Hi, Paul. Thank you so much for leaving us an awesome review!
Fantastic experience: None better for sports injuries, strains and getting back in the game.
Fantastic experience: Gavin is an incredible physio. I’ve had chronic back pain for at least seven years and thought I would live with it forever. Regular sessions with Gav over a couple of months means I squatted with no pain for the first time in many years recently. I’m extremely grateful for his knowledge and help - highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Gavin! He’s an exceptional physiotherapist who truly knows how to diagnose my issues. He’s also really easy to talk to and always takes the time to listen to my concerns. While Gavin is my main physio, I also had the pleasure of seeing Des when Gavin was away, and he’s just as great! I can’t forget to mention Amil, the in-house massage therapist he’s incredibly talented and has a tremendous ability to ease pain during injury recovery. The online booking system is super user-friendly, and the receptionists are always friendly and helpful. Overall, they make a wonderful team! I’m more than happy to recommend Gavin, Des, Amil, and everyone here!
Fantastic experience: Really nice and helpful team. Joel got me back on track in no time

Fantastic experience: Great clinic. Staff are friendly, organised, and accommodating. I have only been treated by Joel 3 times, but in the few sessions, he's given me a lot of relief in my neck, which on my first visit could barely move it. He's been able to assist with some of my other physical ailments outside of what I presented for. His light massage work techniques, relevant home prescribed exercises, and dry needling have worked a treat. Thank you so much guys!
