IMPORTANT ACC CHANGES FOR GOOD
📣 From October 1st 2022, ACC will be covering some birth injuries 👏
What does this mean?
Women who give birth from 1 October will have some ACC cover to see a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist (such as myself 😉) for the following injuries:
👶 Pelvic Organ Prolapse: anterior wall (cystocele), posterior wall (rectocele), or uterine
👶 Obstetric a**l sphincter injury tears, or tears to the perineum, l***a, va**na, v***a, cl****is, cervix, re**um, a**s, or urethra
👶 Levator ani avulsion
👶 Coccyx fracture
👶 P***c rami fracture
👶 Pelvic joint damage from Obstetric trauma
Please share this wonderful news with the women in your life so we can give them the care they deserve!!
To book an appointment, head to tahealth.co.nz and click on the “Physio” tab. There is a "Book Now" button. For birth related injuries choose physio Jamie Thomas.
Nb: for any physios out there who need a bit of help in this area, I am available for mentoring!
