Desmond Macaulay Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic

At the beginning of the year I noted discomfort in my knee and stupidly did nothing about it. I ended up with two bad knees and was avoiding running and walking upstairs due to the pain.

I was referred to Desmond by and orthopaedic surgeon. He found the primary issue straightaway and his sessions were very good. Since my treatment I have returned to running and football. I’m still using Desmond’s exercises to ensure my knees are strong. I would definitely return to Desmond if I ever needed further treatments.

I cannot recommend Des enough. I have been attending his clinic for over a year and he is in my opinion the best physio I have ever met. I suffered with lower back pain and sciatica which was unbearable. I saw two other physio/osteopaths through my healthcare provider which offered no improvement. I was recommended to Des and within two sessions I saw a significant improvement. He is extremely knowledgable and exudes warmth and professionalism. Well done Des, you're amazing. Thank you:)

Desmond has been treating me for two years, for what are often sports-related injuries.

The first time I contacted him was during the first lockdown, and he diagnosed and fixed me remotely - amazing!

He is a lovely man and always addresses the root of the problem whilst giving exceptional service. Highly recommended.

Desmond is really knowledgebale in his profession and friendly chap by personality. Appreciate his holistic view and attitude towards always fixing the root cause instead of just the symptom.

Des is a total legend! I’ve been seeing him for 8+ years and now travel across town to go to his clinic. I’ve had experience with a lot of physios, chiros & osteos and he’s like no other. Whatever my injury he doesn’t just treat the symptoms but he treats the cause. No matter how bad of a state i walk in i always leave feeling a huge weight has been lifted and it normally only takes 1 session for full recovery. Thank you des! Very lucky to have discovered you so those years ago!

Went to Desmond for an MCL sprain. He was excellent from start to finish. Highly recommend for physio

I came to see Desmond with some knee and calf pain ahead of a 10-day cycle ride and within a few weeks the pain has almost completely gone and I feel in great shape. The holistic approach and at-home exercises have really helped my general flexibility which will also hopefully avoid further injuries and, more than anything, Desmond is a top guy who is very passionate about what he does! Would highly recommend.

I went to see Desmond for a pre-race check-up last week prior to a trail marathon. I had been experiencing sciatic pain, as well as related nerve pain in my foot. Desmond got me into good shape for the race which I was able to complete successfully. I appreciate Desmond's holistic approach to treatment where he does not only assess a specific area but analyses the mechanics of the body as a whole and treats accordingly. I have found him to be very helpful and would thoroughly recommend his services
