A physiotherapy clinic in central Blenheim, led by Richie Marsden, that aims to get people back on track as quickly as possible. The clinic says it would rather see patients less often, because the goal is a full recovery.
Each visit begins with a thorough assessment to find the cause of the pain or problem. Patients leave with an explanation of what is causing it, exercises to do before the next visit, and a tailored rehabilitation plan. The clinic combines hands-on manual therapy with an individual home exercise programme, and it offers postural and lifting technique analysis. Acupuncture and dry needling are also offered, along with pre- and post-operative rehabilitation.
The clinic treats neck and back pain, acute injuries, arthritis, and sports injuries, including return-to-sport programmes. It also does pre-match strapping and taping for social and representative sport.
Hours are Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm, and Friday, 8am to 2pm. Appointments can be made by calling (03) 578 8310 or by coming in.
The clinic is at 11 Francis Street, Blenheim Central. Our pick in Blenheim for an injury that needs a clear plan, whether from sport or a stiff neck at work.
