Physiotherapy based at Netball Waitakere in Henderson, at 31-35 Te Pai Place. The physiotherapists are university trained and treat injuries and pain in the musculoskeletal system, for both ACC and non-ACC injuries. The practice is ACC accredited, so no GP referral is needed.
Treatment includes massage, manual therapy, joint mobilisation and manipulation, interferential, ultrasound, TENS, dry needling, strapping and exercise programmes. Each assessment looks at lifestyle and workplace habits as well as the injury, and the plan includes exercises to prevent re-injury. The clinic offers live ultrasound scanning as part of the assessment for lower back pain, and a gait analysis on a thermal pressure plate, with custom orthotics made from the results. The website says children with growing pains and adults with repeated injuries can both use the gait check.
The clinic accepts Southern Cross Easy Claim: bring your membership card, and the clinic checks whether physiotherapy is covered and invoices Southern Cross directly. Appointments are booked by phone, text, email or the online form, and a booking is confirmed once the clinic contacts you. The clinic is closed on Sundays and public holidays.
