Or should I say getting something outta ACC !
I tore my ACL Jan 2012, had surgery, still recovering, and have managed to get ACC to fund a knee brace for me :D
Just thought I'd post this up to let people know IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!
I approached my surgeon asking for a brace for when I can get back into riding, all he had to do was fill out an ACC form with his details/ sign it bla bla bla. He sent this to me, and I took it to an Orthotist (Welly area I'd HIGHLY recommend Des Nicholson at Orthopro www.orthopro.co.nz, hes all about riding too). Des then forwarded the form and application to ACC, who approved it, and Des paid a visit to me at work to try a couple of braces, and just delivered me one today WOOO EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT!
Carbon firbe knee brace, with amazing support. Can't wait to use it.
So if you are recovering from an injury - THERE IS HOPE!
