Fantastic experience: Amazing practitioners and service.
Fantastic experience: Firstly very clean and private practice Secondly the are amazing in my opinion After a painful treatment in another practice I decided to find a different practice This is when I landed to Benn... 3rd visit to this practice and Benn my work injury on the sulder was so much improved Another 4 visits after that and my situation belonged to my past Highly recommended with no second thought
Fantastic experience: Kylie-Anne has been an amazing physio helping me with massaging and providing exercises for a problem hip. I’ve been able to reduce the pain and manage any tightness beyond our sessions and have loved her friendly care and support through my journey.
Fantastic experience: The amount of detail and expertise was awesome
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Rian for the last month or two. His professionalism and knowledge are fantastic, and we always have a nice chat. There is great improvement in my shoulder and neck already. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Rian and Ben at Take Control for recovery and strength conditioning. I had a meniscus and ACL reconstruction and worked with them on my recovery through customised physio, pilates and strengthening classes. They are empathetic, genuine, caring and go above and beyond for their clients, and tell a few jokes along the way. Enjoyable and rewarding classes of four, the sessions are fantastic and I would highly recommend. My knee surgeon is very impressed with my speedy recovery.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service. Staff are so friendly. I highly recommend coming here for all physio needs!
Fantastic experience: Ryans persistence with my back and general strength and conditioning is next level! well done guys
Fantastic experience: Kylie-Anne is the first physio to make a difference in my pain and daily management of it. She and everyone at Take Control actually cares about you and wants you to get better. The physio app included comes with videos of stretches and the techniques they use are above anything I’ve experienced elsewhere where you may just get a heat pack shoved on you for $100/hour. Thanks Take Control!
Thank you Emma - we really appreciate you taking the time to send through your lovely review. Cheers from the Take Control Team :)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely wonderful team of professionals who have a lot of knowledge and empathy for their patients. I honestly would not be walking if it wasn't for this team. They worked out what was going on with my body which many Drs & Physios prior couldn't. I would previously be dismissed & discarded by many medical professionals due to the nature of my injury & medical issues. This clinic not just undertook general physio or complex issues but also had a women's health professional. Mitch is a phenomenonal physio & pilates instructor who has helped me over a number of years. This clinic has literally given my life back to me. Trish took me on many years ago & got me into all the right people. Jacob & Ben are also incredible physios who are patient & understanding. Maria is always so kind and friendly which makes this feel like a supportive family. Thank you, Take Control.
Thank you so much - this means a lot to us and we are so happy that you found us (we think of you as family too!) Cheers from the Take Control team!
Fantastic experience: What a relief it has been to finally find someone who really understands how to get me out of pain and back on track. After seeing over a dozen chiropractors and other physiotherapist for 20 years, no one provided a solution to stay out of pain and gain better mobility more than Mitchell and the team at Take Control. I have also enjoyed the mobility and strengthening classes, which have made all the difference to keep me in good health. Thanks guys for providing such a helpful service.
Thanks Peter - we're so happy that you found us and we love having you in our classes. We really appreciate you taking the time to post :)
Fantastic experience: When no one else found the problem for my back pain over the last 13 years, their team of friendly experts found the problem in the first session. I've also come back for other issues. They're worth travelling for (I've travelled for physio services that were nowhere near as good).
So happy that you found us!! (great coffee around here too if anyone needs a bit more incentive...!) Thank you so much for your review :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent care. Extremely knowledgeable and attentive to wholistic care. Highly recommend Mitch Brown.
Thank you for your lovely review Shellie, we really appreciate you taking the time to post!
Fantastic experience: I've had just about every sports injury imaginable so I have seen my share of physios but I can confidently say that mitch is the best I have encountered; friendly, knowledgeable & a great communicator.
Hi, Dave. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Cheers from the Take Control team :)
Fantastic experience: Impressive professionalism of everyone in the practice, and the expanded floor space of the practice have been beneficial for both the team and the clients. Need to emphasise, it’s the people/ the team that makes the whole place work well. And most of all, they fix me up every time, no fail, definitely a very satisfied client.
Hi, Jose. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Cheers from the Take Control Team :)
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t speak more highly of the practice and the incredible staff that work there. Highly recommend Mitch Brown. A compassionate and dedicated professional whose holistic approach to treatment has helped me through various injuries over the past few years. You’ve only got one body and the team here know how to get you back to full strength in a tailored approach that works with you and for you.
Hi, Harrison. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Cheers, the Take Control Team :)
Fantastic experience: Since being referred to this clinic in May 2022 I've been nothing but happy with the care I've received! The knowledge Trish has is amazing and its great to see her teaching the junior staff. Technology devices to measure muscle engagement and strength were utilised during my treatment in which I've not seen at other clinics. My primary physio is Bek and I have to say she's a world of knowledge, her assessments are extensive and thorough. I've been seeing physiotherapists for a decade now on and off and l have to say for a physiotherapist in her early career I'm really impressed. She goes above and beyond to help her patients which separates a great practitioner from the average. She's empathetic, professional and frankly just a cool person. The clinics front desk receptionist Maria is a lovely woman, making you feel right at home. The clinic has great facilities with a pilates gym and weights. I also saw a woman's health physio for pelvic floor investigations and have learnt plenty. Bek and Trish got me to a point where I am not a regular client and only come back as required. I would highly highly recommend to anyone needing physiotherapy, I went from not being able to walk due to severe pain to weightlifting and the gym with big goals.
Hi, Amanda. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you so much for the stellar review!
Cheers from the Take Control Team :)
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Jacob for some time about various issues some of which are chronic. He has treated me diligently and guided me through the exercises that have vastly increased my mobility and managed my pain. There is no doubt Jacobs treatment has delayed the need for surgery for which I am eternally grateful. I am relocating and fear I won't be able to find a service that matches the Tale Control team.
Fantastic experience: Always professional and great service at Take Control Active Rehab. Highly recommend for any of your rehab needs. Therapists are highly trained in all areas of the body. Especially recommend Jacob he helped relieve pregnancy related aches and pains. As well as improve my mobility, making for a much smoother pregnancy and labour.
Fantastic experience: My physio Mitch went above and beyond to tailor a targeted treatment plan based on my needs, and would adjust each week depending on my feedback and progress. Highly recommend! A truly person-centered allied health service.
Fantastic experience: Great personalised care by great caring people. Not your average physio with supreme expertise over others. For my condition which has its peculiarities, they have banded as a group to solve my issues and have a dedicated plan to get me back on the right path. Thanks to Jacob, Dagmar and Roxan for their persistent care.
Fantastic experience: Easily the best Physio I’ve encountered. After a serious injury, I was left feeling like I had to “deal with it” and suffered ongoing pain and loss of mobility and saw countless doctors/physios/surgeons to fix or manage it. My Physio Jacob was not only able to fix the injury I needed fixed but also gave me ways to manage pain daily. The treatment he provided was tailored to suit me and my lifestyle and to ensure I could still partake in activities. He provided wholistic treatment which has changed my quality of life, and has allowed me the freedom to do basic tasks I couldn’t before, and to get back to sports. He has excellent knowledge surpassing any medical professional I’ve encountered previously and was able to give me stretches, exercises and tips which I still continue to use frequently should I experience pain. Practice staff are always friendly, professional and management should pride themselves on building a team of such wonderful people. Treatment rooms are always clean and tidy. I can’t thank Jacob & the team at Take Control enough, no words will ever express my gratitude.
Fantastic experience: I have found Jacob very supportive, helpful and always interested to change my program to suit my changing needs.
Fantastic experience: The physiotherapists at Take Control have been helping in the management of my chronic condition for the past three years with care, expertise and professionalism. They are kind, friendly and encouraging, and have helped me meet my rehabilitation goals. Thank you take control!
Fantastic experience: My experience with them was wonderful! The clinic has top professionals who are very dedicated to our recovery. In particular, I have a lot to thank my physio Jacob who took care of my recovery with a lot of love, patience and dedication. Always very attentive to my improvement, he did his best! Today I can say that I owe him a lot of gratitude!
Fantastic experience: Definitely miracle workers and the highest quality physios I've ever been to. Big thankyou to Trish and Jacob for their awesome help. For the first time in years I don't have constant hip pain which is a huge relief. Highly recommended to anyone suffering from chronic pain. So impressed with initial assessment and proactive program tailored for holistic care. Very happy to have found them.
Fantastic experience: Trish and her team are fantastic. When I first visited Take Control, I had limited movement and saw no escaping my pain. Trish and her team have been a godsend and has helped me get my physical health back on track. Her understanding of the female body is second to none and I highly recommended Take Control for anyone suffering chronic pain.
Fantastic experience: The team at Take control are very friendly , caring and accommodating. Great Bounce Back programs for rehabilitation. Pilates classes are also great as they work back with my rehab plan from physio to ensure we continue to strengthen the areas needed to support my injury. What I love most is that they work Together to help their patients get results , to be more pain free or better mobility. Highly recommend Take Control Active Rehab
Negative experience: Had a horrible experience! Very culturally insensitive. Never did any of the exercises and the physio kept saying how I was improving because of them (despite not doing them). Very expensive and poor resources
Hi Joumana, we are very sorry to hear that you were not happy with your experience. We have a wealth of resources and issued you with a Physitrack account which tracks exercise adherence. We are deeply sorry for that you did not achieve your goals however exercise is a large component of your recovery. Please contact our office if there is anything we can assist with as we would be more than happy to help you reach your goals.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional staff who care deeply about change and functional improvement. Excercise physiologists working alongside world class physiotherapists delivering flexible holistic peogrammes.
Fantastic experience: Jacob is THE MAN i travel far and wide for his great results with me. Hip problems slow recovery but compared to the years of pain worth every step.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and accommodating staff. Well worth travelling for treatment.
Fantastic experience: I have multiple injuries and was referred to the Take Control specialist team by a physio after unsuccessful treatments. They are highly experienced, knowledgeable and are specialists within the field. The team have assisted me in making progress and working toward goals.
Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked in the door of Take Control I knew this was a very professional organisation. Staff really take the time to find out what the issues are and work consistently to achieve the best outcome. I am delighted I found such dedicated health professionals. Certainly the best physiotherapists I have received treatment from.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Take Control Physio! The personalised individual attention and specifically designed program has been the key to building and maintaining my personal goals. Trish along with all of the staff are amazing!
Fantastic experience: I have come back to Take Control after too long away and putting up with niggling issues for too long and couldn't be happier with the level of care provided. The staff are professional, knowledgeable and personable. They are realistic with helping you and understand how busy life is. Reception staff are also lovely which makes such a difference!
Fantastic experience: The clinicians at take control are amazing. They took a personal interest in my case and helped me battle through a very hard period. They have gone above and beyond! ! ! Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Take Control Physio. Classes are small, and each person has a specific plan at each session. It's like having your own personal trainer, and you know your exercises are safe because you're working with experienced physios. The equipment they use helps to make the most out of your workouts, and you're guided in good technique. I highly recommend checking it out!
Fantastic experience: If I could give them 10 out of 5 I would! I've been seeing Trish and Mitch at Active Rehab for the past two years and have noticed a huge improvement in my chronic back pain which I've had for about 12 years. I'd seen numerous physios, chiros, osteos, specialists etc over the years with no noticable improvement but Trish was the first person to really understand what was going on with my body. I'm now doing pilates classes run by the physios weekly and am going from strength to strength. I can't recommend Active Physio enough - I'm so glad I found them!
Fantastic experience: I have been going here for a number of years. I have had a number of the different staff treat me for injuries in the past and each are knowledgeable and professional. For me as a dancer, I was given exercises and treatment suited to my physical exercise. They go beyond just the visits with the ability to contact the physiotherapists via email if there are any issues prior to our next appointment. Even now that I have moved further away, I intend to continue to visit them if I ever have an injury requiring help. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good physiotherapist.
