Kyle was knowledgeable, personable and professional. He saw me through my second pregnancy and continued to work with me until 6 months post partum on issues with my back. Would recommend anyone to go and see him.Also shout out to Georgia on the front desk. She makes you feel welcome and brings a sense of warmth to the place!

This is the second time I have been treated by the team at FFP.As a health professional myself I have been impressed with the level of care I have received from all members of the team.The personalised treatment and rehabilitation programs have produced excellent results and I have completed both programs pain free and feeling stronger than before my injuries.During the program there was constant communication and follow up and they were very accommodating with my work schedule.All in all it was a very holistic experience and I would highly recommend the service.
