Description

Welcome to UniSports Sports Medicine, a multi-disciplinary medical treatment and research facility specialising in sports injuries and rehabilitation. In January 2008 UniSports was recognised by FIFA as a Medical Centre of Excellence.

The clinic accommodates over 20 sports health professionals including Sports & Exercise Physicians, Sports Orthopaedic Surgeons, Sports Physiotherapists and Podiatrists, all working collaboratively for the benefit of our athletic population.

This team approach means you have easy access to the appropriate professionals and that all aspects of your injury may be treated, from diagnosis through to full rehabilitation.

While we look after professional, Olympic and High Performance Sport New Zealand athletes, our aim is to offer the same standard of care to all people who are involved in recreational exercise, dance or sport.

At all times, your Sports Medicine concerns are our concerns. Please contact us if you feel we can help you.
