Even before the impact of COVID-19, there has been a growing consumer demand for access to video-consultation services provided by Physiotherapists. Given the COVID-19 virus’ impact, we are discounting our standard fees for Telehealth appointments to ensure our clients don’t fall behind in their treatment.

To access this service, you will simply need a computer or smart device with an internet connection and camera. We will send you a text message with a secure ID login and access to a private video consultation with your preferred Physio. We’re here to help you on your journey to recovery to get you moving again, whether that be in a practice, or via video if you can’t get to a practice.

Our practice boasts state of the art facilities including a fully equipped functional gym, a group exercise studio, and spacious and private treatment rooms. We are also fortunate to have a team of highly skilled and passionate physios, chiropractors, pilates intructors, exercise specialists, massage therapists and support staff. 

When you visit our practice, we want you to feel completely at ease and confident that you are in the right place. Our philosophy is simple… deliver ‘great clinical outcomes with exceptional customer service’.

We recognise that every client is unique and deserves a tailored holistic solution to achieve optimal results. To this end, we offer three different treatment pathways in line with your time, lifestyle, and budget. We call these pathways GET Better, STAY Better or BE Better – we will work with you to choose the right path for YOU.

We provide physiotherapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, clinical pilates and exercise/rehab services to Upper Hutt Central and surrounding suburbs. We have one-on-one and semi-private classes and because our services are delivered by physiotherapists can claim them on private health insurance.

A "quick-fix" for your pain or injury might sound good, but over time is proven to be inconvenient, costly and ineffective in comparison to taking preventative measures. Our unique clinical approach, Results4Life®, keeps you on track towards optimal lifelong physical health.

We are committed to your satisfaction and delivering the very best in physiotherapy care, customer service and outcomes. If you are not 100% satisfied with your experience at Motion Health, we will refund your money and deliver your next session free. For full terms and conditions click here

Whether you have back pain, neck pain, flexibility or mobility issues, our physios at Back In Motion can help resolve your pain and improve the quality of your life.  Find out why physiotherapy is a GP's most recommended health professional today.

You don’t need a GP's referral to see a physio, and often we'll work as part of a team to plan and manage treatment for your specific condition or injury.

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.

Shockwave therapy – also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) – is a non-invasive therapy that uses low-frequency, acoustic shockwaves generated via a handheld device that kick starts the body’s natural healing response in tissue that may not have responded to medication, rest or other therapies.  

If you have tried rest, medications, other therapies or even steroid injections to overcome the  injury, and are now considering surgery, then Shockwave Therapy could be a good option for you.

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.

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen other chiros, acupuncturists and physios to mediate the issues in my back…. Haresh actually fixed the issues underneath instead of treating the symptoms. It’s almost like he wanted me to get better :)

Great to hear Jessica, thank you for your review!

Fantastic experience: YOU SHOULD BOOK HERE! honestly, I’m such a happy client right now. Joanne has been my physio therapist since I was 12 years old and she’s been amazing with helping me with ALL my injury recoveries. From Jo’s referral I was booked in with Jarrid. I’m SO happy with my first session that I can’t wait for my next. session included dry needling and massaging muscles around my injury to relax it. I feel confident in my rehabilitation working with motion health Upper Hutt. Great prices Great facilities Great services I’m really happy and look forward to recommending motion health to friends and family

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best chiropractor, physio and all-round rehab provider I have been to. The team take the time to get to the underlying reasons for injuries and issues to resolve the root cause of problems. The team are friendly and genuinely care about getting you back to full health

Fantastic experience: Excellent treatments that fixed my lower back! After a friend recommended Srujana I made an appointment and never looked back! Initially I only noticed a small improvement after the first session but after having back pain for almost a whole year was happy with any improvement. Fast forward to week 4/ treatment 4 and I’m moving about freely and easily. It’s amazing to think that only a month ago I was in pain every time I got up from a seated position or vice versa! Thank you Srujana.

Motion Health Upper Hutt

Fantastic experience: Awesome Chiro! Ive been to a number of Chiros and most just do a quick click/crack and send you on your way. Going here and seeing Dr Haresh Patel has been great. He takes a more holistic view, looking at total body alignment and function of muscles etc, not just one area. After 1 session i was already 95% pain free and staright!

Motion Health Upper Hutt

Thanks for the review Wayne for our chiro Haresh, glad he's helped you a lot!

Fantastic experience: Amazing service, they managed to dramatically reduce the swelling on a badly sprained ankle in just a few treatments. Allow plenty of time as you may receive multiple types of treatment. Highly recommended

Mark Le Moray 5 years ago

Negative experience: Booking was for 40 min. Got there and they ran late. Only spend 20 there not 40. And basically did nothing for me. It sounded that the lady was dealing with 2 customers at a time. Very disappointing. Will not recommend them.
