I highly recommend Diandra from Southside Physio Woden.
Having gone through major lung surgery in the past year, my muscles strength had noticeably decreased. I needed to work with a Physio who understood my situation and could set a clear rehab pathway.
Diandra worked with me over a number of weeks and set up a combination of practical exercises designed to strengthen legs and upper body thus allowing oxygen to flow throughout my body more easily.
After just four weeks the results were amazing. With her guidance I had doubled my muscle strength and exercise capacity. I now feel so much better

The team at Southside Physio are excellent and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for physiotherapy services. Cameron McDonald is my preferred physio. He's incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He was able to quickly diagnose an injury I had sustained from playing disc golf. He formulated an action plan which helped me recover and improve my mobility and strength. Thanks again, Cam!

We have had the pleasure of Dealing with Cameron for the past 18 moths with our son following a serious motorcycle crash with multiple injuries and surgeries.
Nothing has been a problem for the entire team and the concern and empathy has been amazing.
Cameron has always been a great role model to our son and has been invaluable in his past and ongoing recovery having first presenting in a wheel chair with two broken arms and one leg.
Cameron always finds creative way to keep him interested and motivated to do his best.
Great facilities and would highly recommend to any friend or family.
