I can not recommend highly enough the professional and sincerely friendly and caring team I experienced at oceanview from Lani at reception, who is so very welcoming, then onto Russell who is extremely knowledgeable and was able to comprise a treatment and management plan for my injury.
On several occasions I was accompanied by little grandchildren who were made to feel as welcome as myself, Russell would take the time to set them up with the mini iPad.
I am so grateful to finally live my life virtually pain free thanks to the expertise and knowledge.
Russell to the rescue I say!!

I would definitely highly recommend Russell at Ocean View Physiotherapy. After hip and back surgery he was instrumental in returning me to a healthy, strong and mobile lifestyle again. He was meticulous in his attention to the issue at Ocean View Physiotherapy and provided me with ongoing exercises. I cannot recommend Russell highly enough as his knowledge and experience is exceptional and his professionalism has given me outstanding results.

I have had a great experience with Ocean View Physiotherapy. I really feel that Russel was 100% behind my goals and gave me the treatment and information that I needed to achieve these goals. I am well on my way to where i want to be with my running. Also Lani at reception does a wonderful job and makes you feel very welcome.

I was recently hit by a car door & came off my bike - I rang ocean view physio following a recommendation. The receptionist was great & squeezed me into an appointment the day I rang. Russell spent time in assessing my injury & identified other pre-injury patterns contributing to my pain. Russell helped me to feel at ease by confirming that I hadn't done any serious damage and the exercises he gave me have helped to improve my long-term pain. I’m feeling loads better already!

When faced with major metalwork reconstruction of my lower limb, due to a triple Trimalleolar fracture/& dislocation, I knew that Russell Wright of Ocean View Physiotherapy was the best Physiotherapist available to professionally get my mobility back as soon as possible.
Overwhelmed with the poor advice from hospital to just remove my Cam Boot and start walking, after having no weight bearing for several weeks, deteriorated muscle tone, and weakness, I immediately made an appointment with Russell Wright. Through regular exercise, massage and thorough Physio sessions and advice from Russell, I

I've now seen Russell over the past few years each time I need support or guidance with an injury. (he came recommended to me by a friend) I continue not only to use but also to refer Ocean View Physio....their attention to detail and professional, care driven approach to better health is extremely reassuring. It is evident that the goal is to see people in good health participating happily in the activities they love.

I can not recommend the team at Ocean View Physiotherapy highly enough. The physiotherapists treat holistically and ensure that they are aligned with your goals, helping you achieve them. Russell and Rebecca have treated me for multiple conditions over the years and have always achieved great results in short time frames, even from previously chronic conditions. You are always made to feel welcome from all members of the team.

I would highly recommend Russell from Ocean View Physiotherapy. Russell not only helped the pain in my foot but he also fixed a problem I had been having with my hip as well. Russell looks at your whole body including how you walk to find out the cause of the problem. I have exercises to strengthen my foot and I am almost pain free now and I am sure in time I will be pain free. Even the ladies at the reception are friendly and make you feel welcome. Fantastic customer service.

After completing internationally in triathlons with an achilles injury for more than 5 years, I finally went to Ocean View Physio for their speciality in treating runners with foot and ankle problems. I had previously been told to stop running and had tried many different band aid solutions from orthotics to suggestions of cortisone shots without resolution. Then I saw Russell who has been the most thorough physio I have ever been to. He started with a video analysis of my running style, designed an individual strengthening program for my achilles and worked on other body parts to get me moving
