About Chris Batten Physiotherapy
I enjoyed getting things working again and therefore being a mechanic was my calling. At about 6 years into my mechanics career, I suffered a severe back injury when lifting heavy equipment. I had protruded my L5/S1 vertebral disc with an annular tear. This injury left me in chronic pain for 3 years. During those three years I tried every form of therapy I could find, and really went around in circles trying to find a fix.
Of most benefit to me was massage. So much so that I quit my mechanics career and studied a diploma in therapeutic massage therapy. Being a student again was great and I loved learning about the human body. I was so intrigued to learn more at a deeper level, and I wanted a career that helped others so I signed up for my physiotherapy degree at Auckland University of Technology.
I completed my Four years of my degree and did an extra year of study on human movement and anatomy, a total of 5 years. Of most value about study was the fact that I learnt how to fix myself. Being in pain for so long made me pretty humble, giving me complete empathy for others that experience chronic pain.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really enjoyed my rehab experience with Chris. He is a very skilled, professional and the best part was that what he did worked! After seeing multiple specialists Chris was able to help determine the problem and worked with me to rehabilitate my hip inflammation in order to live pain free. Thanks for your help Chris! Highly recommend.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I attended Chris Batten Physio for 9 months for a shoulder injury. Chris was very knowledgeable, explained things well and advocated for me for further treatments. The ability to do on site gym sessions as part of the treatment plan was great, and most importantly he made a long recovery fun!! thanks Chris.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chris is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He has assisted my husband, myself, and our son with various injuries and each time it is his attention and expertise that has enabled us to recover quickly. I would (and already have) recommend Chris to anyone looking for an exceptional physio.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I can’t speak highly enough of Chris Batten.
After many years of struggling with an ankle issue and seeing numerous physios/specialists/surgeons, finding Chris Batten was a life saver.
My first appointment with Chris was unique, as there wasn’t the usual time limit normally allocated by physios. Chris took the time to get to the bottom of my ongoing ankle issue. I was blown away to find that at last a physio understood my issues and knew from the get go that I had found someone who could finally help me.
Chris’s physio room is located on the premises of Next Step Rehabilitation Gym (an amazing gym) Hence, instead of sending me home with a few exercises, as is the norm. He worked with me one on one, on an intense workout program. I had been limping for about three years when I first saw Chris, after approximately six weeks I had no limp. Basically he changed my life, in this regard.
I can’t speak highly enough of Chris, he’s an awesome physio, one of a kind. Also an amazing massage therapist.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris and his knowledge changed my life. I had a shoulder issue. Chris diagnosed quickly and got to work on sorting it. Each visit I felt extremely comfortable and made progress.
I have done physio in the past and Chris approached it in a completely different way. He walked through gym work building strength in my shoulders in a professional and warm manner.
I continue to recommend to family, friends and clients and Highly recommend Chris to all.
Thanks so much Chris for changing my life .

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I cannot recommend Chris highly enough! When I first saw Chris I had already been seeing a physio for 4 months for shoulder pain that, despite best efforts, just continued to worsen. When I walked into Chris' office I was in a great deal of pain, badly sleep deprived and frustrated at not having a clue as to why my shoulder was getting worse. After a quick examination, Chris was confidently able to diagnose frozen shoulder. He was caring and empathetic and clearly explained exactly what was going on. He came up with a plan of action moving forward and we achieved more in that 1 hour than I had in 4 months! Two months later of active rehab with Chris, I have zero pain and most of my range of movement back. If you are looking for a caring, highly knowledgeable and motivated physio who will actively work with you to get you fighting fit again then Chris is definitely your man!
