Unit 5 at 330 Lambton Quay is a physiotherapy clinic in the Wellington CBD, and its distinctive feature is 30-minute appointments, which the clinic says allow an accurate diagnosis. It has been operating since 1989. Its website lists care for running, biking and snow sports injuries, shoulder, knee, elbow and ankle problems, neck and back pain, headaches, post-operative rehab, workstation ergonomics, arthritis, acupuncture and pregnancy-related discomfort. Online consultations are offered, ACC claims are listed among its services, and you can book online or call 04 499 3504.
Reviewers praise the friendly staff more than anything else. One came in with a rugby shoulder injury and said three visits sorted it, with the reception as friendly as the treatment. Another, a basketball player with a history of serious injuries, recommends the clinic. A mixed view comes from a reviewer who felt the physio looked up the injury and a programme during the session and seemed unsure how to treat it. Our pick on Lambton Quay for a friendly first visit after a sports knock.
