Welcome

What you need to know

A specialist physiotherapy consultation can help you understand the underlying causes of your current issues. Together, we will develop a personalised plan that combines the latest evidence with your personal values. If referred by your physiotherapist, I can also provide recommendations for your ongoing treatment.

 

You may be referred by your doctor, specialist, physiotherapist, or another registered healthcare provider. If you prefer, your physiotherapist can accompany you to the consultation.

 

Your whānau or support people are also very welcome to attend the consultation.

 

ACC covers one initial consultation and up to four follow-up sessions, as required. The purpose of ACC funding for specialist physiotherapy is to support the referrer in reaching a diagnosis, offer expert advice on treatment direction, including a rehabilitation plan, or provide specialist rehabilitation for complex issues. The referral must specify "for physiotherapy specialist assessment".

 

Private appointments are available via a referral from your registered health professional. If you have private health insurance it is recommended that you confirm specialist physiotherapy is covered prior to referral.

 

Initial consultations last up to 60 minutes, with follow-up sessions, if needed, lasting up to 30 minutes.

 

Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for examination.
