Book Your Neck Assessment

Whether it’s constant upper back and shoulder tightness, waking up with a stiff neck, shooting nerve pain down your arm, or tension headaches from long hours at a desk, we’ve got you covered.

We help to identify the root cause, by analysing not only your neck joints and cervical spine, but your workplace ergonomics and daily posture too. We then create a treatment plan focused on long-term recovery, not just temporary relief, to ensure you can get back to living and working pain-free.

Neck Pain Doesn’t Usually Fix Itself

Most people wait too long before getting treatment, relying on heat packs or painkillers. What started as minor tightness or a dull ache at the base of your skull, slowly develops into:

  • Sharp pain when turning your head to check your blind spot while driving

  • Chronic tension headaches or migraines that disrupt your workday

  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness traveling down into your shoulders and arms

  • Severe sleep disruption because you can't find a comfortable pillow position

  • Heavy posture strain (like "tech neck") that permanently limits your movement

The earlier the underlying issue is addressed, the easier the recovery usually becomes.

Testimonials

  • "Hands down the best physio in Auckland! I’ve seen him on and off over the past 10 years for a range of issues - neck, both shoulders, back, knees, ankle, pre- and post-surgery. He’s consistently nailed the diagnosis and played a key role in every recovery. I can’t recommend him highly enough"

    — Calvin D

  • "What really sets him apart is that he doesn’t just treat the symptoms, he takes the time to understand the root cause of each issue and puts practical measures in place to fix it long-term. Alongside easing pain, he provides clear guidance, tailored exercises, and ongoing support to help prevent problems from coming back. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable physio who’s approachable, thorough, and genuinely invested in your recovery, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."

    — Aaron H

  • "Leon is an outstanding physio! I have been a client for a few years and Leon has helped me find my way back to sports when many others had told me I wouldn't be able to do the things I wanted too. We certainly proved them wrong. Leon is kind, caring and listens and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend."

    — Charlotte M

  • "I felt really listened to and looked after by Magnus, it was great to get a fresh perspective and new pair of hands on my injury. Had a great massage and he also was easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable!"
