What Broadbeach Patients Say

Reviewer photo

Namiko Satur
★★★★★

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.

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 🙏🏻
