I began receiving treatment at Sportsmed Subiaco after a work-related injury three months ago. Although I had experienced physiotherapy for sports-related injuries, this was the first time I needed treatment to alleviate pain caused by my daily employment. I'm a classical musician and spend many hours each day performing in a static position, often overloading muscles.

I was naturally a little anxious attending the first session as I know of many artists who have received poor treatment inflaming their presenting condition. This anxiety was totally dissolved as I walked into Michael's office. My condition was accurately diagnosed and a treatment plan was established after careful consultation with myself and my GP.  After just a few sessions my condition rapidly improved and I felt confident to resume certain activities at work. I then began Clinical Pilates sessions with Rebecca, who carefully and methodically explained the techniques needed to execute my exercise program successfully.

Clinical Pilates has been incredibly helpful in correcting my posture and for improving my core muscle strength. I feel that the combination of both physiotherapy and pilates training has been the reason for my quick and successful recovery. I'm already recommending SportsMed to anyone requiring treatment. The staff are experienced, knowledgeable and a joy to work with.
