Balance Physiotherapy

Balance Physiotherapy is a physiotherapy clinic based in Cashmere, Christchurch. It focuses on guiding people from the acute phase of injury through to full return to activity, including getting clients back onto the sports field. The clinic identifies rehabilitation goals around what clients need their bodies to do.

Services at Balance Physiotherapy include general physiotherapy and sports rehabilitation. The team describes using a range of techniques and tools to tailor treatment plans to individual needs. Sports rehabilitation includes load-management guidance for young athletes, helping determine how much or how little activity is appropriate during recovery. Pilates sessions are offered as a tool for improving core stability.

Balance Physiotherapy is part of an Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) initiative. The ICP is an ACC-funded package of care provided by an interdisciplinary team, which can include physiotherapists, sports physicians, orthopaedic surgeons and occupational therapists. This pathway supports coordinated care when that approach is appropriate for a client's recovery.

Locally, Balance Physiotherapy is positioned as a clinic that blends injury management, progressive rehabilitation and targeted strength work. Clients can expect personalised plans that consider sporting return and everyday function, with options for interdisciplinary care where ACC funding and the ICP apply. The clinic highlights core stability work such as Pilates alongside hands-on and load-management approaches.
