Holistic Physio Fitness

Fantastic experience: I have been attending two classes a week for over two years with Patrick. I have become stronger and have had no injuries because of Patrick's oversight. He checks in with how people are feeling and adjusts the load accordingly, gradually timing weight bearing increases. The Maintenance classes combine balance, strength and cardio, and Patrick creates an encouraging, positive and happy atmosphere for all. Small classes are a bonus. I highly reccommend. I also highly recommend physiotherapist Craig, his one treatment and the exercises he gave my daughter for her back pain, appear to have sorted the problem.

Fantastic experience: After a traumatic spinal injury resulting in spinal fusion, Ryan at Holistic Physio Fitness has carved the way for my rehabilitation and all things pain wise. His empathetic and caring nature mixed with his stern and encouraging attitude and of course his constant good vibes has made my recovery possible and bearable even on the bad days. Beyond grateful I was referred to this place, feels like home by now with Sally & Kim always making anyone feel welcome!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending weekly Physio classes with Pat for the past few years. The supervised maintenance classes are a very positive experience. Pat is a supportive and very knowledgeable practitioner who will do an initial assessment and proceed to help you build up your fitness levels and deal with any existing injuries or niggles you may have.I cannot recommend Pat & HP highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Ryan for the past 6 months following a snowboarding injury, and I highly recommend him. He’s a great physio who actively listens and supports his patients throughout all the hurdles injuries bring. All the staff are very lovely and have made the practice a safe and friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience. Great environment. Always look forward to a workout with Patrick.

Fantastic experience: Holistic Physio Fitness has been of great benefit to me. Patrick the Exercise Physiologist is very knowledgeable, patient and encouraging . I look forward to going each week.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Pat’s exercise classes - he balances fun with discipline, encouragement and patience!! I’m really happy with the steady improvement in my strength and balance ‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Patrick does the best exercise classes on the Northern Beaches. He assists each individual with their technique. Patrick's could improve his music genres!

Fantastic experience: The guardian classes have been fantastic for me. A structured personalised program with Pat making sure that I’m exercising correctly has been exactly what I needed. Pat is really encouraging and supportive. I highly recommend this program and all the wonderful staff at Holistic Physio Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Holistic Physiotherapy mona vale has been instrumental in my recovery from a bad car accident. I have seen numerous practitioners of all types but Exercise Physiology by far (especially with Pat - he’s awesome!) proved the most successful in helping me heal and improving my overall strength while also improving my posture in order to continue to heal. Pat pays particular attention to you as an individual and makes sure that all your exercises are suited to you and your specific injuries/needs. He also alters them depending on your progress. He is so patient as well especially with the elderly which is very endearing. (I’m not one them yet ). The ladies in the office are also incredibly friendly and helpful! Thx for all your help Pat & Holistic.

Fantastic experience: Pat is friendly, supportive, knowledgeable and professional. He helped me through a painful long term injury that I was finding it very difficult to recover from. I always felt safe, comfortable and listened to, which allowed me to trust in him when I was feeling most vulnerable. I have almost recovered from my injury now and I recommend Pat and all the crew at Holistic Physio Fitness. Great people and great results. I am so grateful. ThankYou so much

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Holistic Physio Fitness for a few years at this point and have always found the help and services from my Physio Ryan Welsh to be beneficial and give me some assistance with the soreness and muscle stiffness that I experience daily. I always enjoy the friendly conversations that we have every time I go to my session. The staff members that I see are always very welcoming and friendly. I appreciate the help very much. From Edward Warren.

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: The team at Holistic Physio are exemplary. Patrick in particular has been a huge driving force in supporting my return to physical and mental fitness. Everything is taken in to consideration from weight goals, external factors, biochemistry, biomechanics and nutrition to name a few. There is always a feeling of being welcome and appreciated. Thank you to Kim, Sally and Pat for their continued efforts. 10/10.

Fantastic experience: Amazing. Craig is very knowledgeable and very thorough with his examinations. I came out feeling very optimistic after my first session. I highly recommend this practice.

Fantastic experience: Holistic Physio Fitness is amazing! Kim and Sally at reception are lovely and make you feel comfortable and well looked after. My physio, Ryan, has been incredible. His knowledge and expertise has helped me manage and overcome my injury. I highly recommend Holistic Physio Fitness and will continue going here.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Craig for many years now with various sporting injuries. He has been nothing but amazing. Craig is very knowledgeable and personable and has explained and guided me through the rehabilitation process for each injury and also helped me with a personalised weights and exercise program to reduce the risk of a reoccurrence. Definitely one of the best physio’s I have seen!!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing holistic physiotherapy for my muscular condition for the last two years. One of the best physiotherapists I have had in my life. Great service, kind, and respectful. Even though i am seeing the physio for a serious reason i reel like i am respected and can actually enjoy myself while in sessions. I would greatly recommend to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: Over the last four years Ryan has not only helped me with pain management through exercise and regaining my mobility, but has also been instrumental in helping with my weight loss and building strength. Ryan's expertise has allowed me to now reach a level of strength and fitness I never thought was possible. Highly recommend the Holistic Physio Team

Fantastic experience: Patrick and Holistic Physio have been helping me recover and get stronger and I can feel and see the improvements every day. My program is individual, guided and very supportive. Patrick is knowledgeable and personable. He gently pushes us all to improve and take charge of our own health. The facilities are great, classes small and the atmosphere friendly. But most of all...it's science and health based. I recommend highly.

Fantastic experience: Pat has been fantastic, helping me recover from an AC joint injury over the last few months. He’s also set me up with a great exercise plan for rugby off season. Thank you. I highly recommend Holistic Physio and will be going back if need be in the future.

Fantastic experience: Both my daughter and I were looked after very well by Craig at Holistic Physio Fitness who is simply amazing at his craft and very personable also. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this Physio service to others.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Holistic Physio Fitness. With Pat's expertise, care and personalised Guardian Program, I have seen huge improvements in flexibility, strength and overall wellbeing.Thank you to the whole team!

Fantastic experience: Craig at Holistic Physio is outstanding. Expert care and great results. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Pat is amazing !!! Very patient and encouraging

Fantastic experience: Amazing service, team and experience. I currently have reoccurring appointments with Craig who has also supported me through many sporting injuries over the years - getting me back to feeling my best each time. So knowledgeable, and an exceptional practitioner. Highly recommend…. The real deal!

Fantastic experience: I had a niggling injury that just wouldn't go away - either on its own or with physio intervention. I'm not sure why I chose Holistic, but I'm glad I did. After my initial assessment and a couple of one on one sessions, I was encouraged to join the Guardian Programme. These are small classes of under 6 people which are supervised by the Exercise Physiologist, Patrick. As we all know, it's no use going to Physio if you aren't going to do the exercises at home and I will put my hand up as one of the people who aren't religious about following a rehab programme. That's why Guardian was developed - so that you DO the exercises and you are supervised to make sure you're doing them correctly. My injury gradually was improving, so I moved onto the Maintenance Programme - same concept, just different format. I found that for less than the cost of one PT session, I could afford 2 classes at Holistic and could really see the benefits. After only a few months my injury was completely healed - back to full strength and range of movement and I graduated! I would recommend Holistic and Patrick to anyone who has either a fitness goal or injury rehab or prevention.

Fantastic experience: Five stars to Pat, the Guardian Program and the Holistic team. Pat’s knowledge, encouragement and genuine care in my recovery from multiple long term issues has been a game changer. Still can’t quite believe I’m confidently back doing the sports I love!

Fantastic experience: WOW! Not only do these miracle workers get you moving again, the whole team is so helpful and friendly. The bubbly receptionist is a breathe of fresh air when you walk in, and was very efficient with my payment and bookings.

Negative experience: I have had 20+ years of chronic pain on and off due to spondy and, more recently, an annular tear in my lower back. For the first few sessions with Craig I was feeling great, benefitting from his support and enthusiasm. He was pushing me to lift more, saying that I'm more capable than I realise. I was surprised what I could achieve, even though I was hesitant to lift/pull so much weight and put my body under such strain. However, the increments of weights were too large - I found myself asking him to decrease the weights multiple times and not only straining to complete sets, but unable to maintain proper form when doing them. The exercises I was doing were meant to be controlled - and he monitored my form - but ultimately the progression in weights/intensity was way too rapid. I asked if I should be engaging my core for these types of motions, to which he said that it could be damaging if I did that incorrectly. I thought this was odd, as every specialist I have ever seen insisted on this. During one session with him in the gym, I reported to him that I had a tweak/pain from one of the sets. We continued with the session and it became worse. That was around 6-8 weeks ago, and since then I've suffered from almost constant pain. I sometimes can't walk properly and it's put a total handbrake on my life. Flare-ups have left me worse than before and I'm unsure what to do now. I could not be more angry and depressed at this turn of events. The ultimate lesson here is - always question advice from experts. YOU are the best doctor for your body. You alone know what you are capable of and what your limitations are. Go and visit them if you wish, but make it very clear what you can and cannot do. Don't ever feel pressured to do too much and further damage yourself.

Fantastic experience: Pat is a Great EP! Best I’ve ever had. Has helped me reduce hip and knee pain so much so that I’ve put off hip operation I very nearly had 5 months ago. I’ve tried lots of gyms and this is the longest I’ve ever exercised consistently under Pat’s care. Very highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Amazing improvement in my strength and health. I really look forward to my small group classes and feel so much better after each class. I didn’t expect to see so much improvement after a few months. Thank you so much for your help.

Fantastic experience: Working with Patrick (Hughes) at Holistic Physio, Mona Vale has been a game-changer in my journey to recovery from a shoulder injury. I have found his expertise as an exercise physiologist unmatched, and his personalized approach, tailoring exercises specifically to my needs has made all the difference. Pat didn't just provide exercises. he created a comprehensive plan that targeted many of the causes of my injury, which gradually built up my strength and mobility. His knowledge and support have been invaluable throughout the process, always encouraging me to achieve more and extend myself, gradually reintegrating the activities I enjoyed before the injury, back into my weekly exercise and leisure routine, while ensuring I didn't hurt or aggravate my shoulder further in the process. Thanks to Pat's guidance and exercise program, I have regained almost full functionality in my shoulder but have also gained confidence in my body's ability to heal and grow stronger. Additionally, I've learned how to effectively manage my injury for the future. I wholeheartedly recommend Pat to anyone seeking expert care and guidance on their journey to recovery and improved fitness. Thanks Pat! Warmest regards, Lynne.

Fantastic experience: My wife and l attend classes twice a week and have been doing so for the last 8 months. The work out conducted by Patrick is first class and has challenged us such that our fitness level is very high for a late 60s age group. The equipment is modern and appropriate as is the gym. Patrick is a great fitness coach with a personality to match.

Fantastic experience: Pats great! The whole team are caring and supportive!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Pat and Craig more highly! Craig was very knowledgeable and encouraging for my initial appointments. I've since been doing the strength training classes with Pat and have seen massive improvements to overall health and strength. I've never been a weights person but I actually look forward to the classes. Pat is very knowledgeable, motivating and supplements the classes with additional health and nutrition tips and some fun banter. The studio is nicely air conditioned and equipment is new and clean. The classes are small and not at all intimidating and everyone is very supportive of one another.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending the guardian classes for the last 6 months after a set of injuries. I am so happy with the classes & personal attention. The small groups & Patrick’s wealth of knowledge & caring personality will make this a fantastic service. I highly recommend these classes !

Fantastic experience: Patrick has helped me a lot with weight loss, getting back into the gym safely and my nutrition. We've also been working on my long-term left-sided knee injury, and the associated flow in affects in my hamstring and ankle. I'd definitely encourage anyone wanting to get fit and healthy, lose weight safely, or tackle niggling injuries to book in with him!

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Craig for the stubborn constant hip pain after numerous physio sessions from somewhere with no result. After one hour examination and treatment with Craig, he gave me a diagnosis and a particular exercise to do at home. 3 days later, the pain has disappeared! It's almost magical! Thank you so very much. It feels great to be able to walk freely again.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Pat for 1 on 1 exercise physiology sessions for my chronic bad knees. We've been working on improving my strength and balance and this week I went for my first pain free 5km walk this year! Thanks so much

Fantastic experience: After struggling with a knee injury for some time, having tried a few different solutions without luck, I’m very glad I found Holistic Physio. Would highly recommend Pat who knows what he’s talking about and has some great experience with sports injuries. Good stuff team

Fantastic experience: I've recently started seeing Pat for exercise physiology in his Guardian exercise program. Really love how he is able to make my program specific to me. He is very knowledgable and caring, I'd highly recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: The Greatest Physio Practice in Sydney. The attention to detail, care, comfortability and knowledge provided by Ryan and his team is second to none. Highly Recommend.

Fantastic experience: Diagnosing one significant issue after another takes time. Craig Wakefield has not given up on me and my many spinal, joint and now tendon complaints. His knowledge and treatments are second to none, his patience is endless and he knows exactly when to recommend the relevant specialists who may contribute to help solve the problems. My case is complex but my progress continues with individual home exercises plus exercise physiology classes for strength and balance. "Just tell what to do and I'll do it." Thank you Craig and HP.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience at Holistic Physio Fitness - very knowledgeable, caring and hands-on practitioners and great facilities. Would absolutely recommend! Definitely reasonably priced and good location, with easy access.

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend enough. Craig has sorted out my neck, back, shoulder and hip on multiple occasions over the last few years. Fantastic place.

Fantastic experience: Great service. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: After seeing many physiotherapists and numerous other treatments and ultra sounds and other tests Craig diagnosed my pain in the hip immediately. Craig suggested I have an X-ray of my hip and surprise, surprise I need a hip replacement. The relief in finding someone that diagnosed and helped me with pre op Physio is to me lifesaving after 2 years of pain and frustration. Thank you so much Craig

For over 20 years I've seen lots of different physios across Sydney with my ongoing back and knee issues. Craig, Ryan, Andrew and the team at Holistic Physio are absolute guns - developing a comprehensive treatment plan addressing the root cause of my issues. Result is that now I have less reliance on physio visits... Really lucky to have them on the northern beaches – 5 stars for sure! Thanks again guys

Fantastic experience: Craig is absolutely fantastic. He is actually focused on getting you better rather than getting you to come back week after week - highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've seen 2 of the physios and they were great. I had horrible lower back and hip pain and not only did they reduce the pain they also gave me stretches to strengthen the muscles to prevent the pain reoccurring. Amazing results

Fantastic experience: Holistic Physio, great all round service!

Fantastic experience: This is the best physio around – I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I’ve had a few different injuries over the years and these guys have got me up and going in no time. They are thorough, and give you very realistic recovery exercises to do at home which work around a busy schedule. I couldn’t recommend Ryan and Andrew highly enough; fantastic people, absolute professionals.

Fantastic experience: The staff are very friendly and their aim is to get you up and going ASAP. Craig was very reassuring and informative. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: The best knowledge and advice on the northern beaches.. highly recommend.. there treatements and recommendation are spot on.. I’ve been there 3 times now and will never go anywhere else!!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing these guys for a few years now, and couldn't rate them highly enough! Craig and Andrew are true professionals in all aspects of physiotherapy, fitness training and much more. I have been visiting their practice for fitness training for a couple of years, but when I had a recent workplace injury, and knew I would need physiotherapy and recovery training, I knew exactly where to go. These guys run an excellent practice, with great friendly staff in a great environment. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great people and extremely helpful physiotherapy, had a knee injury and it went away quickly with their help

Fantastic experience: I am currently completing an Exercise Science degree at ACU where Andrew is tutoring me in the subject of Exercise Rehabilitation. I can say in all honesty that due to Andrews teaching style and enthusiasm that this has been my favourite subject and the one I have taken the most from. I have no doubt that in the future I shall continue to seek out Andrew for further advice and treatment.

Fantastic experience: After a lower back injury, Craig really helped me to get started back on the correct fitness path that I will be able to keep up with for my healthier long life. It was something i had meant to begin for quite some time but continued to put to the side. I have know found the way to make it fit into my daily existence. Craig and Andrew are both so caring and knowledgeable in their work. Thank you for helping to heal me! Warm Regards, Brandi

Fantastic experience: Andrew is a true wizard! I was left with the remnants of a frozen shoulder, which began to “freeze” 5 years ago. I now have full movement, thanks to Andrew. Through his exceptionally skilled and individualised treatment, he has been able to achieve what dozens of therapists (including other physiotherapists) have not - and all in the space of a few weeks! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Fantastic experience: I am currently being treated by Holistic-Physio-Fitness for a problem with my hip, after hip replacement surgery 3 years ago. Since my treatment started I have seen a rapid improvement, in both pain relief and flexibility.

Fantastic experience: great experience
