For NZ Physiotherapy Clinics

The AI Receptionist for NZ Physiotherapy Clinics

You're hands-on with patients all day while new bookings, ACC questions and reschedules ring unanswered. AlwaysAnswer keeps your diary full without interrupting a single treatment.

Physiotherapy is a hands-on profession, literally. Every treatment hour is an hour the phone can't be answered, and the calls coming in are the lifeblood of the clinic: someone in acute pain wanting today, an ACC referral, a reschedule that becomes a no-show if it can't get through.

Patients in pain have low patience by definition. The clinic that answers and offers a same-week slot wins the patient, and the course of treatments that follows.

The problem every day looks like

In treatments all day

Solo physios and small clinics physically cannot answer during sessions, which is most of the working day.

Pain doesn't wait

Acute-pain callers book the first clinic that answers with a near-term slot. Voicemail sends them elsewhere.

ACC questions need answers

'Do I need a referral?' 'Is it covered?' Simple questions that lose patients when nobody picks up.

Reschedules become no-shows

Patients who can't get through to move a session often just skip it, an empty slot you could have refilled.

An acute back, booked mid-session

1
10:15am, a caller woke with acute lower-back pain and wants to be seen today. You're mid-treatment.
2
Your AI answers warmly, captures the injury, onset and whether it's ACC-related, and answers the coverage basics per your rules.
3
It finds today's 3:40pm cancellation slot and books them in, with intake details captured.
4
SMS confirmation to the patient with your address and what to bring; booking lands in your diary with notes.
5
Your hands never left the patient on the table, and the cancellation slot earns instead of sitting empty.
