PhysioLink is a scoliosis centre on Glenfield Road in Glenfield, on the North Shore. It offers the Schroth method of exercise treatment and the Cheneau-Gensingen custom scoliosis brace, both as non-surgical options. The centre says it is the only physiotherapy clinic in New Zealand that offers the Schroth method with these braces. Alongside scoliosis care, it provides physiotherapy, acupuncture and therapeutic massage, and it treats surgical rehabilitation, sports injuries, posture problems and complex spinal injuries.
The team includes physiotherapists, licensed acupuncturists and Schroth exercise specialists. The centre is a registered Easy-Claim provider for Southern Cross Health Insurance, and its website says patients do not need a referral to book. Its senior Schroth Best Practice instructor is both a physiotherapist and an orthotist, and he has treated scoliosis patients with complex and large curves. The Cheneau-Gensingen brace was designed by Dr Hans-Rudolf Weiss and his team.
