   I've been seeing Tak for over 5 months now post Shoulder surgery and have been extremely satisfied with the results. I would strongly recommend him (and Josh) to anyone that is in the need of physio treatment. His techniques are very effective and his slow and steady approach while listening to my body has helped me get back to my very active lifestyle. Mobility and strength are better than they were before surgery, very glad I stick with him for my 10+ sessions. Well worth it!

   I have been working with Tak for a few months now in preparation for a half marathon! He is so thorough and willing to exhaust all options to get to the bottom of my pain, always having another plan if the first one doesn't work. Could not recommend him enough :)

   Tak has been instrumental in helping me recover from achilles issues as well as my son's knee problems. His expertise not only got me back running but also provided my son with the care he needed. Tak is incredibly approachable, always taking the time to listen and tailor the treatment to our needs. If you’re looking for a physio who genuinely cares about your recovery, Tak is the one to see!

   I’ve been seeing Tak for the past couple of years for back, neck and shoulder issues and he always does a great job at providing me with muscle relief in the affected areas. Highly recommend booking an appointment with him.

   Excellent service. Joshua got magic in his hands. He also suggested exercises to improve on the pain. Keep up!

   Don’t be fooled by his looks! Josh maybe young and handsome, but he’s very knowledgeable in his field and most importantly, best at what he’s doing. He’s fixed my broken shoulder, golfers elbow, sciatica …hopefully there’s nothing more he needs to fix 😂 highly recommend to get Josh for any Physio needs!!!

   Josh has been incredibly helpful in fixing my knee pain that has been bothering me for years now. I wish I saw him sooner! The new shockwave machine works a treat.

   I have seen Josh and Tak for an array of different issues over the years and will continue to follow these guys wherever they go because of their professionalism and friendliness and their empathy and care during each treatment and problem! I'm especially happy that they also have shockwave therapy as it has helped immensely with my knee pain when I trained for my 10k run and I could not have done it without them!

   Tak is very professional in his treatment. He creates a safe space and listens to you. Not only has Tak helped work with my back injury he has gone above and beyond by ensuring I have exercises tailored to my needs outside of the physio and checks in on me mid week to see how I am progressing. 5 stars in my book!
