Logan Physio has been great for me over the last 10 years, Justine and Sandy are very knowledgeable caring people who offer a great personalised service. I have attended their exercises classes for a long time which helped me with my ability to recover from a recent serious case of sepsis which resulted in me becoming a below knee amputee. Justine is now working with me to gain more strength as an amputee and is doing a great job. She is very caring and knowledgeable.

Provision of excellent care from the very first point of contact. All staff very helpful, knowledgable, and patient focussed. I have experienced both hands on treatment and exercise classes and found them all worthy of 5 stars.

Highly recommend! Professional friendly and welcoming. Always having the same physiotherapist for each visit made the sessions consistent and beneficial. Easy parking and appointments always on time was an added bonus.

This is my first time needing (having) physio however my treatment and sessions at Logan Physio have been fantastic. The professionalism of my Physiotherapist - Justine, is exemplary. I can't believe how helpful she has been in my recovery and how every exercise and measurement that she does and every exercise that she gets me to do comes with a clear explanation of why the exercise is being done. I would recommend this Physio to anyone needing their help.
