How to choose a physiotherapist in Dunedin

Start with your need. Sports injuries, post-surgery rehab, back and neck pain, women's health, and chronic conditions are different areas, so look for a clinic with physios experienced in what you are dealing with.

Check that physios are registered with the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand and ask about ACC, since most clinics are ACC providers and can treat injuries with a lower co-payment. Confirm fees and whether you need a referral.

A good physio explains your diagnosis clearly, sets a realistic plan and gives you exercises to do at home. Reviews, convenient location and appointment availability all help you stick with treatment.

Before you book, ask

  • Have they done similar physiotherapists work in Dunedin recently?
  • What exactly is included in the written quote?
  • How do they communicate, and how do they handle timelines?
  • Are they suitably qualified, licensed and insured?
  • What does aftercare or any workmanship guarantee cover?

Frequently Asked Questions

A standard private session often runs around $70 to $110, while ACC-covered injury treatment usually has a smaller surcharge, commonly $20 to $45 per visit. Confirm fees with the clinic when you book.

No, physiotherapists are primary healthcare providers, so you can book directly without a GP referral. For an injury, the clinic can often lodge an ACC claim for you at your first visit.

Most Dunedin clinics are ACC providers, so treatment for an accident or injury is partly covered, with a small surcharge per visit. Treatment for non-injury conditions is usually charged at the private rate.

Physios treat sports injuries, back and neck pain, joint and muscle problems, post-surgery rehabilitation, and help with mobility and chronic pain. Many clinics also offer dry needling, massage and exercise programmes.

It depends on the injury or condition. Some issues resolve in a few visits, while rehabilitation can take longer. A good physio gives you an estimate and reviews your progress as you go.

Reputable clinics employ physiotherapists registered with the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand and holding an annual practising certificate. You are welcome to ask about a physio's qualifications and experience.
