Dane Larsen Exercise Physiologist

Dane Larsen is by far the best exercise physiologist in Brisbane. I’ve been referred to Dane from many Physio’s and chiropractors, who were trying to help with my back pain. I’ve had upwards of 4 years of chronic lower back pain which affected my health very poorly. Dane is very very knowledgeable with the body and the mind and within 6 weeks was able to minimise by back pain. This resulted in my very first cardio session in over 1 year. Dane has a great attitude to teach and learn about your personal circumstances as he tries to fix your injury/issue. Dane is a very friendly and approachable guy, who has a world of knowledge about the body and no doubt will be able to help you reach your potential.

In January I damaged significant tendons in both feet whilst playing Pickleball (yes, it’s a real sport). For two months I thought things would get better. They didn’t. So, I saw a physio for a few months and things improved. In August I saw my podiatrist, and that was a game changer.In November, I met Dane for the first time, and that was a life changer.After four weeks and eight sessions, I could walk pain free for the first time since January.The gym where Dane works is friendly and inviting, even for a woman in her 60s. I have exercised all my life, from walking to personal training in the gym, and so this year has been particularly difficult. My focus is functional fitness - balance, strength, and stamina. With Dane’s guidance, I have been able to get back to the things I value – walking my three dogs, gardening, training in the gym, keeping my house tidy and inviting.Dane is kind, considerate, knowledgeable, and empathetic. He understands the impact on one’s physical and mental health when you just can’t move comfortably, let alone exercise. Dane’s videos make it easy to keep track of what I am doing and making sure I am doing the exercises and stretches correctly. This allows for practice every day to improve my strength and balance faster. He knows just how far to push you, so you get results without setbacks.I couldn’t recommend Dane more highly for rehab and/or strength and conditioning, no matter your age or fitness level.

Dane, has a wealth of knowledge especially when it come to knees and feet! Awesome with kids and teenagers. He keeps it interesting and challenging. He has been doing a great job assisting getting our teenage son back on the field after an ACL reconstruction. Would highly recommend.

Dane is awesome. He has helped me enormously with recovery after a significant medial meniscus cartilage tear that required surgery. Dane has sophisticated equipment that he combines with his wealth of knowledge and genuine care. His repertoire of remedial recovery exercises is exceptional.I thoroughly recommend Dane “the Viking” Larsen.

Dane has always been strongly committed to his coaching journey. His leadership to obtain the ultimate outcome, the ability to actively listen, view, access and deliver is exemplary. Pinpoints the crux of a situation and does not fail in delivering best practices.

Dane offers a friendly, personable approach to exercise rehab. His supportive and kind nature makes training fun. Thanks Dane!

Dane has been amazing with my recovery from a back injury. His attention to detail, holistic approach and commitment to staying in touch has been invaluable throughout the whole process, and his use of video tutorials has made working with him even without super frequent checkups really easy and simple. He’s got a great energy for it, is really friendly and I look forward to every session with him.He’s been really helpful and I can’t recommend him enough to anyone else looking to recover from injury and develop their overall fitness/health.

Five years ago I had a cold sore virus that went into my brain causing me encephalitis, resulting severe brain injury and half a plastic skull.The diagnosis was bad - that I would never talk or walk again. The doctors also said that I wouldn’t see much improvement after 2 years, but I didn’t let that stop me….. and It’s good that Dane believes in me too.Dane is very inspirational, humble and humorous. He makes my journey a lot more enjoyable. He has a great understanding of movement and his technique is really helpful.It’s really good that he is in tune my muscular issues and that he knows what needs to be done to keep me improving. He make me laughs too, which helps me to keep on keeping on :)Kat G
