I was referred to Leaders Sports & Spine Physiotherapy by a family member after I hurt my lower back at work. In the beginning I was taken care of by David and Daniel took over from week 3.
Daniel is extremely knowledgeable, polite, patient and his attention to detail is impeccable. I was in a lot of pain and could barely move when I first walk through the door, and now, I am fully functioning and stronger then before. Daniel took the time to tailor an exercise / stretching program that suits my particular job to make sure I can stay safe and healthy, minimising the risk of injury in the future

I injured my lower back a few months ago and reluctantly had to slow down. I went to see Dave and he understood my needs and where I wanted to be. He provided personalised at home exercises which gave me a recovery plan, goals to reach and made the recovery process much more bearable. Dave is professional, friendly and absolutely knows his stuff. I highly recommend these guys :)

The quality and professionalism of Cameron at Leaders Physio far exceeded my expectations. A combination of knowledge, enthusiasm and a genuine care of his clients allowed me to finally eliminate shoulder pain which, prior to visiting Leaders, had been causing me pain for a year. I was so impressed with this progress that I continued to see Cameron in order to work on an ankle mobility issue that I have dealt with for well over 10 years and essentially given up trying to fix. Just as the with the shoulder, my expectations were once again exceeded. I have seen significant improvement to the point

I saw Cameron for a calcific tendinitis, he was super friendly, knowledgeable and professional! He made me understand my problem and also gave me extra tips for little problems I was getting due to bad positions I was doing. I'm super grateful because with the exercises he taught me to do at home helped me to feel better and now all the pain is gone (in only few weeks!) I loved this place, highly recommended. If I get another injury with no doubts I'll be coming back. Thanks guys!

The team at leaders were super friendly and professional. Dave treated my shoulder after an injury from the gym. He was very professional and precise and explained everything to me carefully and helped worked through the injury with me and made the recovery process very stress free. Definitely recommend to visit them if you also work or live near the city - they also have a great new modern looking clinic!

I started seeing these guys about 6 months ago because I had a workplace injury. It has been one of the best decisions I have made for my both my health. The physios at this place (David and Cameron) are very knowledgeable and personable. I have mostly worked with David on strength based treatment, and it has been great. I highly recommend them.

I had been struggling with my Shin and Knee pain for a while. Booked an appointment with David and started following his advice. He is superb. He understand exactly what my issue was.No guessing game. I play warehouse cricket every weekend and was dependent on pain killer for every match. With the exercises suggested David I am doing better now. My shin and knee pain has reduced significantly and i'm no more dependent on pain killers on my match days. His advice has made a significant improvement. No more soreness post match. Great service. Friendly and knowledgeable team. Highly recommended
