I had a chronic back issue 2 years ago, struggling to walk any distance. I saw Ben Bisset who put me in touch with the TA muscle, and reformer Pilates 2 things I new little or nothing about. I have been very focused on wanting to get hiking, playing golf, pickleball and riding. These 2 things Ben put me in touch with have been a life saver, highly recommend.
After 20 years of Radio-frequency Ablation after a motor bike accident I decided to seek alternative treatment. I’m new to this area and my neighbour suggested Ben Crow. It took one visit with Ben who recommended several months of treatment and it settled the pain. No drugs, just simple Physiotherpy so yes it worked for me and 100% recommend them (Ben)
I’m very grateful for the care and treatment I’ve received from Allied Physio. The GLAD program changed the way I think about and approach my knee issues and pain. Ben’s and Jem’s guidance through GLAD made adopting a new exercise program a positive experience. I’ve learned a lot and feel more in control of what I can do to manage pain and build strength. Thank you Ben for taking the time to listen and explain. I recommended Allied Physio to my son and partner and they have also been very happy with the care and treatment they received.
I tore my hamstring quite severely playing over 55's soccer. Jem and the team at Allied Physiotherapy were fantastic in treating my injury and reviving my muscle. Thanks so much, the team are highly recommended.
Ben was great, experienced and excellent advice. Highly recommend.
Jemuel was kind, professional, knowledgeable & helped 10-fold with my needs. Would highly recommend.
Genuinely couldn't recommend anyone better. Injured my knee hiking with a torn meniscus and struggled to walk for weeks. As a keen runner and gym goer I was looking for a sensible plan to get me back at it with realistic expectations which Ben B set out a plan to achieve. It took a little while but the first km and squat felt awesome!
Really professional, clear and great advice.
The best decision I ever made was to choose to see Ben Bisset for physiotherapy. At 58, I was horrified, scared and anxious to learn I had osteoporosis. I was also in need of post surgery help. Ben is a professional and his 20 years or more experience shows in the level of commitment and support he gives. He is steadfast, approachable and kind with good humour . The ability to listen and form a plan for you and your condition. This encourages self belief. I have been shown so many resistance and dumbbell exercises to do 3 times a week to maintain bone and build muscle. It is so enjoyable and great fun. I am addicted to feeling the resistance and strength. To feel resilient and good health. This Kinetic Link Training programme is an amazing prescription. I have had chronic back pain flare ups and Ben has provided relieving and healing manipulation so that I can continue to be strong. The team have this welcoming comforting and caring attitude that we all need when in pain. I believe that we are very lucky that Allied Physiotherapy have chosen to bring their expertise to Ocean Grove. Thank you
Ben Crowe is the best physio I have ever been to. In rehabbing after shoulder surgery he is encouraging, kind, supportive while also 'pushing' me in my exercises. Thank you, Judy
This year I have been fortunate to work with the team at Allied Physiotherapy. I participated in the GLAD program where the focus was on knee and hip issues. I loved the program and it led to strengthening my knees and hips greatly improving my mobility and more importantly how I see my own fitness. I am 74 years young and feel very positive about my fitness and ability to take on the tasks that life throws at me. The support from staff has been amazing. Always caring and encouraging. I have also see A physio for a shoulder issue and am on the road to recovery. I would recommend this group to anyone who needs to improve their strength and mobility in a welcoming professional environment.
The physiotherapists at Allied are comprehensive and super knowledgeable in their care. I feel confident with my rehabilitation journey after two ankle reconstructions this year. The support and guidance from the team is very reassuring and I see progress in my recovery every week. Thankyou.
I have made incredible progress with my neck and shoulder pain in a matter of weeks since starting with Allied Physiotherapy. Jem and Ben are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced Physiotherapists and they have helped me immensely. I couldn't be more happier with the experience. Good work guys! 👍
Ben and the team are terrific. Very tailored care that factors in my own goals. Love the variety of the 1:1 session option vs the group options for rehabbing in the gym. Would strongly recommend!
I've been going to allied physiotherapy in Ocean Grove for my chronic back pain. It's really helped! I've been getting regular remedial massage, dry needling and new exercises to improve mobility. Great local ocean grove physio - Highly recommend!!
