Rick has been full time in Musculoskeletal Medicine since the late 1970’s. He was one of the founders of
the NZ Association of Musculoskeletal Medicine and was responsible for the name.
He practiced for many years in Browns Bay, Auckland, and moved to Tauranga in 2005, where he
continues in Specialist Practice. He consults by referral at 8 Grenada Street, Mt Maunganui.
He holds a diploma in Musculoskeletal Medicine and a fellowship in the Australasian Faculty of
Musculoskeletal Medicine. He has also trained in Interventional Pain Medicine.
He has spent many years looking at the relationship between ergonomics, core stability and dysfunctional
breathing in the causalgia of musculoskeletal problems. Without an initial diagnosis, treatment is
ineffective. The diagnosis must include not only the cause of the dysfunction, but also why conventional
treatment has been unsuccessful. Only then can an adequate Diagnosis, Management and Treatment Plan
be implemented. The emphasis is on the patient taking ownership of their management and becoming
self reliant. Using this approach, many people who have been labeled as having chronic musculoskeletal
pain can be more effectively treated, at least substantially reducing their pain, often returning them to
an essentially pain free state and improving their quality of life.

Mr Adam Bialostocki
Mr. Bialostocki is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon, with a full Fellowship in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery from
the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS). He is a graduate of Otago Medical School (1993)
& has since worked in Wellington, Lower Hutt, Auckland, Waikato & Middlemore Hospitals in a variety
of different surgical specialties. He was trained in the New Zealand Plastic Surgery training program at
Middlemore Hospital & Hutt Hospital. After being awarded his Fellowship in Plastic Surgery, he further
honed his knowledge with extended visits to some of the most prominent plastic surgeons in Australia
and Europe. He now resides in the Bay of Plenty. His in-depth experience in the field of plastic surgery is
an integral part of Mr.Bialostocki’s skill as a surgeon today, and a talent for the procedures he performs
has gained him a reputation as a highly respected plastic surgeon. Although his practice encompasses all
areas of plastic surgery, his main emphasis is breast surgery (including breast augmentation, breast lift,
breast reduction & breast reconstruction), body contouring (including liposuction & abdominoplasty) and
facial rejuvenation (facelifts, mid-face lifts, neck lifts, eyelid surgery, browlifts, rhinoplasty). The emerging
field of body contouring after massive-weight loss is a fascinating new sub-area, & Mr. Bialostocki keeps
up-to-date with the leading techniques. He also performs a large amount of skin cancer surgery, hand
surgery, gynaecomastia correction & ACC scar revision surgery. He has developed a special interest
in lipomodelling, the use of micro-fat grafts for cosmetic & reconstructive use. Mr. Bialostocki has an
appointment at Tauranga Hospital as the visiting Plastic Surgery Consultant, is a member of the Plastic
Surgery department at Waikato Public Hospital in Hamilton and has his own clinic in Tauranga, Bay
Plastic Surgery.
