Negative experience: I wouldnt recommend this place. Chris was quite inappropriate making weird comments throughout the session. Also he didnt give me confidence that he understood the problem. Was never able to articulate clearly. I would definitely avoid if possible. He actually damaged the area i came in to get treated so badly I was stuck in bed for 1 week after coming in mobile. Be careful all!

Fantastic experience: Stephen is an amazing physio who assisted me physically and mentally throughout my ACL rehabilation. It was a pleasure to recover under his guidance and expertise.
Fantastic experience: Chris and Stephen worked on my back and within 8 weeks fixed it. I had had ongoing issues with my back for 10 years prior to that and had tried 7 different physios and some chiros. That was 6-8 years ago and to this day when I feel my back starting to hurt I use their exercises to nip an episode in the bud before it happens. They are the guys I recommend to everyone who asks. I'm leaving this because I'm recommending them to someone else and needed to find their address. I highly recommend them
Fantastic experience: Very professional Physio, Christopher knows his stuff, I highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I have been to prestige health for rehab on two ruptured ACL Injuries. They are very professional and know exactly how to help you with what you want to achieve. All around top blokes aswell.
Fantastic experience: My wrist has been feeling sore for a few months and I’ve tried to do stretches and home remedies I searched up in google or recommendations by friends who’ve had injuries but only notice it getting worst. I visited Prestige Health Physiotherapy and Stephen not only fixed my wrist but every appointment with him was very educational, he also does a great job making his clients feel comfortable. He showed me the proper way of doing the stretches, exercise, and strengthening that is meant for my injury and in a month my wrist is no longer swollen and the pain is gone. Maybe recovery time would have been shorter if I didn’t forget to do an extra step he told me to do. Highly recommend this place!
Fantastic experience: Very caring and attentive to your injury
Fantastic experience: Many thanks Chris for the excellent physio program you had set-up that successfully healed my shoulder injury. Your professional collaboration with my shoulder specialist helped me recover with confidence over time. Much Appreciated Divina Gray

Fantastic experience: Stop looking for a physio - Steven & the team will sort you out. Top quality service and awesome people to be around.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! I have just completed a course of treatment on my lower back by Stephen and am very happy with his service. Stephen is friendly, caring and experienced. He did a thorough examination at my first visit and was able to identify my problem straight away. He then went on to teach me the exercises that helped with my recovery which were very effective. I’ll definitely go back to him if I have any problems in the future. Also, thanks Stephen for your gardening tips and the cuttings!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic physio right here - highly recommend! Thank you Stephen for helping me return to sport pain free!
Fantastic experience: I had a severe shoulder injury and was referred to them. I was able to get my range of movement back by first week. Can’t be more grateful, Stephen is the best and he will work with you towards the plan and your goals.
Fantastic experience: This was the first place I went to for physiotherapy where they did such a thorough diagnosis of my condition. I had lower back pain which Chris (one of the physios) was able to give a diagnosis of 'Anterior pelvic tilt'. He was very professional, understanding and was more than happy to explain the exercises and tests he did. Will come back again if I have future problems!
Fantastic experience: Best sevice and attention to detail with recovery physio yet for multiple issues and repeat knee dislocation. Chris and Stephen are always welcoming. Chris has helped me dramatically improve my slow recovery. His natural passion for physiotherapy and aiding your recovery can be seen a mile away. In depth analysis & attention to your in needs. Parking right out front. Couldn't ask for better. Thanks again !
Fantastic experience: Finally, I find Physio who can really fix my problem in only couple of treatments! Stephen has been very professional and courteous, importably he knows what he is doing and gives a lot of strectching advises which actually work. Only a couple of visits, fix my back and thumb problems which I have suffered at least in the past 12 months or even longer with my back. I highly recommend Stephen !!
Fantastic experience: Prestige Health Physios are highly dedicated and knowledgeable professionals!! I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to achieve long-lasting changes effectively and support each step of the way to recovery! You'll be in the safest of hands :) Thank you so much for helping so many people, you're a true asset to the community :)

Fantastic experience: Having an on going mid back issue, I was referred to Prestige Health Physiotherapy. From the get go, Stephen was courtesy and professional. The treatment and care given, helped in resolving my issue and I would like to thank Prestige Health. I would highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Just want to say thank you to Chris at Prestige Health Physio, he came recommended by friends and he was honestly the best choice of physio for my 13 year old son that had to have ACL surgery. From the moment we met Chris he was professional, caring and informative. The fact that he basically mentored my son through his 12 months of recovery with patience and first hand experience made his journey so much more easier. His experience and quiet confidence is second to none, not to mention he had my sons knee well and truly stronger than it was pre injury before the given timelines. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: After trying a lot of physio's around Sydney, Chris was the only one who could quickly and effectively help my lower back pain. He is very knowledgeable and really cares about his patients.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and healthcare! Chris met me over a number of weeks about a sore shoulder. I appreciated the time he took to explain the issue and how the prescribed exercises would help. My shoulder is much better and I have a set of exercises I can always return to if needed. Would recommend to all.
Fantastic experience: Excellent personalised care and attention to detail. Chris made me feel very well looked after and my sore back improved significantly
