I look to support local businesses where I can, so when I required a physiotherapist for a four week program for a worker’s compensation claim I looked local and I am sure glad I did. I was searching for a small and local business as small businesses tend to offer better service and I was lucky enough to stumble across this great little local business.

I attended Energise Physiotherapy at Unit 3, 221 Scarborough Beach Road in Mt Hawthorn. Phil Haynes is a small local physio who has taken a risk and opened his own clinic. Whilst I am not a leading authority on physiotherapy, you tend to get a feel if an individual is competent and Phil comes across as both confident and competent without appearing overconfident and cocky.

When chatting to Phil during treatment, he describes himself as a small suburban physio, he has plenty of humility. He has his qualifications hanging on the wall in a frame, I am aware he is a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy and I wanted to expand the discussion regarding physio training and accreditation during future visits.

When I come in for a physio session, Phil has done some strength sessions with me as a diagnostic test to check range of movement and the strength in the affected muscles and damaged tendons and ligaments. Whist I get a deep massage as well, the strength conditioning is vital. I enjoy supporting local businesses and Phil provides extraordinary customer service. I will certainly recommend Phil to my friends and colleagues.
