ACC Physiotherapy in Christchurch

If you've been injured in an accident, at work, or during sport, ACC will likely cover most or all of your physiotherapy costs. At Embrace Physiotherapy, we are a registered ACC provider and we make the process as straightforward as possible so you can focus on recovering.

You do not need a referral from your GP to see us. You can book directly online, by phone, or by email, and we will handle the ACC claim paperwork with you at your first appointment.

ACC covers a wide range of injuries including sprains and strains, fractures and dislocations, muscle tears, sports injuries, work-related injuries, and injuries from accidents. If you are unsure whether your injury is covered, get in touch and we can help you work it out.

Your ACC-funded appointments at Embrace Physiotherapy are priced as follows:

  • ACC Initial Assessment: $60

  • ACC Follow-Up: $55

These co-payments are your contribution toward the cost of treatment. ACC subsidises the remainder directly with the clinic.

If your injury is not ACC-covered, we also offer private appointments at $120.

Our approach at Embrace is to give you a clear plan from your very first session. We will assess your injury, explain what is going on, and walk you through a rehabilitation programme designed around your lifestyle and goals - whether that is getting back to work, back to sport, or simply moving without pain again.

Both our Wairakei Road (Burnside) and Cavendish Road locations are ACC registered. We also see patients at Flex Fitness Burnside.
