I cannot recommend Kylie enough! She is extremely knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for all her clients. I’ve seen Kylie for various running related injuries and her rehab programming is always personalised, manageable and well thought out. Most importantly, she truly is dedicated to getting you back to doing what you love as quickly as possible!

Best physio in town! Not to mention best dry needling…

Kylie has been my physiotherapist for nearly 10 years. As a 50 year old who participates regularly in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and CrossFit, I have had my share of injuries in that time. Kylie is the cornerstone of my medical management of issues and performance improvement - her exceptional knowledge and experience has translated into effective treatment and rehabilitation in an easy to understand manner. Whatever your physiotherapy requirement, she is your solution. I would rate higher than 5 stars if I could, and have referred numerous other clients to her, always with the same outstanding feedback.

Kylie has become a trusted advisor with her extensive knowledge and calm approach. Her dedication to the craft, precision, and authentic compassion sets her apart from others. She is someone who is truly committed to your long term recovery and making sure you get the best value and outcomes from your treatment with her. I highly recommend seeing her if you are someone dealing with long term chronic pain and have struggled to find answers and the right support to date.
