Fantastic experience: Discovered Matthew nearly 10yrs ago after trying many other Osteos. He is by far the best Ive found. His holistic approach across disciplines and professionalism has been a life changer for me. Quite literally. Highly recommend!
Hi Daniel, thanks so much for the kind review.
Yours in health, Matthew
Fantastic experience: Very good
Cheers, Cheyne. Thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment. Very professional. Highly recommended.
Hi Dave, thanks for the review! Best, Matthew.
Fantastic experience: As a teenager I had a bad fall from my horse. As I got up and kept going , it was presumed all was ok so no checks were done. Fast forward 50 or so years and I was having real trouble with tension up and down my back, my shoulders and neck. I was finally recommended a Chiro who I went for more than 5 years and initially got immediate relief but this did not last so was forever going back for more manipulations and as pain developed in different areas , I was told it was part of Aging. In the end I sought consultation from my body balancing naturopath who picked up the tension still there and recommended massage and osteopathy. I ended up at Unity. From my very first session with Mathew I was relieved of pain down my legs and have never had that pain since. It is now 11 months since I first saw him and I feel like and am just about normal again. He has been treating me for Scoliosis, Hip rotation and Sciatica. I no longer have an uneven waist, a belly button that is left of centre, one shoulder higher than the other nor a stiff neck. I really feel very fortunate to have found him. I have recommended him to several friends, all with different problems and he has helped them all significantly. I feel his interest in his profession and connected modalities transcends all his documented qualifications.
Thank you Lori for the thoughtful review. It's been really interesting following the changes from treatment that you have experienced. I'm glad to hear you’re feeling better and look forward to helping you stay on track with your health. And many thanks for your kind referrals to friends.
Best wishes, Matthew
Fantastic experience: Matthew has helped me significantly. I went to him with back pain caused by limping for several months due to a toe injury. He has helped get me back on my feet and walking pain free. Very grateful for his help.
Thanks Henry! Glad to hear you’re feeling better and look forward to helping you stay on track with your health. Best, Matthew
Fantastic experience: Given the exceptional care and guidance provided by Dr. Matthew Stewart, I am compelled to share my experience to benefit others. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Matthew. I went with a severe herniated disc condition in my neck, and no strength in my left arm and Dr. Matthew promptly identified the issue and initiated appropriate interventions. His expertise was evident in his ability to accurately assess the problem and provide clear guidance on the necessary steps. The subsequent MRI confirmed his initial assessment. Dr. Matthew offered a crucial lifeline, enabling me to reverse my condition. I am eternally grateful for his assistance, as I endured significant suffering for the initial six to eight weeks. During that time, I sought help from various physiotherapists and hospitals, but the issue remained undiagnosed despite multiple tests. Dr.Matthew is attentive and dedicated, providing ample time to discuss the patient's condition and closely monitoring progress. Furthermore, he demonstrates a genuine commitment to patient well-being, prioritizing care over financial gain. He offered support via email, demonstrating his dedication to my recovery. Thank you, Dr. Matthew.
Shikha, Thank you so much for the kind review. My goal is to provide the best possible care, so it’s wonderful to know the treatment you received made a difference. Thank you for choosing Unity Osteopathy. Always here if you need us. Best, Matthew
Fantastic experience: Before appointment was in considerable pain but after just one treatment significant improvement. Highly recommended
Thank you so much for your kind words, Warwick. Glad to be of service.

Thank you, Sarah!
Fantastic experience: Matt is an excellent osteopath, very experienced, knowledgeable, and skilled. He works in a gentle way with clear explanations, making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. I believe that he is one of the top osteopaths around, and I've tried a lot of osteopaths/other treatment modalities! I highly rate his genuine kindness, care, and expertise.
Thank you Rochelle for the wonderful review. It is much appreciated!
Matthew
Fantastic experience: Matthew is a great osteo, I've been seeing him for a couple of years for hip issues related to distance running and he takes a broad view of the body and how to heal it. He is incredibly knowledgeable and I recommend him to anyone looking for an expert osteopath.
Thanks for the kind review, Kathryn. It's much appreciated

Hi Harley, thank you so much.
Yours in health,

Fantastic experience: Matt's like the GOAT in terms of understanding an athlete's body and the complexity of injury. He's a considered practitioner who can guide you back to fitness with realism and optimism. Super knowledgeable and an athlete himself, he understands how important it is to get back out on the trails/roads even if you're not an elite. Highly recommend.
Thank you Mikki, high praise indeed. ☺️
Best, Matt
Fantastic experience: Matt is the best, wouldn't go to anyone else!
Thank you so much Jo!
Fantastic experience: Hi I’m Colin Simpson and I have been going to see Matt for about 6 years off and on. I highly recommend him as one of the best osteopaths that I have ever seen. He has gone above and beyond for my son and I. Regards Colin Simpson
Hi Colin,
Thank you for the kind review and putting me in that league. I know you know some very fine Osteopaths! Always a pleasure to look after you and Jack.
Best of health, Matthew.
Fantastic experience: I have been to so many Chiropractors and Osteopath but I have never came across someone as knowledgeable and professional. I 100% recommend Mathew
Hi Amrinder, Thank you for the kind review and I'm glad your getting the results you are after. Best, Matthew
Fantastic experience: Matthew is fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable, really knows his craft and a pleasure to deal with. Fixes my issues and injuries in one session. Highly recommend for all your Osteo needs.
Thank you for your very kind review!
Fantastic experience: Matthew is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely caring, taking the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assess my needs. Throughout the sessions, I felt like I was in expert hands. The treatment was tailored to my specific issues, and I can feel the positive effects with each visit. We even find time to chat about a variety of topics including travel , sport and world politics although I believe this is optional !! Recently I went on holiday and I actually looked forward to getting back to Unity Osteopathy and I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew.
Hi Lynne,
Thank you for the kind review. Are you saying an Osteo session is better than a holiday in Fiji?
High praise indeed!
Best of health,
Matthew
Fantastic experience: Unity Osteo is an excellent practice. I regularly go to see Matt who is an exceptional osteopath. He has insightful expertise and cares about his clients. He is well-researched and consistently keeps up to date with modern developments within his field. He makes recommendations for complimentary practices when necessary and ensures a comprehensive and holistic approach. I have been going to him for many years.
Thank you so much Lou for the kind review.
Best, Matt
Fantastic experience: Have seen Matthew for 3 sessions now, focusing on a significant foot issue I have had for some months. The treatment I received in the first session was quite different than what I had received elsewhere with a physio, another osteo and a specialist podiatrist. Not only did the foot issue improve significantly after that first session, but the way the treatment included the whole body and nervous system meant I felt more balanced overall and now look forward to maintenance sessions moving forward.
Hi Robyn, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It wil be interesting to see where the ongoing positive progress leads to!
Best regards, Matthew
Fantastic experience: My first time visiting an osteo, after tweaking my back during a trip to Auckland. I could barely move, but after the appointment I was much more limber and pain much relieved. Matt was outstanding, you have to let this man help you with your pain! A+++++ legendary service
Thanks heaps for that kind review Matthew (great name btw :) and glad to help you out. Safe travels back home and check out those local osteos now you know what we can do. And thanks to Dave from Palmy for the recommendation!
Fantastic experience: Matt is a great osteopath. Been treated by him for years and highly recommend him.
Thank you for your review! It is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Matthew
Fantastic experience: I hadn't seen an Osteopath for years, and recently saw Matthew for a shoulder injury. Professional and knowledgeable, with a great manner, Matthew fixed my shoulder in good time, and I'm back to normal. I would recommend Unity Osteopathy to all.
Hi Stuart, glad to hear you are doing well and thank you for the kind review.
And for the reading recommendations!
Fantastic experience: I'm in my early eighties and a client of Matt (aka Unity Osteopathy). I first discovered osteopathy when I was a keen athlete in my mid-thirties (and as a health discipline I still swear by it). I have met a number of practitioners since then. Matt stands out (for me) as one who not only has superb manual skills but is prepared to go beyond the traditional envelope. My experience is that he does not jeopardise safety, and indeed emphasises it. The result is that he offers options that others may not. He has introduced me to the concept of running in barefoot style, and to doing heavy resistance work in the gym in order to rebuild lost muscle (or at least prevent further loss) which has limited my ability to continue running. These are still works in progress, but the results seem promising, and in particular are backed up by sound scientific research to which Matt has pointed me. Matt has become my mentor for my ambition to be running at ninety. For those wishing more conventional treatment, I also rate Matt among the best I have encountered among his profession. It is superfluous to say that I confidently recommend him and the art he practises.
Bruce, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Happy training!
Fantastic experience: Matthew is an absolute life saver. I deal with chronic pain every day, and it wrecks my sleep patterns, but after an appointment at Unity, I sleep amazingly, and all the stress and tension I've been carrying is released.
Hi Daniel, Thank you for taking the time to write a very kind review.
Fantastic experience: Matthew is an INCREDIBLE osteopath! He is gifted, attentive, compassionate, gentle, intelligent, kind and funny! If you're thinking about booking an appointment - DO IT. I am so grateful for him! I have quite a complex situation that not everyone would know how to approach but Matthew did. He helped the tightness, twisted ribs, pain / aches and nervous system all calm down even with my hyper sensitivity! He has heaps of in-depth knowledge about many subjects and so beautifully answers all my questions! I really appreciated hearing all his insights / suggestions / thoughts! Highly recommend him!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hi Danielle, thank you for taking the time to post the very kind review - it is much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: I have been treated for frozen shoulder complications. Matthew creates a welcoming safe open space where you feel listened to and where symptoms are treated with a holistic approach. His passion knowledge and expertise in osteopathy creates trust in the decision to be treated by him.
Hi Joanna, thank you for the kind review. Looking forward to seeing you on your bike soon!
Fantastic experience: Matthew is very helpful and goes out of his way to look after you. I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind review, Shirley. Glad to be able to help.
Fantastic experience: Last year I was referred to Matthew and had a number of areas that needed improvement. Matthew is super knowledgeable and really took the time to listen to my concerns. The treatment was gentle yet effective, and I felt so much better afterwards. I highly recommend Unity Osteopathy
Thank you Pia. Happy dancing!
Fantastic experience: I and a self proclaimed pretzel. A body completely twisted out of shape. It’s so great to find someone locally who has helped me get relief and also speaks to me about what is going on with my body. It’s so important to feel heard and understood and that’s exactly why I will happily recommend Matthew. I’m already looking forward to my next treatment after today’s. I’m a work in progress, but already the change has been significant. Thank you!
Hi Ay, Happy to help with the un-pretzelling :) and thank you for your kind review.
Matthew
Fantastic experience: Can’t rave about Matthew enough! I have followed him to whichever clinic he has practiced out of! Good chats as well.
Hi Andrew, Thanks so much for the kind review!
Fantastic experience: Matt is the only osteo in town that I trust! I’ve followed Matt through different clinics that he has worked at and he is excellent. It’s clear he knows his stuff, which puts you at ease— especially for anyone who can be nervous about adjustments. He’s fixed things that other osteos haven’t been able to. Can’t recommend Matt highly enough!
Hi Elise, thank you for the kind review and ongoing support! Much appreciated.
Matt.
Fantastic experience: I have found Matthew to be an experienced, intelligent and effective osteo as well as a kind and easy-going person. He knows his stuff, is responsive with feedback and always willing and able to taper our sessions to suit where I’m at. I’ve explored many different osteos and I consistently get great and desired results from Matthew. I won’t be searching for another one again while he’s around!
Hi Joseph, Thanks so much for the five star review, it's much appreciated.
Cheers, Matt
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Matt for years and any time I have a bad neck, back, shoulder or anything else, he is quickly able to get to the bottom of it and have me feeling 100%. He is a fountain of knowledge and has helped me understand my body so I can prevent further injury.
Thank you for the 5 star review Jack, much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Matthew relieved my shoulder and neck pain I have been battling with for over a year and a half in just 1 session, but solved it with 3 sessions. He has a wealth of knowledge, understanding how the body is a holistic ecosystem. I felt in the safest hands with his knowledge and friendly attitude. I would only ever trust Matt again. Thank you so much, you've made the world of difference for me.
Hi Sam, thanks for the kind review, it's much appreciated and I'm glad we could make such a difference to your health.
Happy travels,
Matthew
Fantastic experience: I have a chronic pain condition that Matthew has been treating for the past five years. Matthew’s treatment has had a transformative effect on my health and wellbeing. I am now far more functional in daily life, can easily care for my young child and have been able to increase my hours at work. In addition, I have improved to the extent that I now only need occasional treatment. I highly recommend Unity Osteopathy.
Thank you for the kind review, Kiri. Glad to be of help.
Fantastic experience: Location and staff are doing an absolute outstanding job. Treatment over past 7 years always put me back in to shape, Matt always provides the best advise espetially for people works on the tools and demands a lot from their body like myself. Best place for who play motorsport and bike riding. This place is ran by people have passion for what they do and that is a plus mwill make you feel like family.
David, Thank you for the kind review, it is most appreciated. Ciao!
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Matt for about 7 years with all the aches and pains of leading an active life and getting older. Fantastic service and great approach to understanding issues and then treating them. Couldn't ask more from an osteo!

Hi Warwick, Thank you for the kind review, it's much appreciated!
Best,
Matthew
Fantastic experience: I've been lucky to know the very clever Matthew Stewart for a long time. He is a seriously gifted Osteopath that I trust with my health and my family members health. My husband had suffered from headaches for years until I met him and begged him to go see Matthew. He called me after and told me he was floating down the road! Whenever we are concerned about skeletal alignment and nervous system health affecting sleep with our SleepDrops customers I recommend that they make an appointment with Matthew. He's talented and just an all around good guy so I know people I love and care about are in good hands when they get a treatment from Matthew. Make an appointment today :)

Thanks for taking the time to post your review Shireen - much appreciated! Matt,
Unity Osteopathy.
Fantastic experience: Long time sports and martial artist I've seen over 8 Osteopath's in 24 years to heal and adjust my body and it's my professional opinion that Matthew is one of the best. With an indeepth knowledge of the human body and a great handle on vitamin's and nutrition he has been a massive help in getting me to my health and wellbeing goals. Don't wait to see, book a session and like my family and friends that have seen him you won't regret it.
Hi Pranay, thank you for the review, much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Great osteo. Matthew helps me on with an ongoing back issue and Ive never felt better. Ive dealt with about 6 or 7 osteos in the last 5 years and none have been as good with adjustments or as knowledgeable as Matthew.
Thank you, Tej! We appreciate your support and the lovely review. Kia Ora!
Fantastic experience: Matt has been my go-to for Osteopathic treatment for 6 years and counting. I am continually impressed with his ability to precisely address muscle and joint dysfunction with both robust effect and minimal discomfort. I always feel safe in his hands and get off the table feeling significant change has been made. He has a wealth of knowledge peripheral to Osteopathy, contributing to illuminating conversations, advice and insights. Matt is a highly skilled professional and all-around genuinely good dude - I can't recommend him enough!
Thanks for the review Conner!
