It's likely your physiotherapist will want to visually observe the area to be examined so please bring some loose fitting clothes, sports top andshorts with you to the appointment. Your treatment plan is also likely to include exercise so wear something which is comfortable to exercise and move in.
What will happen at my first appointment?
We will take a thorough history of your complaint alongside information about your medical history and lifestyle in order to gain an understanding of your injury. We will then perform a physical examination in order to reach clear diagnosis. This will enable us to form a treatment plan which we will discuss with you.
Do you offer online appointments?
Yes, we offer online appointments for both ACC and private patients at the same fees as in person appointments. Once an appointment is booked we will send you a link to join the consultation using the camera on your computer/device.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
This will vary based on your injury and will be discussed with you at your initial appointment. How often you need to attend physiotherapy for optimal outcomes will also be discussed.
Do I need a referral from my G.P or consultant?
No, physiotherapists are autonomous health practitioners and experts in managing musculoskeletal conditions. You are welcome to get in touch and make an appointment directly
How does ACC work?
Everyone in New Zealand pays ACC levies. ACC covers some of the treatment costs associated with accidents and injuries. This includes physiotherapy costs to help you recover. ACC does not cover degenerative conditions that happen over time or sickness/illness. You don't need to have a valid ACC claim before coming to physiotherapy. We can register the claim to ACC on your behalf.
How do i know if I need physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy can help in most cases if you have a loss of your usual function or an increase in pain from an injury, accident or health condition. If you’re not sure physiotherapy is right for your situation feel free to book a free 10 minute complimentary call to ask any questions and get some guidance.
Is there parking at your clinic?
There is a large council run undercover car park with lots of availability next to the gym at a small fee of $1 / hr. North shore physiotherapy is based in Anytime fitness Takapuna, which is down the stairs from the Killarney street car park. See Video HERE
