25 years of clinical practice, applied to your injury.
Aziz Bharuchi founded Motion Physio to deliver physiotherapy that treats the whole movement problem, not just the sore spot.
Meet Aziz Bharuchi
Aziz is a New Zealand physiotherapist with over 25 years in practice, treating a wide variety of injuries for everyone from elite sports teams to the general public.
He has travelled extensively with rugby and football teams, looking after both club and international sides. That work covers the full spectrum - acute and chronic injuries, biomechanics, strength training and rehabilitation - and it is the same standard of care he brings to every patient who walks into the clinic.
Alongside his New Zealand practice, Aziz spent two years in Dubai in sports medicine at Diversified Integrated Sports Clinic. Whether at home or abroad, he has always worked in a team environment alongside sports physicians, chiropractors and acupuncturists - an approach that keeps complex cases moving rather than stalling.
He believes that to treat an injury effectively you must also identify the underlying cause. That is taken into account when assessing every injury and condition, so rehabilitation is completed with a decreased risk of re-injury. His style is strongly hands-on: work out the core issue, use his hands to settle it, then progress to exercise prescription.
Outside the clinic Aziz is a keen road cyclist and a former footballer, with his own fair share of injuries and surgical repairs behind him - which makes it a good deal easier to understand what his clients are going through.
"Recovery is not just the absence of pain. It is the capacity to do the thing you were doing before, without worrying about it."

How we work
Find the underlying cause
An injury is only treated properly once the reason it happened is identified. That is factored into every assessment so rehab ends with a lower risk of re-injury.
Hands on, then load
Manual therapy relieves pain and restores movement quickly. Progressive exercise prescription is what keeps it from coming back.
Measure the progress
Range, strength and functional tests are re-checked so improvement is objective, not just how you feel on the day.
Fit the plan to your life
Programmes are short, specific and built around your work, training and time - because a plan you skip does nothing.
The clinic
Motion Physio operates from a quiet, well-equipped space with private treatment rooms and room to actually rehearse the movements you need to get back to - lifting, running, kicking, cycling.
Appointments run to time, you see Aziz every visit, and you leave with your programme written down.
