 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend this place. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. My daughters both play representative rugby league and I’ve brought them both here multiple times post injuries, and have walked away each time with peace of mind and information on how to treat and prevent further injuries. Physios are easy going and down to earth, Sandy’s a league man so understands more than most the strains and stress on muscles from playing. It has a family feel environment.
