Axis Sports Medicine Specialists

Have been seeing Matt Farrimond since getting ACL reconstructive surgery over 2 years ago. Always been excellent service, always feel looked after and in the best hands possible with Matt and the rest of the team! Highly recommend coming here!

For concussion it's well worth coming here or to a place like this. The OTs and doctors understand concussion well and help support/plan your graduated return to activities without burning out your brain, whereas many medical professionals and workplaces don't understand concussion or think you are just making it up.nSome of the Physio's are very good, vestibular for balance and eye effects very good set up. Although my vestibular symptoms seemed to resolve itself over time. Neck physio is important with concussion but it took a while to get that and seemed that it wasn't normally supplied apparently with their acc contract. Could have started better.nThe biggest problems with Axis with concussion is they don't provide the ACC Stay at work program or Training for Independence. So therefore you need another OT to deal with your workplace and set hours and then after a period of time, months, have to find another provider.nAlso they are very booked out, booking system is archaic involving long periods on the phone and under staffed customer service desk. Although it seemed to improve while there. They need online booking.nTakes a long time to start treatment from referral, like a month to start with OT and then a long time to see a doctor, another month perhaps.nI went to active plus after the service ended who have also been quite good and may be a better option if you are at work since they provide everything ACC require and Physio's there are excellent for neck treatment. They also have online booking. It could be that both is a good option.

Was referred to Tony Edwards in St Johns by my physio for shoulder pain and loss of mobility which only seemed to be getting worse. Tony diagnosed as frozen shoulder within a few minutes and promptly had me on a rehab plan, after a few weeks I was pain free and recovering. Excellent professional, friendly specialists.

A thoroughly organised and professional place. Everything you need is there and the receptionists for Orthopaedic and Radiology sections are excellent. Tony Edwards is a very knowledgeable and thorough Physician with excellent listening skills. He went into great detail explaining my injury and what could be done about it. He was friendly, down to earth and didn't have that rarefied attitude you sometimes find with specialists.

Tyler is amazing!! 10000% recommend her and Axis St Johns to anyone looking at getting the right treatment. I jumped from 2 other physiotherapy clinics because I wasn’t satisfied with my recovery, but I have now found my place and am very happy and hopeful of my recovery!! Thank you team
