Kirsten Davie: Physiotherapy New Zealand President on an NZ Initiative report on ACC
Published 9 hours ago
Description
A reminder physiotherapy can be an important step in getting back to work after injuries - following revelations some people might be missing out.
A New Zealand Initiative report shows the Accident Compensation Corporation automatically marks a person as "returned to work" - five weeks after their last payment.
This comes after its claims pool stopped growing in April, after once increasing 15-percent annually.
Physiotherapy New Zealand President Kirsten Davie told Ryan Bridge some injuries need urgent attention.
She says that's where physiotherapy needs to step in and be involved, to help people get back to work.
