Suffered a stubborn shoulder niggle for weeks, but after a couple of sessions with Helen at Calvary Adelaide Hospital, I could finally reach behind my back again. The joint mobilisation and targeted exercises were explained clearly, and I left with a simple home routine. Highly recommend for anyone in Adelaide needing hands-on rehab.
I was unsure about physio after an ankle sprain, but Helen made it easy to understand what each exercise was doing. The heat wrap and gentle ultrasound felt like the perfect combo for inflammation. Friendly, professional service in the city centre—couldn’t ask for more.
Great experience at the consultancy building on Angas Street. Helen explained every step of the program and ensured I felt confident performing the exercises at home. My mobility has improved a lot, and I left feeling hopeful about the recovery ahead.
After a car accident, I was stiff and sore all over. Helen used a mix of joint mobilisation and ultrasound therapy that really loosened up my neck and back. By the third session I could sleep without wincing. Very grateful for the care I received in Adelaide.
I appreciated how practical Helen’s approach was. The treatment list—including heat therapy and personalised exercises—was tailored to my daily routine. It’s rare to find a physio who explains things so clearly and makes you feel supported.
Professional and friendly, with a focus on real improvement. The team at Calvary Adelaide Hospital helped me regain knee strength through smart exercise progressions and some comfortable joint mobilisation. Located conveniently in the city, too.
From the first session I felt I was in good hands. Helen listened to my goals and set up a straightforward plan using ultrasound therapy and targeted exercises. It’s rare to see such thoughtful patient care in a busy hospital setting in Adelaide.
