Flow Clinic is a lower body injury rehab & 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.
When tendon or heel pain has stopped improving, shockwave therapy can support the next stage of recovery. We pair it with a progressive loading plan for Achilles, plantar heel and selected knee tendon conditions.
The first appointment is about understanding the problem properly. We assess the whole lower limb chain, from hip and pelvic control through knee mechanics to foot loading, then combine hands-on physical therapy, exercise and practical support around the injury and your goals.
Your rehab plan progresses toward walking, stairs, running, gym, work or sport with clear strength and load milestones rather than guesswork.
Sports Injury Rehab →
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 don’t need to know which treatment you need. Just pick the one that sounds most like you, and we’ll 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 the North Shore. 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.
