Reviews
Excellent Friendly Service! Compared to how I felt before I went for physio, it's like a miracle. The nerves & muscles down my leg were so sore before I saw Michelle, but after she treated my leg, I feel so much better! All the way to the receptionist, this is a first class physiotherapy centre! :-)
What an amazing team! Andri is not only an amazing Physio she is also an amazing human being, she has supported me through my injury taking time out to look up information to help me understand my injury and all the jargon the doctors write down. I can't thank her enough, she has helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have and will continue to highly recommend Sport Physio to everyone ! Awesome place awesome team!
This is one of the best physio practices I have ever been to - Michelle in particular is outstanding. I have been seeing her for years and she always treats me with the utmost respect and professionalism. She is an all rounded and exceptionally qualified physio and I recommended this practice for all your needs. The Sports Performance Hub also offer other services such as appointments with a nutritionist, psychologist and sports massage to name a few. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone.
Sport Physio is extremely professional and very friendly. Michelle was very thorough in helping me figure out a treatment plan for a six year old injury. Her commitment to helping her client get the best outcome is evident and she is a great asset to the team.
The treatment as been excellent from start to finish and I would recommend the practice to anyone. Andri was extremely thorough in the diagnosis, listened very carefully and asked many questions. She used ultrasound and 'hands on' treatment and gave a set of exercises with very sensible instructions about what to do and what not to do. Progress made was measured at each session and she left me with ongoing exercises to manage the problem in the future. All aspects of the service were excellent - from reception to technical treatment, interpersonal skills, listening carefully and talking through symptoms, treatment, exercises. I can recommend Sport Physio in the strongest terms.
Andri saw me through my injury. I thought I was down and out from running due to my shin splints but Andri not only treated my symptoms but pinpointed the causes. I ran my first mile yesterday since been sidelined many many weeks ago due to pain and I made it all the way pain free just a week after my last treatment!! Thank you
The physio's have extensive knowledge on treatment procedures as well as diagnosing the cause of the problem and not just treating the symptom. All of the staff members are very friendly and helpful
The physio was good, interactive to know root causes, the analysis perfect. Thanks Michelle
Excellent service! Love attending the yoga classes too!
Very cool spot, super friendly community of staff :)
