Fantastic experience: Steven is fantastic! He provided a thorough explanation of how my shoulder 'should' work and why it wasn't (beyond my obvious wipe-out) and what I could do to get back to normal. Following his advice and completing the exercises I'm happy to say that my shoulder is back to normal. I highly recommend Steven and Southport Physiotherapy.

Thumbs up Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I had a car accident and met Steven for my humeral fracture recovery. My orthopedic told me I'm getting better quite faster than he expected. It's all thanks to Steven! He's very nice and tidy and will make you comfortable. I feel so much better now and I'm still seeing him even though I moved my place little bit far from him. He's a real good physio! 한국인 환자가 몇몇 있는 재활센터입니다. 영어가 서투신 어르신에게도 천천히 친근하게 응대하는 모습이 인상적이였습니다. 상완골 골절로 재활을 받고 있는데 친절하시고 질문에 대한 대답도 매우 꼼꼼하게 해주십니다. 이사 후에도 다른 센터로 옮기지 못하고 거리가 있어도 다닐만큼 잘 해주십니다. 추천합니다!

Fantastic experience: Stephen is an excellent practitioner and offers excellent treatment with specialised equipment where necessary.

Steve Barker Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Steve since January after an operation on my shoulder. 3 tendons were torn from the bone, my surgeon told me I would be off work for 6 to 9 months. Thanks to Steve’s help and expertise I was able to go back to work after 3 1/2 months of Physio. I find Steve to be extremely knowledgeable and has a way of explaining my injuries which was easy to understand. I enjoyed going to the Physio because I could see my improvement week by week. Steve is very easygoing and professional. I will have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in need of Physio therapy.

Ellen Parker Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I recently hurt my neck and had some serious pain along with difficulty turning my head, sleeping, driving etc. A friend recommended Steve, and I am so thankful she did! I was nervous that the treatment would cause more pain but he was so careful and gentle with me. Provided me with some at home exercises after the first treatment and was back to normal, everyday life after a second visit. If you have any neck troubles (or any troubles in fact), I recommend seeing Southport Physio Centre. Thanks again Steve!

Thanks for the awesome feedback Ellen. I'm so pleased you feel better. All the best for the future.

Fantastic experience: Steve has looked after me and my family for years. Thanks to him my very active mother reached 91years of age and during her final months Steve kept her moving at her own pace so as to have good quality of life. We appreciate the support given her. The benefit I receive from ongoing maintenance helps me get through the week as he has given me the right advice for my conditions. Thanks Steve.

Southport Physiotherapy Centre

Thanks for your kind words Gaylene. It's been a pleasure treating your whole family over the years. See you next time!

Jeff Mathews Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Steve was recommended by my surgeon after a major rotator cuff repair. His expertise and knowledge of the shoulder was immediately apparent with his ability to deal effectively with the recovery. A very professional approach and responsive to any questions was immediate. I would have no hesitation to recommending Steve Gordon to anyone requiring his service.

Southport Physiotherapy Centre

Thanks for the awesome feedback Jeff. I'm so pleased you had a great experience.. The next thing we need to do is get you back on the golf course!

Joan Buchanan Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Steve Gordon by my orthopedic surgeon who replaced both of my shoulders during the past 3 years. I am in my late 80's and fortunate to find a surgeon who would take on the job. The post operative physio by Steve on both occasions was excellent, and by following his advice on the exercises enabled me to regain full use of my shoulders much sooner than my surgeon expected. My husband who is close to 90 also had excellent treatment from Steve for a shoulder tendon problem from which he made a good recovery. At our age we have had many physios but have found Steve to be the most knowlegable and caring physio we have experienced. Joan and John Buchanan

Southport Physiotherapy Centre

Thanks for your kind words Joan. I'm so pleased I could help with your recovery and you and John feel better. All the best.
