Public Service

Counties Manukau DHB Physiotherapy Services

Hours

Outpatient clinics operate between 7.30am and 4pm, Monday to Friday. Late clinics are available for some conditions.

Description

Physiotherapists help people move and participate in life and in their communities, especially when movement and function are threatened by ageing, injury, disability or disease.

Physiotherapists are involved in health promotion, injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. 

After assessing a person’s potential for movement and function, the physiotherapist establishes (together with the person, whanau/family and caregivers) treatment goals designed to restore or develop that potential, and then maintain it.

The physiotherapy process involves assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention, treatment or rehabilitation.

Referral Expectations

A referral to physiotherapy can be made by any healthcare professional in writing directly to our team. For clarification on any service ring (09) 276 0277 and you can be linked to the specific service.
