Flow Clinic is a lower body injury rehab and podiatry clinic in Wairau Valley, North Shore Auckland. We assess how your hip, knee, ankle and foot work together, then guide recovery with manual therapy, exercise rehab, custom orthotics or shockwave therapy.
No GP referral needed for eligible injury claims.
Eligible Southern Cross claims can be processed at the clinic.
If your knee twisted on the field, your ankle rolled on a kerb or your hip took a fall, it may be covered by ACC. As an ACC registered provider we can lodge an eligible claim at your first appointment, assess the whole lower limb, and set a rehab plan that matches the load your body needs to handle.
Some knee, ankle and foot problems need footwear changes or orthotic support alongside rehab, because how your foot loads the ground changes what the knee and hip have to absorb. We prescribe custom orthotics when the biomechanical assessment supports it, not as a default for every painful foot.
Shockwave therapy may be used for selected tendon and soft tissue presentations across the lower limb, including persistent plantar heel pain, Achilles tendon pain and some knee tendon problems, when it fits the clinical picture alongside a loading programme.
The first appointment is about understanding the problem properly. We look at the whole lower limb chain, from hip and pelvic control through knee mechanics down to foot loading, then choose treatment that fits the injury and your life.
Your rehab plan progresses toward walking, stairs, running, gym, work or sport with clear strength and load milestones rather than guesswork.
Sports Injury Rehab Auckland →
We assess pain, movement, strength, balance, gait, footwear, hip control and training load before deciding what treatment actually makes sense.
Lower Limb Assessment →
Persistent tendon pain in the heel, Achilles or knee usually needs the right mix of progressive loading, support and recovery planning.
Achilles Tendinopathy Treatment →Hip, knee, ankle and foot problems are rarely isolated. Start with the area closest to your problem, or book a lower limb assessment and we can guide the next step.
You do not need to know which treatment you need. Start with what happened, and we will guide the rest.

If your knee was hurt in an accident, such as a twist during sport, an awkward landing, a fall or a work incident, it may be covered by ACC. Flow Clinic is an ACC registered provider, so we can lodge an eligible knee claim at your first appointment without a GP referral. Knee pain that built up gradually is generally seen as a private consultation.
We work across the whole lower limb, including the hip, pelvis, knee, shin, calf, ankle and foot. These areas load each other, so a knee or hip problem is often influenced by how the foot and ankle move. We assess and treat that chain together rather than one joint in isolation.
Yes. We regularly collaborate with physiotherapists, GPs, sports doctors and orthopaedic specialists across Auckland. If you already see a physiotherapist, we can work alongside them on biomechanics, footwear or orthotics. We will refer you elsewhere when another provider is better suited to your needs.
For eligible ACC injury claims, the initial appointment is $25 and follow up appointments are $15. Private consultations are $80 initially and $50 for follow up appointments. We are also a Southern Cross Affiliated Provider and can process eligible claims at the clinic.
We take a history of the injury, then assess pain, joint movement, strength, balance, gait and footwear from hip to foot. You will get a clear explanation of what may be driving your symptoms, treatment where appropriate and a rehab plan you can start straight away.
