Upside Care

Hans has been great! I recommend him very highly as a specialist in Parkinson's physiotherapy. He's been attending my father in aged care recently. Hans communicates with respect, care and fun. Importantly he's got great communication with carers and family too. Exercises are necessarily practical and are focused on safety, mental tools for movement and strength. Very happy to have Hans assisting my father!

Hans is a very experienced physiotherapist specialising in improving the mobility of people with arthritis or Parkinson's disease and those needing postoperative rehabilitation. He is amiable and energetic and works with you rather than just watching you sweat. He will either visit you at home or you can attend his clinic at St Leonards.

I have Parkinson’s and Hans has has been so incredibly helpful. Has made a huge difference to my quality of life. Amazing for my back pain as well as treating symptoms of my Parkinson’s. He also a lovely bloke. Highly recommend.

The program developed by Upside/Care ‘s principal physiotherapist Hans Lee is an excellent response to the individual nature of each patient’s Parkinson Disease diagnosis.It matters not whether the PD is characterized by tremors,gait and/or mobility issues. Hans uses his high level inter personal skills in partnership with his academic qualifications and experience to produce a program which targets the mobility and muscular development of PD.patients such as myself.One can be motivated by the skill of implementing this program and experience an improved expectation of a higher quality of life. Such has been my personal experience.

I have been attending Laura’s exercise classes and more recently the Parkinson's disease class she conducts. I have gained confidence from these classes in my daily living. Laura is an excellent instructor combining knowledge, leadership and the ability to motivate in a very personable way. I look forward to continuing participation and highly recommend it to others.

Hans was highly professional, going above and beyond in all aspects of my Mother’s care. He was thoughtful, attentive and reassuring. As a visitor to Australia, my Mother was so appreciate of Hans’ care and advice - she returns to South Africa with greater confidence and informed about what she needs to do going forward.

I have been in Laura’s Parkinson's exercise classes for the past year and a half it has been very beneficial to me for balance and falls prevention and walking properly.I have enjoyed the experience and Laura is a good teacher and therapist in Exercise she is a very knowledgeable instructor and caring and very helpful and easygoing to talk to and also listens and points out mistakes and critical at times she has a great attitude and understanding about what she instructs makes her clients at ease with her along with her skills and personality

My experience has been very positive with the services provided by Upside Care. I have been fortunate to have both the Physiotherapist, Hans and the Speech Pathologist, Sam visit me in my home. The tailored treatments have helped me with managing my daily tasks with ease following a Stroke, and I have also resumed my social activities regularly. I would highly recommend Upside Care's services, they are professional, caring and innovative in their approach.P. Suttor, retired Solicitor. 22/02/2023

Hans Lee has been like a breath of fresh air in our lives. He works with David twice a week and we look forward to his visits. His relationship skills are first class, and he has a deep understanding of Parkinsons and all the curve balls it can throw at the patient. He is blessed with enormous patience and he has gone above and beyond the scope of his consultations. He really goes the extra mile and does whatever it takes to get our David moving and stronger. Can't thank him enough.

Hi I’m Tony M and I’ve been attending PD balance class with Laura for a bit over a year. I really enjoy attending class, the exercises have been tailored to help my awareness of falls, mental concentration, improved posture & movement, walking gait, and to strengthen muscles needed for balance which all deteriorate as PD progresses. Thru my class attendance I have noticed a definite improvement in all these areas.Laura makes the program fun, she really cares about our attendees personally adapting the exercises to meet the classes various stages of PD. Laura & the members of our PD class get along great which is a real encouragement and an incentive to keep attending. I highly recommend Laura’s PD classes they are fantastic.
