ACC sensitive claims
Physiotherapy for ACC sensitive claims
If you have an ACC sensitive claim and are working with a counsellor or therapist, physiotherapy can be part of your recovery plan. We offer careful, body-based support in Mission Bay, alongside your therapy.
You set the pace, and you can pause or stop at any time.
How physiotherapy can help
Sometimes what you've been through shows up in your body. We can help with:
- Physical symptoms, such as muscle tension, pain, or symptoms that tests haven't been able to explain.
- Breathing, understanding how your breath is linked to stress and trauma symptoms, and using it to help calm anxiety.
- Feeling more comfortable with touch, if you want to, in small, gradual steps, always at your pace and only with your permission.
Getting started
Physiotherapy under the Sensitive Claims Service is fully funded by ACC, so there's no cost to you. You'll need a referral from your lead provider, usually your counsellor or therapist, so talk to them about adding physiotherapy to your recovery plan. We can work with you whichever Sensitive Claims Service supplier they're with.
If you have questions first, book a free 15-minute chat, or call or email us.
For counsellors and therapists
Counsellors and therapists can refer by emailing [email protected], or get in touch first to talk it through.
