The Rehab Co in Thorndon, at 14 Gateway Lane, is a sports rehabilitation clinic with a fully equipped rehabilitation gym. Its appointments are longer than usual, and the clinic says its team has often worked in elite sport. It treats sports injuries, strains and sprains, post-operative recovery and complex injuries across the body, and it offers dry needling, acupuncture, personalised orthotics and shockwave therapy from its podiatrists. It also has a TMJ physiotherapist for jaw pain and a pelvic health physiotherapist for pelvic floor concerns. The clinic uses VALD force plate and strength assessment tools to measure progress.
Thorndon is one of the busier physiotherapy areas in central Wellington. Within a kilometre there are 10 other physiotherapy listings, including Reframe Physio, Almao M J, Capital Sports Medicine and Wellington Physiotherapy at Complete. Patients can book straight in without a GP referral, and ACC and private appointments are both available. The business also has clinics in Auckland and Christchurch, so a patient who moves can keep a sports injury plan running. Its strength and conditioning work is what sets it apart from a general physio clinic.
