If you've been admiring our beautiful new piece of artwork in the waiting room (and we know many of you have..) head on over and check out Marlo Artistry. This was a custom piece that Morghann created for us and our clients to enjoy, and we absolutely love it. 🖤

No co-payment ACC covered physio

Welcome to Movement IQ, Niall.

Niall is a fourth-year physiotherapy student from the University of Otago, joining us at MIQ Palmerston North for the next 3 weeks for his clinical placement.

We learned through our own journeys that becoming an effective physio takes more than textbooks and lectures. It takes time with real people, real injuries, and the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment.

While Niall is with us, ACC appointments with him will have no co-payment (Available for ACC part-covered injuries only).

He’ll be working under the supervision and guidance of our experienced MIQ physiotherapists while gaining valuable hands-on experience.

For us, it’s also about giving back to the profession. Someone gave each of us the opportunity to learn and develop when we were students, now it’s our turn to do the same.

So, if you have an ACC-covered injury and are happy to support the next generation of physios, book in with Niall with no ACC co-payment during his placement.

You’ll have the support of the wider MIQ clinical team while helping a future physio gain the experience he needs to become a great clinician.

This week kicked off the start of a new adventure. Stepping into the physio role with the Manawatū Turbos for the 2026 season has reinforced something I've believed for a long time, injury prevention is injury prevention, no matter who you're working with, where you're working or what the job tasks are.

The fundamentals are the same.

- Build capacity before demand.

- Progressively increase workload, avoid sudden spikes.

- Focus on efficiency in movement rather than "perfect" technique.

- Prioritise recovery: sleep, nutrition, hydration and stress management.

- Prepare for the task with the appropriate primers.

- Manage workload and exposure through pacing, task variation and breaks.

- Act early on pain, stiffness and fatigue.

- Optimise the environment with good equipment, planning and communication.

- Train resilience by building tolerance to load, not avoiding it.

- Measure, monitor and reassess capacity regularly to guide injury prevention.

At Movement IQ, Ive spent a lot of time helping people move better, reduce injury risk, and stay doing what they love. That's the same philosophy I'll be bringing into the Turbos environment this season.

Really grateful for the opportunity, and looking forward to getting started.
