Sal de Silva20 December 2024 I visited Human Repair Shop for various issues for post opp, pre hab and maintenance. Orla and Tony were very helpful and professional in ensuring each issue was dealt with efficiently while laying out my options. Great practice with great people. patrick gilling3 December 2024 Ambrose’s treatment of my shoulder injury has given me almost instant relief. He’s now tailoring a program of mobility and strength specific to my sport of surfski for not only healing but future injury prevention also. Ambrose obviously knows his stuff, I highly recommend him. louise Austin26 November 2024 Treatment at The Human Repair Shop is commendable. Tony, Orla and Maz always have a wide smile to greet their patients, creating a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. After detailed & appropriate questioning, physio Orla Cunningham targets each problem with obvious professionalism. Her techniques surely improve the patient's blood circulation which in turn reduce muscle tension and general fatigue. Suggested exercises are an integral part of her approach. You invariably leave the Human Repair Shop feeling refreshed and rejuvenated ... and receive a warm "Goodbye". Catherine Weir25 November 2024 Excellent physiotherapy service. Lovely staff and a very good outcome resulting from treatment. Tyler Halvarson24 November 2024 I came in not being able to walk and orla and her team completely fixed me Karen Gregory30 October 2024 Paula is an amazing physio. I have seen her for a few different things over the years, she is always quick to identify the issue and work to rectify things ASAP. She'll schedule one or two follow ups, if required, but her main is to get you pain free and moving effectively as quickly as possible. Marcelle Grolman29 October 2024 I started off at Human Repair Shop for physiotherapy for a minor neck issue. Excellent physio and only three sessions required. After that I tried out Pilates and absolutely love it. Orla supervises personally and ensures the right level for me. I am 87 and very fit after a lifetime of exercise but my need now is maintenance for the ageing body. While Orla gives me exactly that, it is tailored to work for all ages. Super professional, kind and caring. The environment is perfect. Great workout and good vibes. Highly recommended. Mohammad Al-shinnag9 October 2024 A great place and an amazing team. I have being a client for a few months and I love vibe this place gives you when you walk in, from the lovely Tony who always welcome you with a smile and very nice conversations, to the brilliant physiotherapist Orla who is experienced, passionate and very caring therapist. Jean Ritchie30 July 2024 Orla is a wonderful Physio, a great healer.
