Our comment from PhysioFinder.net about Sports Lab Alexandria:
A Comprehensive Approach to Rehabilitation and Pain Relief
Sports Lab Alexandria is widely recognized for its multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, chiropractors, and allied health professionals who work collaboratively to address complex physical issues. Patients frequently highlight the clinic's ability to look beyond surface symptoms, employing a holistic strategy that integrates manual therapy, exercise prescription, and education. Whether dealing with chronic back pain, post-surgical recovery, or sports-related injuries, the center is praised for its thorough assessments and tailored treatment plans that aim to restore mobility and long-term function.
Expert Chiropractic and Physiotherapy Care
The clinic’s chiropractic services, particularly under the care of Dr. Luke Ross, have garnered numerous testimonials for their depth and effectiveness. Patients describe him as highly knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to understanding the root causes of their conditions. His approach often combines spinal adjustments with dry needling and lifestyle advice, resulting in significant improvements for many dealing with mobility restrictions, migraines, or pelvic health concerns. The physiotherapy team, including practitioners like Tom, Jess, and Courtney, is similarly lauded for their diagnostic accuracy and ability to expedite recovery through targeted exercises and manual techniques.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing the chiro Dr Luke Ross for a number of years now, and he has been amazing for getting me my mobility back. He listens, cares, and has even adapted treatment and strengthening exercises to work with my weak areas. I am so grateful for the amount of effort he has put in to see me improve my ability to walk and move around more readily. I can't recommend him highly enough.
Fantastic experience: I feel so grateful to have found Luke Ross for my chiropractic care. He is so thorough, takes the time to listen, understand and explain everything going on, and made me feel comfortable especially when discussing women's health concerns. He has been able to explain things around endometriosis and the menstrual cycle better than any health professional I've ever seen. His lifestyle advice and care has made such huge improvements for my back pain, period pain, and the stress I was dealing with around these issues. Couldn't recommend Luke highly enough!
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to see Luke from Sportslab approx 18 months ago, and have had an amazing experience. Luke is dedicated, kind, and thorough. He listened to my tales of woe, and has been helping me ever since. I am so pleased with my progress - his techniques, along with my homework, have enabled me to move more freely than I have for a very long time. I cannot thank him enough!
Fantastic experience: highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable, highly professional, really friendly and respectful staff who treat clients with great dignity. They are Absolute experts in physical therapies. Thank you for helping me with both my lower back and podiatry.
Negative experience: I had a visit here with my baby as his head was quite flat. I had two sessions and I was told that would suffice and that his head was going to change/ fix with exercises etc. I was quite concerned but I trusted the process. Unfortunately he is now almost 1.5 years old and his head is still flat and there is now nothing more I can do about it now.I am really disappointed with the level of expertise to be honest and cannot recommend this place for babies/ children. We are now in a situation where we just wish someone had paid more attention to him or referred us on elsewhere. The people were nice of course but the outcome was not good. Editing to say that someone commented saying they can't find me in the database, we are absaloutely in there I wouldn't take time to comment on a business if it hadn't seriously impacted my child and future life for them, aesthetically it is bad and unfortunately I was given bad advice from a professional and I hope other parents see it and same thing doesn't happen them.
Hi Claire - we are very sorry to hear about your situation. We apologise for the delay, but we have been looking for you in our database and cannot seem to find you anywhere. Is there any way you could please contact Sports Lab Alexandria and let them know your child's name incase the record in under that?
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Luke for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always takes the time to understand what’s causing the problem rather than just treating the symptoms. His chiropractic treatments have made a huge difference, and the dry needling therapy has been especially effective in relieving muscle tension and improving my recovery. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Luke genuinely cares about his patients and goes above and beyond to help you achieve the best results. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced and caring chiropractor.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Luke at Sports Lab Alexandria for chiropractic care and couldn’t be happier with the results. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and takes the time to really listen and understand what’s going on before starting any treatment. Every appointment is thorough, and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. Luke explains everything clearly, which gives me confidence in my treatment plan, and I never feel rushed. His friendly, caring approach makes every visit a positive experience. I highly recommend Luke to anyone looking for a chiropractor who genuinely cares about his patients and provides exceptional care. Thanks, Luke, for helping me move and feel so much better!
Fantastic experience: Luke is a fantastic chiropractor. He is very thorough and tailors each treatment to my needs at the time. He has helped me with both my jaw issues and women’s health concerns. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Luke!
Thank you for your incredible 5-star review! We are so pleased to hear that Luke's thorough, tailored approach has helped you with your jaw and women's health concerns. We appreciate your high recommendation and will pass on your feedback to Luke!
Fantastic experience: If you’re dealing with sudden back pain and don’t know where to turn, I highly recommend chiropractic services by Luke at Sports Lab Alexandria. I first came in with a severe lower back pain from a herniated disc, with no idea how to manage the pain or recovery. Luke was incredibly knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, and made me feel safe and supported. I really appreciated being offered various treatment options, insights into outcomes, and tools to manage at home. Highly recommend!
Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Luke and the chiropractic services at Sports Lab Alexandria.
Fantastic experience: Luke is amazing! He’s a phenomenal chiropractor who has been helping me get to the root of my problem and reduce all my aches and pains. He goes above and beyond to understand the human body, and I love that he has a special focus on women’s health. I highly recommend Luke!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are delighted to hear about the incredible results you’ve had working with Luke.
We are proud to have him as part of the Sports Lab Alexandria team, and we highly appreciate your recommendation.
Fantastic experience: LOVE Luke at sports lab! He listens to your concerns and the AMOUNT of education he does is inspiring! Always keeping up to date, not just in new chiropractic case studies and information but ALSO in women’s health!!
Fantastic experience: I recently had a back injury and was seeing Jinoo Lee, he was very professional and he is excellent at seeing and fixing the issue. I have been to many physiotherapists in the past and he is the best I have ever seen. I would highly recommend Jinoo Lee . Thank you for helping me recover.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Sports Lab and specifically Jess Cassidy has been an incredibly positive and beneficial experience. Jess is such a warm, friendly, knowledgeable person and in 2 sessions has completely reframed my coccyx pain and has given me new tools and a new approach to how I am experiencing it. I am so impressed with the holistic approach Jess has taken and I’m so grateful to have been treated by her. Thank you so much Jess. Thank you also to Matias who relieved so much pain from massage and was also so warm and friendly. Super impressed with Sports Lab
Thank you for your feedback Josie, it is always great to hear about happy customer experiences! I will be sure to pass this onto Jess :-)
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Sports Lab has been so friendly with every interaction! I’ve been seeing Luke Ross for chiro and he’s not only helped so much with both new and pre-existing issues but has also explained everything along the way, giving so many helpful tips to work toward improvement. Could not recommend enough!
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you've had friendly interactions with everyone at Sports Lab.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for years, the staff know me by name. They never fail to provide an easy and relieving experience. Recently I have had a back injury, I’ve been seeing Kevin and Luke for regular therapy and they never fail to provide the pain relief I need. Special shoutout to Tom for doing his sessions pro bono as I am currently unable to work. Thanks so much for all you guys do.
Fantastic experience: A few months ago I had the pleasure of seeing Rachel (dietitian) who helped me navigate my new gut conditions. She was kind, caring, curious and friendly. Above all she was so comforting and supportive of my goals and journey. My family has had some bad experiences with very judgemental dietitians and so being treated and helped by Rachel was wonderful. Thanks to her I now feel much more aware and in control of my gut.
Fantastic experience: Jess at Sports Lab Alexandria is incredible! I've had a sore back for 3 years, and within 3 mins, she diagnosed the issue and helped me fix it in 2 sessions. She has great bedside manner, an impressive depth of knowledge and gave me a set of exercises to keep me flexible and pain-free. Thanks Jess!
Fantastic experience: A great experience and service given by Matias - an extensive approach to not only treat my muscular issues but also advice in preventing. A very comprehensive one stop shop.
Thanks Steven, so glad you got to experience the expertise of Matias. Very kind review much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Helen and James for awhile now and have found that in within the short time working with them they have not only reduced my pain but have been helping me manage my pain/symptoms the best they can to ensure i can continue to work. I highly reccomend Helen and James to anyone. Helen is a very positive and highly informative physiotherpist. She not only is knowledgable from her years of experience but is always open to continuing to educate herself as she sees each patient. She always provides great instructions to her exercises and often thinks outside of the box when it comes to treatment. James has always provided amazing massages. Hes aware of the appropriate pressure to use for his patients and adjusts to your needs with each session. James always goes beyond for his patients and has always goes in with an open mind. I would reccomend Helen and James to absolutely anyone. They have done more for me in the last few months than an specialist has done in the last 8 years.
Hi Brittany - Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we very much appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Ana Giorgio gives the best massages ever (also shoutout to Matias)
Thanks Gerrit! It is always nice to hear lovely feedback about our therapists. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review!
Fantastic experience: I've been a customer of SportsLab for some time now. More recently, I've had the privilege of receiving exceptional physiotherapy care from Jess. I can confidently say that she is truly amazing at what she does, and I especially recommend her to anyone seeking pre/postnatal support. Throughout my journey, Jess's unwavering expertise, support, and attention have played a vital role in improving my physical and mental well-being during pregnancy and postnatal stages. She consistently creates a comfortable and nurturing environment, and after each appointment, I always feel rejuvenated and well-informed. If you're looking for an amazing, educated and skilled physiotherapist, Jess is the one to go to.
Fantastic experience: I booked in to see a massage therapist for an ongoing strain in my left shoulder, which I let flare up. I was paired with Matias and had 2 sessions with him so far. He has alleviated 90% of the pain and almost got me feeling back to normal. So very grateful. He is very knowledgeable and uses great methods to help fix the problem. Definitely recommend seeing Matias and everyone at Sports Lab Alexandria are super friendly and welcoming. Thanks guys
Thanks Melody for you lovely words. So glad your getting back to your best!
Fantastic experience: I went for assessment and management of a long-standing hip issue. Jess (physio) was incredible with her knowledge & management. She gave me a very straight forward explanation of my condition and various strategies to use (thankfully, I wasn’t overwhelmed with too many at-home exercises I would inevitably never do)! Matias (massage therapist) is incredible. I still go for therapeutic massages and like his mantra that ‘you might dislike me now (when he is getting his elbow into muscles) but you’ll love me afterwards’. This team is amazing. It’s made a massive difference to my training & physical ability. I am so thankful I discovered them.
Positive experience: Disappointing. Went to see the podiatrist about a problem with my foot when i ran. They checked out my foot and told me I needed expensive insoles. Went and saw the physio who checked out my whole leg and it turned out to be a fatigue/strain with my tibialis anterior and ITB. All fixed now, but no thanks to the podiatrist and their expensive carbon fibre insoles. 3 stars instead of 1 star because the physio who corrected the issue also worked at this clinic. #podiatristfail
Fantastic experience: First session today, amazing work on my hip. Tom listens and is an exceptional physio. The receptionist is really nice. Thanks
Fantastic experience: I have been going to sports lab for the last year or so and can't recommend them enough! I tore ligaments in my knee and didn't think I'd see the end of the season but Tom had me up and running within 8 weeks! I had also been dealing with shoulder pain for 5 years, had been to every kind of therapist and nobody could give me an answer. Tom and Daniel had it sorted within 3 weeks!! From the receptionists, massage therapists, chiro to physios they are just the greatest bunch and I'd like to thank them all!
Fantastic experience: Great team with excellent service
Negative experience: They called me in late then sent me out at the original time before the receptionist didn’t want to give me a refund for the time missing. For the price of the consult, it was very disappointing.

Fantastic experience: I visited Sportslab due to a sports-related injury. I can really recommend this physio. I saw Courtney and he is awesome - ask to see him :-)
Thanks Sarah. We love Courtney as well. Glad we could help you out.
Fantastic experience: Great service from what is clearly a very experienced and knowledgeable team. Highly recommend.
Thanks Adam. Much appreciated. Glad we could help out!
Fantastic experience: Sportslab, Where have you been all my life!! Absolutely the best Physio/Chiro. Tom and his team really work hard to put you back together. Highly recommended.
Thanks Sophie. We love being part of your recovery journey!!!
Fantastic experience: I visited the sports lab in Alexandria. I was treated by Luke Veverka who I was extremely happy with his treatment and the results from it. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Luke’s an absolute genius. He’s shown me a heap of stretches and movements to help me not only improve my form in the gym but also deal with ongoing posture and muscle issues. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Just quickly wanted to thank Luke and the team at sports lab for getting me back on track and fixing my injury. Luke is very knowledgeable and I cannot highly recommend enough to anyone struggling with back pain.
Fantastic experience: Always had a good experience with the physios here!
Thanks Christian. Much appreciated
Positive experience: This place oozes intuitive ambience. I've played a lot of basketball, and Luke is a switched on, instinctive asset to the team
Fantastic experience: Prior to receiving treatment for my back/neck at sports lab Alexandria clinic I was very nervous and hesitant as working for an insurance company I have processed claims and heard many horror stories and injuries gone wrong by physio/ chiropractic practitioners . I was referred to see Luke V by a colleague of mine and I am honestly so so grateful I did !. Luke is an absolute well of knowledge and maintains a high standard of professionalism At all times. Luke was happy to address all of my anxieties and questions around receiving treatment and after my first few sessions my neck/ back pain had improved immensely. A true professional and expert in his field . I would recommend Luke to all friends, family,colleagues hands down. A true lifesaver ! Thank you Luke you are an absolute angel !
Thanks Ashleigh. Much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: I have had lots of problems with my knee and after x-rays and GP appointments, I was recommended to Sports Lab at Alexandria. Tom and David have both achieved amazing results so far. My whole experience at Sports Lab was professional from making the appointment with the receptionist Michele, who was very helpful and friendly, to seeing Tom and David. Great environment, thanks Sports Lab
Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Sportslab more highly!!! I have had ongoing back pain for years and have visited numerous Chiro's and Physio's in that time. Sportslab Alexandria is the only practice that has taken a genuine interest into fixing my problem long term! They actually listen and respond efficiently. They are thorough, educated and ambitious when it comes to not only repairing the damage but strengthening techniques + exercises, helping me get back to my old self. Thank you for the ongoing support and dedication!
Fantastic experience: After seeing a few different chiros for my back, Luke was able to give me the best assessment and rehab program to get me “back” on track. Cheers mate
Fantastic experience: Before seeing Luke i was dubious about chiropractic treatment as i had seen other chiro's in the past, one who had actually made one condition worse, and i was afraid it would happen again. Luke is unlike any chiro i have been to. He is not a 10 minute quick fix in and out sort of person only interested in how many patients he can see in a day, he actually cares about his patients and took the time to actually assess what was going on with me and found the issue I had been troubled with, that others before him were just to lazy or not skilled enough to find. His advise was knowledgeable and his approach was calm and I felt at ease straight away. I also genuinely felt that when he said I needed further treatment it was actually warranted because he cared enough to take the time to find out what was going on. I would definitely recommend Luke to anyone without hesitation. Thank you Luke :)
Thanks for the 5 review. We agree, Luke is awesome.
Fantastic experience: Recently I was treated by Dr Luke Veverka and I am so impressed with how great I am feeling. I highly recommend Dr Luke as he is extremely understanding to my condition and he knew exactly what to do. I recommend Luke to anyone who has sever pain issues and migraines. Susan Aspinall
Thanks for the 5 star review. Much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to quickly write about my amazing experience with Luke the chiropractor at your facility. I had been recommended through a friend to see Luke. I've always been a bit antsy about who I see for my health related issues -coming from Gold Coast, but I can happily say I was in safe hands. As soon as I walked in to meet him he was nothing but helpful and was quickly antentive to my needs. He was very patient and went through all of my past history. Working through stage by stage, I have been back only a few times now and can say I'm almost back to 100% recovery. Being heavily into my training and long working days - I have never felt more confident with my training as it's a massive part of my life. Thanks again guys and I would definitely recommend !!!!
Thanks Brooke. Amazing to hear.
Fantastic experience: At 27 I was told that I would require spinal surgery due to a severe injury in my L5 S1 discs that absolutely shattered me. I spent a year and a half of pain killers and seeking as much treatment as possible for it but was still in pain and unable to train. Over the 18 months I gained a massive 12 kilos and the pain got worse and worse. I finally received treatment from Luke the chiropractor and Tom the physio and with the continued treatment I was able to begin training again. In the last 4 months I’ve lost 9.5 kilos and I’m so strong now I’m doing F45 classes 5 times a week. I owe so much to these incredible practitioners. Without them I’d still be in a horribly dark placed riddled with constant pain everyday. My gratitude is endless for the skill set Tom and Luke have as they’ve literally changed my life.
Hey Indi, thanks for your very kind words.
You have been a pleasure to work with.
Fantastic experience: I came to see Luke at the beginning of the year with a few back problems. From the second I walked in he was more than accommodating, polite and still to this day does everything he can to help me out from check ups to general advice. He is so professional, has amazing customer service and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for an amazing chiropractor!
Thanks Sarah for the kind words and 5 star review. Glad we could help!!!
Fantastic experience: Can not fault anyone here for their professionalism, courtesy, kindness and service. It's so incredible to see people passionate about what they do, and this transpires in every treatment I've had here. Luke is especially fantastic at what he does, and if you are in need of a chiropractor I would recommend him to any of my closest family and friends in a heartbeat.
Thanks Adriane. Much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Well trained and experienced practitioners. Great location.
Thank you so much for your kind review; we very much appreciate it!
