Located in central Wellington, near the old bank arcade and next to the Unichem Pharmacy we are easily accessible in the heart of Wellington CBD. Motion Health Lambton Quay offers expert physiotherapy services, and also have onsite two specialist Doctors in Musculoskeletal Medicine.
We pride ourselves on listening to clients, identifying their goals, assessing them and diagnosing them. We work in conjunction with a sports doctor to develop a collaborative approach to optimize patient care.
Our physios use the latest in physiotherapy technology to ensure you receive the best care and develop lifelong optimal health. These technologies include:
We offer individual and small group clinical Pilates classes taught by qualified professionals and physiotherapists. Unlike group classes at a gym, our approach to Pilates is clinically proven and specifically tailored to your needs. These tailored exercises target problem areas ensuring greater results and minimising the risk of injury re-aggravation.
Whether you have back pain, neck pain or other musculoskeletal injuries, dry needling with acupuncture needles can be an effective part of your treatment plan.
Dry needling can help reduce muscle tension and pain levels and trigger a healing response in injured tissues within the body. As opposed to acupuncture, dry needling works directly on the injured body part, not meridian or energy flows.
Whether you have lower back pain, neck pain or a shoulder injury, exercise rehabilitation can help. Our exercise programs can help with increasing fitness, weight loss, injury rehabilitation, endurance training or strengthening, in a safe way that minimises risk of injury.
Our qualified staff use the latest clinical research and physio equipment to develop a personal exercise plan to help you improve flexibility, mobility, and strength.

Motion Health Lambton Quay: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I’ve had pain when walking for over two years due to planta fasciitis, which was triggered by an ankle injury. I had almost given up hope of any improvement but after a series of shockwave therapy sessions with Priyesh I can walk with no pain. Massive improvement to my quality of life and I always found the staff very caring and helpful.
Thanks for your kind words Katharine! We’re so happy to hear that the shockwave therapy has helped you walk pain-free after such a long time. It’s great to know that our team could make a difference in your recovery. Wishing you all the best and continued pain-free walks!
Fantastic experience: Priyesh is amazing and a miracle worker. I saw him for shockwave treatment on a hamstring tendon injury that just would not heal. I had had 3 months of pyhsio and rehab and was just stuck and experiencing ongoing soreness throughout the day. After my 3rd shockwave treatment I saw real progress and then had total faith in Priyesh's ability to completely heal my pain which he did. I am back to my normal self and I cannot thank him enough. Priyesh is kind and understanding and again a miracle worker. Thank you so much Priyesh. If you are experiencing tendon soreness or pain that you just cannot get on top of which is what I was experiencing then give shockwave treatment a go it really did help me.
Thanks you so much for your wonderful review Jenny! We’re thrilled to hear about your experience with Priyesh and the shockwave treatment. It’s inspiring to know you’re back to your normal self after struggling with the injury. Best of luck for the next marathon!
Fantastic experience: I found Motion Health and Priyesh after 12 months of conservative physiotherapy for achilles tendinopathy. I really needed a second opinion on treatment and started shockwave therapy. I've made more progress getting back into being able to hike and hunt in the last 4 weeks compared to 12 months of standard physio thanks to Priyesh and shockwave. If you're finding you're hitting a wall with your current physio approach get in touch with them even just for a second opinion. Dan
Thanks for the kind words Dan! Stoked that things are on the mend, keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: I suffered a sports injury at training and ended up with very limited mobility and flexibility in my right foot. After several shockwave therapy sessions with Priyesh I noticed a significant improvement and am now back to my usual training schedule.
Thanks for the kind words Anthony, glad to hear you’re back training!☺️
Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly, spent time getting to understand the issue
Thanks for the kind words Grant, glad we could help!
Fantastic experience: Priyesh was instrumental in getting my shoulder back to full health.
Thank you , glad to hear Priyesh helped getting you recovered, good luck for the rest of the season!
Fantastic experience: I first discovered Motion Health around 2019 when I was struggling for months with achilles tendinopathy. I discovered an alternative treatment called shockwave and that it was available to me from Motion Heath on Lambton. With low expectations I made an appointment with Priyesh who was excellent. He talked me through the treatment and was optimistic without creating unrealistic expectations. I had 3 sessions and the results were hard to believe, but I was back playing football in a month pain free. Fast forward to 2024 I made an appointment again with Priyesh for my other achilles and to my delight the price of Shockwave was cut in half. I had 5 sessions and again was as good as new! Can't recommend Motion Health and Priyesh enough.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been consulting with Priyesh for several weeks now, and he’s been instrumental in helping me heal from some injuries I’ve been grappling with. Priyesh is extremely knowledgeable and exudes confidence in his field. His patience is commendable, and he’s committed to your recovery, rather than just making a quick buck. It’s immediately apparent that he takes his profession very seriously and is eager to see his patients reap positive results from their sessions with him. Above all, he’s honest and generous.
Fantastic experience: Priyesh one of the physiotherapists here is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He goes the extra mile for you and helped me not only recover from an ankle injury but return stronger. I can 100% recommend Priyesh and the team here.
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic experience with Priyesh :) He was very knowledgeable and attentive - helped with my recovery through expert advice. Treatment plan worked wonders. Shot Priyesh for getting my shoulder back to 100% and the yarns over Bollywood :)
Thank you for your kind words Polonga! We’re glad Priyesh was able to get you sorted, keep up the great work and the taste in music! :)
Fantastic experience: Had missed placed hips and recovering from a torn ACL & MC. Can now walk with out knee and back pain. Love there work

Fantastic experience: I have had an amazing and very easy experience with motion health! haresh had been my chiropractor for a few months and has helped me assess and understand problems that i’ve been struggling with for years. i’ve started to feel so much better through the sessions as well as through the take home exercises which I can do on my own. i’m so grateful to have found a way to deal with these issues and begin to feel centred again!! 10/10 !!!!
Thank you for your review Caitlyn! we are glad your doing well!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr Priyesh Patel who is a senior Physiotherapist at Motion Health lambton Quay for my Planter faciatis . I was in chronic pain in my heel for a very long time . I had shockwave therapy from other clinics in wellington, wouldn’t want to name them, but not getting the results inspite of many appointments. When I first went and saw Dr Priyesh, he was ready to listen to my problem and explained me very well how he would treat me and also showed me some stretches to strengthen my calf muscles. He is a very clever , friendly and excellent in his job and offers extremely great customer service. Anyone dealing with feet problems,I would highly recommend Dr Priyesh at Motion Health. Thankyou, Ankur Vyas.
Thank you for wonderful review Ankur! Great to see Priyesh helping you with your pain, using his range of treatment modalities :)
Fantastic experience: Motion health physio in lambton quay has been one of the best physio clinics that I have been to so far. I was having a shoulder problem and was quite in pain for the past 5 years. I had been to a couple of physios in the city but it was not very effective.Haresh has a good sense of humor and has been friendly with his Painless chiro adjustments and exactly knows how to address the problem. Priyesh is a very warm person and has been extremely friendly through out trying to work with my shoulder pain with shockwave/needling/physio exercises and I have been able to finally hit the gym . Fantastic place and highly recommended!!
Thank you for your review Arvind! Glad both of our physio and chiro got you to achieve your goals while working together! :)
Fantastic experience: I was struggling with an ankle sprain which was keeping me out of sports and the gym. Before going to physio I had tried following basic exercises and advice which I had found online but wasn't making much progress and was starting to get a bit worried. Then in just one session with Priyesh he was able to tell me exactly what was injured, what the rehab process would look like and how long it would take. This made everything much clearer and now I'm back in the gym with no issues!
Thank you for your review Carissa, glad to hear Priyesh has helped you a lot with your ankle sprain! :)
Fantastic experience: Priyesh gets me back up and running. When I feel old and sore and that my body’s on a downhill slide, Priyesh fixes me
Great hear you’re doing well Chris!
Fantastic experience: I come on here to Dr. Haresh for my lower back , feeling good after treatment, I will Highly recommend Thank you so much Dr Haresh
Thank you Ujjwal!
Fantastic experience: Priyesh Patel Knows his stuff and will sort you out. Been for multiple injures over the last year and have fully recovered for all. Highly recommend
Thank you Patrick! We are delighted to hear Priyesh has supported you through your injuries.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing dr Haresh for foot pain I have been struggling with for a while. I have seen many people about my pain and no one has been able to help me apart from dr Haresh. He explains what he is doing in a clear way and has been very helpful. I couldn’t recommend any more! :)
Thanks Katherine! Glad our Chiro Haresh helped you!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Priyesh for about a month to treat my knee pain and I am very satisfied with the results. He uses lots of different techniques (including acupuncture) and gives good advices for at home strengthening exercises. Thanks to his valuable treatment I have been able to keep playing volleyball at a high level. I would definitely recommend Priyesh (as I have been doing to my volleyball mates)!!
Thank you Saulo! We are glad Priyesh has been helped you heaps and with Volleyball!
Fantastic experience: I have Haresh work on me and have been amazed already at the results. He has a fantastic manner and is also very patient and thorough explaining the reason for everything he does. I cannot speak highly enough and have already recommended him to my closest friends. A very knowledgeable man and I have been very impressed.
Thank you for review! we are happy you’re are doing well!
Fantastic experience: Have had the pleasure of seeing Dr Haresh the past 6 weeks after having a high impact fall and severe TBI in November 2020. I have reached many milestones in my recovery and rehabilitation in just a short with haresh, and could not recommend him more. He is so passionate about his work and patients and truely a master of his craft. My TBI symptoms have subsided and my chronic neck, back and hip pain have been alleviated improving my quality of life and allowed me to carry out everyday tasks. I completely trust haresh and feel safe in knowing I am in good hands!
Glad to hear Bhavini! Let’s keep on improving your quality of life.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Stu helped me so much! I just had my lower back surgery, and feeling great. I suffered since March last year. I got injured at work and fired the next day. I was a truck driver at Interislander. Boss used covid 19 to fire me. Only Dr. Stu supported me, and helped me. Acc and others went above and beyond in order not to help. I paid $44k for my surgery. Lucky I managed to cash out kiwisaver, and givealittle.co.nz helped too. It was extremely hard time since injury until yesterday. I was in terrible pain 24/7. Surgeon said that spinal disk was absolutely destroyed. Surgeon removed all of the damaged parts. They installed implant. I feel amazing. I feel like I got new body. My right leg can feel again. And I can walk and sit. It's amazing! Crushed disk pain was times more than pain after surgery! I went thru hell! As soon as I woke up after surgery - I felt so much better! I am very grateful to Motion Health and Dr Stu for helping me and supporting me. Thank you very much :)
Great to hear Dr.Stu was supportive and got you through :) Thank you
Fantastic experience: I know Priyesh to be professional, friendly and, most importantly, to heal - pre and post knee replacement surgery and shoulder bursitis. Priyesh is now my 'go to' physiotherapist.
Fantastic news, we are happy you benefited from Priyesh's work!
Fantastic experience: Been coming to Motion Health for 2 months now since I injured my back. I can happily say I’m back to 100% now. The staff are so friendly and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Thank you Chetan. Great to hear your doing well!
Fantastic experience: Been seeing Haresh for about 3 weeks now and am feeling much better. Has has a really good approach, is very personable and knows his stuff.
Thank you Richard! great to hear you're doing better :)
Fantastic experience: Haresh is great. Really personable and knows his stuff! Come out of his appointments feeling 1000% better every time!
Glad your feeling 1000% better each time by our chiropractor! Thank you William
Fantastic experience: Haresh is an incredible chiropractor. Due to work Ive had pain in my lower back for nearly a year. It only took 2 sessions to get me back in shape. 10/10 would recommend!!
Amazing! Glad you're doing well :)
Fantastic experience: I used to have chronic neck pain, which was limiting my movement and my quality of life. I saw a physio called Priyesh, who was very personable, and he fixed my issue with exercises and manual techniques and it was apparently due to poor posture! Would highly recommend!
Glad Priyesh could help you when in need! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this practice. Haresh is highly competent, professional and personable chiropractor. Sorted out my back issues and had me back on my feet in no time. The follow up appointments are welcome and keep me in shape. Great service.
Great to hear Eledir! :) Thank you for your kind feedback.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience at Motion Health. Priyesh has been super helpful and super knowledgeable. He's been instrumental in helping me through my injury. All members of staff have been friendly and helpful. Thank you Motion Health!
Thank you for your kind words! :)
Fantastic experience: Recently found this clinic while being in urgent need after suffering a pinched sciatic nerve, got given an appointment within a few hours. Found haresh to be very friendly, professional and definitely knows his stuff. He had me walking out in alot less pain within one appointment. Have just had my 3rd appointment and am extremely impressed by his results and highly recommend him.!!!
Thank you for your kind words Alastair, glad our chiropractor Haresh, could help you with your injury quickly!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Motion Health for many years now and have seen Stu, Haresh and Priyesh and I highly recommend them. The whole team are always so friendly, including the lovely ladies on reception who I love to have a chit chat to while waiting. Keep up the awesome work!!!!!
Thank you for your feedback :) will keep it up for sure!
Fantastic experience: Haresh has dealt with my concussion and neck pain. Would 100% recommend him. My concussion recovery was made so much easier with his skills and expertise.
Great to hear you recovered well after your concussion by our chiropractor Haresh!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. I’ve had sore archilies tendons for months and was put onto shock wave therapy. After 3 sessions, I am up and running and feeling better than I have for months. Started playing hockey again also.
We are glad you enjoyed our physio using shockwave therapy to help you back on your feet. All the best with hockey!
Fantastic experience: I first visited Haresh a few weeks ago with a lot of back pain and very stiff, within 3 sessions I felt great, mobile and in no more pain He explained clearly how everything works and the causes of my pain. Given me a light stretch and workout plan to help strengthen up again and prevent any further problems, would highly recommend!
Thank you for your feedback :) Great to hear you're back in action again!
Fantastic experience: great staff and service, I have been seeing Haresh (chiro) for a couple of months now for an injury I sustained a couple years ago and he has been amazing. Haresh puts our needs as a top priority and gets things sorted out for the best results possible even when I didn't know if it was possible. I find he is also really helpful in explaining techniques that help with the injury while being considerate to what I can or cant do. Overall would give the service here 10/5 because I have progressed soo much over such little time. My partner has also been here and seen Priyesh (physio) and found that just by seeing him once for an injury to his wrist that he understood his injury better and knew what he needed to do both at work and at home to help it heal faster. My partner and I both felt really comfortable upon arrival, by the whole team (Thank you Ilse (reception), Janine (reception) Haresh (chiro) and Priyesh (physio) for your great services)
Great to hear you and your partner highly benefited from both our chiropractor and physio :) and the services team at motion health! Always here to help
Fantastic experience: Haresh knows his trade, communicates well, and has a real conviction in his work. I have been seeing Haresh for a month, and although I’m likely a 5 year project I feel I’m making great progress under his guide. Highly recommend as a alternative or complimentary rehab.
Thank you Dharmesh, keep up the hard work you have been putting in as well! Hopefully working together we can speed up the process :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Haresh for over two months now, and he’s the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. He focuses on making progress which will last by giving exercises rather than just working on short term relief. I highly recommend both Haresh and the practice as a whole, they are always friendly and accommodating. Thank you!
Great to hear Sam! Glad you're doing well :)
Fantastic experience: I've seen a lot of body mechanics over the years so it means something when I say I'm impressed with Jono's physiotherapy skills. Its not just that he delivers effective treatment, he also gets the psychological stuff so that I actually do the exercises between times.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Really good experience with the staff and physio. Helped me both with managing my current problems but also how to mitigate any longer term future risks. Really pleasant and superb at their job!
Thank you!
