MEET OUR TEAM
Motus Health is the only clinic in the region with access to the highest quality strength training equipment. It was opened by Jack Busch at the end of 2019 and has greatly grown since.
With a background in powerlifting and strength sports, Jack noticed there was a lack of quality health care tailored to the active individual. There was little understanding from health professionals on the demands that sports and strength training can have on the body and the advice available was often outdated or insufficient for the majority of active individuals.
This avid interest in strength sports combined with Jacks background in physiotherapy allowed him to develop his unique approach which combines traditional physiotherapy with exercise and movement. Thus Motus Health was born. The definition of ‘Motus’ in Latin is movement/motion and It is this definition that greatly defines the treatment approach at Motus Health.
We are here to help you move well and feel better!
