I've seen all of these physios around hip, shoulder, wrist and back injuries related to pregnancy and post partum and they've been excellent. Nikita really knows her stuff! Definitely worth seeing - don't put up with the pain! :)

The physiotherapy team at Butel Health Services do an outstanding job in helping their clients regain their strength and quality of life. I have been very lucky to have had Scott Gentle help me with neck and shoulder physiotherapy for a number of years, and I certainly recommend his caring and expert approach to physio to anyone having trouble in this area. Scott is very personable and is interested in his patients' lives. He strives to help patients get their health back through his deep knowledge of physiotherapy. Recently, Scott has done an amazing job in doing physio on my shoulder after an

I highly recommend Butel Health Services, particularily Scott Gentle. I have had back issues for several years and Scotts treatments help to relieve my pain and keep my body moving. Im a golfer and I find having my regular treatments with Scott help me to be able to swing effectively for my golf despite my back issues.

I see Scott regularly for an ongoing chronic condition and can honestly say this practice is the best I have been to. They spend the entire appointment with you, treating you personally the whole time. Dont come here for a Physio that treats numerous patients at once and expects you to return weekly to line their pockets. Their goal is to get you fixed and not prolong the process. They also specialize in assisting children, which is how I was recommended to this practice. My daughter was pigeon toed on one foot due to hip issues. We had 3 appointments after the initial and she has two straight

Both myself and my wife see Scott and would highly recommend him and his team. We had been seeing another physio in the area and came across Scott by chance that Scott could see me sooner than my physio. I have been with Scott ever since due to his superior professionalism, knowledge and friendly nature. Keep up the good work team!

Brilliant! After years of pain & numerous specialists, the physios at Butel Health got to the source of my problem. They helped with immediate short term pain relief, education as to my condition, long term goals, & exercises to do at home. Cathy, Scott & Jamie are an outstanding team. They go above and beyond. They are professional, caring, experienced, personable, committed and continually striving for current best practice.
