Hands down the best Physio I’ve been to. Aren was very thorough in his assessment and really helped treat and strengthen my injured area.

This is great place with friendly, knowledgeable staff from reception to clinicians. My PT was great and did a very thorough assessment. Huge bonus was also the electronic rehab plan they send you after with pics and instructions. Would highly recommend this place!

The best physio I've ever been to! The office staff are very professional & my therapist was very knowledgeable about why I was there. He did a thorough assessment before he started any treatment. Made sure he had all up to date medical reports beforehand.

I was recommended Westcoast SCI by a friend, and after looking around online at some other places I decided to book in with them.The booking process is really easy and once booked they send you emails with everything you need to know for your visit.My experience within was just as good, as soon as I walked through the door I was made to feel very comfortable by the receptionist.I booked in with Jack and he was great!He made me feel really comfortable and was very informative about my situation.The Clinic/Studio it’s self is amazing! A really awesome space. If you’re looking for a Physio don’t look any further! THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!

I had a full knee replacement and required a program to help strengthen the knee.My physio - Tom M.- Tested my abilities and devised a program that would stretch and strengthen these areas for both the knee that was replaced and the remaining knee which also has wear.I was impressed with the attention to detail and the caring that was given to help me make improvements and have more confidence with my new knee.Everyone i met from the reception to the physio wère very helpfull.

Very friendly staff! Westcoast SCI’s approach of 1 on 1 time with a physiotherapist results in an individualized, tailored exercise program that the client can easily follow at home. This has prevented my old injuries from recurring. Tom Michie has been fantastic in helping me return to running!

We have been working with Eddie for 5 years and have moved into a virtual platform since Covid. The training continues to be excellent and super creative for one does not have a fully equipped gym at home like the physio studio. He focuses on areas we need to work on, inquiring on how we feel and adapting the session to our needs. Surprisingly, these virtual sessions are engaging and one feels completely exhausted from the energetic and varied program.

I’m a runner and after completing my second marathon this year, I got tendinopathy in my hip. I did the classic thing of just hoping it would disappear & carried on running, but it gradually got a bit worse. I knew Jack at Westcoast SCI from uni so I booked in an online session with him and explained what was happening and the type of pain I was receiving. He immediately knew what was going on, explained the 5 levels of load training required and I eased off of the running.It took time, as these injuries do, but Jack was there to advise at every stage of the injury - you could tell from his experience he’d seen this all before. Now, 6 months on - I’m back up to running 20/30 miles a week without any pain or discomfort. I'm also looking forward to another marathon in the spring without experiencing any pain! Doing physio can be frustrating as it is a process that needs time and commitment, fortunately when you’ve got someone of Jacks knowledge and experience, you know you’re in safe hands.
