What Broadbeach Patients Say
RI visited this clinic during my stay in Broadbeach, hoping to ease the pain from a severely strained back. The pain was sharp with even the smallest movements – getting out of bed, lying down, or sitting. So I was quite distressed.
Ellie treated me, and I was genuinely surprised and impressed by how much relief she provided. After the first session, I could move around without the sharp pain, and I felt about 70% better, leaving the rest to time and recovery. It felt like magic, especially as this happened on just the second day of my stay, when I was really upset about being in pain.
Ellie was very professional and caring, giving me advice on exercises I could do after treatment, and even following up with a message the next day to check on my progress.
I am so grateful for Ellie’s professionalism, kindness, and skill. She turned what could have been a ruined trip into a much more enjoyable one.
Saw Elli for an ankle fracture and she did such an amazing job! Recovered faster then expected and enjoyed every session.
Appreciate all the work and highly recommend ❤️
Marina is a life saver. I was struggle with my training last year as a prepared for the pro women’s hyrox due to a knee issue and after seeing Marina a few times I had no pain and since then have had no recurring soreness. In the past month I have started getting a sore back and have started seeing her again with yet again amazing results. I would highly recommend Marina she’s knowledgeable and amazing at what she does.
Great experience. Nicholas looked after my son, Patrick, really well today. Highly experienced and very knowledgeable and all the staff were friendly and I had confidence in the process. As a healthcare professional myself (at the other end of the body) it was great to experience such great cleanliness and expertise and I can highly recommend this practice. Thank you all 🙏🏻
All the team at sports and spinal Broadbeach are amazing. They dont treat you like another patient. They take thier time to get to know you and make you their priority. My recovery wouldnt have been half as awesome without them. If you need physio these are the guys to see, hands down best on the gc
I can’t thank my physio Ellie enough!
I walked in few weeks ago with a really bad lower back, and within just a few minutes, she’s worked her magic. After few visits she completely fixed it. I left feeling like a brand-new person!😃
Professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly effective.
I’m such a relieved patient and very grateful for the fast relief.
Highly, highly recommended to anyone in need of real results!👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve been seeing Elli for the last 5 months and she has been absolutely the best. I’ve suffered of chronic knots/shoulder pain for years and I’ve improved so much since I started coming to the clinic. She is not only professional but the sweetest person as well! Definitely recommend her and the clinic!!
Can’t thank Marina and the sports and spinal team enough for their help during my ankle rehabilitation process! The level of care they have provided has been second to none and has allowed me to run without pain for the first time in 3 years! Highly recommend their services.
