What Sports & Spinal Physiotherapy does

Sports & Spinal Physiotherapy is a privately held, ACC-accredited physiotherapy and interdisciplinary rehabilitation practice headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, founded in 2004. It operates six clinics across Auckland — Westgate, two Henderson locations (Montel Avenue and Swanson Road), Remuera, North Shore (Constellation Drive), and Otahuhu — supplemented by telehealth appointments. The practice is led by Dr Daniel Harvey, a PhD-qualified, NZ-registered Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Specialist and the company's Principal/Director, and runs an interdisciplinary clinical team of approximately 35 staff spanning senior physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, vocational consultants, and administrators.

The core offering is musculoskeletal physiotherapy (assessment, manual therapy, acupuncture/dry needling, individualized exercise prescription, gym-based rehabilitation) delivered alongside occupational therapy, vocational rehabilitation, pain management, social rehabilitation, psychology (CBT, ACT, mindfulness), hydrotherapy, and ACC-funded specialist services. Technology is standard clinical practice; there is no proprietary platform, with the website built on Rocketspark and appointments routed through a third-party Gensolve booking system and an 0800 phone line. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, or proprietary data assets are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through unit-priced fee-for-service consultations (NZD $35–$90 standard, $60–$150 specialist), discounted rates for Community Services Card, SuperGold Card, and student holders, and the ACC Physiotherapy Specialist Services Contract under which eligible specialist referrals carry no patient co-payment. The customer base is split between ACC-funded clients (the primary segment) and private-pay individuals, with no disclosed enterprise customers, no external funding, and ownership concentrated in Dr Harvey as founding director.
