Endurance testing: where we find your baseline 👀

For long-term knee injuries, it’s not just about pain — it’s about what your body can actually handle.

Single leg squat.
Bridge.
Calf raises.
Side plank.
Movement analysis.

We spot the weak links early so we can build strength where it matters most.

Move better. Be more durable. 💥

How people expect physio to go… 👀

Let’s just say the Motus team does things a little differently.

We find the cause, not just the symptom, for results that actually last.

Catch it early. Recover faster. 💥

S*x should never hurt. Pain isn’t something to “push through” — it’s a message from your body that deserves to be heard.

If you’re experiencing pain, you’re not alone — and help is out there. 💬

Did you know we stock a wide range of knee braces to help support your recovery?

In some cases, ACC can fully or partially fund a knee brace for your injury, meaning you may not need to cover the full cost yourself.

If you’re recovering from a knee injury and want to know your options, chat to our team today!

A big welcome to Todd Astle who will be working with the team at Motus SportsHub

It is often stated that top level sport is all about the 'top two inches’, or ‘90% mental’, yet most of us don’t know where to turn to in order to create plans for developing the right mindset and one’s mental skills.
That’s why we’ve included qualified Mental Skills Coaches at Motus SportsHub to provide total care – body and mind.

Welcome to Mental Skills Coach Todd Astle. Todd is a proud Cantabrian and New Zealand Black Cap professional cricketer. Having faced his own fair share of challenges, triumphs and setbacks, both on and off the field, Todd has harnessed his experiences and learnings and aims to empower and encourage others to maximise their abilities through mental skills coaching.

If you’d like to develop strategies and skills to help you perform at your best every day, or help in overcoming setbacks following injuries, then feel free to get in contact with Todd by giving us a call at 03 9666 555.

Running is a beautiful way to get and keep fit. Some great words from a legend of competitive Ultra running to stop you getting stopped in your tracks.
