Physio Studio on Newton Street in Mount Maunganui is a small clinic with a strong focus on pelvic and women's health. It also treats ACC and work injuries, lower back and neck injury, headaches, facial and jaw pain, and conditions treated with manipulative therapy, dry needling and acupuncture. The clinic says its appointments are long enough for a thorough assessment, and rehabilitation can be done at home or one on one in a gym, depending on what suits the patient.
The pelvic health work is the most specific part of what they do. They lodge ACC claims for birth-related injuries from births after October 2022, including tears and tearing of the deep pelvic floor muscles. The clinic suggests a prenatal check around 20 weeks and a postnatal check at 6 to 8 weeks after birth. It also runs ACC return-to-work programmes with employers and staff, and offers pre and post-operative rehabilitation and biomechanics assessments. For people in Mount Maunganui who want a planned programme rather than a quick fix, that range of services in one small clinic is the main reason to look at it.
