Mission Health (Physiotherapy and Acupuncture Clinic) is a physiotherapist at 252 Thomas Road in Rototuna, Hamilton, in the Waikato. It has a website, and the name shows it also offers acupuncture.
A good physiotherapist listens to your story, examines how you move and explains what is wrong and how long recovery is likely to take. Expect an assessment, hands-on treatment where it helps, exercises to do at home and advice on getting back to work, sport or daily life. When choosing one, check that they are registered with the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand, ask about their experience with your type of problem and ask what a first appointment costs and whether ACC covers it. Regulars know that doing the exercises between visits matters more than the treatment itself, that early help for sprains and back pain speeds recovery and that ACC can fund treatment for accidental injuries, with the clinic helping lodge a claim. Acupuncture is sometimes used alongside physiotherapy for pain, so ask how it would fit your plan. Wear comfortable clothes that let the physio see the area, and bring any scans or referral letters.
