How do I get physiotherapy (and do I need a referral)?
Chances are, if you’ve had a muscle injury that has brought you to urgent care, physiotherapy could help.
So, we might refer you to an expert physio if you have had a:
- Sprain – especially ankles
- Strain
- Need rehab following a broken bone
- Workplace injury with slower onset of pain
- Back pain
- Show signs of sciatica
- Osteoarthritis diagnosis
Is physiotherapy covered by ACC?
Assuming your injury was due to an accident or workplace injury, ACC will be able to help.
However, if you need physiotherapy for something like Osteoporosis which is not due to an accident, it will not get ACC coverage in New Zealand.
Where to get expert physiotherapy in East Auckland
We regularly refer the fantastic team at East Care Physiotherapy onsite at our premises in East Auckland.
However, as we know, many people come to our A&E after an accident near the clinic; you might need other options near home.
Just ask one of our team if you would like a referral to somewhere more local. Our GPs can suggest suitable options for physio around Auckland and New Zealand (if you are visiting from out of town).
