Urban Athlete

Urban Athlete There are hundreds of physios out there but how do you know you’ve landed a good one? Giving physi WHY CHOOSE US?

Giving physio treatment is easy- actually getting to the root of the problem and getting someone truly better is a tad more complicated. That’s where experience and clinical reasoning comes in- and we’ve got years and years of it. Anyone can push on the sore bit, but why you’re doing it and working out why it’s sore in the first place- well, that’s where we come in. Don’t be fooled by our name ‘Urban athlete’ (although we thought it was quite ironic)- you don’t have be an ‘athlete’ or even ‘urban’ for that matter as we’ve been providing expert diagnosis and treatment for all manner of injuries to anyone and everyone from the pro’s, the CEO’s, right down to the lows (you’re not low really) all with the same care and dedication. We may have a few letters after our names but we like to keep things simple, simple descriptions of your injury and simply how we are going to fix it. We like a bit of banter too, to us it’s also about the whole experience while we are getting you better, that’s why we have the best space in town and thrive on a bit of chit chat. I reckon we can even talk you better- open and clear communication is where it’s at, easy. We’ll describe things in a language that everyone can understand, not just fancy medical terms (unless you really want a technical name dropping diagnosis to show off to your friends and colleagues- well we do like to be indulged every now and then…)
We’re not just a one trick pony either and provide a smorgasbord of Physiotherapy related services including; sports podiatry services, massage, nutrition, running assessment, work station ergonomics/seminars, and have close links to our preferred sports Dr’s and specialist surgeons.

🦵 Another ACL Patient Joins the Cross Bracing Protocol!

We’re thrilled to introduce another patient into the Cross Bracing Protocol (CBP) — a structured, early-intervention method designed to support natural ACL healing.

After the success of Patient 7, whose MRI showed ligament continuity at 3 months without surgery, interest in the protocol has continued to grow. With improved fast-tracked access to specialists, we’re helping suitable patients enter the protocol when it matters most — early.

Curious about how the protocol works or whether you're a candidate?
👉 Read more here: https://www.urbanathlete.co.nz/blog/another-acl-patient-joins-the-cross-bracing-protocol

Thinking about your options after an ACL rupture? We’re here to talk through the best pathway for your goals — whether that’s bracing, rehab-first, or surgical preparation.
