Strongliving Exercise Physiology

Fantastic experience: Good service and experience !!!

Fantastic experience: Strongliving is my local hero - Faisal is an excellent exercise physiologist, he is always attentive to my exercise needs and tailors each session so that I can get the most benefit out of it. Yuri is a fantastic remedial massage therapist, she knows exactly which part of my body has tension and how to relieve it to reduce pain. She always goes above and beyond and I always have a great experience.

Fantastic experience: The attention and professionalism at this place are very good. I did my physical therapy sessions with Emily, and they were great!

Fantastic experience: Perfect in all aspects - location, ambience, professionalism, ability to identify problematic areas and provide a holistic approach to management. Highly recommended. Faisal’s personality just complements his service and augments the outcome.

Fantastic experience: Fasil and Strong Living has had a positive impact on our family. What makes Fasil’s practice unique is the ability he has to personalize programs for individual bodies and needs. My two teenage sons, have both suffered knee injuries playing sport and Fasil has worked with them to get their bodies (and minds) stronger. His personalized programs ensure areas of weakness are targeted and strengthened. I am amazed at the positive impact working with Fasil has had on their bodies. I am 50 and am working with Fasil try to ensure I am able to continue living an active life, which is pain free as I age. He has helped me to improve by targeting areas of weakness and supporting me as I learn to move better. Fasil is an exceptional practitioner: deeply knowledgeable and is able to apply his understanding of the body to assist patients to improve their performance and quality of life. I wholeheartedly endorse Fasil and Strong Living.

Fantastic experience: Emily is a absolute professional and a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic experience: I came to Faisal searching for someone to help me with my chronic joint pain as well as someone who could show me how to workout around my pain points. When I first came to Faisal, I felt quite hopeless that my foot pain of about two years would never be cured. My pain made walking even ten minutes highly painful and kept me from feeling like I could keep active or even walk to public transport. Faisal was the first person to see my pain, understand the root cause, and find a simple solution. He gave me the exercises I needed to fix the root cause and the skills to upkeep it on my own. He was also the first person to investigate a pain I would feel during an exercise to deduce if it was furthering the problem or a “good pain”, giving me the confidence to continue working out the injury. Throughout my time working with Faisal, my chronic condition would cause more joint pains to flare up. Faisal kept finding ways to help each pain while continuing to give me workouts so I could feel like I was strengthening my body and not just suffering from a new injury. Anytime I’ve shown up to a session feeling down or demoralized, Faisal would find a way to show me the positive. He holds space for physical and mental pain and helps you work through both. He’s someone that has a holistic approach to health and shows you that each session. He’s able to help you push yourself and also pull you back to stay safe and not further aggravate any injury. Additionally, I’ve received remedial massages from Milky. She was incredible and could physically feel my pain points. Whenever I would bump into her in passing she would check up on me and I really felt she cared. I’ve found the whole team at Strongliving to be extremely caring, giving, and truly listens to the needs of each person. It definitely feels as though that is the main mission of Strongliving, that each person entering feels that any person on the team truly cares about you as a person and cares that you feel better.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Fasial more than 2 years. He is a knowledgeable trainer and professional physio. With his help, I started from 20kg leg lifting and achieved 100kg which I thought was impossible for me. He helps me to see my potential.

Fantastic experience: Always a personalised experience. Emily has been great in addressing and pushing me to be the best I can be in my recovery and general fitness perspective! The weekly videos of exercises and prompts have been the most helpful in reminding me about cues and guiding me through executing/titrating my exercise and rehab!

Fantastic experience: I am extremely happy with Emily at Strong Living. I was in all sorts of trouble when I started rehab with her. One of the main problems I had was with my left glute not working properly. Emily showed me many ways in how to kick start my left glute. In having done the glute exercises along with other strengthing exercises and stretches that Emily has shown me (pacifically for my problems) has helped me a great deal and continues to help me. The more I do them the less my lower back is in pain. I have at times felt no pain. Emily is very encouraging and is very pleasant. I would recommend giving Strong Living a go if you are frustrated with nothing else working.

Fantastic experience: Emily is a thorough professional. She quickly identified which exercise combinations would work well to achieve my fitness goals. The exercise plans and videos were really helpful in keeping me motivated to exercise regularly.

Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed with MS 6 years ago and I have been struggling to keep up with my day to day physical challenges. My balance and overall muscle deterioration has been a major concern since I was diagnosed. I have tried many other physical treatments over the years with not much improvement to my condition. 6 months ago I was recommended to talk to Faisal at Strong Living in Rhodes and see how they could help me! I was a little sceptical after trying so many other physical treatments that proved not to present an outcome that would benefit my well-being. I was then introduced to Emily who is a Exercise Psychologist at Strong Living. Emily has been meticulous in her effort to help me regain not only my balance, my muscle growth, my mental health and most importantly self esteem of hope for a healthy future. Today I feel much stronger and confident that my MS symptoms can be managed and I can live a life with full mobility and confidence. Emily is an amazing EP and I would recommend that anyone who needs help with any physical condition or rehabilitation needs see Emily or any of the staff at Strong Living. I thank Emily for all that she has done for me and understanding my limits and my needs to move better forward.

Fantastic experience: I has Baastrap disease and osteoporosis. I hardly stood up to walk after sitting down due to low back pain. My daily activities eg. sit, stand, walk ... become normal after having exercise sessions with Strongliving Exercisr Physiology. I am very happy about my back improvement so I continue to do sessions with Faisal to strengthen my body muscles. Faisal is excellent personal trainer who kind, calm, care for his clients. He explains step by step I should do to correct/enhance my pain. I really like the video that is send to me after a sesion so I can practise at home after an exercise session.

Fantastic experience: I was at my wit's end about my chronic nerve pain when I reached out to Faisal. I had seen 3 physios, tried acupuncture and went to multiple massage therapists to try to get on top of the problem but it was only when I had my consult and starting having regular sessions with Faisal that I was actually understanding the causes of my problems and finally getting relief for the pain. Fast forward to 6 months later I am training with weights that I never thought my body could handle and even doing kickboxing sessions! Faisal has a holistic approach, is incredibly knowledgeable and has been nothing but kind and patient when listening to my concerns. Faisal really puts in the time and effort with each client and creates tailored plans according to your fitness level, problems and goals. For someone who has anxiety, Faisal's calm and caring nature has been so helpful especially on those days that are just a bit harder. I know this will be a long journey to get my body back on track but I wouldn't trust anyone but Faisal to help me get there!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Faisal at StrongLiving for the last 3 years. I am a stroke survivor of 5 years, and with the help of Faisal, I have been able to restore my strength in both my upper and lower body. I have seen a huge improvement whilst training with Faisal and will continue to work with him to reach my goals. Faisal is a very punctual and a great listener, who will strive to help you meet your goals. Therefore, I highly recommend his services.

He has a caring nature and clearly knows his craft. He has built a great environment and you can see the care he puts into his patients.

Fantastic experience: Faisal is the best exercise physiologist around. He always goes above and beyond for his clients and it’s very obvious that he truly cares about the work he does.

Fantastic experience: Faisal is a terrific exercise physiotherapist, listens to problems attentively and explains everything to you. Highly recommend! Great location!

Fantastic experience: I started going to Faisal since March 2021 and it’s been two years! So this review comes from a very long term client. He’s an excellent trainer and physiologist, whose methods are rooted in strong care for his clients. He’s taken me from strength to strength - from hip thrusted 38 odd kilos to doing 110 kilos, it’s been a journey where Faisal has guided me with so much patience. He’s put up with days I have slowed down, telling me it’s ok to rest, to recover, to take a break so I can come back stronger. His exercise sessions were the one thing that kept me sane during the pandemic and even now! He knows what he’s doing and if you trust him, you’re going to be in the best shape ever! Thanks Faisal for all that you do for me. Truly indebted.

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful service!!!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend StrongLiving Exercise Physiology for anyone looking to improve their physical health and wellness. I had been struggling with a neck issue for a while and thanks to their expertise, I have finally found relief. They not only provided effective treatment but also gave me direction on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle moving forward. In addition, I cannot say enough good things about Faisal who runs the practice. He is super nice, caring, and truly goes above and beyond for his clients.

Fantastic experience: Faisal is no doubt the best in this space. He knows his trade extremely well. I have been a client for more than three years now, where I have had multiple niggles/injuries over the years. Through every niggle, I have recovered really well, thanks to Faisal's customised training and rehab plans. I would highly recommend Faisal to anyone. Above all, he is a good man too.

Fantastic experience: I found Faisal through Google, relying on his 5 star reviews after a car accident earlier this year. Faisal is attentive, knowledgeable and I have experienced immense improvement in my shoulder, back and neck pain. I think it's necessary for everyone to see a physio even if they're not injured, in order to prevent future injuries and to correct form while doing something basic as walking. I will be recommending Faisal to friends and family, and I look forward to even greater improvement in my mobility and pain levels.

Fantastic experience: Full facility local gym. Professional and friendly personal trainers. Help all levels of physical rehabilitation, health and well-being maintenance. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Faisal by another client of his, who insisted that I meet up with Faisal for my shoulder pain. I have not regretted following the advice. In the last few months since I started my shoulder rehab, I have found Faisal to be very professional. He listens to his clients and works diligently with them in resolving the issues. He will develop tailored workouts for each individual. Extremely energetic and an individual who is more of a friend then a personal trainer. Thank you Faisal for helping me out and wish you all the very best!

Fantastic experience: All round great clinic with great trainers.

Fantastic experience: I met Faisal earlier this year when looking for a personal trainer in Rhodes. With three degrees in exercise physiology, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, he takes training to another level and is the best personal trainer I've ever had. Prior to seeing Faisal, I was overusing my trap muscles that caused a lot of tightness in my shoulders which I had to get regular remedial massages for. Faisal helped me correct this issue by giving me targeted exercises and I have not needed any massages since. In addition, I've been able to achieve many personal bests with weight training. I also see him for boxing which he is an expert in as well. He really listens to you, has great attention to detail and tailors his training to your preferences and goals. My husband also sees him now. I highly recommend Faisal for personal training and exercise physiology services.

Fantastic experience: Faisal at Strongliving is a great exercise physiologist to work with. He listens to what you're wanting to achieve and helps you get there, with a friendly demeanour and technical expertise.

Fantastic experience: Sick bloke pushes me hard

Fantastic experience: 100% would recommend seeing faisal. Completely changed the way i train and rehab my back , i'm now doing everything correctly and working each muscle group in the body evenly. Had each session sent to me afterwards as a video so i can keep referring back to the sessions. Thanks champion!

Fantastic experience: I came to Strong Living when my chronic pain was making it extremely difficult to even move an inch, so much so that I wasn't sure I could carry my pregnancy to term. Faisal was kind enough to see me on a short notice. He helped me understand my problem and gave me the confidence that I needed. His meticulously personalised program and a contagious positive energy worked wonders for me. I've been to many physiotherapists in my life, Faisal is a true talent. Would hundred percent recommend.

One thing that Faisal had introduced me to is a new lifestyle where my daily exercise is a part of my routine. He has completely changed my perception of a healthy life style.

Fantastic experience: Faisel has always been very informative and helpful! I normally see him every Monday on going maintenance work on my mid trap/shoulders and forearms! Always showing me new exercises to help with my posture and with my big lifts ! Without him I would most probably still be in pain and not lifting as heavy !

Fantastic experience: My daughter has an intellectual disability and low muscle tone, and struggles with her weight. Her NDIS package provides for exercise physiology. Faisal has been a miracle worker. My daughter now loves going to the gym - Faisal has made it fun - and she has lost weight and gained strength. She is now inclined to do some additional exercise on her own! Faisal’s ability to engage my daughter, and over a sustained period, is remarkable. If you have an NDIS package and need an exercise physiologist, I can’t recommend Faisal enough.

Fantastic experience: I’m an very busy individual and I’m guilty of letting go of my physical health for past couple of years. Going back to getting fit and healthy was kind of far from my reach, until I met Faisal from Strong Living Exercise Physiotherapy. To my surprise I found my experience going back to being active fun and easy. Faisal is extremely professional, knowledgeable and a caring practitioner. I’m looking forward to work with Faisal in 2021 and beyond and recommend him with full confidence. Thank you Faisal for being so kind and patience with me.

Fantastic experience: I joined Strongliving when I began having knee pains while walking. Thanks Faisal for your expertise. My first session involved a series of questions and exercises to test my capabilities. Second week I was given new exercises tailored to my specific needs. I felt improvements after one week and things have been steadily improving. One set of exercises has even given me immediate relief. Very satisfied with the care and expertise from Strongliving.

Fantastic experience: Great Trainer! Thanks Faisal!

Fantastic experience: Amazing... whatever your trying to accomplish you’ll get it as Faisal is extremely dedicated and always gives you that extra bit of motivation and encouragement... I’ve learnt how to channel my weakness with a strong mindset as he challenges me through my paces ..

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Faisal for the last 3-4 months and throughout that period he has proven to be an excellent Exercise Physiologist. He has designed a variety of exercise routines, specifically taking into consideration my personal needs and goals. He has given me confidence that I can achieve a pain-free lifestyle, all the while challenging and motivating me to work harder. I could not recommend him any more highly.

Fantastic experience: Amazing. I suffered from sciatica and back pain that had me out of school. During those six months, Faisal quickly diagnosed the root of my pain abs programmed a personalized rehab workout and stretching routine. I’ve worked with a lot of physios and PTs, and no one has even come close to the level of personal attention Faisal pays with clients.

Fantastic experience: I have sessions with Faisal regularly. He has helped me not only rehab and strengthen my body but also mentally healthy in my everyday life since I met him. He is very positive, energetic person and has faith on what he is doing. I am very glad that I know him and I appreciate what he has done for me and my family.

Fantastic experience: Faisal would have to be one of the best personal trainers I have ever come across. I came to faisal frustrated being I felt that I was continually aggravating old injuries and didnt feel I was getting my monies worth with who i was with previously. Faisal took so much time correcting my technique and pushing me in ways I hadn't been pushed before. I have not had one injury since training with him and my results in such a short time have been phenomenal. Being health is about mind body and spirit, faisal also has such an encouraging nature and really does inspire you to grow mentally as well as physically, not once have I dreaded going to a session since starting with him. If you are looking for a holistic trainer than I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great service and experience, listen to your concerns and problem and give useful advice and discussions to prove an adequate goal plan.

Fantastic experience: I regularly work out but have had ongoing issues with my lower back since 2011 therefore I tend to shy away from certain exercises that I fear will trigger pain and affect my mobility. I’ve been training with Faisal since this beginning of the year. Faisal was able to quickly identify that I would subconsciously alter an exercise to protect my back and was actually causing harm to my knees. Faisal created personalised video programs for me to help with my rehabilitation as well as strengthen and challenge my fitness. These are awesome as you get a visual as well as a written description of the exercises. Faisal, I can’t thank you enough for your ongoing support and dedication. Because of you I am stronger and more confident with my workouts. If you’re looking for a professional, knowledgeable, passionate and friendly PT, I highly recommend Faisal. You will not be disappointed!
