What Beenleigh Patients Say
Recently completed a round of treatment with John for nerve pain in my shoulder that I’ve struggled with for years. After visiting various doctors who hadn’t offered any real solutions, John was able to isolate and explain the cause of the problem within minutes. In only a handful of visits, I’ve seen real improvement with my pain and have learned techniques to help me moving forward. John put me at ease through the whole process and was great to work with. Highly recommend!
Professional and kind staff. They treat you as human which definitely helps with the recovery process. I also train and they cater the therapy to work with the training to get you back into it in the fastest yet safest way. Highly recommended
Johnny was great, knows his stuff and didn’t muck around. He definitely helped with my tight muscles and printed me some stretches to do daily. Thanks so much!

They have helped my progression in getting back into the workforce without any complaints and no added stress.
