Stan from Mairangi Bay

Yes I am all of the above, please can anyone suggest recommend someplace I can go ( but not the glue factory yet) for some way of easing up years of building work so I can move more easily, think stretching exercise type stuff.
I live in Mairangi Bay, more than happy to do one to one ☝️ just need to sort it. Ideally not too far away.
Thank you
