Southside Physio Woden

Fantastic experience: Appointment on time excellent service

Fantastic experience: Easy to book through app, friendly and professional staff that took the time to assess my needs. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: After a year of back pain I decided to do something about it. It didn’t take Southside Physio long to correct the problem. Exercises, stretching, some dry needling by Matt and no more back pain. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Blessing diagnosed my sore knee quickly and did some good massage and strapping. And we talked about an on-going plan which was really useful. He provides a friendly and professional service and I am very grateful - taking away pain is one of the best things a person can do!!! :)

Fantastic experience: When it comes to health and wellbeing issues you want to go to people you can trust and feel that you have support from on your journey, Michael Irvine provided that for me, and gave me the confidence to continue on my Prostate Cancer journey, taking it one step at a time. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Nia was very thorough and gentle with our child. We got clear instructions on what to do and what had potentially caused the symptoms. She is clearly fabulous with kids - highly recommend!

Positive experience: Been there both for EP and physio. Very professional. Cameron has helped me a lot. Only bad thing is the wait time and the cost is a little prohibited.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Very professional and satisfied with my injury treatments.

Fantastic experience: Impressly capable physio in Marlo. Elbow radio schocwave therapy with new insights and exercises for the first time for a chronic tennis elbow injury.

Fantastic experience: Very professional. Good clear explanations

Fantastic experience: Hi it’s me Cristiano Ronaldo! Daniel from reception greeted me with a smile and delivered exceptional service! I look forward to my physio sessions each week knowing I may see Daniel.

Fantastic experience: I had been procrastinating about seeing anyone for knee and ankle problems for some time. The extent and speed of the improvements surprised me. My GP gave me an osteoarthritis diagnosis after a couple of visits to Cameron. Cameron provided a much better and more empathetic explanation than the GP, and made changes to my exercise plan accordingly. I still have some way to go but I walked 23km about a week ago (including Mt Pleasant and Red Hill) and had no issues down the stairs at the Alby (pub in Woden) after the walk. Six months ago I struggled down those stairs even without having just done a walk. If you're procrastinating about making an appointment with a physio (these guys or elsewhere), then do yourself a favour and make the call. (And do the exercises - they're not magicians.)

Fantastic experience: I saw Cameron at Southside Physio on recommendation from a friend. I've had a problem with pain down the back of my left leg for a couple of years and this can be caused by a number of conditions. I'm approaching 70, so I'm at the age where things can become chronic. Cameron gave my leg a physical assessment and then provided a management plan and possible time frames for improvement. He made it clear that it was a matter of months, not weeks and he has continued to introduce new strengthening exercises and stretches, as well as dry needling to stimulate the affected muscles. I am impressed by his manner - he is easy to talk to, explains what he is doing and listens to my feedback. Progress was slow to begin with, but I am walking much better now, with less pain, so I more than happy to recommend Cameron.

Fantastic experience: Martin greatly helped me with my injury and gave me good advice for what to do to prevent another one.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, and expertly diagnosed and cured my elbow problem. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Cameron for roughly 5 months and had such a great and pleasant experience. He helped in relieving discomfort and pain in my back/neck and also discovered a misalignment in my jaw that if not caught at the time he did could have caused harmful damage.

Fantastic experience: I have worked for several months with exercise physiologist Kyle Howson and this has been a gamechanger for me. I was struggling with an acute-back-injury-turned-hip-turned-knee issue for years. Stiffness and pain held me back from anything more than repetitive rehab exercises. Kyle evaluated my status and designed a bespoke and ongoing strength program that addressed not only my underlying weaknesses and imbalances, but also my long-standing dream of running again. He is great to work with. Friendly, and accessible between appointments, he knows his stuff, and always answers my endless questions. His between session support is also stellar - he works with me across emails, texts, and Strava where he monitors my progress from afar. A real team player. And finally, Kyle pushes me just that little bit harder than I think I can go. 5 stars to the guy who took me from 0 to my first 5K in years!!

Fantastic experience: Blessing was very considered in his approach, asking questions and getting an understanding of my knee injury, before working on my knee to ascertain the extent of the injury. Once that was ascertained he then massaged the knee and demonstrated exercises to help strengthen it. This was followed up by an email with detailed instructions on each exercise. Excellent service.

Fantastic experience: I visited due to issues with TMJ, and my physio therapist, Cameron, knew exactly how to address the problem. His treatment plan was effective right away. He was very kind, and I was very satisfied.

Fantastic experience: Bjarne is a highly qualified and highly able professional who cares about the well-being of his clients. I think he is above standard. His knowledge is immense.

Fantastic experience: A sanctuary of fitness

Negative experience: Used mobile OT for my kid. The first assessment went ok with them. 2nd day, the therapist was useless and not even doing the job and finished the session 45 minutes and charged for 1hr. We complained and asked for an experienced therapist, which they accommodated. However, for the 3rd session, this therapist charged us $140 for travel only saying there were no other children booked for the day, so we have to bear the full travel cost for the day. In general, they charge about $400 for a 1h session.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional staff

Fantastic experience: Southside physio fitted me in after I complained of acute pain. Marlo was thorough courteous and professional in his assessment and treatments. I happily recommend this practice and this practitioner.

Fantastic experience: Always great professional service across many physios

Positive experience: Martin (physio) and Matt (massage) have been great and helping with my cervical radiculopathy and other muscle and tendon issues I've had this year. They both understand autoimmune arthritis types, and Matt, in particular, has also shown good awareness of neurodivergence and various health conditions like narcolepsy, fibromyalgia etc.

Fantastic experience: My highly anxious 10yr old son and I recently saw Cameron. As soon as we left, my son said “can he be my forever doctor?” Cameron has a great approach, friendly, calm, informative and had my boy at ease

Fantastic experience: Everything was really easy. Lizzie was especially kind, clear and professional. Thorough examination, explanation and treatment. Thank you! Really appreciated it.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Cameron over the past few months for TMJ issues I’ve had for as long as I can remember. I have seen a significant improvement over this time and really appreciate his holistic approach to treatment. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Physio Marlo is an excellent, great and friendly person who makes your medical appointment easy going and finish the appointment in a timely manner

Fantastic experience: After a shoulder reconstruction surgery, I went saw Cameron at Southside Physio. He was amazing! He expertly treated my shoulder injury with a personalized plan, ran me through everything in my plan and ensured I understood and felt comfortable with the program. His friendly and encouraging attitude made a huge difference. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Getting older and playing competitive sports with the heart of a younger person sucks but luckily I’ve got Southside Physio to help me if/when things don’t go as planned. I’m particularly grateful to Cameron and the team for an incredibly positive recovery after my Achilles surgery. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: Cameron was great felt so much better after a couple physio appointments, definitely would go back

Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional appointment - very happy with all aspects of the experience. Cameron was knowledgeable and very helpful. Over a year on and still have no problems after a series of appointments to correct some issues I had.

Fantastic experience: Great group of physio's. Know their stuff and they make sure you have been heard and issues addressed, especially prostate issues.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Michael about Men's Health issues and I can highly recommend him. Very knowledgeable and professional.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Michael Irvine as part of my recovery from prostate cancer surgery. Michael is a leader in the field of men’s health and I have found his advice and the group ‘PROST” exercise classes that he runs at Stromlo Leisure Centre on Mondays and Thursdays to be essential to my recovery. The PROST group doubles as a de facto support group.

Positive experience: Nice, bright energy. Martin really knew his stuff which was really reassuring. Going again in another two weeks. Level of high expertise will assure my custom!

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Cameron for physiotherapy and have had a positive experience. He is knowledgeable and effective in his treatments. The centre is a good place for physiotherapy, and I recommend it to others.

Fantastic experience: I've been using southside physio for a few years since I initially saw Djordje for concussion rehab a few years ago. They have great facilities and great physios. I've now seen various team members for concussion, a sprained ankle, and complex TMJ problems and found them to be very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Michael was excellent. He explained the whole process and outcomes possible in detail. NeXT gave me some exercises I can do and what I need to do before the next appointment.

Fantastic experience: Matt was thorough and cautious with my neck issue and really took the time to understand my concerns and work with me to achieve some relief. I would definitely recommend him.

Fantastic experience: My 12yr old daughter had a sports massage from Michael in preparation for an upcoming sporting event. Very thorough, holistic, gentle nature, explained, engaged. She was feeling nervous and he eased her concerns. Highly recommend Michael and Southside Physio.

Fantastic experience: I was suffering from a lower back pain. I've went to see Marlo who was extremely helpful. He gave me some tips and exercises to follow. Back to normal in just couple of days. Thanks Marlo.

Fantastic experience: highly professional physio care

Fantastic experience: Their welcoming atmosphere, commitment and effective treatment plans alongside the group training sessions are excellent. I could not recommend them any higher. Shout out to Lizzie for all her help!

Fantastic experience: I was in Canberra and my cousin recommended Marlo physio at Southside Physio. I had a tear in my tricep muscles and concerned that I have recovered enough to resume my sports. Marlo was fantastic. He did number of tests to check my tricep muscles strength and gave full confidence for me to feel that I have recovered well and can get back to sports. Marlo was genuine and caring. Certainly talented with great insight and knowledge to treat patients. I will recommend anyone to see Marlo.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. I have had many massages but this has been the best at getting to the source of my problems and finding a plan to help me. Really enjoyable massage

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Southside Physio for several years, the treatment has always been great with good outcomes!

Fantastic experience: My experiences with the therapists here have been wonderful. They care about the issues I’ve had and work with me to get back to good health. Thanks Cam and Matt!!

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Martin over the past 2 years with all my running related niggles/ injuries. He's been a wealth of knowledge being a trail runner himself and helping me understand and manage my running related injuries. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been receiving treatment from Southside Physio Mobile since 2021 for Multiple Sclerosis, and my experience has been exceptional. My EP Diandra Martin is incredibly knowledgeable, providing effective home treatment plans and constant motivation and support. I highly recommend Diandra and the team at Southside Phisio mobile for their expertise, personalized attention, and genuine care. They have made a positive impact on my well-being and are an excellent choice for anyone seeking professional and compassionate care in exercise physiology.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with my EP Laura Fernon since April 2023 and the difference to my mobility, strength and balance has been transforming ! Laura is kind and compassionate and goes out of her way to ensure you feel good about what you are doing, so you keep doing it. I am truly amazed at the results in a few short months. I thoroughly recommend Laura if you are looking for an EP in the Canberra area.

Fantastic experience: Lisa was diligent and thorough in her assessment and I feel confident that, in her care, I am getting professional excellence. Eleanor lovely and patient at reception and Helen was a goddess to find a time for me. A great group of people and quality practice.

Fantastic experience: Cameron provided excellent advice, care and support following my MCL tear. I would highly recommend his practice.

Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Cameron enough for all his care and attention to detail. I went in with a sore shoulder and feel confident it will be resolved. great professional and wonderful service. Reception staff picked up my phone and organised a very prompt appointment. Thank you once again

Fantastic experience: Matt was very considerate and knowledgeable. I have previously seen Marlo and thought the same. Excellent team.

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Michael. Very knowledgeable, approachable and professional

Positive experience: Only reason for not 5 stars is for the lack of parking. With a pain in the back it might have been difficult for me to walk from the shops. Luckily I got one of the few spots next to the building. The initial treatment was amazing. So much relief! And having the exercises in an app is so convenient. Would be 4.5 stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Southside Physio for over 20 years. Bjarne and the team are incredibly knowledgeable, every issue I've ever had they've given me very effective treatment for, usually the issue is all but gone by the time the follow up appointment comes around.

Negative experience: Came in for wrist injuries for multiple sessions. Never got told what the injury was and every session was simply a massage - I did not fix my problem through the Physio, I had to resolve it myself. Waste of time and money. They only care about bringing you in for more sessions.

Positive experience: I have been going to a men's health +PROST program. The staff are very professional and supportive.

Fantastic experience: First time being in the physio and i gotta say good communication within the team plus clean environment too.

Fantastic experience: Empathetic professional - path ahead thanks Martin

Fantastic experience: Our initial assessment was superb. The reception staff was kind and attentive. Ms Diandra (EP) was amazing at assessing my daughter's requirements and getting her excited about starting the program. I highly recommend Southside Physio Woden.

Fantastic experience: Great massage

Fantastic experience: These guys definitely know their stuff

Fantastic experience: I had a car accident in January this year and was suffering from whiplash injury, disc bulging in neck and bone fracture in Lumbar back. But Michael Irvine helped me by designing the programme for next 8 weeks and it really helped me a lot. Djordje Cudovski also helped me check my concussion injury and gave me a big relief saying i don't have one. Diandra martin showed me some easy practical exercises which i could do it at home and gave me a print out of it which makes it easier to have a look at it while exercising every morning. I highly recommend Michael, Djordje and Diandra to new patients and would like to praise them for their professionalism, positive attitude and hardwork. May God bless them and all there dreams come. Best regards Anil Sharma . I

Negative experience: Very bad management and poor communication skills for bookings at the cost of patients. Useless service center. Called the Woden Centre but they booked in Tuggeranong. When visited Woden they asked us to go to Tuggeranong since the booking is over there and when visited Tuggeranong, they said we are running late and can’t make it the same day. Terrible health care service all around. Damage already done, so no point in fixing any further.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend physio Mr Martin . Just with two appointments my knee improved a lot. Thank you Mr Martin.

Fantastic experience: Lovely paediatric pysio, and a good price

Fantastic experience: 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 and am able to breathe easier. She has also given me a home exercise program and the motivation to keep it going. I cannot thank her enough for her professional advice and support. She clearly knows what she is doing. Ash Morgan

Fantastic experience: Great team out at Southside Physio. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Bjarne, Cameron and many others at southside for so long and I've not been let down once. From minor to major injuries through football and work, their team as tweaked my rehab and fixed my body on multiple occasions. So professional and courteous. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Great professional, friendly staff. Extremely knowledgeable and polite. Very satisfied. Have dealt with Cameron and Bjarne a lot, helped significantly in my athletic career.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facilities and service. Cam has managed my knee problems for many years and has got me back to playing sport week in week out. Best in the business!

Fantastic experience: Been going to Southside Physio for 5 years now. Cam and Bjarne are amazing and have always been able to fix me up and keep me going.

Fantastic experience: I’ve now had sessions with James and Simon to help with various back aches and issues. They were both extremely helpful, knowledgeable and personable. Cannot recommend enough. Would give six stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: Extremely professional physio's who take the time to explain and demonstrate all aspects of my recovery plan. Highly recommend for sports injuries and chronic pain.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Terrific care with specialised staff. Meniscus exercises worked a treat.

Fantastic experience: The staff at Woden Integrated Physiotherapy are bright and cheerful, making it a bit easier when you're in pain. Physios there are great, and will run you through your rehabilitation exercises to make sure that you're getting the most out if them, not just tell you what you need to do.

Fantastic experience: Excellent physiotherapy practice. Always had good experiences - very beneficial.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, very effective physiotherapists. They have helped me before when I had job and finance issues with an account I'm very appreciative.
