Merivale Physiotherapy Clinic Ltd

Welcome to Merivale Physiotherapy Clinic Ltd, located at 208 Papanui Road in Christchurch, New Zealand. Our clinic is an establishment dedicated to providing exceptional healthcare services as physiotherapists. We are a highly regarded point of interest in the community, known for our commitment to patient care and safety.

At Merivale Clinic, your safety is our top priority. We have implemented strict health and safety procedures to ensure a safe environment for all our patients. When visiting the clinic, we kindly request that all patients and their accompanying individuals adhere to these procedures.

If you are feeling unwell or unsure about attending your appointment, we encourage you to contact our office staff at 03 3559775. They will be happy to reschedule your appointment or discuss alternative options such as telehealth consultations with your physiotherapist.

To maintain a safe environment, we kindly ask that you do not bring anyone unnecessary to your appointment. We are limiting the number of people accessing our facility as part of our health and safety measures.

During your treatment, rest assured that your room will be well-ventilated, and we will have air purifiers operating within the room. Additionally, our physiotherapists take great care in regularly sanitizing the surfaces they touch and any equipment used during your consultation.

In the event of an outbreak, such as the Omicron variant, our staff may be required to isolate at home, resulting in temporary unavailability at the clinic. If this occurs, we will make arrangements to reschedule your appointment or offer telehealth consultations or phone calls. We appreciate your understanding as we strive to ensure the continuity of your care.

At Merivale Physiotherapy Clinic, our team consists of highly qualified physiotherapists who work across our clinics to provide a comprehensive range of services. These include manual therapy, pre and post-surgical rehabilitation, biomechanical analysis, muscle screening competency screening, and exercise prescription for individuals of all ages.

We firmly believe that "Your body deserves the best of care," and our physiotherapists are dedicated to restoring your physical function following injury, surgery, or illness.

One of the ways we prioritize your care is by offering 40-minute consultation times. This allows for a detailed assessment of your injury or condition, as well as ample time for treatment and self-management advice. We also provide handouts for any prescribed exercises whenever possible.

We work closely with your referring doctor, specialist, or health professional to ensure coordinated care. A progress letter will be sent to your referring specialist/doctor during your follow-up visit or upon completion of your treatment.

Our clinic is proud to collaborate with ACC (Accident Compensation Corporation) to ensure that injury treatment remains affordable for all New Zealanders. For more information, please visit www.acc.co.nz/news.

Sometimes, surgery becomes the only option when pain and loss of function significantly impact your work, lifestyle, and family. While we believe that "No Surgery is good surgery," we understand the importance of giving your body the best care. Caring for your body enables you to stay active and enjoy life to the fullest.

The direct costs to ACC, such as employers' lost-time injury and human capital costs, are estimated to be at least $3.5 billion each year. At Merivale Physiotherapy, we have developed prescriptive exercise programs to manage chronic conditions, prevent injuries, and promote overall wellness.

Our skilled physiotherapists are here to help you overcome pain, weakness, and build strength, fitness, and independence through specific exercise programs tailored to your needs.

Thank you for choosing Merivale Physiotherapy Clinic Ltd. We look forward to providing you with exceptional care and helping you achieve your health and wellness goals.
