Sports Physio · Inside Compound
Recovery Room Physiotherapy & Performance runs a clinic inside Compound. Same floor, same building — you don't leave to get treated, and the rehab happens where the training happens.
Your first ACC appointment is free. ACC appointments after that are $15.
Recovery Room Compound Clinic
Most physio finishes in a treatment room and leaves you to work out the rest on your own. This one finishes on a platform, with a bar in your hands and someone watching how you move.
Recovery Room's Compound Clinic is set up for people who train — lifters, runners, field athletes and anyone whose injury keeps flaring up when they go back to it.
It's a short walk from the University of Otago and Unipol, which is why a lot of the people using it are students fitting rehab between classes and training.
The clinic is on the gym floor at Gate J, Level 2A. No second trip across town between your session and your appointment.
Loading a knee or a shoulder back up needs equipment. It's through the door — racks, bars, sleds and 46m of turf.
Your first one is free. ACC appointments after that are $15.
What They Treat
Recovery Room lists the following for the Compound clinic. If yours isn't here, ask them — this is what the clinic is built around, not the limit of what they do.
The Physios
Three of Recovery Room's physiotherapists work out of the Compound clinic. Their full team and bios are on recoveryroom.co.nz.
Leads the Compound clinic. Works in return-to-sport rehab and gym-based loading, so he's the one most likely to hand you a barbell as part of the treatment.
Musculoskeletal physio. Diagnosis-led, and big on you understanding what's actually wrong rather than just being told what to do about it.
Performance rehab and progressive loading — getting people from injured back to training at full intensity, with numbers attached.
Booking
Compound doesn't take physio bookings — the clinic is Recovery Room's, and so is the diary. Book online, or ring them.
