MotionPlus Osteo | Hamilton’s Injury & Performance osteopath
MotionPlus is an ACC registered osteopath in Hamilton, helping people move better, feel stronger, and live with less pain. I use modern, evidence-based osteopathic techniques to treat muscles, tendons and joints, addressing the root cause of discomfort, not just the symptoms.
I work with athletes, weekend warriors, desk-based professionals, and tradespeople, delivering personalised osteopathic care that restores movement and confidence. Whether you’re recovering from injury or managing ongoing pain, our Hamilton osteopathic services are designed to get you back to doing what you love.
At MotionPlus, osteopathy goes beyond hands-on treatment. We combine expert care with practical education and guidance, empowering you to achieve lasting pain relief, improved mobility, and better overall wellbeing.
About Me
MY NAME IS Craig O’Connor
I’m a Hamilton-based Osteopath dedicated to helping people stay active and resilient. My approach is grounded in both high-level academic research and practical, hands-on experience.
My Background & Expertise:
Kapa Haka & Wellbeing: I hold a Master’s degree with a thesis focused on the health benefits of Kapa Haka for Kaihaka. I’m passionate about how traditional movement supports modern health.
Supporting Our Tradies: I was awarded a Ministry of Health Men’s Health scholarship to develop healthcare services specifically for tradespeople—making sure the people who build our city stay injury-free.
Advanced Care: To provide the best possible recovery for my patients, I also hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Western Acupuncture from AUT.
Outside of the clinic, I’m a true coaster at heart. You’ll usually find me spearfishing, surfing, or on the Judo mat. I believe the best treatment isn't just about fixing an injury, it's about getting you back to the lifestyle you love.

What I do
As a Structural Osteopath, I focus on how your body moves so you can perform at your best—whether you're on the sports field, the worksite, or in the office.
My approach combines advanced movement screening with hands-on treatment to fix the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms. I specialise in:
Manual Therapy: Soft tissue massage and joint mobilisation.
Acupuncture: Clinical dry needling for pain and recovery.
Rehab: Custom exercise plans to prevent future injuries.
I’ve worked with elite international athletes in CrossFit, Netball, and Olympic Weightlifting, and I bring that same high-level injury prevention and rehab to every patient in Hamilton.
