Sports and Spines Physiotherapy

I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Andre, a phenomenal physiotherapist who helped me recover from a painful bulging disk. I cannot recommend Andre highly enough - his expertise, empathy, and attentive care made all the difference in my recovery process.From the very first appointment, Andre took the time to listen intently to my concerns and understand the nature of my injury. He explained everything clearly and provided me with a comprehensive treatment plan that was tailored to my specific needs. Throughout the course of my treatment, Andre was always available to answer my questions via email or text message.Thanks to Andre's diligent efforts, I was able to make steady progress and quickly regain my mobility. The exercises and techniques he taught me were incredibly effective, and I am now back to my normal activities with little to no pain.I would highly recommend Andre to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate physiotherapist. I am deeply grateful for his care and expertise. Thank you for everything!

After struggling with back pain for a few years and going round in circles to try and find a treatable cause, Andre was able to have me moving and training 100% pain free after 3 sessions. I am back to doing all the sports and activities I love with no limitations on my movement. Highly recommended, no nonsense and effective approach.

I've been working with Andre over the last 12 months, and I can honestly say that he has been a great mentor as well as providing me with a training program that works for me, which meets my needs so that I can do archery /swimming & walking, so that I can enjoy competing again, something I was unable to do for a while. He is patient, listens to what you have to say and then guides you to push through the barriers to become better. His one-on-one approach and talking me through my exercises changed my mindset on how I approach my sport and overall, wellbeing. Thanks Andre

Andre has been extremely supportive of my daughter in achieving her competitive sporting goals and being able to continue doing what she loves after a scoliosis diagnosis. Andre is knowledgable, patient and understanding and has provided her with a realistic program that is achievable and maintainable. Very happy with the service and advice Andre provides. Highly recommend.

Finding Andre as a physiotherapist has been a huge benefit to me. I approached him to help with my Plantar Fasciitis after a year off from running. I was at my lowest, as I was frustrated by no results and not being able to run.He taught me how to be patient and taught me how to put in the work that I was required to do at home. Andre shows that he cares not just about the injury itself, but at a holistic level, as it was completely affecting me and my lifestyle.Andre demonstrates professionalism by putting into practice his experience and knowledge and treating me like an individual. I am now back running and with him, building strength to make my running more efficient, especially important to me as I age so that I can reduce the likelihood of injury. Best find, I'm so grateful to Andre.

Wow...This guy is good!I stumbled into Andre's practice with a bulging disk 6 weeks before a Sumatran surf trip. I was dubious when Andre said I will have you surfing before your trip." Sure enough

I ruptured (slipped) my L4-L5 disc and was told I would need surgery. Andre has helped me get my life back and avoid surgery with his expertise. I am now living pain free and back training in the gym squatting, dead lifting and working towards rowing competitively once more. Without Andres guidance I wouldn’t be where I am today.Highly recommended.5 stars

Andre is an amazing Physio! I’ve been seeing him now for over a year and he has always sorted my issues and given me great advice and instruction.He always takes his time so you don’t ever feel like you are being rushed, you can tell he is genuinely invested in helping you and taking the time to ensure you are getting the correct advice and exercises. The massage and dry needling has helped me immensely.Can’t recommend sports and spines enough!

The service provided by Sports and Spines has been outstanding. Andre Rickenbach is very professional in his work. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He is sensitive and caring, and always displays a genuine interest in helping my friend who has significant health issues.I recommend Andre very highly.Kevin Wilding

I had an Achilles Tendonitis issue for a few years and visited many physiotherapists and podiatrists, none of which were able to get me back to running. I can happily say that Andre has had me running for sometime now and completely revolutionised my training. I would highly recommend Andre to anyone out there.
