The Recovery Project – Cromwell’s home for pain relief, rehab, and strength.
We combine osteopathy, acupuncture, and rehab-based personal training to support you through injury recovery and long-term health. Serving Cromwell, Queenstown, Wanaka, and the wider Central Otago region.

Do I need a referral?
No referral needed—book directly online.

Do you accept ACC?
Yes, we’re an ACC-registered clinic. We can lodge new claims or treat under an existing one. Some services (like personal training) are not covered by ACC, but we’ll talk you through what’s included.

Where are you based?
We’re in Cromwell, but we work with people from Queenstown, Wanaka, and surrounds.

What is osteopathy?
Hands-on treatment focused on the whole body. We help improve mobility, reduce pain, and get to the root cause—not just the symptoms.

Common issues we treat:

Back pain, sciatica

Hip, neck, and shoulder pain

Headaches, migraines

Postural tension

Sports injuries

What to expect:
Your first session includes a full assessment, hands-on treatment (if suitable), and a clear plan moving forward—often with rehab included.

What’s the difference?
Acupuncture is based on Chinese medicine principles. Dry needling targets tight muscles and trigger points. We often use both depending on your needs.

Helpful for:

Muscle tension and knots

Chronic pain

Migraines, stress, and sleep issues

Sports recovery

Is it painful?
Not usually—most people find it relaxing. We’ll guide you through it gently and check in throughout.

Do I need to be injured to train here?
Nope. We work with anyone wanting to build strength, move better, or feel more confident in their body.

Services include:

1:1 strength & rehab sessions

12-week programs

Remote/home-based options

Guidance from rehab professionals (not just PTs)

Perfect for:

Long-term back or hip pain

Post-injury strength building

Anyone wanting long-term change—not quick fixes

We’re here to help you take the next step—whether it’s hands-on treatment, acupuncture, or building confidence through strength training.
