Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Lauren for many years and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is dual titled and has helped me with a number of different issues over the years, always taking the time to properly understand what was going on and work out the best way to help. On more than one occasion, she has helped me with issues that I had struggled to get properly resolved elsewhere. Her knowledge, experience and ability to look at the bigger picture have made such a difference. I have always felt listened to and in very capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable and genuinely caring physiotherapist.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending group classes since Feb 2024. Physio Bec has been my physio from the beginning, her experience and fun makes these classes the highlight of my week. They help my pain and I’m stronger in more ways than one. The reception staff are friendly and welcoming. I Highly recommended Bec!

Fantastic experience: I love coming to Optimal Health Lab group classes. The care and attention I receive from staff is exceptional. I have been attending group classes with physiotherapist Bec, who brings such high energy and expertise to every class. I love the sense of community she facilitates which makes coming to each class an absolute joy. Great environment and I highly recommend Bec.

Fantastic experience: I had my initial consultation for the first time this week and had an absolute amazing experience. Super accomodating staff and made me optimistic about achieving my fitness goals through reducing my pain. A very clear and well structured plan and would 100% reccomend Bec and the Optimal Health Lab.

Fantastic experience: After open heart surgery in my mid-70's, I'd reached a plateau in rehab classes and gym workouts. I asked OHL what ti could add to my rehab. I've been benefiting ever since from custom-designed combinations of studio Pilates and studio Physio that inspired me at 83 to return to XC skiing. My first winter on snow, I simply could not do the standard recovery from falling over. A year later, I might have needed two years to restore strength and agility, but I'm now at 85 fitter than when I was 75.

Fantastic experience: Got referred by my GP to the Optimal Health Lab to see Caroline and work on reversing my osteopenia and honestly, I didn’t expect it to be this entertaining. After three classes, I can confirm it’s equal parts pain, laughter, and therapy. Coming in post-night shift zombie state, Bec and Lauren somehow read the room (and my fatigue) perfectly, tweaking the exercises so I survive another day. The other members deserve an Oscar for comic relief, it’s like group physio meets comedy club. Somehow the laughs make the pain worthwhile, and I actually look forward to going back minus the pain. Best part, it’s treatment and a gym class rolled into one, great for my bones and my wallet.

Fantastic experience: Darcy has been my go-to physio for the past couple of years, helping me manage and overcome ongoing back pain. I joined the group physio classes and have never looked back. I feel stronger than ever. The team is incredibly caring, client-focused and always provide the best advice. They constantly adjust and progress the exercises, challenging muscles I didn’t even know I had! I truly love being part of this community – it’s made such a positive difference to both my strength and confidence.

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome clinic, 1/ it wasn't so long ago that I was unable to kneel, walk down stairs (going up was fine) and had constant pain in my knees. Move forward after diagnosing the actual problem and working with me to build muscle to support the knee and i am pain free and doing things i thought were lost to me. 2/ my shoulder was a real problem and had been for many years, again after working out what the issue was and working with me to build strong muscles (and yes you can as you get older it just takes persistence and application) i am pain free and stronger that i have been for decades. 3/ Osteopinia, It was diagnosed and we immediately implemented changes to my clinical pilates class to begin rebuilding the bone density and keep up strength training. I love my classes we create a great community and my objective is to have my next Bone Density test showing improvements like one of my class mates.

Les Barnes Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Many medical facilities feel quite process driven and not very personable. NOT THIS PLACE! Everybody really cares and it shows. You're not a number, you're a client that matters to them. Such a great feeling when you're trying to resolve long term injury issues.

Senae Travers Published on Google

Fantastic experience: After 5 long years following a car accident and over 20 different physios, I have finally found a physio I can swear by. I have been visiting Lauren and the OHL for about 12 months now and have noticed a huge difference in my injury, pain and work capabilities, which previously no other health professional had been able to help with. I cannot recommend the Optimal Health Lab anymore.

Ben Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Great team and service :)

Chris Platt Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I injured my back trying to move heavy garden produce. I was in absolute agony. A friend recommended Lauren Campbell at The Optimal Health Lab and I have just improved each time I have seen her. In just a week I am able to bend and walk again. I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough. I have been to many physiotherapists over my many years but none have come close to Lauren.

Magic Barclay Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Great crew. Lauren & Mike have been great. Treating my back pain has been a process but Lauren has been very helpful.
