STEP 1.

We are fully qualified Physiotherapists with specialist qualifications in a range of areas, including sports medicine and hand therapy.

We can assess & diagnose your injury/condition. You can see us without a referral and we can diagnose your injury/condition.

Your condition does not have to be accident related to consult a physiotherapist on ACC.

You can come straight to us, avoiding an unnecessary visit to the doctor, saving you time and money! We will complete the appropriate paperwork. If required, we can refer you to a doctor, specialist, orthopedic surgeon or radiologist, as appropriate.

We assess injuries and conditions within the context of an individual’s life. We provide education on life style strategies that not only help speed up and enhance recovery but also have the potential to improve quality of life as a whole.

STEP 2.

We can treat you for a wide range of problems, applying specialized physiotherapy techniques and treatments to achieve results:

Manipulation involves manual techniques applied to joints and soft tissues of the body. These ‘hands on’ techniques aid restoration of movement, reduction of pain and reduction of inflammation. These manual techniques also enable and enhance relaxation.

Spinal Treatment Specific assessment and management is provided by our clinic to manage neck and back problems with a variety of treatments available by our trained physiotherapists. 80% of people have neck or back pain at some point in their life and for 60% the pain is recurring. Our comprehensive assessments assist in accurately identifying underlying causes. Our treatment and management plans are then targeted to the individual and are an important tool in preventing recurrence.

Sports Physiotherapy We provide assessment and treatment of sports injuries to assist in quick, efficient recovery. Rehabilitation is provided to return to sport and regain functional use of the injured area. We can also assist sports men and women who are wishing to improve and enhance their performance. Our physiotherapy team have specialised knowledge, work experience and qualifications in the area of sports medicine.

Hand Therapy Hand Therapy involves assessment of pain or injury and rehabilitation of the upper limb, specifically from the elbow to the fingers. Management is specially designed to regain functional use of the hand following injury, disease or post-surgery.

Acupuncture Acupuncture is a form of treatment that utilises needles to stimulate points around the body to give pain relief and aids the promotion of healing by rebalancing systems in the body.

STEP 3.

Exercise & rehabilitation plan:

Our team of physiotherapists provides individual treatment plans specific and responsive to the individual; treatment plans that bring results.
Giving time to an investigative consultation ensures that our treatment plans are targeted and responsive to each individual’s needs. We have a hands-on approach, enabling you to receive the best out of your appointment. Once we have assessed your condition/injury we will combine our physio methods with an exercise plan specifically for you, providing quality care and attention to effectively put you back on track as soon as possible. Not only will the immediate pain or condition be alleviated but your treatment plan will also put in place strategies so that the risk of the injury or condition recurring, are minimised.

STEP 4.

Prevent injuries:

Now that you have improved your health we can help educate you on preventing future injury. Preventative and strategic education minimises the risk of further injury or recurrence of a condition. We work with you to prevent injury at work, playing sport, during recreation and at home. We can help identify the risks, make you aware of what it means to ‘think safe’ and put in place practical strategies that minimise risks.
