I had a truly exceptional experience with the outstanding team at Yates Physiotherapy. From start to finish, their care and professionalism to support me through my injury was outstanding. The physiotherapists went above and beyond to support me throughout my surgical process—not only providing expert recommendations, but also taking the initiative to assist with appointment scheduling. Their genuine concern for my recovery, combined with their deep knowledge and hands-on support, made a stressful time much more manageable. I can't thank them enough and would highly recommend Yates Physiotherapy

From the time you walk in, you are made feel at ease in a calm and friendly environment. Brad is patient, listens and he will take the time that is required to assess and explain in a way that you are able to understand.

He will design with you a realistic plan, that you are able to follow and build upon with confidence to assist you with your recovery. The support is still there even after you leave your appointment, if required.
Thank you so much.

I've been part of the GLAD program for 24 weeks and can feel the improvement in strength and movement in my body. The 12 week review brings out the individual needs of the person through base line testing and setting new focus in the program. Thanks Jack and Jacob for the music and encouragement to challenge ourselves

I can not recommend Yates Physio highly enough! From the very first appointment, they were professional, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping me recover. The Physio took the time to thoroughly assess the issue, clearly explain what was going on, and outline a treatment plan that felt realistic and achievable. He was encouraging, patient, and always happy to answer questions, which made the whole process feel supportive and reassuring.

I'm feeling stronger, more confident, and well on the way to full recovery. Five stars without hesitation! Thanks team!
