Patients frequently commend the team for their ability to listen carefully and provide undivided attention, ensuring that every treatment plan is customized to the specific condition at hand. The clinic is widely regarded as a place where patients feel truly valued, with many noting that the staff goes above and beyond to explain procedures, ensuring clients understand the 'why' and 'how' behind every intervention.
Expertise in Sports Rehabilitation and Pain Management
The practice is highly recommended for its effective management of sports injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical recovery. Therapists are praised for their deep knowledge of body mechanics and their skill in combining various techniques to accelerate healing. Patients have reported significant improvements in mobility and pain reduction after sessions with specialists like Fabian and Henry, who are noted for their accurate analysis of conditions and their ability to restore function, allowing clients to return to activities such as running, gym training, and daily movements with greater ease.
Unique Exercise Programs and Holistic Wellness
Beyond traditional manual therapy, the center offers distinctive exercise programs designed to enhance mental resilience, balance, and postural strength.

These sessions are described not only as physically beneficial but also as enjoyable and fun, helping individuals achieve their fitness goals in a controlled environment that minimizes the risk of further injury.
A Warm, Family-Like Atmosphere
One of the most highlighted aspects of the patient experience is the exceptional interpersonal dynamic within the clinic.

Hi, Rod. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: I can not tell you how wonderful the team at Physio by design are. I have been seeing Fabian and Katie for more than 4 years, they are very professional, caring, and understanding of my injuries. I feel so welcome when I arrive, greeted by friendly staff at the desk and by beautiful Winnie, the therapy dog, who calms me and gives so much comfort. Thank you all.

Hi, Lynda. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Top notch physios! I've been seeing the team of Henry, Grace and Fabian for a couple months now for right and left shoulder issues. After each appointment, there was definite improvement in mobility and a decrease in pain. Henry started my journey with a full and accurate analysis of my condition - offering temporary but immediate pain relief along with some simple exercises as home work. I then met Grace, who made me laugh through the ouchy sessions. She was one of the best dry-needlers I've ever met, and suggested simple yet effective exercises to improve my condition. Then there was Fabian - the owner of the practice. OMG, he did things to me that I felt brought him joy whilst I was simultaneously crying and laughing . He used a technique on my shoulders that I never experienced with a physio before. I hurt after that session but walked it off. But something amazing happened. The night after that session, I had a full night's sleep - didn't wake up once with the normal pain that would usually cause me to wake up a dozen times a night. The second night after, in also slept right through. Do you know now what it's like to sleep well after not getting good sleep for months! If absolutely glorious. Thank you team -including all the assistants and trainees - who have helped give me a pain-free, sleeping-again life back to me!!
Hi, Steve. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!

Fantastic experience: Having had a number of injuries over my years, I've seen a number of physios who have all been beneficial, but none have provided the level of experience and holistic approach which Fabian has.

Hi, Rob. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Fantastic experience: I honestly couldn’t be more thankful to have the care and compassion of the whole team at Physio by design as part of my life. After seeing several physio’s over the years and believing the title was similar to “snake oil salesperson”, these guys have happily proved me wrong. The in depth knowledge of body mechanics, combined with the strengthening exercises and massage treatments have helped me time and time again. From the moment you arrive, to after you leave (with follow up and check in messages) you’re made to feel as important as family.

Fantastic experience: AMAZING !!! I was highly recommended physio by design and they didn’t disappoint. From entering and being greeted by Winnie the dog made my day. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and a credit to the practice.
Fantastic experience: Have had the pleasure of being treated by Fabian, Alex and Henry. All excellent and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing treatment. Whole staff are awesome. Winnie has been very therapeutic for a number of people that have come into the clinic. She is not perfect and has a barked a couple of times over the 40 or so visits but who is perfect…
We are elated to hear about your positive experience at Physio by Design. Thank you for recommending our team!
Fantastic experience: I attend Physio by Design on a regular basis. I am chronically ill. Fabain, Katie and the Physio by design team all treat me with such dignity and respect. This clinic also has the fantastic advantage of Winnie the therapy dog. Not only is she a wonderful calming presence for me during my sessions, giving me the ability to get through some otherwise distressing situations, she manages to brighten my day from the moment i arrive. I love the vibe at physio by design. The sharing of knowledge, happy to help any way they can and they always have great tunes playing too! Highly recommend:)
We are truly pleased to hear about your positive experience at Physio by Design. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Our family have been seeing Fabian for 14 years now for all our physio needs whenever we get " broken" in life. He's amazing and we always come out of his practice with results and feeling better. Truly talented at what he does and just a great human being as well. Very approachable. Before he owned his own practise we would follow him wherever he worked.Recently we have been seeing Katy as well who also works her magic on our injuries. Our family would never go anywhere else. BEST PHYSIO EVER. THANKS GUYS.
