North West Physiotherapy: Reviews
Negative experience: Unfortunately, this Physiotherapy practice doesn't follow post-surgical guidelines for a lumbar laminectomy. 4 weeks post-surgery, a patient had minimal range of motion in their lumbar spine because the surgical wound was infected. Upon further inspection, it was documented the patient was erroneously provided dry needling twice per week. Dry needling around an orthopaedic surgical wound is CONTRAINDICATED. The patient was alarmed when she was informed that her surgery was infected by an incompetent person. Moreover, osteoarthritis is NOT a common diagnosis for a 24 year old. Additionally, sitting with a heat pack on your neck is NOT a recommended treatment for a cervical or lumbar spine injury. Instead of churning 20-30 patients through the door with just one physiotherapist on a Saturday, perhaps this practice needs to reconsider who really is an appropriate candidate for Physiotherapy. Not everyone is eligible for Physiotherapy if it's contraindicated. Moreover, not all physiotherapists have over 15 years of clinical experience assessing and treating spinal conditions.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been regular at Northwest Physio for years. I had my first consult with Cooper today and he did an amazing job. He was professional and friendly. He a great attitude and his expertise shone through. A fantastic career ahead. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: Came in with some leg/nerve issues and Matthew was very helpful, factored in mobility & explained things really well, gave me some great exercises I plan on using long term & made sure that I left feeling confident about the recovery. Reception was also very friendly.
Fantastic experience: Very easy to book an appointment and get treatment. Have seen several physio's there and all have been great, knowledgeable, hands on and above all given relief to my injuries. I have been here many times over the years and come back here periodically when needed. Highly recommend this great practice. Also reception staff are very friendly.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Prompt caring. Josh is fantastic, can cater for my health plan.
Fantastic experience: Duncan and the team at North West Physio (Everton Park) have been godsends in treating my injury. I am always able to obtain an appointment with fast turnaround and the treatment is professional and concise. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Was recommended this physio therapy practice by my specialist after knee surgery and it didn't disappoint. From the reception staff to all the physiotherapists, their approach was polite, measured and professional care. A special acknowledgement goes out to John Brady my physio for 5 months who got me through the highs and lows of rehab. I didn't even hold it against him that he grew up in NSW. Although, I'm sure he has some way to go to improve his golf game (this is a sad story). Thank you John for your patience, understanding and considered approach to my rehab. I highly recommend this practice and in particular John.
Fantastic experience: John is a true gentleman and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Very good advice given at appointment and easy to understand them. Duncan is excellent at his job.

Fantastic experience: This is a very supportive environment with expert staff. I attend the Monday pilates class with John who makes it entertaining and tailors the exercises.
Fantastic experience: Both my son & myself have been seeing Alex for a number of years now. We have always found his service exceptional and would have no hesitation in recommending him to my family and friends. His recovery plans are always well planned and he always takes the time to explain everything. His ongoing support & after service is like no other.
Fantastic experience: My neck feels great thank to Alex
Fantastic experience: Bec is a marvel and knows what she is doing. I have back/ neck problems and am responding well to the exercises and massage all carried out under her professional no fuss guidance. Bec’s knowledge is unlimited .

Fantastic experience: My experience at North West Physiotherapy has been very positive. The reception staff are very attentive and the booking and paying process is seamless. I have been very fortunate to be treated by resident Physio John Brady. In all of my sessions John showed genuine care and explained to me in detail what the purpose of the session was and how the treatment he applies will contribute to resolving my area of concern. I recommend North West Physiotherapy and John for anyone who is seeking treatment.
Fantastic experience: Alex is really good .
Fantastic experience: Bec is brilliant! Really gets to the root of the issue and gives the best treatment options. Wendy on Reception is very welcoming and easy to work with to find suitable appointment times.
Fantastic experience: I have tried different physio's throughout the years and Rebecca at North West Physio beats them all hands down. She listens and works on you the whole time, where other centres do a bit then put you on machines the rest of the time. All the staff are very friendly. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: John Brady is a standout physio and has improved my physical health more than any physio I’ve seen across the past 6 years. It is his ability to truly listen and understand you as a person and then prescribe individualised treatment which has made the biggest difference. Plus his super friendly and laidback personality makes the sessions very enjoyable, while always getting the job done. The whole North West team is consistently helpful and friendly. The clinic really feels like a safe space which is exactly what you want when dealing with your health. I always walk away feeling better, with a clear plan that keeps me tracking towards my health goals. If you are looking for someone to truely undertand your health needs and provide treatment and direction, you without a doubt want John and North West apart of your personal health care team.
Fantastic experience: They are welcoming and professional. I was with them almost every week for a period of a year. They helped me a lot with their flexibility and knowledge. Special thanks to Alex!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to physio at NWP for many years. The staff are friendly and very good and finding the solution that works best for you. Highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: My go-to physio on the Northside! The staff are always so welcoming and professional. John has been my physio for the last two years, he has a wealth of knowledge and is goes above and beyond to ensure his patients get better and stay fit in the long run.
Fantastic experience: John is a great physio. He’s knowledgeable, hospitable, easy to get along with and it’s evident that he enjoys what he does. I especially like that he accommodates work and other commitments for you. Thank you John!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing John Brady for a few years now…I’ve had lower back issues and not sure where I’d be without Magic Hands Brady…Professional, Knowledgeable and absolute legend!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend North West Physiotherapy! I’ve been going to this business for four years after previously using two other clinics. The team members including receptionists are very friendly and welcoming and physiotherapists are exceptional! In particular, I am treated by John Brady and John has exceptional skills. I’m often visiting with severe pain and leaving with major relief and improved flexibility. John is also an accredited Pilates instructor and has tailored my sessions to include both reformer exercise and physio. I haven’t felt this good in 10 years, I can do far more now physically and it’s opened up more opportunities on my weekends to venture out into new and old activities that I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy without John’s treatment. John is also quite personable and the sessions are always fun and engaging. Thanks for all you do John! Your care and attention is very much appreciated! Cam
Fantastic experience: Love love love my Pilates with John . John is an amazing Pilates instructor very knowledgeable in his field and the workout programmes are spot on . I have the best time in the class whilst still getting a great workout .Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Have been enjoying Pilates for the last two years with John and really feel on top of the world after class, even if I was not in the best of moods when I arrived. Patricia
Fantastic experience: John delivers an excellent Pilates class, both challenging and fun. He checks in with each of us helping us to do each part. He caters the program to support each person’s level of fitness. John’s classes are always in high demand, quite simply because he is “best in class”, an instructor that knows our strengths and sore points, explains the exercise and is involved with all of us.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding team who delivers excellent results. The Pilates class with John Brady is absolutely first class. A fun class that works the whole body and delivers excellent results. As a Defence veteran, who trashed their body throughout a long career, this class has provided simply the best outcomes for me of anything I have tried - and that is a lot.
Fantastic experience: John runs an excellent Pilates class! He adapts the program to suit each person’s needs / anbility levels and it has been the biggest help in recovery from injury.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to North West for over 10 years now and I couldn’t be happier with the service I receive from the team.

Thanks for the great service North West!!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been attending northwest since 2017. We have seen a few practitioners in the early days until we saw Roniel Prasad and he has been our “go to” since. We cannot speak more highly of Ron and his team from the lovely reception staff, fellow staff members and the broad range of services they offer. Ron is enormously talented, passionate in his profession and knowledgeable. His communication is always clear and he ensures good care of us, helping us to understand what is happening and why and options in getting us back moving the best we can wether that be hands on techniques or tailored exercises and advice to support and correct. We have no hesitation recommending Ron and the team at Northwest physio. Thank you so much for your care so far!

Fantastic experience: Matt is amazing and very thorough with his knowledge!!
Fantastic experience: I was referred to North West Physiotherapy in Everton Park after I a back injury at work. I was quite nervous about physio causing more pain and discomfort to the already intolerable pain I had felt from the injury. Matt was my treating physiotherapist and he continuously checked in to make sure I wasn’t in too much pain or that there wasn’t too much pressure at any given point. He gave me multiple exercises to help strengthen my muscles which in turn helped ease a lot of pain from my back. I felt very looked after and am now back to feeling 100%. I thank the team at North West Physiotherapy and especially Matt for always showing kindness!

Fantastic experience: Matt was awesome providing me with precise exercises for helping me get "the motor started" I'm very grateful for your patience and expertise.excellent job.
Fantastic experience: Matt always takes time and care and is thorough and professional and makes me feel at ease.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Bec at the NWP for some time now when I go for appointments with her I feel confident about my progress Bec is very understanding and listens to how you are feeling, before coming to NWP I was very anxious about the process but since I’ve been seeing Bec I have been looking forward to my appointment with her as I have seen amazing progress within myself all thanks to her.
Fantastic experience: Bec is a wonderful leader of our group physiotherapy session. She is observant, asks good questions and - more importantly - listens to the answers!

Fantastic experience: Hi, I have been seeing Josh for the last 8 weeks and was unable to rotate my spine. Since seeing Josh I have now got full rotation and we are working on expanding this to make my core strong to keep my back and body in good shape. Thanks Josh
Fantastic experience: Excellent quality care getting back on my feet from fractured ankle.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend John Brady at EP physio. My first session was 7 months post achilles tendon rupture, unable to walk properly, and after 7 sessions (3 months) with John I can now run, jump and am well on the way to being back on the netball court. John and the staff are super friendly and encouraging. I had a great rehab experience and I couldn’t recommend John enough. Thanks heaps!
Fantastic experience: Ronnie and the team at Northwest Physio are awesome. I have a condition ATM where I need daily treatment and don't always get the same physio each day due to me wanting the same time every day. However regardless of who I see I still get the same level of skill and quality of service from all the physio there. Past experience with other physio places had not provided this level of standard. If you want good service, consistent professional treatment and good value for money then this is the Physiotherapy place for you. There is also a lot of other services offered like Pilates to help you recover and build strength. Check them out for yourself, you won't be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: Great place very professional more than happy to recommend
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing physios who work for the Everton Park location of North West Physio for approximately 3 years now. I live on the south side but will always make the effort to be treated here. After years of dismissal about my pain and being told to stretch it I have had hands on treatment that have proactively rehabbed my medical condition to the extent that I don't need physio as regularly. This just go to prove how knowledgeable and caring the staff here. I will always recommend North West Physio for helping give my quality of life back.
Fantastic experience: As a family, we attend the Monday 6pm class & love it. Physio John is amazing! All ages and different levels of fitness are catered for. We highly recommend Physio Pilates at North West Physiotherapy Everton Park ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: The North West Physiotherapy is amazing! I see two Physiotherapists, John and Ronnie, and one Exercise Physiologist, Jason. I have a physical condition and they have all helped me so much throughout 2023. Go to this physiotherapy because they will fix you in no time. They are very friendly and very understanding. They are 10/10. :)
Fantastic experience: As a ndis participant I have found Northwest Physio extremely helpful. They listen to me and fix any problems that arise. They gently encourage me to strengthen my body and expand my horizons without putting too much pressure and pain on my body. The staff are always kind and welcoming and ready to help any way they can.
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting this practice for several years, and have seen many of the physio's and the exercise physiologist and have had an excellent experience with each of them. Frequently I get instant relief from whatever injury I have, as well as guided exercises to keep healthy moving forward.
Fantastic experience: I've tried quite a few different physios and this practice is excellent. They seem to always run on time and I've been really happy with the advice and results.
Fantastic experience: Been going here two years now. Perviously other physio clinics I’ve been to seem to care more about you seeing them once or twice a week, almost like a cash grab. The team at North West Physio clearly focus more on helping you become injury free so you don’t need to see them as regularly. The exercise’s they give you are way more outside of the box instead of your generic “Just stretch” advice. I can’t recommend Ron enough! He always knows what the problem is and how to mitigate the symptoms. He’s very knowledgeable and super friendly.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful clinic with professional and friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: The place is awesome and the staff are awesome and very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: This practise is amazing. John and Matthew are exceptional physiotherapists. It is amazing how much they listen, care and understand and it is astonishing how they want not only the best for their clients. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the whole team at North West Physiotherapy. My whole family have been attending for many years and couldn’t be happier with the service and help from the dedicated team. Sports injury help for my children and pain management support for myself. They offer solutions that work with flexibility and great appointment times.
Fantastic experience: I discovered Northwest Physio thanks to a friend's recommendation, and I'm glad I did. The exercises and massages have already made a noticeable improvement.

Fantastic experience: I attend the Pilates classes run by Tim, John and Callum and am really noticing an improvement in my strength and core stability. The class can be tailored to you if you are suffering from an injury or just need to work on overall strength. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in starting Pilates!
Fantastic experience: My teenager has been attending this clinic with Ron for a long time and will continue for future treatments. They have handled his recovery due to surgeries from cancer with ease. Their professional approach and techniques along with providing understanding and support have and continue to improve his abilities and confidence with each visit. Definitely can recommend this clinic!
