Urban Athlete

Really good service. I went with a shoulder injury from a biking accident. The physio was very knowledgeable and solved the issue in a very good way. Really knowledgeable people and good service.

Had an ongoing lower back problem due to office work and the gym. Lindsey has been amazing; my back feels the best it has felt in 2+ years. I would highly recommend Lindsey and the team at Urban Athlete.

I had a great experience at Urban Athlete. When I injured my shoulder, they replied quickly, and I got an appointment within the next few days. They are welcoming and professional, follow up with you and give you exercises to do at home to speed up your recovery. I highly recommend them. Plus, they are in the city, which is highly convenient, and you get a free ACC consult if you refer a friend!

I have a nagging hip problem, and the team at Urban Athlete was a real game-changer. My physiotherapist, Jen, was amazing. She not only knew her stuff but also made sure I understood everything. Jen tailored my treatment plan to work around my current routine, which was a massive relief. Her approach not only addressed my hip issue but also boosted my confidence in the recovery process. I highly recommend Urban Athlete if you need help with any physical issues. Thanks to Jen for making me feel better and more confident in my hip's recovery!

Urban Athlete have been great at getting me all fixed up and running again when I've hurt myself. I first came in 2021 when I had only just started running, and had done too much too soon and really hurt my IT bands. Paul was fantastic and encouraging, even though I was such a beginner and sooooo slow and still quite chunky he still treated me like a "real" runner, he gave me some good strength and conditioning exercises that got me up and running again (literally!) and helped to foster my growing love of the sport. And then in Feb 2023, after I had completely destroyed my legs doing the Tarawera 102km, and was scared I might have done permanent damage and never run again as I felt so crippled! I came back and saw Jamie. Jamie was great, super helpful and encouraging and full of good advice which helped me to improve my strength tremendously - and got my confidence back up too. I was back up to 80-100km weekly running within a couple of months and haven't had any injuries since. Even aside from the physios and their expertise, the receptionist is always really friendly and welcoming, even the newsletters/ emails are well worth reading as they are always full of excellent advice re running, training, strength & conditioning exercises. Most promo emails I bin without reading, but the Urban Athlete newsletters are always worth reading in full. Also they are ACC funded, which obviously helps if you are on a budget. Fully recommend 100%

I am extremely grateful to Paul who treated my back and shoulders. Paul is exceptional and and I really appreciated his honesty, empathy, understanding and thoughtfulness which helped me enormously. Paul is highly professional and knowledgeable. Paul exceeded all expectations and I cannot recommend him enough. Paul is a Super Star and a fantastic Physiotherapist!

Friendly team, from the receptionists to the physiotherapists. Great location for those who live/work centrally. Parking might be tricky otherwise. I’ve been seeing Tomu for several months in relation to a shoulder injury. He has been incredibly helpful, giving guidance on exercises but also explaining the rational behind each one. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Physio in the city.
