Human.Kind Physiotherapy & Clinical Psychology

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!

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'.

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!

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.

Human.Kind is a phenomenal space that encompasses incredible people whom are passionate about movement and connection. I recently have been treated by Sam in the Physiotherapy space for my shoulder injury. After my first visit and dry needling, I felt instant relief that I haven’t had in years and could move my arm freely without any complaints. After my second visit, I felt stronger and could maintain a one arm side plank (which I usually avoid due to pain). Sam provides clear in depth explanations for causes and treatment, along with achievable exercises to prevent and manage recovery at home. Highly recommend, I leave each consultation feeling an increased range of motion, movement and eager to continue my yoga practice. A very happy patient!
