You can book an appointment online using our booking portal. This allows you to easily see all the physios’ available times and pick a time that suits your needs. Alternatively, you can call us on 09 475 5780 and one of our team can schedule you in.

While ACC provides some coverage for our services, it doesn’t fully cover our costs. The surcharge helps bridge this gap. We boast a team of highly qualified physiotherapists who take pride in their extensive knowledge and experience. For instance, our Clinical Director, Wayne, has over 20 years of experience in physiotherapy. The surcharge ensures we can continue delivering the high-quality care and expertise you deserve.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment you can do so by calling 09 475 5780 or replying to your reminder text. We understand that life can get busy, and there may be times when you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. For this reason we send out an appointment reminder 48 hours before your scheduled appointment and we kindly request that cancellations be made at least 24 hours before your appointment time. This allows us to offer your appointment slot to someone else who could benefit from it. Please be aware that any same-day cancellations or non-attendances will result in a $30.00 fee. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

We offer several convenient payment options for your appointment. You can pay using Eftpos or cash, with many of our patients opting for the ease of payWave. If you prefer, we can also email you an invoice for payment via bank transfer. Additionally, we’re affiliated with Southern Cross Easy-Claim and can submit claims on your behalf, provided we have your policy number. Please note that patients under the Careway program are not required to pay surcharges as they are covered by the program. For more information about Careway, you can visit their website here.

This depends on your insurance coverage. If you’re with Southern Cross, we can use your policy number to check your balance for physiotherapy and claim the surcharge for you through their Easy-Claim service. If your policy only partially covers the cost, you’ll need to pay the difference. For other insurers, you’ll pay the surcharge and we’ll email you a receipt to claim from your insurer. For more information about Southern Cross Easy-Claim visit their website here.

Your initial appointment will involve a subjective (information gathering) and objective (physical assessment) assessment. After your assessment, your physio will discuss your injury diagnosis, recovery, and proposed treatment plan. Your physio may do some hands-on treatment and prescribe some exercises for you to do at home. If necessary, your physio can also refer you for an x-ray or ultrasound.

We recommend that you wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for your physiotherapy session. If you’re coming in for a knee injury, consider wearing shorts, or a singlet for a shoulder injury. This ensures that we can easily access the affected area for a thorough assessment and effective treatment. Loose clothing also allows us to observe how your muscles and joints function during movement. Additionally, if your treatment plan includes exercises in our on-site gym, wearing appropriate attire will make it easier for you to perform the movements and for us to guide you through them.

Your physio will discuss with you the appropriate treatment plan best suited to your specific injury. The number of appointments varies based on individual factors such as injury type, severity, age, and personal health. Some may need only a few sessions, while others may require more. Each recovery journey is unique and determined on a case-by-case basis.

Absolutely, you’re welcome to bring your children along to your appointment. However, we kindly ask for your vigilance in ensuring their safety, especially as our clinic can get very busy with other patients doing exercises and using gym equipment. While we are child-friendly, please note that we are unable to offer childcare services during your appointment. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.

For children under the age of 16, it’s required that a parent or guardian accompany them to their initial appointment. This is because individuals under 16 cannot sign the consent form to lodge ACC claims. The necessity for a parent or guardian at follow-up appointments can be discussed with the physiotherapist.

Physiotherapists provide person and whānau-centred healthcare. They use their in-depth knowledge of how the body works, combined with hands-on clinical skills, to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of various conditions. A key part of their role is treating injuries and working with individuals to prevent re-injury. This is achieved through a combination of hands-on treatment and prescribed exercises tailored to each person’s needs, which aid in rehabilitation and recovery.

To ensure your comfort during visits, we welcome the presence of a support person at your appointments.

At your first appointment with Alex, you can expect a personalised and comprehensive assessment.

We understand that your first pelvic health appointment might feel a bit daunting, and it’s completely normal to feel nervous. Please know that we’re here to support you every step of the way and to create a safe space for you to address your pelvic health concerns. Our rooms are private, we lock the door at your request, and we use privacy screens for added comfort. You’re also welcome to bring a support person with you if you’d like. During your first session, a complete exam isn’t mandatory. Some individuals prefer to discuss their concerns initially, gradually easing into the environment. We can then proceed at your own pace from there. Our goal is to work with you, for you, ensuring that your experience is as comfortable and as beneficial as possible.

The Careway program at Physio HQ provides physio appointments at no cost to eligible patients. However, there may be additional costs for extra braces or exercise equipment like therabands for home exercises. These potential costs will be discussed transparently with your physiotherapist. The only other investment is your time! You’ll be asked to fill out questionnaires to track your progress and it’s important to keep up with the exercises set by your physio.

At Physio HQ, we’re providers of the ACC-funded Careway program. This initiative is designed for individuals with specific injuries such as those to the knee, shoulder, spine, or ankle. With Careway, eligible patients receive physiotherapy treatments with us, without paying a surcharge for their appointment. Careway also offers easier access to additional services you may need to ensure a swift recovery.

Eligibility for the Careway program is determined based on specific criteria. It is designed for individuals with certain injuries, specifically to the knee, shoulder, spine, or ankle. Not all injuries qualify for this program. During your initial ACC appointments with us at Physio HQ, your physiotherapist can discuss the Careway program with you and conduct an assessment to determine if your injury fits the criteria for the associated pathway. This ensures that those who can benefit most from the program are able to access it.

Yes! The complex has two disability parks located opposite our entrance, alongside the fence. Our entire workspace is in on ground level and our bathroom facilities have enough space to allow wheelchair access with handrails to assist with transfers.

We have four patient carparks at Physio HQ, loacted on the right side round the back of the complex, and clearly marked with our signage. At times, these may be full due to high demand. However, there are two additional non-allocated parking spaces adjacent to ours, as well as street parking nearby. Please be aware that we share the complex with three other businesses. If our spots are full upon your arrival, we kindly ask that you refrain from parking in their allocated spaces.
