Hillcrest Physiotherapy Clinic has been operating in
Hillcrest since Zoe Clifford established it in 1990. It was located in
Hillcrest Medical Centre at 189 Cambridge Road, until that building was
destroyed by fire in 2002
After that disastrous event the clinic operated in
temporary premises at 134 and 140 Cambridge Road while awaiting
construction of new purpose-built premises.
It was a pleasure to move into the new Hillcrest Healthcare building in
October 2004, together with doctors, dentists, pharmacy, and medical
laboratory.
In 2007 Karen
Carmichael become the new owner of Hillcrest Physiotherapy. Our
dedicated staff will continue to provide the high-quality service that
Hillcrest Physiotherapy Clinic has always been noted for.
Adjacent to the reception area, office and waiting
room there are 6 fully equipped treatment cubicles with solid walls between
each cubicle.
The clinic
features a spacious gymnasium.
There are 6 treatment
beds in the gymnasium section with curtain screening for privacy.
FREE WALKING GROUP
Starting the 7th July every Tuesday and Thursday from 10am, there will
be a walking group led by one of the clinic's staff, leaving from the
Hillcrest Medical Centre Carpark. Walks will be 45 mins to 1 hour long
depending on fitness levels of the group.
The aim is to encourage people to get out and about in a safe, friendly
environment. It is hoped a group will develop which will motivate each
other to get moving, especially during the chilly winter months. It
will also act as a way for people to meet others. It is open to all,
including Mum's with strollers.
To register your interest please phone the clinic or email us.

CHANGES TO ACC AND THE ENDORSED PROVIDER
SCHEME
Changes to funding for physiotherapy from ACC come into effect on the
16th November 2009. From then on we will no longer be able to offer a
free service, and have had to introduce a co-payment to cover the
shortfall in funding. We have tried to make this as fair as possible,
to cover our costs, but also to ensure that physiotherapy remains
accessible to the majority of our clients. See the fees and co-payment
page for details of the new charges. If you have any queries regarding
the charges please contact the clinic.
