A physiotherapy clinic in Petrie Carpark in Richmond, Nelson, next to The Stables Restaurant at the back of Sundial Square. The clinic has recently moved to this spot, so it is worth knowing the new location if you have been before.
The clinic treats sports, spinal and workplace injuries, and it builds an individual treatment plan for each patient. Ash, the physiotherapist, has a Bachelor of Physiotherapy with distinction and a particular interest in sports injuries, knee and shoulder injuries, and exercise prescription and gym training. He is the physiotherapist for Nelson Rugby Football Club and has also worked with Nelson Giants and Tasman United Football. The clinic can refer for X-rays and ultrasound scans and for orthopaedic specialist review. It also offers pre- and post-operative care for orthopaedic conditions.
Patients do not need a referral. The clinic is ACC registered, so an injury from an accident at home, in a car, at work or on a sports field may be covered, and the clinic can register the claim at the first visit or use an existing one. Patients who already have an ACC claim are asked to bring any letters, referrals or scans from their GP or previous provider. Bookings can be made online. Charges apply for consumables used in treatment.
Our pick in Richmond for a sports injury that needs a physio who knows the local rugby and football teams.
