Sports Lab Drummoyne

Negative experience: I didn't like my experience. Little follow up exercises. I needed this to work and it didn't. I did send you the details of one of my 6 appointments. The other thing that Zac did that I did not appreciate is to joke about my age with his boss. Very unfortunate experience. Now looking for someone or some company that is more professional .What about any response. Am I wrong???

Fantastic experience: Huge thanks to Katherine . She did a great job.

Fantastic experience: David is awesome

Fantastic experience: Tess is a great physio! Had such a good experience with her

Fantastic experience: I’ve been visiting Sportslab for many years for physio, massage and Pilates. The team there are very welcoming and no issue is to big or small that they can’t help. It’s a very friendly and helpful atmosphere, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Zac Moukaddem has treated me for both a broken right ankle and, more recently, a sprained left ankle with a torn ligament. I can’t stress enough how much he has helped in managing my pain and recovery. Zac has an exceptional ability to quickly identify the exact problem and knows precisely how to treat it. He is extremely knowledgeable, gets straight to the point, and clearly knows what he’s doing. I highly recommend him and am truly grateful for the care and support he’s provided throughout my injuries. His expertise and knowledge is a clear reflection of his mentoring.

Fantastic experience: Zac is an absolute miracle worker. I’ve gone from being able to not walk to running again (with his encouragement ) I actually thought it wasn’t possible but it’s like he has X-ray vision and just knows exactly where to focus treatment. I also want to acknowledge the brilliant exercises that Court provided - together it is all working a treat!!! Thanks so much boys!

Fantastic experience: Dr Zac Moukaddem is great and helped a lot with my vertigo.

Fantastic experience: When my back seized up and I was in real pain, friends recommended Sports Lab Drummoyne. Even though it was a busy Saturday, I was welcomed due to my emergency and taken care of by Zac, a Senior Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist. I hadn’t slept all night, but after expert treatment by Zac, I went home and immediately slept for hours with no pain. I was so impressed with the care and the communication I received in follow-up sessions for my back that I have continued with Zac to deal with other issues that are part of being 79! I have bursitis and some osteoarthritis which has limited my movement. With Zac’s help I’m getting activity advice, exercises for joint mobilization and strengthening of muscles as well as soft tissue therapy. I now feel really positive about the possibility of improving my health. In addition to what Zac helps me with personally, he has introduced me to Courtney, another excellent physio at Drummoyne’s Sports Lab, who does the assessment for participation in a Pilates program for the over 50’s. The staff at Sports Lab are highly qualified, very professional, friendly and helpful and easy to talk to. I highly recommend them! Sincerely, A. O'Halloran

Fantastic experience: Big shoutout to Courtney who has once again successfully treated another part of my rapidly failing, ageing body! He’s always professional, caring and very knowledgeable about all things ‘physio’. He’s also very funny! I highly recommend you pay Courtney a visit if you want a speedy recovery.

Negative experience: I have had two experiences at this facility and neither have been particularly pleasant - hence 1 star for each experience. The staff pick and choose to whom they share their courtesy and I am clearly not on their list of being made to feel welcome. The services they offer, for me, fell well short of expectations. I guess if you fit their mould of worthy, you will be fine. God help you if you do not.

Fantastic experience: An Outstanding Physiotherapist – Zac Moukadden at Sports Lab Drummoyne I cannot recommend Zac Moukadden at Sports Lab Drummoyne highly enough. From my very first session, Zac impressed me with his professionalism, deep expertise, and genuine dedication to helping his clients achieve real results. He took the time to listen, understand the full scope of my injury, and tailored a clear, effective treatment plan that made a real difference. Zac brings an incredible combination of clinical knowledge, hands-on skill, and an encouraging, empathetic approach. He doesn’t just treat the symptoms—he focuses on the root cause, and works with you to prevent future issues. Each session was not only effective, but empowering. I always left feeling more confident, educated, and motivated in my recovery. Thanks to Zac’s guidance and support, I’ve achieved a level of progress I honestly didn’t think was possible when I first started. Whether you’re dealing with a sports injury, chronic pain, or just want to move and feel better, Zac Moukadden is the person to see. Truly one of the best in the field.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Zac for migraines for about 2 months and I feel like a new person. If you get migraines you know how debilitating they are, how they control everything, constantly avoiding triggers, cancelling plans, so much medication! I’m 32 and have sought treatment on and off for 10 years both in Aus and the UK and Zac is the first person who’s made a lasting difference. He identified the cause of my migraines (a seemingly separate issue in my shoulder which no one previously connected) and treated both shoulder and neck together. Alongside exercises which I’ve been doing daily and minor adjustments at the gym, I haven’t had a migraine since! I still get the odd headache from the usual triggers like humidity but the constant tension and migraines have gone. When I first met Zac and he suggested he could cure my migraines I practically rolled my eyes after years of false promises but he wasn’t kidding. Ive also stopped almost all medication which was something I’ve been desperate to achieve and there’s been no unrealistic lifestyle adjustments or preventing anything I enjoy e.g. working out. Very highly recommend and thank you!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to quite a few Physios and Chiros over the years but non have impressed me as much as David Pugh and his staff. The front desk were efficient and very helpful. Then David asked my history. He listened Tested me. Told me what was wrong and gave me a treatment plan, including daily exercises, relief advice, a timeframe of recovery and next steps , and confidence I was in good hands within 15min. Then treated me and relayed exactly what I’d told him and his professional assessment to the massage therapist, Emma Breslin, who understood and knew actually what she was doing when massaging me. It’s only been two days and I’m feeling better physically and therefore mentally already. I can’t not recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Shannon the podiatrist was thorough, caring, knowledgeable and funny! Great professional service. I feel hope for recovery from a debilitating foot issue.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Zac for headaches, neck and jaw pain and really happy with the treatment so far. He knows his stuff! All my dealings with the team have been great too.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Zac from sports labs. I had been experiencing sore neck and shoulders for a while and this had got worse with a week where I had pain down the left side of my face in my jaw, teeth, and behind my eye. My dentist thought this might be due to grinding my teeth, and the pressure that put on the other muscles in my face, neck and shoulders. He recommended me to Zac and after one session the pain went away. I was finally able to sleep without any pain for the first time in a week. I have seen a lot of physios for neck and back pains, but it didn’t occur to me that this pain could also be linked to my face, teeth and my jaw. Would highly recommend Zac if anyone has similar symptoms.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Dave enough! His expertise as a physio is evident in every session. After a frustrating experience with a previous physio at a different clinic, Dave has been instrumental in my shoulder rehab, guiding me with care and precision. I've seen significant improvement under his guidance, and I'm grateful for his support. Five stars all the way!

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Courtney for the outstanding job that he’s done in restoring my physical mobility and quality of life. I came into Sports Lab with multiple issues - a very tight neck with limited motion, throat pain, tight back and poor posture. Through his tailored physiotherapy sessions and exercise program, Courtney was able to help me gain back normal functioning that I didn’t think would be possible to get back. I no longer have tightness in my neck (I can move it freely in any direction), the pain in my throat has resolved and my back/posture has never felt better. Furthermore, I have also gained significant improvement in being able to speak without tension and pain through the part of the session focused on vocal physiotherapy. My voice is now clearer, stronger and freer compared to before our sessions. I would absolutely recommend Courtney to anyone that is looking for a physiotherapist who is highly skilled, experienced and knowledgeable in what they do and is truly dedicated to helping their patients achieve the best outcome for their physical recovery. I am so grateful for what I’ve achieved through physiotherapy and I owe a big part of that to the guidance and expertise of Courtney as my physiotherapist. Thank you again Courtney for all your help!

Fantastic experience: I have been suffering from bad headaches for many months. Zac instantly relieved a headache that had been sticking around all morning. He is amazing. I only wish I came to him earlier!

Fantastic experience: After a disappointing experience at another physio clinic, I attended the Sports Lab where i met Zac. From the beginning he was enthusiastic and motivated and offered options. As I had some time restrictions, he went out of his way to ensure I got in to see the Orthopaedic surgeon without delay and continued to follow up to make sure things were happening. Thank you Zac. Love your work!!

Fantastic experience: Podiatrist Doctor is just amazing. Will be using this business for all my chiro rehab requirements as well. Thank you Sports Lab.

Fantastic experience: A huge thank you to Kieran who was fabulous when I ruptured my Achilles recently. He fitted me in unexpectedly and provided wonderful advice and assistance to adjust the boot I had, that had been fitted incorrectly elsewhere. He took the time to explain and answer questions, and was hugely helpful. Thank you Kieran.

Fantastic experience: Zac treated my sore leg. He was professional and his knowledge speeded up my recovery. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Zac treated me post surgery. He was very professional and shared a lot of his knowledge to assist me with my recovery. He was always patient and went beyond to make my post surgery experience as smooth as possible. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Very good level of service and assessment

Fantastic experience: My GP referred me for debilitating migraines to Zac at Sportslab in Drummoyne. To be honest I wasn't expecting for my migraines to get any better but I had to give it a go. Five sessions later, my frequent horrible migraines have stopped, no need to take harmful nurofens that have damaged my kidneys because of prolonged use. Zac is a miracle worker. The clinic staff are super polite and helpful. I would highly recommend Zac and Sportslab for your physiotherapy needs.

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend this place enough! I suffered a concussion 5 years ago and was still suffering from migraines, headaches, tightness around my neck and tenderness. Went to multiple places and wasn’t able to fix my issues. I came across Zac a senior physiotherapist specialised in headaches/migraines and after a few sessions my neck tenderness disappeared, intensity and frequency of my migraines alleviated to the point where I hardly suffer like I did for years. Staff are super friendly and they’ve accommodated to everything. Just recently I tore a ligament in my knee and now I’m having such a speedy recovery thanks to the rehab with Zac and Sports Lab staff!

Fantastic experience: BIG shout out to Dr Luke Ross! His treatments are incredible. He is so attentive, knowledgeable and provided a range of modalities in our sessions that really helped my back and hip pain! Highly recommend, Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Saw Luke for my back, really helped. Great Chiro!

Fantastic experience: Zac and Dave helped me throughout my injury. I had ruptured my ACL and they helped me battle through it mentally and helped me get back stronger than ever! After 1 year of pain and struggle, I have signed a professional contract here in the second division of Greece and I wanted to thank Zac for all his help and expertise in the gym and Dave for his knowledge on injuries and teaching me the correct techniques and exercises. Appreciate all your help! Thank you

Fantastic experience: I've had a chronic history of mid back and shoulder pain and Luke's adjustments and dedication has revolutionised my life. He is so knowledgeable, I walk out with a new piece of information yo share with family and friends. I NEVER walk out scratching my head, since he explains everything so well!! 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: I saw Luke the Chiro for my low back, and had significant relief. He used adjustments, dry needles, and a cool traction bed that felt awesome.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been resistance training for a couple of years and have a pre-existing back problem. From the moment I started my sessions with Zac I have had better overall mobility and confidence. He’s not only diagnosed new injuries but helped me get through it! His expertise in all things exercise physiology has put me at ease and given me belief that I can continue training. I cannot recommend Zac enough! Thank you to the entire Sports Lab team!

Fantastic experience: Professional clinic with highly knowledgeable and experienced staff, especially Zac who I saw for my chronic neck pain and migraines. My headaches are non existent after a couple of visits. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I just saw Jenny at the Drummoyne Sports Lab for a remedial massage following a 10K race I did on the weekend. She was wonderful. She started with a quick assessment of my flexibility before moving onto my treatment which has certainly left me feeling less tight and sore than when I went in. She also extended my session from 30 minutes to an hour with short notice which I am very grateful for. Thank you Jenny, I will be back!

Fantastic experience: I am absolutely blown away by Zac from the Sports Lab Team @ Drummoyne. Currently facing a very nasty knee injury, I was frightened and so very confused about my next step. I cannot explain how supported I felt both physically and emotionally after my session. My future, and this recovery, after an upcoming operation , doesn't appear so frightening anymore. Thank you to the Sports Lab Team and most especially, thank you Zac. I won't be going anywhere else and will be recommending all my family and friends. What an asset Zac is ! Above and beyond my expectations.

Fantastic experience: I have been to many places before sports lab for a bad shoulder and other issues with no success. My GP recommended Dave Pugh at sports lab and from the very first consultation the advice and service was top notch Coming into my third year being seen at sports lab and seeing a variety of remedial massage therapists after Physio with Dave I am yet to have a bad experience. My shoulder is better than it has ever been (and I mean ever - as far as I can remember it was not good!). I am playing more sports (ice hockey and soccer) and less issues! If you need a Physio or remedial massage I can not recommend sports lab enough! I am yet to have even a mediocre appointment and I am pretty fussy! I’m sure without sports lab I’d have an array of injuries/ still have shoulder pain that has impacted me since my teens.

Fantastic experience: Nothing is a problem always great service and willing to help always

Fantastic experience: Shannon assessed my feet for orthotics and provided a very detailed and thorough recommendation which was individualised to me. As a health practitioner myself, I was very impressed with Shannon's attention to detail and have not had an issue with my orthotics since. I would highly recommend Shannon's services to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I use the podiatrist services at Sportslab Drummoyne. I see Shannon every 4 weeks and my feet are in top condition due to his professional care and his advice to treat my feet between visits. The advice includes correcting footwear/ suitable urea cream/ orthotics/ and general foot care tips. Shannon is very caring and friendly. I always enjoy my visits and my feet thank me every time. I thoroughly recommend Shannon and Sportslab Drummoyne.

Negative experience: We unfortunately were provided poor service by Shannon Hurvitz. He has ordered custom made insoles for my 3 year old daughter telling me that they will be 60-70% covered by our private health fund. We have the top cover and I was shocked to find out that only 15% of their very high cost was covered. This is quite a big misinformation from someone who works in this field for a while. In addition to this Shannon wanted to charged us for a consultation that lasted for about 3 minutes and during which all he did was he cut out the insoles to my daughter’s size and sent us out, no medical information was discussed at all. I basically came to pick up the insoles and could easily cut them out myself. When I complained about not having a consultation Shannon who already ran away once we stepped out of his office has offered us a discount over the phone. I refused a discount and he reluctantly agreed to charge the private health fund only. I find this illegal to charge a patient even a ‘no gap’ fee for the medical consultations that were not provided. We have also seen Tara, a Physio specialist a few times and she has performed an excellent job. This review does not correspond to her. Unfortunately, we will not be able to keep coming to Sports Lab due to this fraud that took place. I hope the management will react accordingly.

Fantastic experience: I’m very thankful for Zac for his professionalism and work ethics done for my troubled back. After 2 sessions I’m almost pain free and feels my started to breathe again. Work long hours as a hospitality operator, he just knew what to do. I will recommend to anyone of his service. Thank you Zac for your care . Amazing work.

Fantastic experience: Staff are friendly and know their stuff

Fantastic experience: Am blown away by the care and support that Zac has shown for own son. Long story short, our 15yo son rolled his ankle and tore the ligaments on either side the day before a major sporting tournament. We rushed in to see Zac and he was sympathetic to the fact the poor kid wouldn’t be playing in the comp, and went out if his way to explain what the injury was, why it happened and how he would treat it. We’ve been back twice and each time Zac has offered to strap the ankle and even gave us his number in case we had any questions. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Zac, thank you so much for being amazing at your job and for being so kind and supportive. We are very comfortable knowing that our son is in your care and he loves the chats, explanations and banter when he is there. We have told all our friends and our local club about our experience and now we’re telling everyone on Google. Folks, if you ever need a Physio in the Inner West, please call Zac and the team at Sports Lab Drummoyne.

Fantastic experience: When I first came in to sports lab 2 years ago, I had many lingering physical issues which are now a distant memory. Zac went above and beyond to help me resolve these problems and I’m now in the best condition I’ve ever been in. Zac is an incredibly talented physiotherapist who cares immensely about his patients and has a great personality. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Fantastic experience: The amount of compassion, care, and professional guidance we have been given for our daughter who is an athlete has been an understatement. Sports Lab have gone above and beyond to cater for her needs. Not only there ablity to work with my daughter but alongside us as parents, guiding us with instructions and support has been greatly appreciated. I would recommend them with the highest regard in profession, and care! Zac you are a amazing asset to the company! We are forever gratefully for the guidence care and many laughs you have given on the many roads to recovery!

Fantastic experience: Zac was very attentive , highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Sports Lab Drummoyne for over a year now. They have successfully worked through my injuries and I am now completely mobile and pain free. I can't recommend this team enough!

Fantastic experience: Luke Ross and the team of chiropractors at Sports Lab Drummoyne are super friendly, knowledgable and show a clear passion and care in what they do. Highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: The entire Sports Lab business, including the Drummoyne practice is very well run, professional and friendly. The Physio and massage service provided is always staffed by professional and highly qualified practitioners. I trust no one else apart from the team at Sports Lab to look after my sporting injuries. I cannot recommend them highly enough

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a very happy customer of Sportslab Drummoyne for over 10 years and I can honestly say that the quality of service, support and care is absolutely first class. The whole team goes above and beyond in terms of understanding the various injuries and then works closely with you on a detailed treatment plan. First class team wholly focused on achieving the best outcome for their patients.

Fantastic experience: Yet another fantastic session at sports lab, what a professional organisation. The clerical, physiotherapy and massage staff are all amazing! My two kids have preventative treatment every fortnight and since taking this approach have now been completely injury free for over 2 years now. Thanks Sports Lab!

Negative experience: Absolutely horrendous, rude and mean staff. I have never had such horrible experience ever in my entire life. The rude receptionist wasn't able to take payment from the credit card and started yelling at me for no reason at all. My card was working fine. She entered wrong details and wasn't keen to hear if I was reffered there or which account to select. In her defence came another extremely uncouth staff shouting "don't be seen around this building". After ten minutes of struggle the receptionist was able to make card work somehow but then came her excuse for not talking properly "the payment thing isn't easy out here"... Seriously! You visit a physiotherapist when you are in pain physically, least you can expect is a friendly behaviour.

Fantastic experience: I got messed around by a nearby Physio at the last minute prior to a scheduled appointment for my 12 year old daughter. With no appointment other than a desperate phone call to the Sports Lab at Drummoyne, I was invited to rock up. Zac attended to my daughter between his appointments. Without Zac she would not have been ready for her Volleyball try-outs the next morning. Terrific and very caring service from the Sports Lab at Drummoyne - keep up the great work Zac. We've adopted you as our family Physio! Many thanks John

Fantastic experience: Super interested, knowledgeable & professional staff .. I highly recommend. They get you back on track to do the things you want to be doing.

Fantastic experience: The most professional, dedicated and compassionate practice you could ever wish to have looking after you. David Pugh is unsurpassed in his knowledge and experience and (along with other members of his team) with great empathy and understanding looked after my severely disabled mum's physio needs at home for several years. He has got me personally back on my feet from dibilitating back pain several times and just recently from knee injury which left me virtually unable to walk at times without severe pain. Already have and will continue to recommend these guys in a heartbeat to anyone. Thanks Dave and your team for everything you have done for us.

Fantastic experience: Maria is excellent.
