What people say about us
I am very happy with the physiotherapy service provided by Chris for my daughter, who has Global Developmental Delay with low muscle tone. Over time, I’ve seen positive changes in her mobility and strength. I also appreciate the comprehensive reports he provides for her NDIS needs and goals.
Recently, I used their support coordination service with Jemma, who provided valuable guidance and support for my daughter's needs and future planning. People First Therapy has been a great resource for my daughter’s therapy, and I’m pleased with the care and dedication they provide.
Lila
I was concerned about Renate's ability to walk, but after working with Chris, she has gained confidence in using her walker. She feels more comfortable with it, and we’ve noticed improvements in her leg strength. Thank you, Chris.
