Physiotherapy – Rapid Access Lower Limb Clinic
A service to accelerate recovery from leg injuries
At Spire Dunedin Hospital we have a team of lower limb specialists, and provide a rapid access service every Monday morning and Tuesday evening in the Physiotherapy Department.
Our physiotherapists have a wealth of expertise in injuries of the lower limb, with a particular interest in the knee, foot and biomechanical disorders.
This service has been designed to accelerate your recovery from injuries such as knee pain, ankle sprains, or foot injury.
If you have recently developed pain or acquired an injury during the past six weeks, this is the ideal time to start your recovery. It is well recognised that by ignoring your symptoms or delaying treatment it can result in injuries becoming chronic and more difficult to treat, often affecting your long term recovery.
How we can help you
During a 30 minute specialist assessment we assess and diagnose, suggesting ways to promote your recovery. If you need physiotherapy, our team will be able to arrange treatment, organise x-rays, an MRI, or a consultant opinion. If your injury requires immobilisation with a brace or support, we can also offer this as part of our on-site service.
