"Your recovery. Your pace. Your life back."
Personalised physiotherapy for families and athletes in Glen Eden, Auckland. Led by Priyesh Desai — a decade of clinical excellence in sports injury rehabilitation, back and neck pain, ACC treatment, and long-term recovery.
Why patients choose us
Qualified in 2014 and shaped by over a decade of front-line clinical work, Priyesh built his reputation on a principle that has never changed: every patient deserves care that truly fits them. Not a standard protocol, not a rushed session — genuine, personalised treatment focused on getting to the root of the problem.
He established and ran his own musculoskeletal clinic early in his career, where demand grew to the point that patients travelled across state lines to receive treatment — not through advertising, but through outcomes. Word of mouth in physiotherapy is earned one recovery at a time.
"Patients would travel across states to receive care. That told me something important — that when you treat people with real attention and skill, they notice."
Alongside clinical work, he was embedded in competitive sport, providing physiotherapy support at cricket and squash tournaments. This sharpened his understanding of how the body performs under pressure and how it needs to recover from it. That background informs everything from acute injury care to structured return-to-sport programmes at Gleneden.
In 2017 he moved to New Zealand, spending years working across diverse healthcare settings. During that time he also offered free online guidance to people navigating their own injuries — because he believed good clinical knowledge shouldn't be locked behind an appointment.
Gleneden Family Physiotherapy was founded in 2022 with a clear purpose: to offer Auckland patients the kind of care that restores not just function, but confidence — and keeps them well long after they leave the clinic.
Hands-on joint and soft tissue techniques to reduce pain, restore movement, and address the physical source of injury directly and precisely.
Targeted treatment for chronic and acute back pain, neck pain, and postural issues — addressing root causes, not just masking symptoms.

Registered ACC provider offering seamless injury treatment coverage. We handle the ACC process so you can focus entirely on your recovery.
Guided recovery after knee replacements, ACL surgery, shoulder repairs and more — with clear milestones tailored to how your body is responding.
Progressive programmes that rebuild strength, stability, and movement — the foundation for lasting recovery and protection against re-injury.
In-depth evaluation of bones, muscles, and joints to identify the true cause of your pain and build a treatment plan that addresses it fully.

Priyesh is absolutely fantastic. After months of chronic back pain I finally feel like myself again. He took the time to actually understand my problem — not just treat the symptom. Highly recommend to anyone in West Auckland.
Tore my hamstring playing cricket and was back on the field in 8 weeks. Priyesh's sports rehab programme was exactly what I needed — structured, progressive, and always adapting to how my body was responding. Can't thank him enough.
The whole family sees Priyesh now. He's great with my kids and my elderly mum too. The ACC process was handled seamlessly — I didn't have to worry about anything except getting better. Truly a gem in Glen Eden.
