A physio clinic on Fitzgerald Avenue in central Christchurch, set up for sports and exercise injuries. The work starts with hands-on treatment and then a tailored exercise programme, so the rehab carries on at home. Treatment can include taping and strapping, massage and mobilisation, and dry needling. Patients can use the on-site gym while they follow their programme.
The clinic was founded on the idea of longer appointments, so nobody is sent away with a list of exercises and no further attention. It treats back pain, musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and injuries that need rehabilitation. It also offers prevention work: it looks for weak points, fills the gaps it finds, and helps people who want to perform better as well as those who are hurt.
ACC claims are loaded here directly, so there is no need to see a GP first. The clinic is an affiliated provider for Southern Cross, and it offers a premium service for non-ACC complaints, including niggles and preventative screening.
Our pick in central Christchurch for a sports injury that needs both hands-on work and a gym plan.
