“My physio Frank gave me a treatment plan to work through. By the end of the program I reached my goals and was back to full functioning after a knee problem. Highly recommend and I would return if ever in need of physiotherapy in the future.”

“I had my initial assessment with Frank today and he was excellent! He immediately identified which muscles I am likely having issues with after walking me through various movements. He also explained everything in detail, such as how to perform specific exercises and how these exercises will help my pain in the long run. We also developed a clear and concise treatment plan relatively quickly, all while Frank maintained a very professional and friendly demeanour.”

“Marco’s philosophy on proactive therapy and injury prevention, alongside rehabilitation and athlete wellness is unique and highly effective. Marco is passionate about holistic care and collaborates extensively with other practitioners and coaches to maximize care for his athletes. After two seasons of working with our team and building trust, our program won its first ever National Championship in 2019. We had minimal hours lost to injury and Marco knew what each athlete needed to hear to ensure they were playing confident and free.”
