Anyone know a good physio in Hamilton?

Pretty sure I've torn something in my upper back and it's not getting better by itself, so does anyone know a good place to go to in Hamilton such as a physio to help with my problem. I got an ACC referral to go where ever I want so I want to go to the right place the first time and make it count.

Is that cause he's a bodybuilder? Lol

I agree, Peter Hunt. Or Bev who also works at his practise. Not cause he's a bodybuilder, he just gets it right.

Not sure if Fiona Goddard is still at Sports Med Physio in Hamilton (I saw her there about ankle problems several years ago), but I found her to be fantastic, and other family members have been happy with other physios at that clinic too. They dedicate a good amount of time to diagnosis and treatment. Peter Hunt sorted out my rotator cuff problem, also several years ago now, but his approach was a bit different - after the initial appointment he tended to see several patients at once, used those electric devices a lot, it all seemed a bit more rushed and less hands-on.

My advice is to start with one physio, and once they've made a diagnosis, ask roughly how soon you should expect to see improvement. If it isn't improving in that timeframe - despite you consistently following their instructions - and they're still sticking with their diagnosis, don't hesitate to switch to a different physio (at another clinic) for second opinion on diagnosis and treatment.

Vicky Dunlop is good I had dry needling do on my shoulder, chest and lats feel great afterwards and only cost $10 on ACC. Also had some lower back work done. But she is biased in Te Awamutu only a short drive from Hamilton I make the trip whenever I had issues with my lower back.
