Hawera Physiotherapy Clinic is a purpose-built, ACC-accredited physiotherapy clinic at 369 South Road in Hawera, South Taranaki. Its website describes a fully equipped functional gym, which is also open to members on flexible membership. The clinic also runs private sessions and classes in yoga and Pilates, and its team includes acupuncturists. Services listed are assessment, diagnosis, treatment plans, manual and manipulative therapy, injury prevention, and rehabilitation for sports and work injuries, surgery recovery, fractures and sprains. The website says no referral is needed. The clinic is open Monday to Friday, from 8am to 5pm.
Customers are mixed. One praises the friendly and caring staff, says the physiotherapist explained in detail how to ease knee swelling, and mentions the welcoming reception and the tea offered at the desk. Another says the physiotherapist, Zoe, is helpful, compassionate and good fun. A third is critical: they say they were rebuked for describing how intense their pain was, that several injuries in a short period were not linked, and that the care was disorganised with no clear plan.
