CORE & POSTURE

These are integral to keeping the alignment and stability of your spine.

===== We are designed to have an “S-shaped” back, rather than a “C-shaped” one. If we can establish a gentle S-shape with our posture, and maintain it with our core, then we are well on the way to reducing back and neck, along with shoulder, hip and knee pain. Pilates, Tai Chi, Yoga, and specific exercises can help. ===== BOOK ONLINE

Very efficient and careful team : Rachel managed to find me an appointment on the very day I called her, and Simon really helped me to treat the vertigo I was suffering from (BPPV).

Justin and Kate are awesome; I’ve seen multiple Physios for after a back operation and wouldn’t go anywhere else:

Justin is an absolute GEM.

I cannot recommend enough Macquarie St Physio for anyone suffering from vertigo. I was severely struck down by BPPV Vertigo and was lucky enough to be helped by Simon at Macquarie St.

The great experience started from my inbound call when the friendly receptionist Nicola squeezed me in with a same-day appointment after I explained how severely I was suffering from vertigo. Throughout my appointment with Simon, he was so diligent and caring. He assessed me thoroughly and provided great explanations throughout the whole process. This immediately instilled immense trust in him, which would be needed for the maneuvers he was required to perform to fix my vertigo.

As Simon performed the maneuvers he exhibited the same care and diligence. The results were immediate and I am so grateful to him for relieving my suffering.

I would recommend anyone suffering from vertigo see Simon.

Simon has been incredible In assisting my progress to get stronger after a back injury sustained at work. He has a great way of inspiring me to move & to push past any mental hurdles that can impede on the speed of getting better faster. The app with the stretches & workouts is user friendly & easy to use, and he knows just how much to give. Highly recommend these guys. Nina

Simon Reid is highly skilled. I felt well supported during treatment and confident to extend my injured arm beyond the limit I'd imagined due to the trust I have in him.

Since coming to see Simon Reid some three years ago, I have had four sporting related injuries, all of which Simon has been able to fix and put me on a program to a full recovery. I have also brought my mum in to help fix her tight neck problem. Simon's knowledge and manner have become invaluable to me.

I chose Macquarie Physiotherapy, based on the positive on-line reviews of the staff, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism or the personable way in which I was treated. Every aspect of my experience, from booking the initial appointment through to having my issues with vertigo successfully treated by Lisa, exceeded my expectation. It's clear the staff love what they do and that they are very good at it - 10 out of 10 and highly recommended!

Simon is an excellent physio, who listened to my fitness goals and then set up the right treatment and exercises to get me there. I really found a lot of value in attending the small group pilates classes that MSP also run - where the exercises are tailored to specific needs.

Over a number of years I have been regularly attending the practice for physiotherapy treatment and for group classes (tai chi and pilates - under the guidance of Simon Reid, who takes great care in structuring the classes to take into account the physical needs of the participants). I am most appreciative of the benefits to my health of the treatment and the enjoyable classes.

Macquarie Street Physiotherapy tackled my nagging shoulder problem with both skill and precision. A comprehensive consultation was followed up by an emailed home exercise program tailor-made to address my condition. A thoroughly professional outfit!

Very professional, the physiotherapist treated my injury with both hands on massage and dry needling and provided a exercise program that got me back running.

Effective strategies were given, once I implemented these suggestions it helped to heal an ongoing back pain. Feeling healthier and fitter for an extremely affordable price. Thank you Simon. I love the email with all the exercises for me. 🏋️‍♀️🧗‍♀️🚴‍♀️

Excellent physiotherapy, very very helpful with my sports related injuries, great staff who are always friendly and they stick to appointment times and have never kept me waiting which I really appreciate.

I found my particular physiotherapist rude. I'm sure the physiotherapist didn't mean to come across like that but there was no rapport or attempt to build any. Also found it quite pricy. Wouldn't have mind paying so much (after they swiped my health insurance card) if I found it worthwhile.
