Inspire Physio is a physiotherapy clinic at 131 Cambridge Avenue, Ashhurst, the small town on Palmerston North's north-eastern edge, and appointments can be booked online. A good physiotherapist's first job is assessment: taking a proper history, testing how the sore joint or muscle actually moves, and explaining the diagnosis before treatment begins. Expect a mix of hands-on work and prescribed exercise, with the real gains coming from doing that homework consistently between sessions. In New Zealand you don't need a GP referral to see a physio, and injuries from accidents can usually be covered in part by ACC, so a bad back or sprained ankle can go straight to the clinic. Wear clothes you can move in, and a good physio will track your progress in measurable terms rather than letting treatment drift open-ended. For Ashhurst locals, that means proper rehab without the trip into Palmerston North.
