About Mission physio

A physiotherapy clinic on Mission Road in Kerikeri, Northland, run by a physiotherapist who has practised for 21 years, including 14 in the NHS in the UK, and eight years in Northland. The clinic's approach is to combine pain relief, manual therapy and specific strengthening, planned around the underlying problem rather than the symptoms. A first visit is a 45 to 60 minute assessment, followed by an explanation of the findings and a treatment pathway. Reviews are held as treatment goes on, and progress is tracked toward the patient's goals. Joint mobilisation and manipulation are offered, spinal and peripheral. Acupuncture is used alongside manual therapy for musculoskeletal pain, and the clinic says dry needling is a different technique. Clinical Pilates is taught at five levels of difficulty, and programmes are sent to patients by email. Pilates classes run on Tuesday mornings from 8.30 to 9.15 am at Cornerstone Church Kerikeri. Results are shared with the GP through Healthlink, and the clinic can refer patients to specialists, or for x-rays and ultrasound scans.
