Fantastic experience: Want to give a shout out to Darius and Tesia for fixing me up! I've been coming here for about 6 months and had a shin splints, neck sprain, shoulder and traps injuries, all to my own doing. Tesia and Darius not only helped me with recovery but teaching me about preventative exercises and I've become a much better at learning on how to manage and build up deficiencies. They've taught me so much and I do trust their assessments. In regards to the facilities, it's very convenient if you're in the CBD and scheduling an appointment is very easy with apps. Reception is very lovely and have gotten to know them but I really do value their service and how well they treat their customers. I'm a bupa member and think that this has a good co pay for their physio services. I recommend this to anyone that needs a physio or dry needling on the go.

Fantastic experience: It’s been an exceptional experience with City Physio and specifically with Physiotherapist Simon and the Remedial Massage Therapist Pavel. After suffering from whiplash due to a car accident. Simon’s expertise and care have been evident from the very first session. They listened to my concerns, provided a treatment plan, and have helped me make significant progress in my recovery. Both Simon and Pavel are professional and personable, with a down to earth approach. I feel confident and supported in my path to recovery.

Negative experience: The worst physio I have ever been to. I had Mr Simon Mew treat me twice for headaches and both times were perfunctory. His "massage" was more like caressing, and he did it absentmindedly while playing with his phone (he only used one hand, the massage was intermittent without any force). After 15 minutes, he couldn't wait to tell me that the treatment was over, without any stretching or daily maintenance advice, and didn't even ask if I felt better. If he doesn't know how to do physiotherapy, then he must be racist to treat me like this.

City Physio

Hello, I am the practice director and I am reposing to your Google review that you posted today. We are very distressed about your allegations of our physiotherapist Simon Mew being a racist, which I will attest to that it is absolutely false and which we point out is considered hate speech under Google's Review Policy. I have employed Simon for 10 years and have never had anyone suggest such an untrue and hateful allegation. Accusing someone with a professional degree and of not knowing "how to do physiotherapy: and of "caressing" them is also false, inflammatory and accusatory and we completely refute your allegations in these regards also.

I have discussed your case with Simon and I know from his treatment style that his phone was not in his pocket as it is kept in our therapists offices when we are in treatment sessions with our patients at all times. He wears an iwatch that, is turned off but that sometimes vibrates when notifications from his child's school come in. That doesn't mean that he is reading any messages and he was certainly not playing on his phone. In the initial & subsequent treatment's we ascertain what strength the patient is comfortable with when treating them with hands on physiotherapy/ we point out that the physio's are not remedial massage therapists and treatment techniques will vary. Sometimes when doing trigger point therapy around the neck and upper back a single hand can be used to treat and there is nothing wrong or unprofessional with this approach.

Whilst it appears you were very disappointed with your treatment instead of talking to the physio in or after your session or even asking to speak with the practice director if you thought something was not helpful to your recovery from headaches, you made hateful assumptions and false allegations of our therapist instead. We always highly welcome in treatment feedback if something is not comfortable or if you feel a different pressure is going to help. Simon also reports that he provided you with some after treatment advice & whilst it might not have been strengthening or stretching exercises at this point in your treatment that that doesn't mean the other advice was not warranted. Treatment is very specific to each individual and general stretching is often not helpful, we offer a more tailored treatment approach that does include exercises but it can be contraindicated to add lots of different therapy and exercises all at once.

We ask that you take a thorough read of the words I have written and ask as a courtesy to you for you to remove the review from this profile effective immediately and refrain from making any further inflammatory, hateful or false allegations about Simon or City Physiotherapy in general..

Nigel Stedman Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Tessia is thorough, listens and provides what is needed... I am learning a lot about how to exercise/stretch properly... I am currently being treated for a posterior fibre injury which tends to affect much of my back... so have made progress, not out of it yet...

City Physio

Hi Nigel, thank you so much for your 5 star review of the experience and treatment you’ve received at City Physiotherapy with our awesome physio Tesia. Not all problems are a quick fix as human beings are complex. The positive is that once Tesia has you on the right path with your physio treatment and you going the exercises the changes will keep happening and your back pain will improve giving you a stronger body and a way to manage your symptoms. Keep up the stretches. Cheers from the City Physio team.

Kerri Flanagan Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Linda is a fabulous physio, who is considerate and kind, but not so kind that her remedial massages don't hit the spot - she has strong hands and gets in and does a proper job. The other key point is that City Physio charges are reasonable, and for those with a Senior's card, the practice offers you a small discount off the gap.

City Physio

Thank you for your 5 star review Kerri. We are happy that Linda’s strong hands are helping you to get on top of your symptoms with effective hands on physiotherapy treatment. We are mindful of the cost of living for our patients now more than ever and have always tried to offer good value physiotherapy in Adelaide. Cheers from the City Physiotherapy team.

Robert Cartledge Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Linda is an extremely gifted Physio, but she's more than just a physio, she is so extensively trained in a range of therapies that she seems to know exactly what is needed every time I have a session. I have been suffering with various back and neck issues for years and have been to numerous therapists, but none of them come remotely close to the relief I get from Linda. Thanks Linda

City Physio

Thank you so much for your 5 star review Robert. We are always incredibly humbled when our patients go on the journey of recovery from pain, and the impact that has on their lives, with us. Thank you for choosing City Physiotherapy to help you with your health and wellness. Kind Regards from the team at City Physio

Leroy Morales Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been to many different physios who all use massages as a recovery method, and after visiting them, I rarely found that I had received a good massage. Many of these physios would often go too light on the massages. This is the opposite with Linda; she ensures that she delivers an amazing hands-on massage, as well as the occasional cupping and dry needling session.

City Physio

Hi Leroy, thank you for your 5 star review of your experience at City Physiotherapy. We aim to provide excellence in delivering professional and effective physiotherapy treatment to our patients. We are a hands on clinic and tailor our treatment to suit each individual patient often using a combination of soft tissue,nerve & joint release, dry needling, cupping and exercise rehabilitation.

Cheers from the team at City Physiotherapy

Mrs.Minnie Mickey Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I just want to say, “God Bless You Linda”! It has been years now that I have been suffering from back and neck issues with constant headaches, dizziness and brain fog. Several times I have been in tears due to my inability to be properly functional. It is remarkable how chronic pain can affect one psychologically. I used to be really miserable due to my 24/7 headaches. I notice how much more energy and positive attitude I have, just after three sessions with you. I have a hope now. I wish i met you earlier. You were the first to look at my situation as an individual one. I can't thank you enough for being approachable, friendly and a thorough professional. Your hands-on treatment and Dry needling Technique speaks a lot about your work excellence. I never experienced any of this earlier with other physios. Your personality and work ethics are commendable. THANK YOU! Will see you soon! The admin staff are polite & friendly. Their customer service is excellent. The place is clean, organized and calm, which is what we all need during COVID times. Strict COVID prevention protocols are still followed. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of physio treatment.

City Physio

Dear Minnie,
Thank you so much for taking the time give us a 5 star review of your treatment experience at City Physiotherapy with Linda. Our team is built on providing excellence in empathic care backed by professionalism and clinical expertise. Often when someone has chronic pain, headaches and brain fog, it is hard to function well. Our approach is not only looking at the presenting physical issues, but more a holistic approach that encompasses each patient as a whole person. A person who has a life, that needs to function in that life with whatever stressors and life/work commitments that need to remain and operate into the future whilst we are helping step by step to lead our patients towards recovery, better health and wellbeing. It is always a pleasure and an honour to be able to journey with our patients through difficult times towards better ones.
Thank you for choosing City Physiotherapy to journey with you
Kind Regards

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Linda for about 6 years now for treatment of an ongoing inflammatory disease. Her treatment of my condition has always been excellent. Simon has also treated me for trismus following wisdom tooth removal, which was very effective and allowed me to talk, sing and eat without pain (I've never experienced pain like it!). Highly recommend her and the whole team at City Physio.

Fantastic experience: I've been attending this clinic since 2016. The physios have been greatly helpful to me. Recently Tesia helped me with my pilates program. She was one of the best physios I've met. She accurately assessed my conditions, set up a perfect program for me, demonstrated the exercises and corrected my postures really well. I highly recommend her.

E Chung Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great remedial massage technique from Pavel and excellent service! Always friendly and approachable. I'm quite picky with the massage technique as most of the time they are either too light or heavy and it ends up pain and soreness around the area. Pavel always manage to reduce the symptoms right away after getting a massage session from him.

City Physio

Hi E Chung, thank you so much for your 5 star review of the remedial massage therapy treatment you have benefited from with Pavel at City Physiotherapy.

She is a very good physio and has world of knowlege in physiotherapy. She does the wholistic treatment for the patient.

Fantastic experience: I visit City Physiotherapy for my monthly massage with Tashi. It's always a challenge when you are looking for a new therapist, as I was when I relocated to Adelaide two years ago. It was my good luck to find Tashi, an excellent massage therapist who knows how to treat your injuries and relax you at the same time. I highly recommend paying Tashi a visit.

Selwyn Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: Horrible experience.. 1st time goer. $69 for 20mins. Nvr coming back again.

City Physio

Hi Selwyn, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with a review of your experience at City Physiotherapy. I am always happy to receive feedback and to improve our patient satisfaction. I have been in business for 28 years and have built a very good reputation with many satisfied and happy patients over that time. As such I am a little confused though about your recollection of only receiving 20 mins as all of our new patient initial booking times are at least 30 minutes in duration unless our patients arrive late to the clinic. We ask & inform that all new patients arrive at least 5 minutes early to fill in health screening and patient information forms so that the appointments can commence on time. We strive to always be running on time and cannot extend treatment times if the session comments late as it will affect the next patients treatment session which I am sure you will understand. Occasionally we run a few minutes late if there is something complex going on but this is the exception rather than the rule at City Physiotherapy. We provide a professional service as registered health professionals and assess, diagnose, provide treatment and follow-up advice for our patients. The time this takes between each patient will obviously vary somewhat as each person is an individual and will require bespoke and varied treatments which may be shorter or longer in duration. The outcomes of a professional physiotherapy session do not get minimised or heightened by the number of minutes each treatment lasts for. I do not know the individual circumstances of your arrival time to the clinic for your appointment and therefore can only surmise that late arrival may have been a factor if your treatment was shorter than half an hour.As for the cost, we offer very generous fees of $69 for an initial consultation for those people who do not have health insurance cover. We know that not all people can afford health insurance nor expensive treatments and if you look around you will see that the cost of an initial consultation elsewhere for someone with no cover is up to double this dollar amount. We have always kept this fee low so that as many people as possible can gain access to quality healthcare. We are though registered health professionals in a private setting who offer a professional service and as such we do need to charge for our services.We do want to help all of our patients and I'd like extend you an offer of returning to the clinic for a subsequent consultation at our subsequent consultation rate to book in with the director, Linda Shacklock who will spend time with you going over your particular Physiotherapy health concerns. You will need to let our friendly reception know that you have had direct communication from me on this matter should you wish to take me up on this offer. With kindest regards Linda Shacklock, clinic director City Physiotherapy.

v ls Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: 3 rounds of dry needling only increased my pain. Last round caused a migraine. When called to cancel my next appointment and asked to speak to the physio who worked on me to talk about it, I was told "we don't do phone consults", and "he should have talked about whether or not it was helping during the visit". Why would I go to the CBD, still in tremendous pain, and pay a full rate, for a 5-minute conversation? Very disappointed in the way this was handled.

City Physio

Dear V, I am writing to respond to your review of our clinic and I am apologetic that your found your experience to be as you described. As the owner of the clinic I take all feedback seriously and want you to know that I have spoken to both the physio who treated you and the admin staff who spoke with you in order to gain an overall picture of your issue. I understand that your particular pain has been present for more than 2.5 years and as such is considered a chronic pain issue. Along with your pain you are of course foremost a person and your pain impacts all areas of your life from work, social, hobbies, activities of daily living, sleep, relationships etc. Living with pain and not finding solutions after years is difficult, costly and frustrating and all of these factors feed back into your pain experience as the nervous system receives all input, not just select input. We understand where you are coming from. Most often these longer term pain problems take longer to respond to treatment and will take time to resolve or minimise. This is because the nervous system has become sensitised to all stimulation in a heightened way, even light touch is often painful when the nervous system is sensitised. I understand that the hands on treatments/ mobilisations you received were uncomfortable and that after discussion with you dry needling therapy was used. This accesses the nervous system directly and over time can assist in calming down the heightened and irritated nervous system that is present in chronic pain. Dry Needling as well as hands on treatments will usually cause some kind of initial irritation before settling of pain can occur. This is because the movements or the stimulation is sending pain signals to the brain, the brain responds with an inflammatory response which is the way it is designed to initiate healing. A persons pain experience is complex and it is affected by many things. Clear and effective communication between the therapist and patient is crucial to tailoring a treatment or modifying a treatment to effect the best possible outcome for you. We, as treating practitioners, can only go by what feedback a patient provides so that we can make those changes and offer the best advice for at home management also.I do know that the receptionist who you spoke to offered to speak to the physio who treated you about your issue and suggested that they would want to know about your call. She did say that you couldn't speak to them right then and there as they were treating other patients at the time and understandably, we can't interrupt other patients treatments with lengthy phone calls. That would not be fair on the person receiving treatment at the time. I am sure you wouldn't have appreciated that either. I do know that the physio did call you back twice on the same day on a break and at the end of the day to talk to you. They left you a voice message as you did not answer either of the phone calls. They are still more than happy to talk to you and offered for you to ring the clinic back and leave them a message to call you back at a convenient time. We really want to make a different to your pain and feel that we can help you. Something that is complex will not be simple to resolve in a few sessions. We say this because it is true and for no other reason. It would be unprofessional for anyone to advise you that a complex chronic pain problem could be fixed in a couple of sessions. We understand that physio can be expensive and that is why as you have no private health insurance we offer you and others a heavily discounted rate for physio treatment at our clinic is compared to most others. We are health professionals and as such we do need to charge a reasonable fee for service just like any other professional, such as your GP or other service providers. We hope this explanation now provides you with more clarity and we ask that you consider removing the 1 star review given. Thank you Linda Shacklock.

Fantastic experience: What a great experience today! It was a random internet search that landed me at City Physio and I'm so glad I did. I was suffering from vertigo and extreme dizziness, falling to the right when I arrived. 30 minutes later I was walking out in a straight line, feeling ever so much better. Simon was amazing - calm, professional and most competent. An added unexpected surprise bonus was catching up with the boss, Linda, an old neighbour, who has obviously built a very successful city practice. Booking the appointment with Elaine at the desk was reassuring and so very helpful. What a team! Highly recommended ......10 stars!!

City Physio

Hi Paul, thank you so much for your 5 star review of your experience at City Physiotherapy today. We’re very happy that we were able to assist you with your vertigo and have you feeling much better than when you walked in. Our reception staff pride themselves in helping make our patients visit to the clinic as helpful, empathic, smooth and as friendly as possible and it’s lovely for them to receive a complement for the fantastic work they do. What a lovely surprise also to see a friendly former neighbour as well. Wishing you the best with your recovery and now you know where to find us should you have any future physiotherapy needs. Kind Regards from the City Physio team.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to see Fraser for some 4 years now for a range of different issues. Every time I've been to him he has fixed whatever problem I had without fail within 1-2 sessions. He's not pushy to get me back and always has a method of progress for me to self manage after seeing him. All round a very knowledgeable guy, and very personable and comfortable to engage with. Recommend him to everyone I know.

Sigrid Brown Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Linda and her City Physio Practice through friends. I had severe pain in my left knee and leg. Linda gave me the best treatment I could wish for. She also introduced me to some "home-exercise", which improved my movements and balance immensely. She is very knowledgeable about what she is doing including dry needling. I am in very good and professional hands with Linda. I also want to mention Linda's reception staff. Always friendly and good for a laugh. This definitely has to do with the overall good atmosphere in the City Physio practice.

Corinna McLaine Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have had sciatica for over a month. I visited Linda, who made me feel very welcome and at ease. She proceeded to work on my troubles with firm massage, dry needles and conversation about what was happening. I walked out feeling much better. I had a weekend ahead of 4X 14 hour days on my feet, and was quite nervous about it, but all went well. I went back for a second visit after the weekend, and am feeling almost 100%. Very impressed, and excited to be feeling so much better. Looking forward to more wellbeing in the space. Thank you!

City Physio

Nicholas Connolly Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I wish I could take Pavel with me on my current work travels. I have not been in Adelaide during the working week since prior Easter. Pavel was the best Xmas present for me in late 2020. He is without doubt one of the best massage therapists I have seen. At our first meeting he asked me questions and what my requirements would be and then translated this into a therapeutic sports massage. He is professional, engaging, has a great sense of humour and interesting to talk with. He also knows when not to talk so I can just lay back and enjoy the muscle tension release. Pavel I am looking very forward to my next sports massage with you. Cheers, N

City Physio

Hi Nicholas, Thank you so much for your 5 star review of your sports massage therapy treatment with Pavel at City Physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: Tore my hamstring last year playing Hockey. Saw Lauren and she did an amazing job not only helping me get fit for my grand final but also offering advice on injury prevention exercises. I'm now towards the end of preseason hitting personal bests in my time trials and hamstrings are feeling strong for the first time ever. Would recommend Lauren to anybody!

City Physio

Lauren always strives to help her patients with a comprehensive treatment and rehab/prevention strategy so that the treatment is optimal for each persons requirements. Good Luck for the Hockey Season! Kind regards from the City Physio team.

Scott Burgan Published on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: I went there for two sessions as part of a care plan from my doctor for a long standing back injury. I’ve seen lots of physios about it so I know what kind of advice and assessments should be done and only wanted to try them out here because it was close to work and easy to get to. The physio had no interest in doing a thorough assessment or talking through some of the pain triggers and what can be done about them. His entire idea of treatment was to stick his elbows in the muscles of my back for 20 minutes which just gave a temporary feeling of muscle looseness. He could have been talking to me through the pressure point massage but didn’t say a word. At the end of the first session he said come back again and we’ll talk about exercises for dealing with the issue. In the second session he did the same massage. At the end of the second session he didn’t say anything about exercises except to say your back muscles are looser today so they seem fine, come back in again if you’re having issues. No exercises or discussion of how to avoid pain triggers. The time of the elbow massage he was completely silent. Complete waste of time. No idea how the other physios are. Just mine wasn’t very good.

City Physio

Hi Scott, I am so sorry that you had this experience at the clinic & that I had not seen your review until just today, hence responding well after the fact. I sincerely apologise for that. We have been providing professional physiotherapy care for the people of Adelaide for more than 28 years and over that time have built up a very good reputation based on helping people when they most need us, helping people reach their goals and improving their quality of life. We pride ourselves in providing excellent care that aims to not only reduce your pain and symptoms but to assist you in longer term management of your condition or issues. I can't speak as to why you didn't receive ongoing advice or seemingly much interaction during your treatment session with the treating therapist. I can only say that I apologise that you had that experience. I will follow this up with all my current staff. I do hope that should you need any further physiotherapy treatment that you remain open to us helping you in the future. Please let the reception know that the clinic director has reached out to you and I will gladly make time for a treatment session with myself to assist you and further apologise. With kindest regards, Linda Shacklock

Andrew Palmer Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: They stick needles in me and it made my muscles spaz.. feels pretty good though.

City Physio

Hi there, we are really super glad that you are feeling better after your physio treatment at City Physiotherapy. It sounds like the dry needling that you received helped to relax your muscles after eliciting a twitch response. For anyone interested to know more, this usually indicates that we have targeted the dry needle to the centre of the tight muscles fibres or trigger point. This can really help to relax a tight muscle and trigger a chemical response in your brain to produce pain relief and a relaxation response via your nervous system. Essentially it is pain relief without drugs so that is pretty cool too. Many people think that it is going to hurt a lot but that isn't the case the majority of the time - it just feels different when your muscle is moving involuntarily in response to the dry needling.

Jenny Livingstone Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Karl, is a miracle worker! He’s very patient, will find another solution if the first method isn’t as successful as he’d like. He definitely knows his stuff. Thankyou.

Hi Jenny, thank you so much for your lovely 5-star review of the physio treatment you received from Karl at City Physiotherapy. At City Physio, we certainly believe our job is to nut out a solution that delivers the best possible outcome for you.

We are always happy to be of service when you need us. Regards from the City Physio team.

Shane Badman Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: After recently experiencing a burst disc in my back I booked in to see Karl at City Physio. Karl took the time to carefully understand why this injury occurred, then to developing a really good recovery plan. I ride bikes a lot, so getting back into it was pretty important to me. Karl set timeframes from the start which were spot on; something I feel his own background in endurance sports and rugby allow him some great insight. Karl was professional in all instances and took the time to answer any questions I had. He certainly knows his stuff. Very appreciative that he got me active again, in good time, and would have no hesitation in recommending him.

City Physio

Hi Shane, Thank you so much for your 5 star review of the treatment you received at City Physiotherapy with Karl. We are really pleased that you have been able to get back to what you love doing the most, being active and outdoors on your bike.

Glad to be able to help and hope you are enjoying being back on your bike again.

William Hingston Published on Google 6 years ago

Negative experience: A couple is 15 minutes late for 2 15 minute appointments (they completely miss the first one). I'm told they still will both go before me regardless.

City Physio

Hi William, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you feel as though you needed to leave without having your appointment today. I have had a chat to both my reception staff and your treating Physiotherapist about the issue that you have brought up and wanted to clarify what seems to be a misunderstanding. It is true that an elderly couple in their 70's had arrived late for the one of their two scheduled appointments and you had arrived early for your appointment. The couple were taken into a treatment room together, as that is what they would normally do and expect to gfo in together, and one of them was not late for their appointment. Your Physiotherapist was at that time not aware that you had arrived early for your end off day appointment.We understand that our patients have things to do, lead busy lives and their time is valuable and hence we always endeavor to keep on time to the best of our ability whilst giving you the best possible care and treatment. This is why our receptionist had tried to call you to see if you may have preferred to come in for your appointment 15 minutes later once realising the couple had missed one appointment of their scheduled two appoitntments. At almost the same time she then realised that you were at the entrance to our clinic about a quarter of an hour earlier than your scheduled time. We really appreciate patients being on time as I'm sure you appreciate us running on time too.Our receptionist informed me that she had explained to you that the couple would go in together, as explained they alwayse do, and that you were then disatisified with not being taken into your appointment some 13 minutes earlier than your scheduled appointment time, saying you felt you should take priority as you were at the clinic for your appointment quite early and one of them was late. I can understand that you did not want to wait any longer than necessary, however, one of the couple was not late and we could not overrule someone else's appointment time because you were early. It appears that you were unsatisfied with not being taken in early and assumed you would be kept waiting if they were both treated. Please let me explain further as keeping our patients happy is a priority of CIty Physiotherapy's.I was then informed that you then got up and left before my receptionsit could alert the treating Physiotherapist that you were indeed on time for you appointment and preferred to not wait any longer than necesary. She did not get this opportunity to alert your Physiotherapist as you had left the clinic even before your allocated appointment time was due.What could have happened was that if you hadn't left so suddenly and immediately given us a 1 star google review, assuming you were to be kept waiting a long time, was that she would have spoken to the Physiotherapist and even though one of the couple was receiving treatment, you could have then kept your appointment time, received your treatment and the person from the couple that had missed their appointment could have been treated after you. I hope that you will understand that this was a misunderstanding and that we hope that you will take up the opportunity to reschedule your appointment with us so we can make up any dissatisfaction that you have. We would also hope that you can see that we had never intended to not keep your appointment running on time as much as possible, that after 25 years of business and service to the people of Adelaide, we value our patients and their time and hope that you will remove your 1-star review.Thank you for your consideration and time and we hope to see you soon at the clinic. Kind Regards Linda Shacklock, Director, City Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak more highly of the professional, effective, superb service offered by Linda and her team at City physio. Linda is a highly experienced physio whose strong, targeted treatments have relieved me of back and neck pain and more recently, allowed me to address a chronic tfl injury. Linda explains her treatments thoroughly and works to not only treat, but prevent, further pain or inflammation. She takes time to understand your issue to ensure you are receiving the most effective treatment possible. Between treatments I have also received exceptional massage with Clodagh Glynn. I have had massage many times in my life but none as good as Clodagh whose physiological knowledge and technique is amazing. Thank you City physio for your exceptional service!

Fantastic experience: Last Saturday, I had the most amazing massage. I was impressed that my physio Ian Voo had given Clodagh Glynn (Remedial Massage Therapist) my history prior to the appt, though I suspect Clodagh would have found the spots anyway! While there were moments that required some deep breathing (haha!) I walked out with more mobility, feeling longer in the neck and with my shoulders more aligned. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Clodagh...I'm going back!

City Physio

Thanks for your lovely message regarding Ian and Clodagh's treatment and professionalism. We are very happy that you are feeling better and more aligned. Regards from the City Physio Team.

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but good things to say about the treatment I have received from Clodagh. I am currently training for a cycling event and have had an issue with my neck and shoulders. Clodagh listened to my issues and has helped me emenclly. I feel so much more comfortable on the bike now. Clodagh has a very pleasant and friendly manner. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing some treatment.

Fantastic experience: Dear Linda Thank you for your kind response, I wish Ian and his wife the best. Although my original complaint was toward how the customer service handle the situation, not the absence of the physio itself. But it irrelevant now. Google strangely don't allow me to reply the post nor delete the review. Only edit. At least I tried.

City Physio

Dear Vico, I am very sorry that you felt like the Physio had let you down today by needing to reschedule your appointment. Please let me explain. The Physiotherapist that you had an appointment with needed to leave at short notice as his wife was going into hospital with a medical emergency that had occured this afternoon. We wouldn't reschedule any patients unless there was a genuine reason. Our receptionist did send you a text to let you know we needed to reschedule as soon as we knew we had to and I believe offered you an appointment with another one of our Physiotherapists within a half an hour of your orginal appointment time. I believe you indicated that this time wasn't suitable for you today. Unfortunately we didn't have anyone that could offer you the exact same time as you had originally booked. Yes the health booking systems that are on offer only allow for a one way text service and that is why you would have been informed that a phone call was the best way to communicate with us for a two way conversation. As we were dealing with needing to reschedule a few patients today due to the hospital emergency of our Physiotherapists wife we may have not have explained this all to you in as much detail on the phone as I am now. I would like to offer you an appointment tomorrow or at another time if you are able to come in at a time that is mutually agreeable. We pride ourselves in providing excellent quality physiotherapy services and your one star review is certainly harsh given that we cannot control medical emergencies. I am asking if you would please consider removing your review as you now have a better picture of why we needed to reschedule your appoitment today and take up my offer to treat you as the director of our pratice personally or with a physiotherapsit of your choice at the practice. I am very sorry that you felt that we had let you down and I hope you allow me to show you how caring our practice and staff are. Kind Regards Linda Shacklock
