Elite Spinal Physiotherapy and Pilates

I couldn't recommend the Elite Spinal Physiotherapy & Pilates team highly enough. I've been attending their clinics in both Sydney and Melbourne. I am so grateful to have found the team at Elite. They have all been extremely knowledgeable, professional, patient, and kind. They've helped me greatly on my road to recovery.

I have attended a few sessions at Elite Spinal Physiotherapy and found everyone to be very professional yet super friendly. You can find plenty of metered parking on Oxford Street but very mindful that the entrance is on Vernon Street. They occupy the whole of the 6th floor and have an accessible friendly lift that takes you straight there. The physiotherapists incorporate Pilates machines and techniques in the sessions.

I have been coming here for several years now and have always been very happy. Everyone is knowledgeable and helpful. I have attended Ciara’s pilates class on a weekly basis and have definitely noticed an improvement in my strength and less flares up of my painful areas. I definitely recommend coming here if you are looking for a physiotherapist.

I discovered Jackson Ball at Elite Spinal Physiotherapy early 2023. I must admit that I wasn’t too keen in seeing another physio as I have seen many who weren’t able to help. With the Neurosurgeon’s appointment months away, I needed something to somewhat relieve my pain. Jackson came recommended by my GP so off I went. Almost immediately, I felt relief and able to manage my pain. He is the only physio I know who has actually pinpointed the exact spot (i.e troublemaker) where the pain was stemming from. There were instances where I would see Jackson in so much pain and while on the table, I can feel the pain disappear and by the time my 30mins appointment is done, I am pain free. I didn’t end up seeing the surgeon and I worked with Jackson on my pain management and since then I am at a much better place. So THANK YOU JACKSON!!!

As for the rest of the Elite team, you guys all rock, most friendly and professional team. Shout out to Karen who sets out the tone soon as you walk into Elite Spinal.

Highly recommend Jackson and the rest of the Elite team!!!

I cannot recommend highly enough the team at Elite. I first hobbled into Elite nearly three years ago after having back surgery. Right from the start the team made me feel welcome and comfortable. The reception staff are warm and friendly and always up for a chat. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing a few of the lovely physios and all of them were fantastic and knowledgeable. They helped me with pre and post surgery recovery. I never would have recovered so well without the support of the whole team. They have been there through the ups and downs and provided me with not only the physical rehabilitation but the emotional support I didn’t know I needed. Thank you so much to the whole family at Elite, I couldn’t have done it without you. Fiona and Tiffany I’m forever grateful.

Georgina has been the most wonderful physiotherapist, and I am so grateful to have found her and the rest of the team at Elite. I have significant hypermobility issues, which means that I have been in and out of physiotherapy for nearly 20 years, so I have a lot of experiences to compare and I can tell you that Georgi is one of the most talented physios I have ever worked with. She has passion and enthusiasm for her work and quickly identified the areas of my body that needed intervention and support. She pushed me hard when I needed it and skillfully eased my pain when relief was the priority. I met Georgi just days after having an ankle ligament reconstruction surgery, and she guided me safely from crutches and limited mobility all the way through to full recovery. My surgeon was so impressed with my recovery and I give her full credit. With her help, I’m able to enjoy bush walks again and no longer worry about frequent falls and back spasms. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have been attending Pilates classes at Elite Spinal twice a week for over 5 years to alleviate lower back pain due to spinal degeneration and to maintain general fitness. I cannot recommend Elite and their staff highly enough. All the Physios are highly trained and extremely good at their profession and the support staff are very friendly and efficient. It is a pleasure to go into the Studio every week and be part of the Elite 'family'.

Was able to get a last minute appointment one Saturday. Have been back a a few times and improved right from the first session. Georgia was great. Thanks

I started physio at Elite some 6-9 months prior to my lumbar back operation in 2021 for pre-op strengthening. Since then I have attended as post-op and recovered my core strength and mobility. Elite have been great - very knowledgeable and very professional in all their dealings. My back treatments have been very good in preparing and rehabilitating me. I would recommend them highly to anyone needing good spinal physio.

Elite Spinal Physiotherapy had been recommended to me by a friend when I was experiencing severe back pain.
When I called, the reception staff were warm, friendly and helpful, asking me details of my injury and finding an appointment time.
The physiotherapist, Sherston, was the best I have met giving me all the help, guidance and encouragement I needed at that time.
After four sessions with Sherston I felt confident again and ready to resume normal activities.
Many thanks to all the staff. I will recommend Elite to anyone looking for a physiotherapy service.

Elite Spinal Physiotherapy & Pilates are next level in their professionalism and customer focus. My treatment from Lauren over the last 16 months has been amazing and has made a huge difference to my post-op rehab (ALIF and fixation). She is a credit to herself and to the team!

I have been to many physios over the years but no one knows back and spine rehabilitation like Elite spinal. Not only do they have intimate and specialist knowledge of the intricacies of the spine and are able to apply this in a nuanced and individualised way for their patients, but they do so in such a warm and welcoming way. From the moment you walk in, either Emanuela or Rebecca will welcome you with a smile, then every physio I have had (i have mainly been looked after by Lauren and Heather) really care about you as a person and make the rehab experience so easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I have been to many physios in Sydney, but none even come close to being as good as Elite Spinal. Most importantly, the therapists are all world-class. They are constantly educating themselves to improve their patient experience, are attentive and very eager to help. The studio itself is (unlike many physio practices) beautiful, clean and inspiring. Physio is a very personal decision, but would recommend this to anyone.

I was advised to go to Elite after having surgery on my back a year and a half ago. I was told that all of the Physiotherapists at Elite were very good. By pure luck I got Sari & I have not looked back. I see Sari regularly & always feel better for it. She has 100% helped with the recovery of my back. Not only is she a great Therapist but she has a great knowledge of the human body & always guides me in the right direction in helping my aches and pains to be relieved when I leave our sessions. Sari is also a wonderful person and I always enjoy my visits with her.

After 3 back surgeries I started at Elite spinal and it's been a great experience. The practices are a lovely setting to visit and the staff are professional and friendly. I have been seeing Heather for PT and pilates and I highly recommend her. She is knowledgable, personable and most importantly really good at her job. I feel well supported and have gained a lot of strength from the custom pilates program, going at a pace that feels progressive yet comfortable.

I highly recommend Elite Spinal Physiotherapy! I had the best 8 sessions with Tiffany Aldred. She did an amazing job and I improved a lot week after week. I feel so much better now! She’s very knowledgeable and skilled at what she does. She’s professional, friendly and caring therapist. Each session is fun and exercises really suit my needs. The clinic and the team are very welcoming and professional. Overall, i’m a satisfied client. Thank you Elite!

When i was diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy (pitching of the nerve in my neck/upper back) i was recommended to have some physiotherapy. The condition was partially painful in my left arm, neck and upper back. It was disabling i couldn’t use my left arm to pick anything up and the pain was unbearable.
After doing manual therapy and exercises with Georgina and without a cortisone injection i have recovered and have full movement in my arm and my upper back, shoulders and neck feel a lot better. Georgina has also guided me through how to breathe correctly which i had no idea i was not doing right.
I have had migraine head aches since i was 15 years old and never really been able to stop them. I feel the treatment and exercises Georgina has shown me has helped with that a lot and haven’t had one since i started going to the appointments. Its been so successful that i will maintain a once a fortnight appointment just to keep me in great shape. Being a photographer i need to be able to move and have a reasonable flexibility which i now have.

Elite spinal are by far the best physio I have been too . After suffering a very bad spinal injury at only 30 I wanted to make sure I was in the best hands moving forward and they were certainly it . The care factor really shows , and they are always happy to answer any questions I have and make me feel comfortable to do so . The girls at the desk are great and my mum now sees them too and the two hour drive is honestly well worth it . If you have any spinal injuries including neck, lumbar or thoracic this team is the gold standard of treatment . Highly recommend!

As someone who has had significant back and neck issues over a period of 15 years resulting in two emergency surgeries, I was dealing with chronic pain, loss of mobility and the inability to move correctly. I had made attempts at rehab and either reinjured myself trying to get strong or lost motivation. I genuinely felt like I had hit a brick wall in my ‘ rehab’ journey….
Enter The team at Elite Spinal and Physio.
I staggered in barely confident I could walk 2 kms without injuring myself, I was afraid to move. With a combination of hands on treatment, a personalised exercise plan and guided Pilates Alana (initially) and now Georgie are literally rebuilding me ! Georgie has helped me overcome one of my biggest hurdles in my rehab journey - my very real fear of movement and re- injury. Georgie is professional, positive, inspirational and an outstanding Physio. I trust that Georgie knows what my body is capable of achieving more than I do. We genuinely celebrate each however big or small milestone I reach and this has been a major factor in keeping me motivated.
Elite is an amazing space, , the vibe is positive and uplifting - you actually look forward to coming in 😁
The front office staff are standout -particularly Emmanuela who has consistently pulled out all the stops to assist with scheduling additional treatments/Pilates sessions- not an easy job in a busy clinic - staff are always professional and friendly.
Bec runs an amazing team and as a first point of contact for me in my initial enquiry she was integral to getting me started on my (successful!) rehab journey - I am finally in the right place….I can’t thank you all enough 🙏

I would like to give a big shout out to Georgina who has been helping me with my chronic back issues since Dec 2021. To give you a bit of context, I've been suffering from disc bulge in my L5/S1 (since nearly 15 years a go) and in the last 3 years in my L4 and also facet joint pain in my lumbar spin. The pain and discomfort had been fluctuating and there were instances where I would be in agonising pain and suffering for quite some time.
Since I was referred by my GP to Elite Spinal Physio, I have been in my best condition that I've ever been, and it's all because of a fantastic job that Georgina (one of the experts working in this practice) has done for me. She is not only passionate about her work, she is quite knowledgeable about spine and back bones. She carefully listens to what you say in describing your issues and carefully examine the problematic parts of your back. She is very sympathetic and makes you really comfortable during hands-on treatment. She also knows exactly what type of exercises can improve the relevant muscles supporting the spine and she will show you how to do them properly in a special exercise room. And after each session, she carefully modifies your exercise program to further imporove your healing process. For me, I can't thank enough for her great effort in my journey in getting better day by day. Georgina is an amazing physio and I would not hesitate to recommend her if you need serious treatment for you back problems. But you have to be patient and stick to the program that she provides you with, and that's when you see the reward of your progress, as I have.

I just wish that the Elite Spinal Physio practice would accept bulk billing so the 5 EPC sessions that Medicare provides would have been free for us 😁.
