Report
I've been going to Rob Tindale at New England physio for several years. He's been an excellent physio for my chronic injuries, and has supported me to re-engage in, and then push myself in exercise I've often thought wasn't possible due to injury or discomfort. I also appreciate his availability and generosity with his expertise, particularly his willingness to liaise with other health professionals when needed, including my GP and other complimentary specialists.
