The team at Thrive Physio Plus are incredible - always going above and beyond to provide the best care. Their genuine commitment to helping me recover and stay well has made a real difference.
Maddy and the entire team here are absolutely fantastic! Professional, knowledgeable, and always welcoming. I’ve seen real progress thanks to their care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch physio support!
The team at thrive physio are so welcoming, helpful and friendly! Every staff member I've encountered has been lovely and more than willing to help. I visit for Watson migraine therapy and it's been a game changer in managing my chronic migraines. I also love that they not only specialise in other areas of physiotherapy but no matter what ailment I encounter, I know I'll be able to find the service at thrive physio. It means I can keep any physiotherapy treatment at the one place which is so helpful. Thank you for being such a great business!
I found Thrive Physio Plus through a Google search when my orthopedic surgeon, following knee surgery, recommended I undertake the GLA:D Program. And my experience with Thrive PP couldn’t have been better. I was able to see a GLA:D accredited physio (Maddy) the same day I walked in and started a program the next day. This included 2 one-on-one sessions with Maddy and 10 group sessions with a wide selection of the rest of the team. And they were all fabulous.
For a variety of reasons, including some unrelated deterioration of my knee, I needed to adjust my program quite often and the team was more than accommodating. And each physio I had in the group sessions were acutely aware of my potential limitations with my knee and adjusted my program accordingly.
I have no hesitation in recommending Thrive Physio Plus. 5 out of 5
Middle to late last year, I hurt my glute doing sport. I went and got assistance from Darcy for about 6-8 weeks and couldn’t recommend any other Physio in Adelaide. He had me from barely being able to walk to back running competitively in no time.
I’m new-ish to Adelaide. Had an accident and hurt my legs. Did a google search and booked an appt at Thrive based on all the reviews. And I am so glad I did. I’ve been seeing Kalita, who has a wonderful whole person approach. She explains things so well and has helped me see recovery and long term health in a truly positive way. I’m so grateful to her for her non judgemental, empathetic approach. I can’t recommend Thrive enough - from front desk to 1:1 treatment with Kalita, it’s been amazing. Thank you 🙌
Response from the owner:Hi A.D, thank you so much for your incredible review! We’re so glad you found us and that Kalita has been able to support you with her whole-person approach 😊 It’s so fantastic to hear that her care has made such a difference in your recovery and long-term health, this is why we do what we do! We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to the whole team! Thanks again for taking the time to write the review, see you around the clinic soon :)
Absolutely fantastic team! From day one, they really listened, tailored the treatment to my needs, and made the whole rehab journey smooth and effective. The team at Thrive is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about getting you back to your best. If I ever need Physio again, I wouldn’t go anywhere else—highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Hey Yas, thank you for your amazing feedback! We’re so happy to hear that you felt truly listened to and supported from day one. Helping people like you get back to their absolute best is what we LOVE to do, and it’s fantastic to know you had such a smooth rehab journey with us :) Your recommendation really means the world to us and we hope to see you again soon!
Thrive is great!!
As a fitness instructor I’ve confidently recommended Thrive to a lot of my members, I would never recommend a product/company that I didn’t believe in, as that will eventually reflect on me.
Over a few years I found myself needing a physio so naturally I went to Thrive.
After a few visits with Maddy she was able to fix my back and even help out with my own technique and training within the gym.
Thrive have a great approach assessing, treating and testing to ensure you are improving!
Although I only saw Maddy, I’d happily be seen by any of the team there.
Response from the owner:Hey Mike, thank you for such a thoughtful review! It’s amazing to hear that not only have you experienced great results with Maddy, but that you’ve confidently recommended Thrive to your own members over the years – that truly means so much! We love taking a well-rounded approach to treatment, and we’re so glad that you're back is feeling so much better! Onwards and upwards Mike! Catch you soon 😄
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.
Response from the owner:Hey Lucy, thanks so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you’ve felt welcomed and supported by both our physios and front desk team. Sophie is amazing when it comes to women’s health, and it’s awesome to hear she’s made such a difference for you! We love that you’re enjoying the gym and physio-led sessions too— we agree that it's such a great way to keep moving and feeling good 😄 We really appreciate your recommendation, and we’re so happy you found us. See you soon! 😊
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.
Response from the owner:Hi Spencer, thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear that Maddy has helped you reduce your pain and that you couldn’t be happier with your experience. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her! Thanks again for coming in to see us – we’re always here if you need 😊
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.
Response from the owner:Hi Victoria, thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear you felt welcomed and supported by the team, and that your rehab helped you get back on track. Even better that your treatment didn’t just fix the injury but set you up with a solid plan to keep building strength and flexibility! Can’t wait to see you again in our new space. Thanks again, Victoria! 😊
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.

Response from the owner:Hi Mark, thank you for the 5 stars! We really appreciate your support and are so glad you had a great experience with us 😊 We're looking forward to seeing you again soon!
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 😊
