Evidence-based physiotherapy and rehabilitation at the Foundation Precinct, Newmarket. From acute injuries and post-surgery rehab to chronic pain and return to sport — our expert team gets you back to doing what you love.
At Auckland Physiotherapy, we work closely with every patient to design specific, individualised treatment that achieves the best possible outcome. Whether it's spinal care, sports rehab, Pilates, acupuncture, or arthritis management — we've got you covered.
No referral from your doctor is needed. If you've had a recent injury, we can complete your ACC claim directly. And if you need imaging or specialist input, we can refer you — without you having to start over somewhere else.

Book Free 15-min CallYour first session is thorough, action-oriented, and you'll leave with a clear plan. No vague reassurances — a diagnosis, a treatment, and milestones.
A thorough clinical assessment covering your injury history, baseline strength and movement testing, and a clear diagnosis. 45–60 minutes for a first session.
Treatment starts in your first session — manual therapy, exercise prescription, or targeted rehab. No waiting until the next appointment.
A custom home programme with video demonstrations, clear milestones, and an honest timeline — so you know exactly how many appointments to expect.
Regular progress reviews. If you're not improving as expected, a senior clinician reviews your case at no extra charge — we don't leave you stuck.
Every recovery is different, but here are realistic timelines based on our clinical experience. Early intervention and consistent home exercise always shortens the journey.
Rehab physio provides structured recovery programmes for post-surgery rehabilitation, sports injuries, work-related strains, arthritis management, and chronic pain. We specialise in ACL reconstruction, knee and hip replacements, rotator cuff repairs, spinal surgery recovery, and return-to-sport protocols. Our approach combines hands-on therapy, progressive loading, and functional testing — tailored to your work, sport or daily goals.
No — you can book directly without a GP referral. New Zealand physiotherapists are first-contact providers for most rehabilitation needs. We coordinate with surgeons and GPs for post-operative protocols and imaging reviews. Same-week appointments are available.
Your first 45–60 minute session includes a full injury or surgery history, baseline strength and movement testing, goal-setting, initial treatment, and a custom home programme with video demonstrations. Treatment starts immediately — manual therapy, gait retraining, or Phase 1 strengthening. You'll leave with clear milestones for your recovery.
Acute injuries typically need 4–8 sessions over 4–6 weeks. Post-surgery rehab averages 12–24 sessions over 3–6 months. Chronic conditions vary from 8–16 sessions depending on consistency. We review your progress at session 3 and adjust the plan if needed — we don't keep you coming back without good reason.
Yes — ACC funds rehab physio for surgery recovery, accident-related injuries, and gradual process claims, with small co-pays after the initial assessment. No GP referral is required — we lodge claims the same day for an immediate rehab start. We also accept Southern Cross Easy-Claim. Private pay is available for non-ACC conditions. See our fees page for details.
Our four tiers reflect experience and qualification levels. Tier 1 Physiotherapists (0–3 years) are ideal for straightforward first-time injuries. Senior Physiotherapists (5–19 years, post-graduate certified) handle more complex or chronic cases. Masters Physiotherapists (17+ years, Master's degree) are for recurring or persistent problems that haven't resolved. Specialists (NZ Board-Certified) manage the most complex spinal and pain cases by referral. Not sure which level? Book a free phone consult and we'll advise.
Yes — our NZ Board-Certified Specialist Physiotherapists (Katy Carnachan and Cat Pollard) require a referral from a GP, specialist, or one of our own senior clinicians. If you're unsure whether you need specialist-level care, book a free consultation and we'll assess your history and advise the right pathway.
