What Our Darlinghurst Patients Say
Théo Cazenave
Matthew has been an absolute rock throughout my lower back rehab journey.
I had been struggling with back pain for at least a year before I started seeing Matthew. From the very beginning, he was reassuring, meticulous, and thorough in the way he introduced my rehab program. He helped me truly understand what was happening in my body and what had caused the issue with my lower back.
Thanks to his guidance, I started feeling better quickly, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his help in my recovery.
I would definitely recommend Matthew for his professionalism, patience, and his ability to explain things in a way that makes them easy to understand.
Michelle Watson
Mathew is hands down the best physio I’ve had. After an accident resulted in a serious disc bulge, I’ve been in and out of various treatments but it’s Mat who has been incredibly supportive throughout my healing process with his non judgmental delivery, I only wish I had come to him sooner
His commitment to creating personalised training plans and adjusting them based on my condition is much appreciated :).
Mathew’s extensive knowledge has been crucial too in my recovery journey, as well as helping me understand the science behind my injury.
I can’t recommend him enough!
