Sports injury care on Auckland's North Shore

Sports injuries require fast, expert treatment to prevent acute injuries from becoming chronic problems. At Premier Wellness on Auckland's North Shore, our ACC-registered practitioners treat the full spectrum of sports injuries — from muscle tears and ligament sprains to shoulder impingement, knee injuries and ankle problems — using a multidisciplinary approach that accelerates recovery and reduces re-injury risk.

All qualifying sports injuries are ACC-funded at Premier Wellness. Our practitioners can lodge an ACC claim at your first appointment — including for injuries sustained during training, competition, school sport or recreational activity. No GP visit required.

We treat North Shore athletes from across the region — from Albany, Takapuna and Birkenhead to Browns Bay, Devonport and the Hibiscus Coast. Whether you are a weekend warrior, school athlete, recreational runner or competitive sportsperson, our team understands sports-specific biomechanics and recovery demands.

Six ways we treat sports injuries

Our multidisciplinary team uses six evidence-based modalities and can combine them for faster, more lasting results.

🦴

Osteopathy

Sports osteopathy addresses the biomechanical imbalances that cause injury and the structural restrictions that impair recovery. Our North Shore osteopaths assess the whole kinetic chain — not just the site of injury — to identify and treat the underlying movement dysfunctions that led to the injury.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture accelerates sports injury recovery by reducing local inflammation, increasing blood flow to injured tissue and activating the body's natural healing response. Particularly effective for tendon injuries, muscle tears and nerve-related sports pain that is slow to resolve with manual therapy alone.

Massage Therapy

Sports massage and deep tissue work is integral to sports injury recovery — breaking down scar tissue, restoring muscle length and reducing the compensatory tension patterns that develop around an injured area. Pre-competition massage also reduces injury risk for regular athletes.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is central to sports injury rehabilitation — progressive loading, strength restoration, movement pattern correction and return-to-sport programming. Our physiotherapy approach is sport-specific, ensuring you return to your activity at full capacity with reduced re-injury risk.

Functional Medicine

For athletes with recurring injuries, slow healing or systemic inflammation, functional medicine investigates the underlying factors — gut health, micronutrient status, hormonal balance and inflammatory load — that impair recovery and increase injury susceptibility.

Nutrition

Sports nutrition supports injury recovery through targeted anti-inflammatory protocols, protein timing for tissue repair, and micronutrient optimisation. Our nutritionists develop sports-specific nutritional plans that support both recovery and performance.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before your first appointment at our Glenfield or Orewa clinic.

Is my sports injury covered by ACC?
Most sports injuries qualify for ACC cover — including injuries sustained during training, competition, recreational sport and school sport. Premier Wellness is ACC registered for osteopathy, physiotherapy, acupuncture and massage. Our practitioners assess your injury and lodge a new ACC claim at your first appointment. No GP visit required.
How quickly can I get an appointment for a sports injury?
We offer same-week appointments at both our Glenfield and Orewa clinics. For acute sports injuries we recommend calling us directly on 09 444 3231 as we often have short-notice availability. The Glenfield clinic opens at 7am — before training appointments available.
How long will my sports injury take to recover?
Recovery time depends on the injury type and severity. Minor muscle strains typically recover within 2–4 weeks with treatment. Ligament sprains take 4–8 weeks. More complex injuries such as rotator cuff tears or significant knee injuries may require 3–6 months of progressive rehabilitation. Your practitioner will give a realistic recovery timeline at your first appointment.
Can you help me return to sport faster?
Yes. Our multidisciplinary approach — combining osteopathy, physiotherapy, massage and acupuncture — accelerates recovery at every stage. We use progressive return-to-sport protocols that reduce the risk of re-injury while getting you back to full training and competition as quickly as safely possible.
