Flow Clinic is a lower limb injury and rehabilitation clinic in Wairau Valley, North Shore Auckland. We assess how your hip, knee, ankle and foot work together, then guide recovery with hands-on treatment, exercise rehab, custom orthotics or shockwave therapy.
No GP referral needed for eligible injury claims.
Easy-claim available for eligible services.
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.
Treatment should connect to the reason you hurt. We use the right mix of hands-on treatment, exercise rehabilitation, footwear advice, custom orthotics or shockwave therapy when appropriate.
We assess the painful area plus movement, strength, balance, gait, footwear and hip-to-foot control, and how the injury affects your day.
Hands-on treatment, soft tissue and deep tissue massage, joint mobilisation, taping, support and load advice to calm symptoms down.
Progressive exercise rehab to rebuild strength, balance and tissue tolerance at a level your body can handle right now.
We guide your return to work, walking, stairs, running, gym or sport with clear, testable progressions.

If your knee was hurt in an accident — a twist or pivot in 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 with no GP referral needed. Knee pain that has built up gradually without a specific accident generally isn’t covered by ACC and would be seen as a private consultation.
We work across the whole lower limb — 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’re already seeing a physiotherapist, we can work alongside them — often on the biomechanical, footwear and orthotic side of a lower limb problem — and we’ll refer you on if your presentation would be better managed elsewhere.
For eligible ACC injury claims the initial appointment is $20 and follow-up appointments are $10. Non-ACC or gradual-onset concerns are seen as a private consultation — contact us for current pricing. We’re also a Southern Cross Affiliated Provider, so Easy-claim is available for eligible services.
We take a history of the injury, then assess pain, joint movement, strength, balance, gait and footwear from hip to foot. You’ll get an explanation of what we think is driving your symptoms, hands-on treatment where appropriate, and a rehab plan you can start straight away.
We’re at 5B/54 View Road, Wairau Valley, on Auckland’s North Shore, a few minutes from Glenfield, Takapuna, Milford, Northcote and Birkenhead, with on-site parking. We’re open Monday to Friday 9am–8pm and Saturday 9am–5pm, closed Sunday.
