What online physiotherapy from India means for New Zealanders
Online physiotherapy (tele-rehab) is a live video consultation in which a physiotherapist assesses your movement, prescribes a progressive exercise programme, and corrects your technique in real time — the exercise-based core of rehabilitation, delivered over a video call instead of a clinic table. Realign Rehab Clinic provides these sessions from Faridabad, India, led by Dr. Vaishali Suri (BPT, MIAP), for patients in New Zealandwho can't get timely or affordable physiotherapy locally.
Private physiotherapy in Auckland or Wellington typically costs NZ$75–130 per session. ACC softens that for injuries — but only injuries: if your back pain built up over years at a desk rather than arriving in one datable accident, you're outside ACC's lane and paying full freight for every visit.
Why patients in New Zealand book video rehab with us
That ACC line is the gap we fill. Gradual-onset problems — chronic low back pain, postural neck pain, tendinopathy that crept up over a running season — are precisely the conditions that respond to progressive exercise rehab, and precisely the ones New Zealanders pay fully out of pocket to treat. Weekly video sessions at Indian pricing make the full programme viable instead of the usual two visits and an exercise sheet.
New Zealand's Indian community is over a quarter of a million strong and growing fast, from Auckland's Sandringham to Wellington. Sessions run in English or Hindi — and if your parents back in India need in-person care, the same clinic treats them in Faridabad while you watch progress from Auckland.
Session times that work from New Zealand
New Zealand is 6.5–7.5 hours ahead of India. Our 8 AM–8 PM IST clinic day maps to roughly 2:30 PM–2:30 AM NZ time — meaning genuine NZ evening slots (7–10 PM NZST) fall comfortably in our staffed afternoon. After the kids are down is a perfectly good time for your rehab session.
| Your local time | Clinic time (IST) |
|---|---|
| 3:00 PM Auckland (NZST) | 8:30 AM IST |
| 7:00 PM Auckland (NZST) | 12:30 PM IST |
| 9:30 PM Auckland (NZST) | 3:00 PM IST |
Example slots only — clinic hours are Monday–Saturday, 8 AM–8 PM IST. WhatsApp us your city for the current week's availability in your local time.
What works over video — and what doesn't
We'd rather lose a booking than pretend everything translates to a screen. Video sessions are excellent for movement assessment, progressive exercise rehab, posture retraining, load management and pain education. They cannot deliver manual therapy, dry needling, cupping or electrotherapy — if your assessment shows you need hands-on care, we say so in the first session and help you find it locally. Conditions that respond well to video-guided rehab:
Online physiotherapy from New Zealand — common questions
Does ACC cover online physiotherapy from India?
No — ACC funds treatment with registered New Zealand providers, and only for injuries caused by accidents. Our service suits the other category: gradual-onset and chronic problems that ACC doesn't cover, where you'd be paying NZ$75–130 per local session yourself anyway.
What session times work from New Zealand?
Evenings, genuinely — 7–10 PM NZ time lands in our staffed afternoon hours. Afternoon NZ slots work too. WhatsApp +91 9818185589 with your city and we'll confirm times in NZST/NZDT.
What NZ conditions suit video physiotherapy best?
Chronic low back and neck pain, knee osteoarthritis, running-related tendinopathy, posture problems from desk work, and post-surgical exercise progression once your surgeon clears it. Acute injuries with a clear accident are usually better handled locally under ACC — we'll tell you that at assessment if it's your situation.
How do I pay from New Zealand?
International card payment or bank transfer, per session or as a discounted rehab block. Pricing is in Indian rupees — a month of weekly sessions typically costs less than one or two Auckland private visits. No lock-in contracts.
