Physical therapy shouldn't hurt, and it will be safe. But because you'll use parts of your body that are injured or have chronic pain, physical therapy can be challenging, even hard. For example, you may feel sore after stretching or deep tissue massage.

Both physiotherapists and doctors are able to diagnose your injury. Like doctors, physiotherapists are “first contact” practitioners so they do not need a referral from a doctor in order to examine, diagnose and treat injuries.

A referral is not necessary, though if you have one bring it with you so that the Physiotherapist can communicate with the referring practitioner if required.

This depends on many factors. Following your assessment, our trained Physiotherapists will discuss the anticipated number of treatments.
If we see little to no improvement and we think it is necessary, referral to a specialist can be arranged.

Initial appointments are approximately 40-50 minutes and Follow Up appointments are about 30 minutes.
All of our clinics offer parking either in front or at the back of each building.

If your injury is not covered by ACC, our physiotherapist's are still happy to treat you. If you do have medical insurance then we are more than happy to provide you with receipts for you to claim through them.

If you have any reports or x-rays/scans it may be helpful if you bring them with you to the appointment.
