Tas Sports Physio

Fantastic experience: Myself and my son have both seen Patrick for different injuries, and he's been great every time we go. Always has clear steps on what happens next and what exercises we need to do.

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Darren at Tas Sports Physios for about 10 years. Darren has always been able to identify the underlying issues and address them effectively. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My son had pain in his foot, and as a track athlete, this needed to be rectified to allow him to compete internationally. I booked him in to see Darren and at first visit he gave him an exercise program to follow. Each subsequent visit, the exercise program became more strenuous and also my son's athletic training regime could be reintroduced. I highly recommend Darren to anyone seeking a sport physio as his explanations, assessments and exercise program were extremely easy to interpret and relate to the injury.

Fantastic experience: The team was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and always on time. Their expertise and punctuality made my visits seamless and effective. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Tas Sports Physio helped me recover after I injured my knee. They have a very kind and friendly team of professionals who are supportive and dedicated to help you recover.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Darren about a pain in the side of my knee whilst running, Darren quickly diagnosed it as a problem with my ITB. Darren was such a caring and genuinely nice person through the whole experience and knows his craft extremely well. When he figured out that it was the shoes I had purchased, he went out of his way to contact a running shop so they knew to expect me and exactly how to get me into the correct shoes. Would highly recommend Darren to anybody that needs a sports physio.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Darren Poon if you are looking for a physio in the city . He has assisted me with all sorts of issues over the last 5 years , very good with dry needling also. Jessie West is another physio in the practice that I would highly recommend , she is also a Pilates instructor who does one on one classes . I would also like to acknowledge the staff at Reception who are very friendly and helpful with appointments . .

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Tas Sports Physio for many years and I cannot fault the quality of service that I receive here from reception to treatment from the physiotherapists. All staff are friendly and professional and know your medical history. My experience with Darren over a number of years as my physiotherapist has been nothing but positive and his friendly nature and useful advice has helped me with my neck injury and impairment. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of this company to anyone, should they have a need for physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Tas Sports Physio for 5-6 years now and Darren Poon has seen me through a variety of injuries, playing a variety of sports namely hockey, rock climbing, surfing, and guiding. They are brilliant at diagnosing the cause of my pain, and have always gotten me back out there in better condition than I was before. Not only do they do good quality manual therapy to relieve pain and promote healing, but the exercises they provide have made me more balanced, coordinated and athletic. There is a serious level of professionalism from injury through to performance at Tas Sports Physio.

Fantastic experience: Darren and the team at Tas Sports Physio have been incredible. Very knowledgeable and personable, easy to book and great follow up. Our whole family has seen them for various sports injuries (or middle age pains!)

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I have both been seeing Darren Poon for many years and we have always had excellent service. Darren is always very professional and thinks outside the square especially when it comes to treating some of the unusual injuries we have presented with. I would highly recommend Darren to anyone. The practice is in a great location and all the staff are friendly and welcoming, I don’t see myself getting the same quality of treatment anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: The team at Tas Sports Physio are very professional and caring. I've been well looked after over a number of years for a range of both sporting and work-related injuries. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I have received wonderful care from Tas Sports Physio, specifically Darren Poon over the years and highly recommend him. I always feel listened to and well supported in my recovery.

Fantastic experience: 10/10. Have been seeing them for most of year and have been great at helping me with my back allowing me to keep playing the sports I love!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Tas Sport Physio for many years now and Darren and the team have always provided excellent treatment for me. Excellent service and great people!

Fantastic experience: The team at Tas Sports have kept me going through many niggles and injuries. They not only assist with pain management but also take the time to explain what is occurring and show you how to work on preventing reoccurrence of issues. I never have any trouble getting an appointment and the staff are always so professional and greet me with a smile. I would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Tas Sports Physio and in particular Darren Poon for his expert knowledge and warm manner. He swiftly diagnosed and assisted my son when a nerve rendered him unable to run, to continue playing high level hockey at a tournament hosted in Hobart. Thanks so much!

Fantastic experience: Awesome physio service. Darren was my practitioner. Identified my issue within seconds and provided excellent treatment which left me more mobile and with less discomfort immediately. Follow-up recommendations for self-maintenance have also be really useful. Thank you. Gold standard service.

Fantastic experience: I have been taking my son to see Darren for several years and when I had my double knee replacement it was an easy decision to have him help me with my recovery. Darren has been so professional, kind and caring of towards my needs of my recovery plan and made sure this has been set to suit me at every stage I was at. When you go there the lovely ladies at reception always remember your name and are always very nice and friendly. As a family we will always go and see Darren in the future and we can't thank him enough for all he has done.

Fantastic experience: Darren Poon, outstanding physiotherapist, hilarious sense of humor, and diligent professional. I've been to this sports physio for 30 years and have also seen Michael Jamison who is a chestnut legend too. With brilliant administrative support, you really are in good hands at Tas Sports Physio. I highly recommend this service as Darren consistently takes away my perpetual back pain, but has also fixed up numerous sporting injuries on the road to recovery.

Fantastic experience: Nothing but great experiences with Tas Sports Physio. They give a complete care and personal feel to their treatment of you as a patient. From booking the appointment to end of treatment every step is professional and positive from this team.

Fantastic experience: Review by: patient Max McMullen - August 2023 Darren Poon is an extremely professional physiotherapist. He takes his time to explain my condition, clearly outlining my therapeutic treatment options. At every appointment Darren evaluates my current health status following which he creates an on-going physical exercise plan – modelling all exercises to ensure that I am receiving best practice information. Darren uses his medical expertise to advise on and recommend the use of any equipment to support my treatment. Darren and his staff are friendly and engaging and I thoroughly recommend his practice to others.

Fantastic experience: I have been taking my boys to Darren at TSP for years with great results and when I had to see him myself for ‘old lady elbow’ he had me fixed in no time. Darren is professional, friendly and highly knowledgeable. They are in a super convenient place with lots of parking out the front. Their facilities are great too with a good sized gym. The women in reception are always friendly and welcoming too! I highly recommend Tas Sports Physio.

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Tas Sports Physio for quite some time and can confidently say that the quality of treatment as well as the accuracy of diagnosis is unsurpassed. However, these are not the only attributes that make it such a high quality establishment, as I have always found the staff to be friendly, respectful, and understanding. This makes Tas Sports Physio not only a reliable place to go, but also an enjoyable place to be.

Fantastic experience: Darren and the team always get me back on track!

Fantastic experience: Tas Sports Physio is by far the best physiotherapist in Tasmania. Our workplace has had Darren onsite weekly for the past 6 years. Our rate of workers compensation claims has dropped significantly in that time. Darren and his team are professional, knowledgeable, and approachable.

Fantastic experience: Great experience every time for me. I see Jess regularly and she's been great

Fantastic experience: The team at Tas Sports Physio did a great job of diagnosing and properly explaining my condition, then treating the acute pain and providing a solution through medium term strength exercises that i could do at home. Would definitely recommend them for any sports injury.

Fantastic experience: After being told by an orthopedic surgeon that I would need a shoulder replacement or be in pain for the rest of my life I contacted Tas Sports on the off chance that they might be able to offer me some sort of relief. In view of my age I really wanted to avoid such invasive surgery if at all possible. I found Dave to be patient, understanding and helpful. He introduced me gradually and progressively over a few months to a series of exercises to strengthen the shoulder. As a result, I am now without pain and able to do almost all normal everyday activities. The shoulder isn't 100% perfect, but I knew from the outset that that was not possible. I honestly can't recommend these guys highly enough.

Negative experience: Went to see Mr Poone, through work, I'd strained my Achilles, after constantly stating my knee was getting sore, which fell on deaf ears, I've had to have steroid injections, a permanent knee brace, and live in constant pain. Never again will I set foot in his office.

Negative experience: Saw 2 Physio's for my injury. Both were bad, would never return!

Fantastic experience: Unlike other physios I've been to, they were able to give me a clear plan to follow at home to nurse myself back from injury - and no ongoing appointments needed. They teach you how to fish!

Negative experience: Gave one price for the consultation when I made a phone enquire and charged more on the spot! Fast, shallow and superficial; nearly no relevant questions asked. Don't see the body as a whole, only look at the sore spot! Confusing diagnosis and prognosis. Poor advice. Basically a waste of my time and money ($100!).

Fantastic experience: I came to see Physio Mr Poon. I went in with Acute Leg/Knee pain, left feeling so much better and have improved over the week. Very impressed.
