Physiotherapy services at Longhurst

You First Physio Longhurst provides physiotherapy and rehabilitation services for people recovering from injury, managing persistent pain, or working toward mobility and performance goals. Located inside the Longhurst Health building in Halswell, we serve families, individuals, and active people throughout Halswell, Hoon Hay, Wigram, and the wider south-west Christchurch area.

Our approach is built on collaboration — we work with you, not on you. Every treatment plan is tailored to your needs, your goals, and your values. You’re always welcome to bring a support person to appointments, and our team is here to support you at every stage of your recovery and beyond.

The Longhurst practice operates five treatment rooms within the Allied Health suite and offers GLA:D® osteoarthritis classes and clinical Pilates. VALD Force Frame technology and hand held dynamometers are available here for objective strength and movement assessment. We have an experienced team of physiotherapists and offer ACC-subsidised physiotherapy, private appointments, and online bookings.

Who we help

We treat people at all stages of life and activity — from acute sports injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation to osteoarthritis management, persistent pain, workplace injury recovery, and pelvic health concerns. Our team has particular skills and knowledge in:

  • Musculoskeletal injury and pain (back, neck, shoulder, knee, hip)
  • Sports injury assessment and rehabilitation
  • Post-surgical recovery (orthopaedic, ACL reconstruction)
  • Hip and knee osteoarthritis (GLA:D® programme)
  • Persistent or complex pain
  • Pelvic health concerns (pre- and post-natal, pelvic pain, incontinence)
  • Workplace injury and vocational rehabilitation
  • Movement assessment and injury prevention

Our approach

Your first appointment includes a thorough assessment, clear explanation of what’s happening, and a treatment plan built around your goals. We use hands-on manual therapy, movement retraining, exercise prescription, and education to help you recover well and stay well.

Treatment may include soft tissue release, joint mobilisation, taping, corrective exercise, strength and conditioning, clinical Pilates, or objective movement testing using VALD force plate technology — all available here at Longhurst.

We have a team of experienced physiotherapists at our Longhurst practice, with post-graduate training and further study across sports physiotherapy, osteoarthritis and persistent pain management, pelvic health, ACL rehabilitation, and clinical Pilates.
