Hi there,
Thank you so much for this - but I think you meant this for a local restaurant near by!
Fantastic experience: The whole team at Elevation One are super knowledgeable, friendly, and every time I've come in with a new sports injury I've walked away educated and with ample tools for successful rehab. Not only that - the practice has helped me with injury prevention; physio Kim's encouragement and expertise in weight/strength-training (something I never pictured myself doing previously) has got me hooked and stronger than I've ever been! :)
Thanks so much, Evelyn! We're so happy you resonate with what we're all about! Keep smashing out those weights - getting stronger and stronger!!
Fantastic experience: Massive thanks to Phil for helping me recover from MCL injury and gain confidence!!
Thank you so much for your review!
Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Phil who did a great job providing evidence based and individualised rehab following my ACL reconstruction
Results don’t happen without effort, and you’ve definitely put in the work! Loved seeing your progress - you smashed it!
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities, convenient location, plenty of parking and super practitioners!
Hey Jeff,
Thanks so much for your review!
Fantastic experience: Phil and the entire team including the receptionist has been very friendly and accommodative with my appointments , Phil has been exceptional, he knows the protocol for ACL rehab well, and has been holistic with my return to sport journey, making recommendations all a variety of sport related exercise to prepare me. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad that we've been able to make your rehab journey a positive one. It's been an absolute pleasure supporting you through your ACL recovery - keep up the hard work, and we're always here if you need anything!
Fantastic experience: Kim was the best physio I've had hands down. She was very professional and flexible to my needs, especially when I wasn't up for some exercises. Additionally, she was very lovely to chat with and made my experience a very positive one. Previously, I did not enjoy much physical activity, but Kim really helped me see the positives. She has also given me easy but effective exercises I can do on my own, which my other physios have not done. Overall, the best physio I've been to.
Hey Autumn, it's been such a pleasure to see your progress from session to session! We can’t wait to see what comes next for you!
Fantastic experience: Great, great service. From being in the reception and a customer coming in flustered and staff helping calm and support her. To Phil who's been my physio for the past 10 years. Phil is great and always explain things to your level. If its just basic knowledge or you need to know more details he'll continue to help explain in different ways to help you. Tests that help you clearly see where your struggles are. Helpful emails after your meeting with tailored training and more detailed information of everything discussed. They aren't the closest to me but I'd always travel for this service!
Tails!
Thanks so much for the kind words mate. It is always a pleasure working with you, and we're here whenever you need us (which is hopefully not too often, haha).
Fantastic experience: All the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Really nice facility too. I felt seen and heard :)
Hi Juliette,
Thanks for your review! We pride in being patient centred and love that that came through!
Fantastic experience: Saw Kim for an tendinopathy injury that wasn’t getting better for about 9 months, either by other Physios (other centres that had misdiagnosed) or rest. Kim quickly diagnosed the issue and after discussing health goals we structured and implemented a rehabilitation plan, which was successful. Now pain free and so thankful came across Elevation One Physiotherapy!
Thanks so much for your review Julian, it's been a pleasure to watch you smash your exercises!
Fantastic experience: Seungmin was spectacular !! helped me with my knee pain and laid out a perfect recovery method that suited my needs.
Thanks for your review Jacob, we're glad we can help you on your road to recovery!
Fantastic experience: Seungmin made our first session incredibly comfortable and effective for my partner’s neck pain. He was friendly, professional, and put us at ease throughout the entire session. We look forward to continuing our sessions with Seungmin and highly recommend him!
Thanks so much for your review, Negar! We're glad that we were able to help with easing your partner's neck pain!
Fantastic experience: Phil was fantastic - he was professional, personable and gave me a personalised treatment plan which got me back on the basketball court faster than expected. Would highly recommend Phil.
Thanks for your review, Alex - you crushed it!
Fantastic experience: Phil, is a professional who makes sure he has a full understanding of you physically and what you want to achieve. He tailored rehab for me to get better at my chosen sport. He gave me the knowledge and confidence to know when to push through or hold back. I can’t thank him enough.
Thanks for your review, Nigel. It's been an absolute pleasure working with you on your return back to sport!
Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment with Kim today - lovely and thorough. I'm confident with continuing my physio journey with Kim and Elevation One Physiotherapy.
Hey Elizabeth,
Thanks for your review. Keen to get started on this journey with you!
Fantastic experience: Phil is an absolute legend! You'd have to work hard to not get along with him - his enthusiasm is inspiring and how he engages in his work is a genuine comfort. Always up for a challenge and always 100% transparent with you. Has helped me tremendously. 10/10
Hey Alexander,
Thanks so much! We love what we do and we’re so glad that translates through. You’re always such a pleasure to work with!
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure with Phil best in the business
Thanks for the review Marcus. It's always great seeing you, mate!
Fantastic experience: Found this physio centre through the Google reviews. This place is the best I have visited. Kim is so caring and professional with a thorough knowledge of my knee issue. My knee problem has been fixed with 3 sessions and Kim also provided a long term plan to strengthen my knee . A very reasonable price and does not over-treatment. Highly recommend this place. Phil is also a very nice and pleasant too.
Thanks so much for your review, Ping! It was a delight to treat you. Keep up the hard work
Fantastic experience: I've been to a few physios and Phil is truly the best by a long shot. I never feel robbed like with other places. He doesn't push you to see him frequently, only as required. Totally fixed my back issues and then created a full proof long term plan to strengthen every aspect of my body. Must also mention he is very reasonably priced.
Thanks for your review, we really appreciate it! As they say - you can't go wrong with getting strong!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, modern and clean practice. I highly recommend Kim and cannot thank her enough for her work rehabilitating my dislocated elbow. I was told by my surgeon my elbow would likely never be straightened again. With Kim’s help, knowledge and thorough rehab plan I’ve walked away today with a straight arm. Friendly staff with great communication throughout. So grateful for your help.
Belinda!!!
Thank you, you're so lovely! It's been amazing getting to know you through your journey back to FULL range of motion and normal elbow function! You smashed it - keep up the awesome work!
Fantastic experience: The team at Elevation One have provided excellent service to me and my family. We’ve seen them with a range of sports (and age) related injuries. They have treated the injuries in the short term and then provided longer term exercises and movements to ensure we can keep moving along. Couldn’t recommend them higher.
Hey Christian, thanks for your review. It's always a pleasure treating you and the fam.
P.S - you're no way near old enough to complain of old age mate :P
Fantastic experience: Phil has been so professional kind and fantastic getting Kate back into rep netball and able to sprint 100 and 200m at CIS athletics! Couldn’t achieve this without Phil’s expertise!
Glad we could get her back into sports so swiftly! Huge props to Kate for all her hard work!
Fantastic experience: Phil truly goes above and beyond to ensure recovery and wellness. A complete professional with outstanding knowledge and a commitment to ensuring his clients feel empowered in their own recovery. Beautiful and well-equipped facilities equates to an all-round physiotherapy practice that includes both massage and exercise. I would not hesitate to recommend Phil at Elevation One to anyone who will stand still long enough to hear me rave!
Joanne, you're too kind!
So nice to hear from you, it was such a delight working with on your road to recovery. You put in the hard yards and that made all the difference !
Fantastic experience: The clinic is really clean and spacious. Phil was really personable, asked lots of questions to make sure we go to the bottom of the issue and was very knowledgable. I would definitely go back if I needed further treatment and recommend to someone needing a physio.
Thanks so much for your review Libby - glad we could be of help!
Fantastic experience: Such a great physio. Kim was fantastic getting me back on my feet from a calf injury with such great up to date advice. I couldn't have gotten going without the extra help. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Always sort out my issues and spend the time to make sure your programs are targeted. Never feel like you’re just another paying customer.
Thanks for your review, Will. Such a pleasure treating you, keep up your hard work!
Fantastic experience: Kim is one of the best physios I have ever been to! She helped completely transform ongoing knee and hip pain that I’d been experiencing for most of my adult life. I followed her from Seaforth Physio to Elevation One and will continue to return to Kim as I need to. I highly recommend Kim for anyone searching for a new physio.
Hi Maddie,
Thanks so much for your review! We’re so happy you’ve been able to get in control of your pain and have loved being on that journey with you :)
Fantastic experience: I am over 60 and had seen several physio before Phil is by far the best. His enthusiasm is contagious and his encouragement made me feel young again. He had not only fix my problem but also strengthen my weaknesses so that I can enjoy my life more. Thank you Phil.
Thanks so much for your lovely words, Barry. Your attitude has been phenomenal and it was such a pleasure getting to work with you! Keep up the awesome work

Hey Sara,
Thanks so much for your kind words, its been awesome watching you become more and more in control of your issue!
Fantastic experience: An extremely high quality, personalised and caring practice. I went to Phil to treat my sore knee (quadriceps tendinopathy) and received several excellent treatments. It was super tailored. He set me up with a daily routine as well as extra information and advice to minimize re-injury for the future. You can immediately tell that he cares and is invested in your wellbeing. Elevation One has become my go-to recommendation. Keep it up, guys!

Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly service. Excellent treatment and no pressure to commit to multiple future appointments. Highly recommended.
Thanks Adrian, your kind words are much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: First time at a physio and I must say, I was very happy with the session! Phil has a fantastic, professional approach and cares about you leaving feeling empowered to take care of your wellbeing. I've got plenty of info and stretches to improve my problematic leg, and may not need any follow up appointments as it was so thorough. Highly recommend this practice.
Hi Sophia,
Thanks so much for the review! Glad we could help, we hope we won't have to see you anytime soon haha!

Hi Karin, thanks so much for your lovely review!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Elevation One and feel stronger than ever. I have been seeing Phil for some time and he goes over and beyond to ensure my neck and lower back pain are treated. After my first session with Phil my lower back pain has almost gone. It's like magic for me. His knowledge of human anatomy is also very deep. He also has provided great advice to help me stretch and build muscle mass when I am at home.
Hey Mark, thanks so much for your kind words!
