In conjunction with Balance Physiotherapy, Boys’ High provides a physiotherapy service on Mondays through Fridays in the Jim Burrows Fitness Centre. Physiotherapy provided at school means less academic time lost and no travel costs or time. You can get early treatment of your injuries and have less time out of the sport or activities you are involved with.
Sharada Stewart and Tom Fraser from Balance Physiotherapy are experienced in sports physiotherapy and injury management in the adolescent age group. They can also consult with coaches and PE staff to help you get the correct level of activity as you recover. There is no need to be referred by a doctor but if the physiotherapist feels a GP or specialist needs to be consulted or x-rays taken, they can organise this at assessment. Get treated early for a good recovery!
ACC still subsidise accident-related physiotherapy treatment and we can initiate your ACC claim for you. Balance Physiotherapy charge co-payments, you will be notified of these in the consent email sent to parents, and they are also displayed in the physio room. Holders of a CSC are eligible for a discounted rate, evidence of CSC must be provided with consent to receive this discount. These co-payments may be claimed on Private Health insurance; check your policy. We also treat non-ACC cases.
For more information or to make an appointment contact Student Services on 348 5003, ext 231, or Balance Physiotherapy: phone 021 742 723, email info@balancephysio.co.nz, book online at www.balancephysio.co.nz or find us on Facebook.
Learning Support
We recognise that some students require additional resources and individual programmes in order to develop social and emotional skills to reach their full potential.
