Proactive Physio is a physiotherapy clinic at Aurum House on Frankton Road, in the Terrace Junction complex in Frankton, Queenstown; its website is proactivephysio.co.nz. A good physiotherapist does more than chase the sore spot: expect a first visit built around a proper assessment of how you move, some hands-on treatment, and a short programme of exercises to keep up at home, because most recovery happens between appointments. In New Zealand, physios registered with ACC can assess and treat accident injuries without a GP referral, which matters in a town where skiers, trampers and mountain bikers are forever turning up with sore knees, shoulders and backs. When choosing, look for a practitioner who explains the injury in plain language and sets goals you can measure, rather than one who leans on machines alone. For Frankton locals and anyone travelling between central Queenstown and the airport, a physio at Terrace Junction is a handy thing to have close by.
