Patient Reviews 5.0/5 (71 reviews)
Really great experience! I was very happy I could get a last minute appointment over the weekend when other physios were closed. Justin did a great job helping me resolve my pain and prevent and correct my posture. He was very kind and followed up which I really appreciated. He created a very easy to follow program for me and...
Justin and the Peak movement team took my shoulder from un-movable and 9/10 pain to completely pain-free and full range of motion in 6 sessions across two weeks. They have incredible bedside manner, are deeply analytical, and their treatments are phenomenally effective. Highly recommend their team for all PT and injury recovery needs.
Had a sudden back spasm on a holiday to Cape Town (26th of December). The only place that was open was Peak Movement. It was great and I’m back to normal. Justin really helped and has checked in a few times even though his suggestions led to improvements. Would definitely recommend, especially if you have physio-related issues in difficult times.
I highly recommend Justin and the entire team. I’ve been working with them throughout my injury recovery and felt genuinely supported from day one. Every session has been thoughtful and tailored. You always feel like you’re in great hands here. I came in with an L5–S1 disc injury and could barely bend over. I was looking at a fusion operation,...
I twisted my ankle quite badly and didn’t see any improvement for a while, so I came to Peak to get help and am very happy with the treatment. I felt very supported and well cared for. I also received a detailed plan to follow at home over the next few weeks. I can definitely recommend checking in with them!...
