Visited the clinic for the first time today and was absolutely blown away by the expertise professionalism and attention to detail. Amazingly thorough assessment carried by the owner, who was really polite, professional … More and charismatic. From the moment I walked in all the staff were really friendly and came across genuinely happy and upbeat, it was a really pleasant experience.
Following the initial assessment I was then referred to the new sports therapist who conducting some first stage rehab, again very happy and polite lady and very conscientious and professional.
Over the years I have had treatment for various injuries and have visited Physio etc, none of my prior experiences can compare to the state of the art treatment and in depth analysis I have experienced today, Dr Matt and his team are truly amazing, not just for their knowledge and expertise, but also for being such kind wonderful human beings, a real pleasure to be around people who get such enjoyment out of their work and are passionate about the care they provide.
I can't recommend this service enough, my daughter has been treated today also and I have already recommended several family members and colleagues in my sport to the Dorsi clinic.
Great team, great work, amazing experience.
Thank you -

Jasmine has been a lifesaver with correcting my neck, back and postural issues that I had accrued over time from sitting at a desk constantly.

Throughout the pandemic I have received regular e-mails from the Institute concerned about both myself and my family's health and informing me about the work being done at the Institute. This detailed the works … More being done to exceed the requirements of both the Government and national regulatory bodies as well as new works which would take the Institute to the forefront of international practice. All of this was communicated in an exceedingly professional way which was very readable and relevant to my situation. Exercise regimes were prepared for me on a personal level in order for me to maintain, or hopefully improve, my movement whilst being in lock-down. The Health and Safety requirements are particularly important and these were discussed in detail which was very reassuring and left you feeling that, when we are able to return, that has been, and will be, implemented to make everything as welcoming, safe and personal as possible.
