What is Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy focuses on assessing, diagnosing, and treating musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. It aims to relieve pain, restore normal movement patterns and provide people with the education to enable them to return to their functional goals. We implement evidence based practice by using a variety of techniques such as manual therapy, joint mobilization, exercise prescription, Pilates, dry needling and education to provide the best outcome for our patients.

Sports physiotherapy is a specialized area of physiotherapy that deals specifically with injuries and conditions related to sports and physical activity. Sports physiotherapists work with athletes to help them recover from acute injuries, prevent future injuries, and improve performance through tailored rehabilitation programs and exercise plans. We know the importance of exercise and can adapt rehabilitation to ensure we keep you moving and get back to the activities you love.

In New Zealand we can register your injury with ACC, order an X-ray or ultrasound and if additional imaging or specialized intervention is needed we can refer you to a sports doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
