Frank Bartone Sports Therapy

Frank is a brilliant physiotherapist. A work colleague spoke very positively about her physio, and when I was having trouble walking, I made an appointment. I had already seen two podiatrists, and there was little to no relief after thousands of dollars spent on their treatments.After the first treatment with Frank, I felt better. I couldn’t believe it! It took a couple of days, for sure, but it was a marked improvement and that’s continued over the past year.Frank really listened to the problem and the other treatments that had been tried and took his time doing his own assessment. That has been a consistent feature of my appointments with him, about 5-10 minutes talking through any new pain or flare ups of chronic issues.He is great at talking to me to distract from the pain as he works. Look, the treatment hurts, sometimes a lot. But that’s me and the issues I have, and my pain tolerance! And it always feels better afterwards. Usually the next day, sometimes a couple of days, but always.Frank has also given me exercises to help prevent issues I’ve experienced, so that we’re working on prevention. Frank is also really respectful in his treatments and will ask for permission before touching a new area or body part. My appointments are about every 6 weeks and set at my request, so I know that he’s not scheduling frequent appointments to get more cash out of me. He’s also made himself available for urgent help when I was suddenly in serious pain.I can absolutely recommend Frank if you are in pain and need help.

Nice guy, great job

After an injury I was fearful my strength training days were over. I'm so grateful to have been referred to Frank. His diagnosis and treatment of not only the obvious pain but also the deeper causes of my problems has allowed me to get back to the gym pain free. I have a far deeper understanding of what my limitations are, and he's given me extensive advice on how adapt my training to suit. I didn't know at the time the value of having a therapist who is also an exceptional strength coach, but I definitely do now. Frank is knowledgable and professional, with highly effective treatment to match. Thanks so much Frank! Highly recommended to all.
