About Us

Take charge & drive forward
for positive experiences.

Our goal is to treat each client in a way that we’d like our family members to be treated. Our Physiotherapists come from a broad range of backgrounds and expertise, and we’d like to make sure that you receive the best possible care from the provider(s) most suitable for your needs. We thrive on second opinions and inviting you to ask all your questions, raise all your insights and concerns so we can best support you achieving your goals.

Referrals

You do not need a referral to access our services. We can lodge your ACC claim (when appropriate), assess your injury or condition, start treatment immediately and refer you onward when necessary. We can also refer you for X-ray and Ultrasound scans to Pacific Radiology or Public Hospital when needed for further diagnoses. Dunedin is a great place for team players and we love working alongside a wide range of Health and Wellbeing Professionals for the best outcome for you.

ACC providers

Our Physiotherapists are all Registered ACC providers and able to lodge your claim and provider treatments. It is worth noting that day to day Physiotherapy services are partially funded by ACC and a surcharge applies.

Please reach out to ask any questions you may have.

Is it a journey or a quick fix?

If we find you suffered from a simple sprain or strain you can expect a fast recovery. However, if the injury is more severe, there is nerve involvement or if there is a biomechanical imbalance or chronic condition you can expect a longer period of rehabilitation to achieve long term results. Once pain is under control, stability and basic movement restored; it is important to review and address underlying imbalances, weaknesses, compensatory movements to allow safe return to all activities without risking further injuries.
