What North Lakes Patients Say
I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Sports and Spinal Northlakes. After my shoulder surgery, I was at a point where I was not progressing with the physio I was seeing, and I had started to lose hope that I would ever feel like myself again. I found Sports and Spinal and from the moment I changed over and began treatment, that changed.
I see Kelly Grant and Ryan Moore, and they are genuinely second to none. Their knowledge, professionalism and care are outstanding, but what really stands out is how much they actually listen. They take the time to understand not just my injury, but how it is affecting my confidence and day-to-day life.
They have got me moving again when I honestly thought I was stuck. Each session feels purposeful, encouraging and tailored exactly to where I am at. They collaborate to make sure I get the best outcome!
I always joke that I’ll have to leave a bad review because they’re too good at what they do and can be hard to get into at my preferred time, but that just says everything about how in demand they are. If you book with them, you’re in the best possible hands.
If you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with pain, or just need clinicians who truly care about your recovery, I cannot recommend Sports and Spinal Northlakes (particularly Kelly and Ryan) highly enough. They are giving me my movement back, and I’ll be forever grateful.
Great place to go to when looking for a professional physiotherapist. Had a good experience and everyone working there was extremely nice and took their time to understand what the issue was.
Very pleased with all the staff, Cat has helped me through my knee recovery over the past 9 months and has worked at a speed that was comfortable with my progression. Giving me relevant exercises, with thorough instructions and options when setbacks were had. Would come back anytime in the future if another injury arises. (Hopefully no other injuries 😂)
can’t recommend this physio highly enough. I went in with super tight pelvic muscles that were causing ongoing pain, and within just 5 visits my pelvis is now functioning completely healthy and normal. Montana was incredible — knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. She made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. I’m so grateful for the results and the support I received.
Sports and spinal clinic was recommended to me by my gym coach after a sprained ankle netball injury. I had both Brandon and Lachlan work on me for a month, once a week, and the strength in my ankle has come good. They mixed manual manipulation of the muscles with physical movement and exercises that have meant I could return to the gym! I’m now strong enough to move laterally, hop and balance on that leg and am slowly returning to a full netball game. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Everyone on staff is friendly and chatty and make feel relaxed and valued.
Just finished up in North Lakes with Lana, I couldn’t praise her more on the session. Fantastic working and communication skills with my Down syndrome client, I could see he warmed up and felt comfortable almost immediately. Don’t hesitate to book this lovely young lady!
Jeremy was very professional and really had a comprehensive and understanding approach to my neck problems.
Finally found a decent physiotherapy place after a long search.
Until I had seen Tom and Brendan at Sports and Spinal North Lakes I had little relief from pain to feet and hips/back. Highest recommendations for their professionalism, skills, friendliness and courteous attitudes and the ability to resolve my issues. The new site is amazing, offering modern up-to-date equipment and a wide range of treatments/rehab. Add outstanding value for money, lots of parking, fantastic Receptionist and other ancillary staff.
