Physical Sense: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Nick transformed me from Quasimodo to Koudinov in just 7 days. Impressed!
Fantastic experience: Been going to see Nick for over 7 years now with neck problems and tmj. Would definitely recommend him.
Fantastic experience: I recently had Nick sort out my jaw problems, as well as teaching me the wonders of diaphragmatic breathing to help with stress and anxiety. He has been very helpful during my mental health journey. I highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: I had my toe nails trimmed by a lovely lady here today.
Fantastic experience: Great physio team. Great staff
Fantastic experience: I needed some urgent appointments regarding an injury and Letje was really helpful to guide me through to the best possible recovery. Also, I want to appreciate the lady at reception who was very understanding. Thank you people.

Fantastic experience: Nick knows his stuff, but doesn't mislead or dismiss your opinions. Great group of people. Been going for 2 years and hesitate to go elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: I can’t rate Ietje at Physical Sense high enough. She listens and she has been amazing with my rehabilitation. I am still a work in progress but I have faith we will get there because I feel the staff at physical Sense are invested in my recovery.
Fantastic experience: Best little physio.
Fantastic experience: Great reception, great pyysio treatment, great staff.
Fantastic experience: Probably the best physio I've ever seen... and I've seen many, many physios in my time. Cannot recommend enough, and I've seen notable improvement since I started seeing the physiotherapist here, which can't be said for all physios. The price is also reasonable, even if you're not covered by insurance or ACC. Lots of resources and clear communication from the therapists re what does what and why specific things are needed/help. I recommend this place to all my friends and family--can't see myself going anywhere else now! A++ for service, therapy and the efficacy of treatments offered here.
Fantastic experience: In my many years of physio treatments, this is the only place that I have found exceptional treatment. It is the only place that has given me relief from lower back problems and they have given me excellent exercises that I do at home that takes the stress off my back. The physio I use has many years of overseas experience in different fields and this shows in the extensive knowledge that she has.
Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough about this practise, from the front desk to treatment and follow up care, the service and expertise is outstanding. I have needed to use Physical Sense for a number of issues spanning over some years. I have found their cancellation policy particulary good for me. They send a reminder text 4 hours before the appointment. If I need to cancel for whatever reason, as long as I have rung the clinic before 8am in the morning they do not charge me a cancellation fee. I find this marvellous as most clinics require 24 hours notice of cancellation otherwise you are charged the full amount of the appointment. I also love the birthday card they send out with a half price massage as a gift. Thank you Ietjie, Nick, Sophie, Rom, Lelia and the team....you guys keep my body happy and me smiliing. Highly reccoommend.
Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Physical Sense.The Physiotherapists are experienced and competent.The front desk staff have always been friendly,efficent and professional. Easy access and onsite parking is also a bonus. Thankyou Rom , Letje and your team for the faultless service you provide.
Fantastic experience: Nick is very professional and makes you feel at ease. He's knowledgeable and explains everything as he goes in a way that is easy to understand.
Fantastic experience: Very happy once again with my treatment at Physical Sense. I had a niggling problem for a few weeks and they got right to it. Always a great atmosphere and friendly service. Absolutely love the half price massage received with the birthday card every year! Thanks again team. See you next time!

Fantastic experience: Previous agonising sciatica and back problems.Physiotherapy and equally as important excellent advice have kept me mobile. Thank you Letje and also other staff for good service.
Fantastic experience: Went with an injury I honestly couldn't pin point, however after two sessions with Nick he knew exactly where to look and get to the bottom of and left with a recovery plan. I love my training (fyi the gym is also pretty awesome as well) and my biggest concern was getting to the point of not training, really happy I went with these as they got straight to my issue and left with confidence that all was okay :-)!

Fantastic experience: the best place and profitinal staff ever , i would like to thank you , really recommend
Positive experience: Great physios Trigger point specialists
Fantastic experience: Physio Sophie, knows her stuff. The one to meet.
Negative experience: Horrible place! Be very wary of the owners!!! These rip off artists scammed my 95 year old Great Uncle out of his hard earned dollars, made up from his savings and war pension. Upon attempting to civilly rectify the situation we were verbally abused by the gutless owners. What a disgusting way to treat a 95 year old war veteran. This business cares nothing for your relatives rehabilitation, they only care about earning a fast and easy dollar. What a shameful business. I hope no-one else is burn't by them in future!
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Physical Sense by my dentist as I kept complaining of tooth ache. I had anxiety which has pretty much gone now. I also suffer from migraines. I am so grateful to Nick and the team at Physical Sense for everything Now if I get a migraine I feel in control of it and they aren't as nasty or last as long. Thanks Nick you changed my life.
Fantastic experience: Great physio
Negative experience: The physio was ok. The people in the front desk weren't that friendly. You're charged even with ACC cover.. so look for a physio where ACC covers the whole bill.. it's worth it. Also charged a late fee which they wouldn't waiver.. very unfriendly. Not to be confused with the gym next door... Concrete health and fitness... They're awesome, 5/5 for them.
