Jill McRae

Riel Sibley

09:24 07 Jul 25

Kade is the best physio I’ve had by far, he’s very knowledgeable and has helped me understand my injuries much better than anyone else has. The 1 hour sessions are also much better than the 20-30min standard, it allows for a very thorough assessment, manual therapy, exercises and a long term plan. I normally find services which are close to home to save time but I go the extra distance for Kade. Highly recommend

Bryan Huang

04:00 07 Jul 25

Kade is the kind of physio you quietly hope you’ll find one day. He’s attentive, kind, and incredibly present. Every session feels thoughtful and considered, with real care for both the body and the person. I always walk out feeling lighter, and honestly, that’s rare. Highly recommended.

First visit and I was so impressed of how professional and helpful Kade was. Listens and helped me to reduce the soreness and pain in my neck. Highly recommend and I will be back. Thank you!

For those of you that have suffered serious neck pain, in my case a compressed nerve in C7, you'll know how painful it can be.James Fannon, from Physio and Exercise Lab, addressed the root cause of the problem by first listening, designing and developing a program to sort out the root cause of the problem. It was so effective that I no longer need to attend. This all happened within 3 weeks, and that's after suffering for 4 months of living with excruciating pain.If you are serious about getting results, and I'm sure you are, then I can highly recommend James and his team at Physio and Exercise Lab.

I had total knee replacement surgery to my right knee which is very challenging to the mind and body.From my first appointment with James I felt at ease due to his experience with knee surgery and the confidence he showed in treatment.I would have no hesitation in recommending James for any condition regarding rehab etc.

Barry Potter

I've been recommending all of my friends to James at the Physio and Exercise Lab because as a sportsman himself, he really understands how we can stay strong and fit and avoid injury.It's not about the 'quick fix'. James has partnered with me to find out what's going to support my knees to stay strong and feel less painful.

James and Kade were amazing in getting my back sorted.I was in a lot of pain. After two sessions of massage and dry-needling, plus doing the exercises they prescribed, I was pain-free and running again in 3 days.I'm a big fan of dry-needling.I really liked the fact that they delivered the technical explanation of the muscles and joints and how best to heal them while they "operated". So I got really good value for money.Highly appreciated. Highly recommended.John

A great practise and always a warm welcome.Marina always gets to the route of the problem, If you have a niggle or an ache then she will locate it and work it out.My monthly 30 minute sessions in there give me the results so I can keep very active being in my late 50's.I do 4-5 45 min sessions of strongfit and liftfit a week which are pretty intense. Marina makes this happen with her magic.Go along to the Lab and it will become a must do thing if you want to keep moving. Love the work Marina & thank you.
