Geoff is the best physio I've found and I won't look any further! He is so incredibly knowledgeable and he explains things to me in a way that I actually understand! I feel like as long as I have him and his team to lean on whenever I have an injury it'll always be fine because I 100% trust that they will be able to fix it. I am super grateful to have found him and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who takes their training seriously.

Saw Geoff a day before what was supposed to be my maiden marathon. Had been to a physio in my town for months and the intention was just to get strapped before a race. Geoff offered more detailed insights and post one consultation diagnosed my issue accurately (something lacking from my previous specialist), appreciate him seeing me after hours as well. I would highly recommend him as a physio.

Went to see Geoff about a sore ankle. My shoulder was immediately better the next day after some dry needling, which took away the hurt whilst sleeping on my side. Geoff gave me the comfort that my ankle was nothing to worry about and that I could continue doing exercise. The pain eased off as he was manipulating my ankle. Thank you!

Geoff was a huge help! I picked up a foot injury just a week before competing in an international tournament, and thanks to his advice, I was able to compete at 100% when I was worried I wouldn’t be able to compete at all. Really grateful for his support and expertise.

Amazing experience with fixing a painful muscle injury as a new client. Geoff’s practice is very well organised as well as extensively and professionally equipped. 10/10 would recommend Geoff.

Physio with Geoff has been a most satisfactory experience. He explains what he is doing and why and provides insight into the causes. He uses a variety of methods to alleviate pain and discomfort and is adept at treating even the deepest areas that other physios cannot reach. The practice is packed with machinery and equipment but provides privacy as needed. Plentiful parking directly opposite.
