What our clients think

  • Issac C

    Physio, massage, these guys do it all. Saw Callum for a pre and mid-trip tune up that had my hips and back moving and feeling good again after travelling and then a few days on the slopes. Then tweaked my ankle on the second last day and he was able to fit me in and tape me up for the last day of riding on a trip.

    P.S. Hit him up for some food recommendations. He put us on to the party platter gyoza place, which was epic.

  • Josh L

    I got shoulder surgery a few months ago. Callum did a great job helping me with my rehab. My shoulder feels good as new again. Thanks so much

  • James B

    Had a great experience, shoulder has been giving me grief for almost a month! I went to another physio and couldn't get it sorted but one session with Callum had it feeling unreal. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

  • Michael C

    After injuring my right AC joint on the slopes , Ash was able to see me very promptly, she managed to help me get back out boarding within no time. Very professional, reliable and affordable service.

  • Abby T

    Ash was amazing. I came in with an injured knee thinking my season was over, she was so thorough with her examination and then explained it all to me. After a few sessions with Ash and some exercise at home, I’m back ripping the slopes again without a worry!

  • Natalie K

    Ashlee and Callum were absolutely amazing in my time of need. After I tore my ACL skiing in Hakuba, they provided Physio treatment for the remainder of my stay. From picking me up in their car, because I couldn’t walk to treating me like I was going to be a lifelong Client, despite knowing I was only there for a few days, their professionalism and care was amazing. Thank you so much guys I really appreciated your help getting me back up & walking so I could enjoy the rest of my holiday.
