Best physiotherapists in Adelaide: find options near you

My first appointment with Toby was exactly what I wanted and needed. He worked really hard to understand me and my health and has filled me with confidence that he will help me. His approach was holistic and certainly more comprehensive than any physio I have dealt with. Not rushed at all and I am confident that a great plan will come together.

I recently had a physiotherapy session with Toby Moen, and I was incredibly impressed. Toby was not only friendly and approachable, but also thoroughly professional and deeply knowledgeable. He took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and made me feel genuinely cared for throughout the session. It’s rare to find someone who combines expertise with such warmth and compassion. I can’t recommend him highly enough—he’s truly exceptional at what he does! Thank you very much toby.

These guys really know what they’re doing. As a movement and body geek, I was met with enthusiasm and broad-range knowledge.

Toby was ready to meet me where I was at, debunk my misconceptions of “the right” posture backed by research and spoke directly to my questions and goals. He provided take home notes that were clear, in my own words and accessible for me. I can change my training, confidently knowing that I doing right by my body.

Beautiful space, vibey and down-to earth. Great for athletes and serious trainers. Highly recommend.

I cannot thank Jed and Jack at FORM Physio enough for their incredible support during my recovery from a work-related back injury. From day one, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Their personalized approach, patience, and encouragement helped me regain my strength and confidence. Thanks to their expertise, I am now fit and pain-free. I truly appreciate everything they have done for me. Thank you, Jed and Jack, for going above and beyond—I highly recommend FORM Physio to anyone in need of excellent care!

I’ve been to Form twice, for separate issues. Why only twice? Because the advice I got worked. And that’s the point. If you follow the advice and do the work, you’ll see them less. Which is fine by Toby. As he said to me, “if you keep coming back for the same issue, then we aren’t doing our job”. And that’s the type of honesty I respect when it relates to my health. In short: the team at Form are excellent. Highly recommended.

I thank Toby and Jack and the team at Form Physio. I was at my wits end thinking I would never recover from my knee replacement until I went to Form Physio. They gave me so much help positive mind set that I could come back from this knee replacement. They went above and beyond to help me through my recovery. Thanks again to the Team.

James was really friendly! He took time to understand my pain and he gave me suggestions for the exercises. Overall! It was a wonderful experience.

Best remedial massage that I have ever had. Pavel is very skilled and knowledgeable. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Darius is an excellent physio – professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely took the time to understand my injury. Highly recommend.

It’s been an exceptional experience with City Physio and specifically with Physiotherapist Simon and the Remedial Massage Therapist Pavel. After suffering from whiplash due to a car accident. Simon’s expertise and care have been evident from the very first session. They listened to my concerns, provided a treatment plan, and have helped me make significant progress in my recovery. Both Simon and Pavel are professional and personable, with a down to earth approach. I feel confident and supported in my path to recovery.

Had a remedial massage with Pavel. Excellent service, great conversation, advice, and explanation throughout the whole appointment. What a legend!

The worst physio I have ever been to. I had Mr Simon Mew treat me twice for headaches and both times were perfunctory. His “massage” was more like caressing, and he did it absentmindedly while playing with his phone (he only used one hand, the massage was intermittent without any force). After 15 minutes, he couldn’t wait to tell me that the treatment was over, without any stretching or daily maintenance advice, and didn’t even ask if I felt better. If he doesn’t know how to do physiotherapy, then he must be racist to treat me like this.

I’ve been to many different physios who all use massages as a recovery method, and after visiting them, I rarely found that I had received a good massage. Many of these physios would often go too light on the massages. This is the opposite with Linda; she ensures that she delivers an amazing hands-on massage, as well as the occasional cupping and dry needling session.

I’ve been going to Linda for about 6 years now for treatment of an ongoing inflammatory disease. Her treatment of my condition has always been excellent. Simon has also treated me for trismus following wisdom tooth removal, which was very effective and allowed me to talk, sing and eat without pain (I’ve never experienced pain like it!). Highly recommend her and the whole team at City Physio.

I wish to commend Mukul Singla from Therapia Sports and Spine for his exceptional management of my low back pain. His thorough assessment, evidence-based treatment, and clear guidance ensured a complete recovery and return to full function. His approach was holistic, addressing both immediate pain relief and long-term prevention strategies. I am deeply appreciative of his professionalism, expertise, and patient-centred care, and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to others.

Big Shout out to the Whole Therapia Team!!
I can’t thank the team at Therapia Sports & Spine in Adelaide CBD enough! I’d been battling chronic lower back pain for years and honestly thought I’d just have to live with it. I’d tried everything — but nothing stuck. Right from my first appointment at this amazing physiotherapy clinic in Adelaide CBD, they made me feel understood.

Mukul and his team didn’t just treat the pain; they actually taught me why my back was hurting and gave me a simple plan to fix it long term. The exercises, posture tips, and regular check-ins made all the difference. If you’re looking for real results with back pain physiotherapy in Adelaide, don’t look anywhere else. Therapia is honestly the best team you could have on your side!

I’ve been seeing Dev for physio in Adelaide and couldn’t recommend him more highly for my ACL rehab treatment. He’s professional, knowledgeable, and really takes the time to understand and treat the root cause and a tailored action plan to get me back to playing basketball again. Highly recommended Dev!

I’m so glad I decided to try this physio. Mukul is brilliant at explaining exactly what is going on in terms that I understand. His attention to detail is fantastic and gave me lots of insight in regards to my body and health. Mukul goes above and beyond to follow up and ensure the programs are working for me. I’m also impressed with the rest of the team! The team running the Pilates classes are attentive and have given great suggestions. My health has improved significantly since starting with Therapia and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them

I was only in Adelaide for a couple of days and had real issues with pain in my glutes and hamstrings. As we were travelling around Australia for seven weeks it was a real problem.
I managed to get Dev’s last appointment on the day I was leaving and he was wonderful! He asked what I wanted to achieve as it was a one off appointment which was basically to reduce the pain and know what to do to start to recover.
He listened to the issues, examined me, then did some manipulation and dry needling.
He gave me exercises to do and sent me a letter to pass on to the next physio I saw (said I needed to see someone every week).
He also said other physios could contact him if they had any questions.
What a service! I couldn’t ask for any more and really appreciated Dev’s concern and care in the short time I saw him.
Thank you Dev!

Mukul and the Team at Therapia are true professionals in the field of physio!
I’ve had the pleasure to work with them and a couple of clients in my role as a personal trainer. Each time we collaborate we form a plan suited to the exact individual needs of the client. (Which is the way it should be ).

It’s an honour to work with these guys.
I highly recommend them!

Hip surgery prepared

I had a challenge with hip replacement put off for a year so I sought the help from Mukul and it was the best decision I made. My surgery went well and my body recovered faster with the preparation undertaken with Mukuls supervision. The treating physician’s are astounded with my progress and stability .
Thanks Mukul and team it was worth the effort.

I was recommended to attend specialised physiotherapy at Human Kind for pre and post surgery. Amanda’s expert knowledge and therapy approach has given me great confidence in being able to manage and eventually resolve my health needs.
The staff are warm and friendly and the atmosphere is one of authentic welcome and connection with clients and members alike.

A little bit about myself, I have severe hearing loss, its not that I can’t hear its that I might miss interpret what you say, therefore I’m a highly observant person and aware of my surroundings.
I love to draw figurative and landscape Art.
I’ve had positive experiences with the Human Kind Team being recognised, giving me a sense of self worth ! A good morning, hi Mark, how you going ?
Yogi member’s are talkative and respectful too.
In two relationships which were important to me, I finally walked away from 24 years of narcissistic abuse, where I felt controlled, manipulated and not respected. I worked extremely hard everyday to just get myself up, out of bed and head to Yoga on a regular bases.
Why did I stay in those relationships ? For my now 3 adult children and 2 teenage children.
Yoga has been a vital part of maintaining my mental heath and keeping my body strong, I started Yoga in 2001 with Sue Czuchwicki (Yoga Fusion) then in 2023 with Ellie Johns (Equilibrium) and continued my journey on with Human Kind in 2024.
All the staff at Human Kind have been very supportive, shown respect, kindness, a smile and a sense of your OK, we’ve got your back.
A special thank you to Annabel Saies your encouragement has been amazing.”Your on a good pathway Mark”
Jemima Thomson for just listening and not judging.
Triton,Tessa, Adam, Becca, Ben, Claire, Alicia, Brendo, Dan, Juanita, Mila, Nicola, Temeka, Steve, Tom, Tyler, Vanessa, Virginia, Bianca and Pippa you have all played a role in my journey of healing.
I have felt save at Human kind, I’m a self taught Yogi, I believe Yoga is meditative, if you can connect your breathing with your body, mind and spirit then this is the highest sense of balance, once in this space. I feel nothing around me, “I feel balanced and strong” its an amazing feeling.Regards Mark Bennett

I’ve been to humankind physiotherapy quite recently for shoulder restriction and am having the best treatment with Alison. She’s professional, listens well, works with you, and target treatment plan for realistic bite-size outcomes. Thank you . I’m so pleased you’re able to guide me up the hill to where the sun shines .

Recently I saw Ben whilst performing at the Adelaide Fringe, I had ongoing issues with pain in my forearms which impacted my performance on aerial apparatus. I had seen a sports doctor in Melbourne but to little/ no improvement. From the outset, Ben’s hugely practical approach to identifying the problem was to a level of detail I hadn’t encountered from other professionals. He conducted a number of tests and questions, and then subsequent tests from my responses which gained a much more accurate diagnosis I had previously received. For me I would recommend Ben mainly for his understanding of how varied lifestyles can be and that for some people, particularly those with highly physical jobs, taking an extended period of ‘rest’ or ‘time off’ simply isn’t an option. Instead he works around your lifestyle to find the best solutions, both short and long term. To that end we found exercises during Fringe that prevented my injury from worsening and managed my pain while doing 6+ acrobatic shows a week for the month. I strongly believe that my performances were sustained to the best of my ability due to the care I received from Ben. As well as his clearly extensive knowledge of the body, Ben was excellent at being extremely specific in his suggestions and instructions, explaining the more complex scientific and physiological stuff, having no problem answering my endless questions about recovery time etc. and also just checking in that you as a patient and person were happy with how things were going. His knowledge and professional manner while being very open and approachable are a hugely reassuring quality that I think is invaluable when injury recovery can be so demoralising and daunting. The exercises and suggestions he gave me to continue since leaving Adelaide have brought my pain to the lowest it’s been in 6 months. He also does some awesome needling which I would highly recommend. The guy’s a bloody legend.

From the moment I first walked into the reception area @ Human Kind, I could feel that I was in a place filled with light and positive energy.
Annabelle, on the desk at the time, was so welcoming and helpful and made me feel ‘at home’. I joined in the coversation and as I was experiencing pain @ the time this was a welcome diversion.
From my first session with Sam, the physio, I felt totally supported.
He is a great listener and is empathic, taking a holistic approach to the treatment.
Good sense of humour as well.Very important!
I have continued with my treatment on a semi regular basis and always find it a relief and pleasure to once again, walk through the door into ‘Human Kind’.

Sam and the HK community have been wonderful. I recently had back surgery and I have been supported every step of the way. From a follow up email, phone call, hands on therapy and at home exercises. It has been lovely to work through this process with Sam and Becca.
Would 100% recommend!

I have been going to Human.Kind on and off for 4-years, it is such a welcoming community that I always seem to find my way back!
I love that they offer a magnitude of classes including Pilates and meditation, alongside their yoga offering. I have also seen the physios at Human.Kind which have been a huge support in my overall health journey. Couldn’t recommend more!

Highly recommended. I have been seeing Joel for my lower back pain for few months now and he did an amazing job in my recovery, using both exercises and dry needling. They take time to properly assess the conditions and create individual care plans. Charlotte in the reception is very friendly and professional and helped me with last minute appointments.

Joel is a magician. I visited him last Wednesday with acute pain (9 on 10 after strong painkillers) from a twisted back/ pinched nerve. With just 2 sessions, I am feeling so much better (2/10 without any painkillers). His suggestions, the exercises and the therapy have helped me immensely.

I strongly recommend the center. The staff is very talented and professional.

Highly recommend! I love everything about this place. Susan is absolutely amazing, saved my neck and shoulders and also gave great antenatal Pilates sessions. Shazia is my new fave, fixed my lower back when I couldn’t move at all. Already recommended to my partner and colleagues.

I’ve been seeing different physio’s over the years and I can say hands down Kinnari is one of the best in the business.
Followed her from Melrose Park because she does the best dry needling I have ever experienced. She has a lot of knowledge and spends the time explaining to you what she is about to do and the best step’s moving forward to help your recovery.

Christina has and is still helping me improve my back issues and mobility. She has supportive and taught me so much on what I can do to improve my posture. Even though we’re still going through treatments, I’ve been seeing her regularly and Christina has made a huge improvement. She’s amazing at what she does, and I wouldn’t trust any other physio! Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Core Physiotherapy & Pilates Studio. Their expert team seamlessly combines physiotherapy and pilates to deliver outstanding results. I experienced relief from back pain through their personalised approach. The studio is well equipped, and their scheduling options are convenient. They have truly made a positive impact on my overall well-being!

Been seeing Joel for regular physio work since the start of the year and have loved every session. He has helped me with many issues from back pains at work to muscle injuries from competitive sport and I couldn’t imaging going to anyone else.

As a working dancer, singer, actor and acrobat, I’ve been working with Ken for a few years now after a lifetime of physical challenges due to a combo of my own anatomy and rigorous training and performing. Ken has provided me with care, understanding, comfortability and support, as well as a profound and constantly evolving wealth of knowledge. I can very confidently say that Ken has been one of the greatest and most powerful influences on the health, capability and positive potential of my life and career. I’m so thankful to keep achieving my goals and living my dream life thanks to him.

Have been to many physiotherapist and chiropractors over my time, but when referred to Ken from a CrossFit coach, I won’t waste my time and money elsewhere. I’ve been seeing Ken for a few years now, and he’s hands down the best physio I’ve ever worked with. He doesn’t just treat the symptoms—he actually gets to the root of the problem and fixes it properly. Every session feels purposeful, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re tired of quick fixes and want real, lasting improvement, I can’t recommend Ken enough!

Ken is an exceptional physio—extremely welcoming, positive, and genuinely invested in his patients’ progress. It’s rare to look forward to medical appointments, but with Ken, I did! Every session felt productive, with noticeable improvements and real, tangible benefits.

What sets Ken apart is his holistic approach. Rather than just focusing on a single pain point, he takes the time to examine your body mechanics and explain why these issues occur in a way that makes rehab more effective and helps you better understand how your body moves. Thanks to Ken, my recovery was smoother and more informed. Highly recommend!

Ken is the best physio I’ve ever been to. He looks at you holistically, and considers every aspect of your life that could be contributing to your issue, not just looking at the musculoskeletal and trying to alleviate isolated symptoms (I.e. comorbities, lifestyles, emotional health). His knowledge is incredible. HIGHLY recommend!!

Ken has been my physio for many years now and is fantastic at what he does, he has helped me understand my body so I can continue to do the activities I love to do. He goes above and beyond for his clients and makes their recovery his top priority. Highly recommend Ken!

Ken is basically a wizard! Often physios will put you through painful massage to release muscles and gain movement, but not Ken. His knowledge of how the body works and what needs releasing to fix the problem, not just the symptoms, is mind blowing. Honestly could not recommend a better physio!!!

I’ve seen multiple physiotherapists over the years and rarely experienced long-term improvement despite following all their recommended exercises. However, my visits with Ken at Four Axis Physio have been a game changer. In just a few comprehensive, hour-long sessions, he helped resolve my plantar fasciitis, correct my walking form, and vastly improve the limited range of motion in my elbow. Ken truly knows his stuff—he takes the time to understand your issues and tailors the plan to ensure real results. Previous Physio’s, don’t seem to go deep enough with their assessments and often appear to be treating items that are not the root cause of the issue. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

I saw Henry Lambert yesterday for a sports injury and opinion on rehab and surgery vs non-surgery routes etc. He was fantastic. Passionate, good listener, clear explanations, thorough examination and took his time to look at scans and show me things from my scans to help me understand my injury. Overall very happy and would recommend. Thanks

Alex at Saunders Physio in Middle Park was fantastic in assessing, treating and providing an ongoing plan for a knee injury. He was very thorough in performing various tests and investigating potential related deficiencies to minimise the risk of re-injury and further issues. Alex instilled confidence through his competence, professionalism and friendly demeanor. Would highly recommend.

I’ve seen to see three of the physios here and have had exceptional care on every visit. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and show a real dedication to patient care, and getting the best results for you. I would strongly recommend them for any sort of sporting injury, rehab or pain management.

Sorted out my damaged spine and pelvis so I can at least function a bit again. I still get flare upset but they sort them out right quick.

Been coming here for 3-4 years, fixed all my injuries, allowed me to play sport again in a short span of time after a major injury. Absolute legends!

Always feel better after seeing these guys. Great service

Extremely thorough. They always know the problem and more than anything they know how to fix it.

Josh is a legend! For the first time in 10 years & after numerous other allied health professionals, I have barely any pain in the areas in my body that have needed help for a long time. The cost of a visit is priceless compared to being mobile 🙂

Have been a massive help to me and many people I know for a long period of time. Keep up the awesome work

Money back guarantee apparently does not mean that at all.

I saw James for months. I told him at the first session money is an issue for me. I asked if I could see anyone cheaper than him personally. He quickly says that he is the only one with the experience to manage this. I had asked the receptionist maybe I see James for a consult and then see someone cheaper for follow up? Apparently this wasn’t possible.

In the first session James says yep, we should be able to fix you in 2 or 3 sessions. In the second session he says yep, should be able to fix you within 6 months.

And then when I am no better after months of treatment, and ask about this money back guarantee, I am given the runaround for TWO MONTHS, and then denied because “James noted improvement”. Oh the guy making the money says I’m getting better? I’m not any better James! Hope you sleep well at night taking advantage of people!

I went to see Kenneth at Advanced Physio for my neck after a boating injury. Before going to Advanced I had been to lots of other places with no joy and ongoing neck ache for 2 months!
Two sessions with Kenneth and I am now on the road to recovery.
Very pleased with this business and would highly recommended to anyone looking to fix and injury.
Thanks, Jamie

I have been treated by Ken for nearly a year and I can say that some very long held (and vey painful) issues have been corrected.
If you are stuck and no one else seems to be able to help, I strongly encourage you to book an appointment!
Thank you Ken, you have really made a big difference to my enjoyment of life.

I have seen James twice and I have been blown away by the results. His advanced training in counter pressure techniques is incredible. I was a little sceptical at first, now I fly from QLD to have him treat me. I cant recommend him highly enough.

Been more than happy with how Josh has handled my son from the first appointment to the last, so much so my younger son and I now see him. Have recommended them to multiple people and would happily continue doing so

James is really very good. He treats and helps my mother patiently. Really appreciated his professional skills and patience. Highly recommended.

James is a very thoughtful and patient person. I really appreciate his enthusiasm for everything he does. Highly recommend ：）

Came to fix my shoulder and back from work this morning and now I’m feeling better. James is really friendly. He provided a nice treatment and some professional advice. Highly recommended!

Highly appreciated James who is a very patient, enthusiastic and professional physiotherapist. BTW, It was also very impressive by the receptionist, Sally’s pleasant and helpful manner.

highly recommend this place. could relieve pain and sore muscle even just once! Recommend James Du! Knowledgeable and professional

Had a very good experience in Next Step Physio. James is very friendly and professional, would highly recommended a visit here.
Plus this place is very new and quiet.

Feel much better after my first treatment with John
He is very friendly and professional
10/10

Absolutely amazing. As someone who regularly finds creative ways to injure myself, I’m grateful they always know how to straighten me out.

I’ve just joined and it’s great! Calming, supportive experience in a lovely and well situated venue, with very nice staff

I was diagnosed with lumbar stenosis. I could not stand for more than two minutes. The pain was excruciating and would go down my right leg and hip. I honestly thought I could not walk again. I was told that I need to get a surgery to remove part of the disc.

I cannot thank my physiotherapist, Mat enough. He made a big difference and improvement in my lower back within my first couple of visits. If you have stenosis, you would know bad it can get.

Today would be roughly 2 months of me seeing Mat and getting the treatment and I feel amazing. I can walk normally and my stenosis have reduced by a lot let’s say it’s non existent. I can live normally.

Thank you mat. You have made a big impact.

Unbelievable physiotherapy. They made me so feel so comfortable it was the best experience of my life. I can’t recommend Tory and Sophie enough.

Cuong Pham, was very knowledge and took care to help my wife with her extreme back pain, she was blown away by his communication and left feeling amazing. Definitely would recommend anyone who wants to feel connected from the first appointment.

I’ve had many sports injuries and always come to see physio Cuong Pham. He provided great treatment and advice on exercises and stretches required outside of the clinic. He is super friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

Be prepared to be challenged and inspired. The room is spotless and all the equipment is in great condition, the atmosphere is calming and focused. All the instructors are highly trained, friendly and tough! Love this place!
