"Back On Track is our family’s choice for any physiotherapy needs. An excellent and friendly service but best of all, Hamid’s professional consults provide results. I highly recommend this physio."

Cathy Arundel

“A great, friendly experience as soon as you walk in the door. Highly knowledgeable and provides a thorough, efficient and easy to understand explanation regarding injuries and the process to rehabilitate. Genuinely looks out for the clients best interest. Will definitely use again and highly recommended.”

Joe Piccolo

"I have always had neck and back issue since 5 years ago, have been seeing lots of physiotherapists and Hamid is definitely the best one. I wouldn't go for anyone else.

Hamid is very professional, and his working hours are very long, which means it is very handy for someone like me that requires treatment soon/afterhours/weekends. The online booking system is very handy too.

I would highly recommended Hamid to anyone that is looking for the best physiotherapist."

Angela Wang

“Hamid your a king mate! 2 years of wrong advice and messing around with my shoulder its finally back on track.”

Elie Barcham

“Hamid was extremely helpful and knowledgable, he provided multiple exercises to assist with my shoulder recovery and gave clear and concise instructions and stepped me through the process.”

David B

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I have been to many physiotherapist in my past but finally found one that differently works and helps me get back on track. Early this year I had a bad ankle injury at gymnastics and Hamid was able to fit me in straight away, diagnose my injury and from day dot every session I continue to improve and get stronger!
My entire family loves the received care by Hamid and there's no one we trust more for the job.”
