Testimonials

I have been lucky enough to have been treated by Craig for the past year or so. His approach to treatment makes me feel like he really understands the workings of the body and and is thinking about the best way to treat the underlying factor, and what may be causing it, rather than just treat the issue itself. My treatments with Craig have helped me to maintain and continue to maintain health and perform to the best of my abilities during these really important years of my athletic career. Craig is always professional and I always get off the table knowing my body is better off for seeing him

As a professional photographer for 12 years I never noticed until recently how hours of standing and long hours that I spent in front of computer can throw my body out of the balance. Pain in my neck, lower back and rounded shoulders were my issues. Thats why after every wedding or long event photoshoot I make sure that I have appointment booked at Motion Plus Clinic

OMG I was referred to Craig from a friend, I had a stuffed Hammi with a 12k run in a week and a triathlon in two. Not only did Craig help with manipulation and strapping from day one, he gave effective easy examples of how to self help. He helped also with prevention and explained why the injury happened in the first place. I was well on the road to recovery within a month. I recommend Craig above all other osteo/physio’s - amazing!

I suffered ongoing shoulder impingement/bursitis for about 12months, having various treatments ranging from physio including needles, Sports Therapist which included Cortisone, an Osteo and numerous sports massage. After about 3 months with a Physio was referred for MRI scan, resulted in 3 tears in my right rotator cuff and bursitis. From here I continued under this care for another 3 months with minimal change. I then sought treatment from a Myofascial Therapist where I spent 4 months under his care with again minimal change (very expensive cost). After no success a friend told me about a guy he had seen which helped a lot. So I thought, I might as well give it a go. And wow, after just 3 treatments with Craig – Motionplus Osteo, first time in just on 12 months, no discomfort in my right shoulder. I just couldn’t believe it, I could lift my arm without that impingement. From there I have continued to see him on and off for small niggles but not related to my shoulder. I am so grateful for the treatment I receive from Craig and I would recommend him 100%

Errr just to clarify.. in the past I could do 30-50 unbroken skips but it was absolute agony, and legs + feet were a mess after…they never recovered, the sore just got less. The constant pain has been a killer so 1 pain free DU is a beauty, 30 is a bloody miracle!

About Me

MY NAME IS Craig O’Connor


I have successfully earned a Master's degree, with my thesis concentrating on "Kapa Haka and its correlated health and well-being advantages for Kaihaka" (Kapa Haka performers). My academic journey at Unitec was distinguished by the receipt of several Ministry of Health scholarships, including a Men’s Health scholarship, which financially supported my initiative aimed at delivering healthcare services tailored for tradespeople. Furthermore, I have augmented my academic achievements by completing a postgraduate certificate in Acupuncture at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in recent years.

Born and bred on the beautiful East coast of New Zealand, I love spearfishing or getting out for a surf. I am also a keen Judoka, (a person who does Judo).
