Report
I was quite anxious starting physio, but these guys made me feel comfortable and the treatment helped me significantly. They were very attentive to patients needs, and figured out what my problems were very quickly. The atmosphere in the clinic is great overall, and the front desk was always pleasant. Would never consider going to another physiotherapist.

Great service. Knowledgeable and friendly. After months of achieving little at another physio, Leigh and her team helped me recover so quickly. Highly recommend.

Leigh and her team were an absolute pleasure to deal with. I booked treatment for an ankle injury and my experience was great. Leigh's expertise was immediately evident. She was training another physiotherapist who was finishing his practicum, and it was very informative to listen to her correct and expand on the techniques and conclusions the student had learned and was applying. Treatment for the current injury was only part of her service, she also gave me rehab exercises and advice for stretching the joint to prevent re-injury. I will be back for treatment on my inevitable next injury (hopefully

I've been seeing Carolyn Wouters for over 20 years for a variety of ailments. She is a brilliant physiotherapist and a great person besides. She gives very clear explanations of what the injury is and how to ameliorate it. I have recommended her repeatedly to family and friends and will continue to do so.
