our services...

We maintain an holistic approach to health & wellbeing and promise to honour the Maori Health Model - Te Whare Tapa Wha in the delivery of our physiotherapy service. This ensures that we're respectful of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and you as an individual are valued for… where you come from, both land & whanau/social environment; what you believe in; and for how you present today, mentally & physically.

We can help with improving the quality of life and/or assisting you with your return to work or play. We are accredited ACC providers with a focus and special interest in musculoskeletal and orthopaedic rehabilitation and we have experience in workplace injuries, vestibular care, and High Performance Sports. Although we do not specialise in neurological, respiratory or women's health physiotherapy our therapists do have an interest and awareness of these areas of health having personally survived the recent Covid-19 epidemic and too experiencing hormonal changes and familial events with changes in the development of the cycle of life!

We will listen to what you can share about your injury history and spend time to help you learn about all contributing factors, not just the sore part. We will help you to help yourself but you will take the lead, we will act on your instruction and collaborate with your wider support group if you wish. We can help you access FREE interpreter services if you require assistance.

We have a one on one style of treatment, treatment rooms are spacious, separate, clean and private; and we have a full rehabilitation gym for private use.

We have the skills, knowledge, and experience to help you to understand your injury and the choice of treatment options available to you. Your bespoke rehabilitation plan is determined on your wants, needs and abilities, we will use the following treatment techniques to help you put the pieces of the puzzle together so that you can reach your goals.

251008 - Treat Me Acute Injury Clinic - FB Cover.jpg

Corina and Karen are teaming up to provide this new service. The combination of skillsets allows for the treatment of acute minor accidents and emergencies, where acute assessment and management will be provided, including minor burns and simple wound care, and if necessary, suturing, medical certification & acute care medical prescription.

This service will be available from 2pm-6pm Tuesday and Friday afternoons. We appreciate that the afternoon’s we have scheduled may not be ideal, this is determined by our joint availability, depending on how the service is received we may look to extend our hours further by providing weekend services.

We envisage that this service will run similarly to A&E, bookings are essential, and all patients will be screened for appropriateness. Our strict criteria for these appointments are:

Minor accidents and emergencies ONLY
Date of injury must be less than 7days
Minor burns and simple wounds
NO life or limb threatening injuries
NO illness

If appropriate we will refer patients on for primary investigations and it is our intention to be able to refer patients back to their Primary Health Providers.

We are taking referrals from wherever/whoever, if you think we could help you, please feel free to call us now on 03 214 0900.
