Amazing clinic, with incredible physios & staff! The clinic itself is very warm and welcoming, and the admin staff are always happy & bubbly when you walk in. Sophie is an amazing Physiotherapist, especially with women’s health concerns like endometriosis, and I would happily recommend her to anyone experiencing any women’s health issues. She is incredibly empathetic, knowledgeable and down-to-earth. The gym facilities are also great, it is very handy to have Physio-led pilates & weight training exercise sessions as part of the treatments they offer. So pleased I was referred to this clinic, they have helped me so much. Parking is also very convenient, with free options behind the building, or across Fullarton road.
Maddy is the best!!She has helped me so much with reducing pain in my neck and back, I couldn’t be happier with her services.
Thrive Physio Plus provides fabulous service and a welcoming environment. All the staff are friendly and professional and helped me to get physically back on track. My specific injury was successfully treated and then a graduated rehabilitation program was designed to improve strength and flexibility. I am looking forward to exercising in the new and improved space in Highgate.
I sought out Thrive as a specialist service was offered that I required and I haven’t regretted it. The staff are professional and I have always felt very welcomed and comfortable asking for information and discussing issues and concerns.
Response from the owner: Hi Helen, thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you’ve felt welcomed, comfortable, and supported during your time with us 😊 It’s so important to us that our patients feel confident discussing their concerns, and it means the world to know we’ve been able to provide that for you. Thanks again, Helen – we’re here whenever you need!
Dylan helped me with vestibular migraines. He is excellent, can tell he is very motivated by his work and genuinely cares. He has helped me be informed and more knowledgeable on my health and ways to improve my lifestyle. 100% recommend
Response from the owner: Hi Jemma, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re so glad to hear about your experience with Dylan – he really is passionate about what he does and always strives to make a positive impact 😊 It’s wonderful to know he’s helped you feel more informed and empowered with your health. Thank you for recommending us, and we’re here to support you whenever you need 🙏
Having attended Thrive over a number of years, I cannot recommend the team more highly. I have been supported through two pregnancies, postpartum and my return to exercise, injuries and attended physio supervised exercise sessions and massage appointments. Every member of the team I have seen has been professional, knowledgeable and empathetic, ensuring I feel comfortable, well supported and have a clear understanding of my treatment plan. 5 stars!
Response from the owner: Hi Ella, thank you so much for your incredible review! It’s been our absolute pleasure to support you over the years, through pregnancies, postpartum recovery, and beyond 😊 We’re so glad to hear that you’ve felt comfortable, well-supported, and informed throughout your journey with us. Your kind words mean the world to the team, and we’re so grateful for your trust in us. Thanks again, Ella!
From sports injuries to women’s health, over the years I’ve seen multiple phyios at Thrive. On each occasion the wonderful team have been warm, empathetic and extremely supportive, tailoring each session to my specific needs. I always walk out with a clear vision on how to approach my recovery journey.
Response from the owner: Hi Tara, thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear about your positive experiences across the years with our team 😊 It’s so important to us that every session is tailored to your needs, and we’re glad you’ve felt supported and clear about your recovery journey each time. Your kind words mean so much – thanks again, Tara, and we’re always here for you! 🙏
I attended Thrive over a 2 month period initially having an assessment then taking part in weekly supervised sessions in their gym. At my age ( late 70s) I was endeavouring to pick up my water skiing form that I lost over COVID and Murray river floods. The suggested exercise program built on the required strength and balance to successfully resume my water skiing particularly jump starts. Over the 2 months I was evaluated and supervised by at least four physiotherapists from Thrive who were totally professional and friendly assisted by excellent equipment.
Response from the owner: Hi John, Wow, thank you so much for sharing your story here, what a fantastic outcome mate! This is exactly the sort of thing that motivates us, getting you back to what you love doing 🙏We are so happy that you're back water skiing, and thanks again for your lovely review 😊
Sophie is an incredibly professional, warm and supportive physio. I have seen her for a long time and wouldn't trust anyone else with any problem big or small. Incredible amount of knowledge on women's health issues and is not judgemental on any issue you want to discuss. Not forceful or trying to get you back for unnecessary appointments either. Empowers you to understand your body and things you can do to support yourself in your daily routine. Everyone needs a Sophie in their life. Thrive Physio is a warm and inviting place, clean and smells like a day spa haha. Front desk are polite and helpful. Flexible and make making an appointment easy. Thanks Thrive!
Response from the owner: Hi Emily, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're pleased to hear about your experience with Sophie over what sounds like a long time! It's fantastic to know that Sophie has made such a difference for you and glad that you have enjoyed the clinic environment, we put a lot of time and effort into this 😆 Thanks again Emily, it truly means so much to us 🙏
A warmly welcoming practice staffed by well-qualified physiotherapists who listen to their clients and tailor treatments to their specific needs.
Response from the owner: Hi Clare, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful experience with our team. Our goal is always to provide personalised care and ensure our clients feel heard and supported! We look forward to welcoming you to the clinic again soon!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your 5-star review Amanda, we very much appreciate it 😊

Highly professional and personal approach to my needs especially by physiotherapist Maddie S.
Response from the owner: Hi Sarah, thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you appreciated the care provided by Maddy, we think she's pretty awesome too 😆. Your feedback means a lot to us so thanks again 😊
After damaging my sciatic nerve, I was struggling to do even 1 block with my energetic border collie and it wasn't just the pain, it also made me feel very down. Then a work colleague recommended Thrive Physio where I met Kelsey! within 3 weeks my pup and I were doing 4 blocks, slower than normal but we are both sooo happy. Kelsey was amazing with the encouragement and exercise regime she gave me, couldn't recommend her high enough, really listens and makes everything easy to understand with regards to what I needed to do. The Thrive reception people were so welcoming, and I just love the vibe in the rooms and will now be joining the GLAD programme recommended by my rheumatologist and very lucky that Thrive provide this programme too.
Response from the owner: Hi Gina, thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! We are over the moon to hear you and your pup are back to exercising - how good is that! You have put in all the hard work to get there so kudos to you :) We look forward to helping you through the GLA:D program as well!See you around the clinic soon.
Thrive is the best physio practice I have ever been to! I went to Thrive with a knee injury. Very thorough consultations and my physio gradually added exercises and monitored my injury improvement, so I could reach my long term goals to hopefully minimise future knee issues. My physio is also super friendly, kind and supportive! What a pleasure, highly recommended!!
Response from the owner: Wow Yvette, thank you so much for your lovely review! We are so happy to hear that you felt the love, felt well supported and that you are smashing all of your goals 💪 This is what we love to hear!Keep up the awesome work Yvette, we'll see you in the clinic soon :)
My GP recommended Thrive Physio Plus when I got a knee injury. Kelsey has helped me along the journey to recovery. I could discuss my condition freely. We set up a goal, made a plan and worked together on it.I just came back from my hiking trip which I have done pain free and feeling stronger. Now I am preparing for a bigger challenge with her help. Thanks Kelsey
Response from the owner: Hi Eva, thank you for taking the time to write us this amazing review! Oh thats great to hear you able to go on your hiking trip without pain - we look forward to hearing about how the next one goes 😆We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Caring and courteous manner from all the staff. Professional and quality service to overcome medical issues.
Response from the owner: Hi Carmela, thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so pleased to hear your that you experience with us was a positive one. We pride ourselves of providing a high quality service, so we very much appreciate the feedback :)See you around the clinic soon!
The center has many positive aspects: it is well located, clean, the waiting time is appropriate, and the consultation space is adequate. The treatment is personalized and not standardized. I highly recommend it.
Response from the owner: Hi Marcela, thank you for your lovely review!It's great to hear your positive thoughts on your experience with us, we always aim to hit the mark on all fronts :)We appreciate the recommendation! We look forward to catching you around the again clinic soon.
I would highly recommend Thrive Physio Plus. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The owner even handled the front desk and made sure every person was offered beverages or seen to.My practitioner was amazing and had me back in the gym within a week with exercise program and support throughout my treatment.I will be going back if/when I injure myself again.
Response from the owner: Hi Matthew, thank you for taking the time to write us such a kind review! It's so great to hear that you're back in the gym mate - we always aim to keep our clients training wherever possible.We can't wait to welcome you back again soon (maybe not too soon though haha! - we hope you can stay injury free for as long as possible!).Thanks again Matthew :)
