Victoria has been incredible helping me through shin splints. She’s been very supportive throughout the process, not only helping with treatment through needling and massage, but also giving me ongoing exercises to build strength and prevent the issue from continuing.

The combination of hands-on treatment and consistent exercises has made such a difference to how my shin feels and my ability to keep training. I really appreciate the time and effort she has put into getting me back to running without pain.

Everyone here at this practice is really lovely and down to earth.

It’s really nice and you get greeted so warmly the moment you step in.

Appreciate that they look at the body more holistically as opposed to target fixation so they really aim to get you to your best!!! Super professional, great and positive experience all round.

I have been seeing Joe for my injuries who is genuinely a big ray of sunshine and so enthusiastic and fabulous to work with!!

I couldn’t recommend Victoria highly enough! She is absolutely lovely, professional, and genuinely cares about helping you get better.

I went to see her for some lower back issues, and from the very first appointment she made me feel comfortable and confident that we could get things back on track. She takes the time to understand the problem, explains everything clearly, and makes the whole process feel easy.

If you’re looking for a physio who actually listens and goes the extra mile, Victoria is the one! 🙌

5 stars all day! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Found Thrive in a late Friday night moment of desperation when my TMJ issues were at their worst. I honestly didn't know that I'd stumbled on an absolute hidden gem. Not only was I able to book an appointment for TMJ specifically, but I was also able to get in the next day. The front desk staff are all so friendly, the physio was a godsend and the one time I arrived 24 hours early for my appointment (major brain fog moment) they were still able to move things around so I could be seen. The clinic itself is clean, inviting and spacious. Everyone is knowledgeable and friendly, despite having a dozen physios between my home and Thrive, I will continue going there because I've not had a single negative experience! 10/10 recommend if you want to be seen quickly, on time and looking to have a specific concerns treated!

Her care and professionalism have made such a positive difference in my treatment. I definitely recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a physiotherapist, especially for TMJ treatment. She is truly exceptional at what she does!

So happy with my physio treatment at Thrive. Thorough, professional and friendly. My back and joints are feeling much improved. They really listen and I have seen a vast improvement in my range of movement. Thank you to the team at Thrive for making me feel so much better in a short time. I didn’t expect to feel better so quickly.

I cannot recommend Dylan highly enough. He has been beyond excellent in helping me with both my knee and back issues. His knowledge, professionalism, and ability to explain what was happening were exceptional. He provided practical exercises and strategies to help me improve, along with effective hands-on treatment that made a real difference.

What I also really appreciated was that Dylan focused on getting results rather than booking unnecessary, drawn-out appointments. He gave me the tools and support I needed to continue improving, without feeling like I was being kept coming back for the sake of it.

I would highly recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and results-focused physiotherapist.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! 💙 We’re delighted to hear that Dylan was able to help with your knee and back issues and that you valued his knowledge, clear explanations and practical approach.

We’re especially glad you felt supported with the right tools and strategies to keep improving independently. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Dylan. Thank you for recommending ThrivePhysio! 🙌

What an amazing place, Sam's just best! Came in with chronic lower back soreness. He helped me gain confidence, trust and mobility back. After years of issues with sitting and bending. He's very professional and has always been super caring.

Wether it be on the phone or in person Alysha is very professional and super friendly. Thanks for all the help! Will return in the future, if I have any problems. Very happy and grateful with the service. 5 stars isn't enough 10/10! 😊
Response from the owner:Wow, thank you so much for such a lovely review, 10/10 right back at you! 😄

We're absolutely thrilled to hear about the progress you've made with Sam.

Regaining confidence and mobility after years of struggling with sitting and bending is a huge achievement, and it's a credit to the work you've put in too. Sam will be stoked to read this!

Thanks again for the support, and we hope the back continues behaving itself 😊

I cannot recommend Thrive Physiotherapy highly enough. From the moment you walk through the door, it’s clear that patient care is at the heart of everything they do. The clinic itself is spacious, modern, and exceptionally well run, with a fantastic gym facility at the back that provides everything needed for rehabilitation and strength-based recovery.

A special mention to Darcy Burns and Jack Nolan, who have been outstanding in helping me recover from a running-related injury. Their professionalism, knowledge, and expertise are second to none. They take the time to thoroughly assess, explain, and tailor treatment plans, giving me complete confidence in my recovery. Their understanding of running injuries and rehabilitation is exceptional, and they genuinely care about helping their patients achieve the best possible outcomes.

The entire team contributes to such a positive experience. The reception staff are always welcoming, friendly, and efficient, making every visit easy and enjoyable. The management team are equally impressive—approachable, personable, and clearly committed to creating a supportive environment for both patients and staff.

If you’re looking for a physiotherapy clinic that combines expert care, a patient-centred approach, and a genuinely friendly atmosphere, Thrive Physiotherapy is the best there is.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review, it genuinely means a lot to the whole team!

We're so glad Darcy and Jack have been able to guide your recovery from your running injury. Taking the time to properly assess, explain, and tailor a plan is exactly how we like to do things, and hearing it's given you real confidence in your recovery is the best feedback we could ask for. They'll both be stoked to read this!

We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to our front desk crew and the wider team as well. Reviews like this are exactly why we do what we do 😊

Thanks again for the support, and we'll see you in the clinic soon!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the fantastic review!

We're really glad Jack's been able to support you through a few different injuries now, taking the time to explain things clearly and work at your pace is exactly what we're about!

Thanks as well for the kind words about our admin team, we'll be sure to pass them on.

We really appreciate the support, and we'll catch you in the clinic soon 😊

Really fantastic so far! As an Autistic person who is highly visual, I appreciated Dylan using a lot of metaphor and visual imagery to explain different things, and he would often check in to make sure I was comfortable, both physically and mentally. Ie, likely aware that eye contact can be uncomfortable for an Autistic person and making sure I knew it was unfortunately an important part of the tests. I thought that it very thoughtful of him to consistently put me at ease.

Reception were also quick, efficient, but in a friendly way. My kind of reception! :)
Response from the owner:Hey Carolyn, thank you so so much for sharing this!

We're really glad to hear Dylan's approach resonated with you, he is fantastic at tailoring his communication style to what works best for each person, and creating that comfortable, thoughtful environment is exactly what we aim for 😄

It's great to know our front desk crew hit the mark for you too, quick, efficient, and friendly is the sweet spot! We'll definitely be passing on your kind words on to Dylan and the team.

Thanks again for the review and we'll catch you in the clinic again soon 🤗
