Shoulder Physiotherapy · Ponsonby
Get to the root of your shoulder pain
Shoulder pain has a habit of working its way into everything: your sleep, your training, even reaching for a seatbelt. We target the cause of it, not just the sore spot, with a full assessment, hands-on treatment and a clear plan to get you reaching, lifting and sleeping freely again.
40 minutes
A full first appointment, assessment to treatment
ACC registered
We handle the claim, no referral needed
Root cause
We treat what started it, not just the sore spot
A proper assessment to find the real cause
Shoulders are complicated, and the spot that hurts is often not the spot that started it. Your first appointment is a full forty minutes: we assess properly, agree your goals, deliver hands-on treatment, and send you home with the exercises that make it stick. We treat the cause so you do not keep coming back with the same shoulder.
A whole team behind your shoulder
As part of a multi-disciplinary clinic, your shoulder rehab can draw on massage, acupuncture and clinical Pilates where they help, all coordinated by your physio. ACC registered, and no referral needed.
