TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say About Us
The Active Performance team are mining compliant, culturally minded, engaging and caring. AP provides a comprehensive, personal service where you feel understood and cared for as an individual. They are a great team that does very important work.
I have known Nick, his team, and the work AP has provided on Groote Eylandt for the past 7 years. They have an exceptional reputation across all communities and have gained rapport with many local families, which is a reflection of the high engagement they achieve with clients.
Very welcoming from the moment I walked into the door, receptionist was helpful, friendly and warm. The initial consult with Marcus was professional and thorough. Marcus' ability to listen to my needs after a 12 week injury was a 10 out of 10 rating. Marcus allowed me to feel comfortable with the direction we were going to take rehabing my ankle. He heard my limitations and was able to provide informed and knowledgeable direction on how we can progress. Marcus demonstrated genuine enthusiasm and interest to assist with my progression. I am looking forward to working with Marcus on the road to a run-ready ankle. Big up's to Active Performance!
Highly recommend this physio - Matt was very professional, knowledgeable & thoughtful. I was treated for neck & upper back pain and felt listened to, as Matt was very mindful of my enjoyment of getting back into the gym post-birth and the practicalities of having a newborn when managing this injury. Further, I left having all my questions answered, a thorough understanding of the cause of the injury and how to rehabilitate it and the welcomed pain relief following targeted massage.
