A physiotherapy clinic on Main North Road in Redwood, Christchurch, that also offers acupuncture alongside physio and rehabilitation. The clinic treats back and neck pain, sports injuries, joint problems, muscle strains and headaches linked to tension.
Each person starts with a relaxed chat about their health and how the problem affects everyday life. The physiotherapist then tests strength and movement to find a starting point, and builds a practical rehab plan around the person's goals, such as getting back to work or a favourite sport. The plan is updated as the person gets stronger, and the pace stays comfortable.
Patients who have been treated for a long time describe a gradual, careful build-up. One reports nearly eighteen months of work on a back injury, moving from gentle core exercise to gym-based strength work. Others describe staff as friendly and helpful at reception and in treatment, and say their therapists were thorough with assessments and kept changing techniques until the progress came. One patient who had about a year of treatment described highs and lows along the way and credits the team with sticking with it.
The clinic is at 199 Main North Road, Redwood, Christchurch. Bookings are made on 03 352 9900. Our pick in Redwood for a back or sports injury that needs a plan built around how you move.
