Hunter Rehabilitation and Health - Exercise Physiology

Fantastic experience: Andrew was so amazing at levelling me up each session to get me back to pre-injury health I’m strong and healthy thanks to everyone at Hunter Rehab

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to the team at Hunter Rehab. especially Mark my sports physiologist. Was due to have partial knee replacement, post poned due to covid so I spent 12 months strengthening my knee. I now have no pain and movement is so much better. No replacement for me in the foreseeable future. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Caitlin was very professional and personable. Although I didn’t stay long (due to financial reasons) I felt the balance and strength exercises were helping me and have been trying to follow her advice at home.

Fantastic experience: Andrew was very supportive, helped me even outside of our sessions. I am pleased with the service that was provided by the company and Andrew.

Fantastic experience: Exercise physiology has helped me strengthen so many areas of my body. I could not walk stairs normally, I am pleased to say I CAN NOW. I can walk further without an aid and can now carry a grocery bag in each hand instead of making two trips. May not seem like much to some, but these simple things have improved the quality of my life. Thank you Andrew I will always be grateful

Fantastic experience: I saw Caitlin about my shoulder which had been sore on and off for years. She helped with exercises to build up strength and stop the pain. So far hasn't been sore for the first time in years. Caitlin also gave me safer alternative exercises to do in the gym to stop the pain reoccurring. She was also lovely, lots of fun and I really enjoyed the appointments. It was a bit of a shame when I no longer needed to go!

Fantastic experience: The whole team look after you each step, very friendly place I would recommend anyone to give them a go, thankyou to all the staff that looked after me

Fantastic experience: I did three sessions with Andrew Saville the Exercise Phsiologist when I was having sciatica pain in my right side. The first round of leg bends and body sit up exercises improved the pain. Over the next two sessions or stretching with upper spinal muscles, my and lower back feels stronger and much less pain in the morning. My balance just needs practice as well. Thanks Andrew for the exercises that now become a daily habit.

Fantastic experience: A great environment for those who need personalised support. Our daughter loved learning skills with Caitlin to improve her physical fitness, co-ordination which also improved her confidence. Thank you Caitlin

Fantastic experience: Hi Caitlin, I have enjoyed my time with you Your knowledge and assistance has helped me achieve my goals so far. I have had some set backs and you have been patient and very understanding I hope to be back with you assisting me in the near future Thanks again Steve

Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly organisation They have helped me with various programmes to enable myself to return to a pain free and comfortable life style. I would like to thank josh whom helped me through my programme, and all the staff whom also supported me during this period. well done guys and girls. thankyou. ❤️

Fantastic experience: I could not be any happier about my experiences at Hunter Rehabilitation and Health and in particular working with Josh to get me back to running again. Josh is very friendly and we established a good rapport immediately. He worked hard to strengthen my lower body and I am now able to run and perform strength activities once again. I can highly recommend Josh and the team at HR & H

Fantastic experience: Professional, friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating. Joe knows his stuff

Fantastic experience: I can’t speaker highly enough of Andrew Saville, the exercise physiologist, that I was fortunate to have take me through a range of exercises to improve my wellbeing. I was unsure if the benefits attending an exercise physiologist, but he soon changed my mind. I now exercise every day and feel so much better.

Fantastic experience: Joe was very professional and helpful while he looked after me. His exercise plan was realistic and always felt that he listened to my concerns . I would not hesitate to recommend Joe Smith at Hunter Rehab and Health.

Fantastic experience: My experience at Hunter Rehabilitation and Health was fantastic from the first phone call with reception till my last appointment. I was lucky enough to be working with Caitlin Cloete who is great fun to be around and genuinely seems to care about getting you to overcome your injury. I was actually disappointed that my appointments with her came to an end. Would highly recommend HR&H for your rehabilitation as has a great team who seem to enjoy there work. Thanks Guys

Fantastic experience: Great staff that facilitated my needs through an individualized treatment plan with SMART goals approached training in various training sessions and locations. Would highly recommend Hunter Rehabilitation and Health to Family and friends.

Fantastic experience: The team and Hunter Rehabilitation and health are so amazing and I couldn't be more greatful to receive help from everyone there. I came in for a shoulder injury and I was in so much pain but with the help of Sam and Riley I'm in a much better place. I'm so greatful, thank you all for your help along my healing journey.

Fantastic experience: Great place to go to get you moving again. I have been given a targeted exercise program and definitely showing the benefits of persistence. All the staff are extremely friendly, caring and knowledgeable. Hunter Rehab get a big tick from me.

Fantastic experience: I’ve gained strength and confidence with a knee replacement and body movement to accomplish many sports that I am participate in, such as rowing, pickleball and parkrun - since my knee replacement Mark Spencer at Hunter Rehabilation and Health also worked on my strength and I walked a Camino in Spain. I love my life since joining this team of professionals - thanks Margi Vercoe

Fantastic experience: An amazing establishment. The professionalism from everyone is what you would expect from an amazing establishment. Friendly staff will greet you as soon as you walk through these doors. The staff go above and beyond to help you with all your needs and all of your personal issues. They will accommodate all your requirements and make sure they give you their best possible service that you need to get better. Ryan, you have an amazing establishment, and it is always a pleasure to visit and get looked after from your wonderful team.

Fantastic experience: All of the staff are nice and I would highly recommend that if you're injured to go here.

Fantastic experience: Caitlin is incredibly. She actually cares about her clients, and tries her best to help in any way she can.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. And they are very professional.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Very welcoming atmosphere. Sam was super helpful with my injury and helped me to set realistic goals to get back running pain free.

Fantastic experience: Hunter rehab really helped me, as I was on my way for knee replacement surgery and Daniel helped me strengthen my knee, no knee surgery required in the near future. Thanks so much Daniel

Fantastic experience: I am so happy with the progress I have made.. The physios were very professional, helpful and encouraging. Thoroughly recommend

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Joe for his help in getting me back on track after my shoulder replacement surgery. He set me a realistic program and kept me focused on the end result. I strongly recommend Joe’s services!

Fantastic experience: Had a really great experience with catlin and Josh at hunter rehabilitation centre! Very knowledgeable and helpful! I feel better than I have in years thanks to them.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff! always welcoming, friendly, and they make you feel comfortable. Dan has expert knowledge in exercise physiology, he has helped me gain back my confidence and has always motivated me to do better. I highly recommend coming here for physio with anyone here at Hunter Rehabilitation and Health! Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: I was involved in a car accident, I needed a spinal fusion and knee surgery as a result. When I arrived at Hunter Rehabilitation and Health surgeries having been completed, I was in a physically wasted state, my mental health was also impacted by this and I had pretty much given up on life, I was 45. My exercise physiologist was Josh Kessler and for the first time in a long time, I felt like the medical professional listening to my woes was for real and actually cared about me and my improvement. I had been to many over the past 3 years and all of them just pushed too hard, did not care and were not listening to me or understanding my personal situation. Josh's ability to guide my rehabilitation is the reason I'm the best I can be physically at this point in my life and I'm hopeful that I will have even more positive physical progress on the horizon. I can not thank him enough for helping me to get to where I am today, it would not of happened without him. The entire team at Hunter Rehabilitation and Health are caring and fantastic genuine people, such a rare thing in today's world. Josh Kessler is the best exercise physiologist that I have had the pleasure of getting help from, without his caring nature, realistic guidance and unending patience, it only scares me to think where I would be today without him. Thank you very much Josh and thank you Hunter Rehabilitation and Health.

Fantastic experience: Started seeing Mark after suffering a lower back injury at work, after trying normal physio, chiropractors started exercise physiology and by far has been the best thing for my recovery. Mark has always been supportive professional and always made me feel comfortable working out in the gym, highly recommend and once again thank you Mark!

Fantastic experience: I have chronic osteoarthritis and it is an awful disease but with Daniel Parsons help and some non threatening exercises I am feeling fitter and stronger. The long term benefit is pain reduction and after only a short period of time I am feeling more confident and suffering less. Daniel has a great personality and is very caring BUT his expertise is exceptional. I would recommend him without reservation. Thanks Dan.

Fantastic experience: I walked into the doors of Hunter Rehab with major concerns about my back after a decade of being a landscaper, and whether or not it was going to be able to be fixed without surgery. I was greeted by several lovely staff who were nothing short of friendly and welcoming, and after a consultation with the always friendly Caitlin she had identified the part of my back that was aching and sure enough knew what to do about it as well. It was by this stage I was confident that I was in good hands and over the next few weeks, it was proven beyond reasonable doubt. The environment was nothing short of healthy and happy, I was genuinely looking forward to each and every session I was attending. Her professionalism and passion for rehabilitation was contagious and she made every visit even better than the last one. After a few weeks of her program and with an ongoing program outside of th facility, my back has truly never felt better. Here's hoping I avoid any injuries in the future, but it brings me a calm sense of peace to know that whatever it is that I do injure, I am in the trustworthy and more than capable hands of Caitlin Cloete. It would be a disservice to not recommend Hunter Rehabilitation and Health to anyone else who was looking to rehabilitate themselves properly, professionally and in a great environment

Negative experience: Firstly I will say that I enjoyed attending HRH seeing the beautiful Kelsey. She was kind and caring and supportive. She made attending there an enjoyable experience. However I was disappointed that I was not notified when my EP was off sick, and instead it was assumed that I would be ok to be with someone else without my consent and then they still wanted to try and charge me the cancellation fee because it was my choice to not be seen by another EP. Yes I wasn’t charged but that was after me pushing for that not to happen. It’s sad that as a loyal customer they would treat me in such way. It has left me not wanting to attend their service as I don’t feel valued or welcomed. Edited on the 6/7 I appreciate your response to this review however what I don’t appreciate was firstly being asked to remove it on the 29/6. I stand by what I said and my experience there. I will no longer be attending and will not encourage others too as well

Fantastic experience: Hunter rehab team were fantastic to deal with. Josh was extremely supportive through my program.

Fantastic experience: For the past few months, I have been attending sessions at Hunter Rehabilitation and Health due to a workplace accident that happened some time ago but had left me with a neck injury that was causing me to suffer with quite severe headaches. I found all staff to be super friendly and very helpful. My physiologist, Josh Kessler always met me with a smile and was very easy to converse with. He was always encouraging me with all my exercises but never forceful. He was caring and thoughtful and I received the greatest of care whilst attending my sessions. I would highly recommend Hunter Rehabilitation and Health to any of my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: Since my horrific crash in February 2022 and after initial Physio, I was sent to Hunter Rehab for exercise physiology. There, I met the wonderful staff who always greeted everyone with a smile and a caring nature. They made attending appointments a welcome pleasure. It was here that I met my exercise physiologist - Joseph Smith. His empathy, professionalism, knowledge and ability to work with you to achieve your best would be rated as one of the best I have worked with. I am certainly glad Joseph got me to where I am now. He also likes some good banter which also made it more comfortable to do the work required. That doesn’t go without saying, I have made some good friends with the other physiologists. However, I am biased in giving Joseph my kudos. Thank you Joseph, the admin ladies (who run the show) and all at Hunter Rehab.

Fantastic experience: I’m so pleased to be seen by Kelsie at Hunter Rehabilitation and Health. It takes a lot for me to gain muscle strength and Kelsie has been such a great support and iv seen great improvement in my ability from her helping me. Kelsie is so caring and she loves to work with you to see progress in achieving your goals. Highly recommend her. Thank you Kelsie

Fantastic experience: Josh, at Hunter Rehab and Health, helped set me up with a program that is essential for my wellbeing. It was done personably and professionally. A big thank you!

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased with the treatment I have received at Hunter Rehab and Health. Daniel, my EP, has been so helpful, patient, informative and encouraging with my strength training and recovery. I first sought out his assistance in December 2022 after having bad neck and back pain, and since my treatment plan with him was developed and maintained, I now am so much better!! My pain has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased, my sleep is far better and I am loving life again once more! The exercises were built up gradually and in a way that I could maintain and that were totally doable, which I really appreciated. It wasn’t a huge dreaded program with countless steps and actions that was overwhelming, but rather a careful and considered plan that I actually enjoyed doing. Since seeing Daniel, I have now developed healthy habits of going to the gym 3 times a week, something I have never done before in my life, I have never been so consistent. I have quadrupled my neck strength and seen / felt a definite change in my overall strength, posture and muscle definition. This treatment plan actually works, and is executed in such a way that anyone could do it and see results. I am so impressed and so thankful for my experience, and indebted to Daniel for his advice, training, strength programs and just general encouragement. It was such a pleasure to catch up and chat with Daniel every appointment as well, he made me feel completely at ease. In addition, the team at the reception desk were always so lovely - the whole facility is so warm and welcoming, it was always such a nice experience turning up for my appointments. I can’t recommend Hunter Rehab and Health, and Daniel, enough! 11/10!!!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff friendly motivating reliable

Fantastic experience: Mark and the team at Hunter Rehabilitation and health are true professionals and my results are proof. Apon injuring my lower neck and losing mobillty in my left arm and my grip strength reduced to just 9kgs Mark designed a personal program for me. Now after just 3 months My grip strength is now 55kgs and I was able to complete 10x 100kg dead lifts. I really can't thank them enough for the support and guidance they have given me through my rehabilitation Regards ALLAN

Fantastic experience: Staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Josh at the Waratah clinic helped me regain my strength and mobility after a broken ankle. His knowledge, professionalism, and friendliness were greatly appreciated. I would gladly recommend Josh and Hunter Rehab to anyone. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Riley at the Raymond terrace clinic, and I can honestly say that he’s a testament to the company! very knowledgeable and personable he helped me get through a tough time in my life,and literally helped me get back to my feet. Can’t recommend enough

Fantastic experience: Fabulous team.

Fantastic experience: Tom Patterson’s knowledge and clarity on my injury was sublime. He tailored a program for me that was perfect. All the exercises in my program has enabled my shoulder to function again properly. My shoulder has been injured for months and I couldn’t get it right. Tom’s kind and caring approach to me instilled absolute confidence in his ability to help me recover. I recommend Tom to anyone to help them get back to their best self. I can’t thank you enough, Tom!

Fantastic experience: An incredible place to go! Friendly admin and a great service! I couldn’t recommend this place more. I’ve sent most of my family here

Fantastic experience: I recently had 5 visits over a period of 6 months at Raymond Terrace. I worked with Josh setting up an exercise programme that suited my needs. I found the app for my exercises easy to use and it helped me keep a record of my achievements. Overall Josh was professional, considerate and experienced. He made you feel at ease and continued to give up-to-date feed back. I would highly recommend Hunter Rehabilitation and Health.

Fantastic experience: Josh really managed to get my recovery back on track and it was a bonus that he was a really nice guy too. Understood the daily hasstes of life sometimes getting in the way of maintaining physical health.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Hunter Rehabilitation and Health highly enough. Josh has become an important part of my PTSD and mental health recovery. I have struggled to exercise safely under my own direction, trying not to trigger a PTSD meltdown due to elevated heart rate setting me into a rapid spiral. Josh has not only safely guided me through getting back to gym workouts, tailored to my capability and hyper vigilance, he is also helping me develop healthier routines/outlets, and confidence to engage again with community.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Hunter Rehab & Health more! I had an injury plagued shoulder that only became worse during lockdown. Sam was amazing and with his help I was able to completely get rid of the pain and mobility issues that I had been experiencing for years. Not only was I able to fix the injury but we progressed beyond and that increases my strength baselines massively. I can't recommend Sam and Hunter Rehab and Health enough they were amazing.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending one on one sessions and group classes at Hunter Rehabilitation and Health for a couple of years - my strength and mobility after an accident have improved greatly - highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Very professional team who are very good at their discipline. Helped me get back to my recovery post 2 lumbar surgeries. Kind, friendly and supportive staff at the centre. Special thanks and great appreciation for Tom who was instrumental in helping me recover thus far from where I was during my first visit. Thanks team. Highly recommend this team for your exercise physio needs.

Fantastic experience: Earlier this year I had a total knee replacement after which I had rehab through the hospital at which I had my surgery. I also have chronic back pain that was triggered by some of the exercises that were given to me during that time. It was suggested to me to see an exercise physiologist. This was new to me as I thought there were only physiotherapists. I googled and found Hunter Rehabilitation and decided to go to Raymond Terrace as that was closer to me. Enter Josh Kessler! He gave me exercises and after a few weeks challenged me a little more and always keeping them safe to do. Within a couple of months I found the pains I specifically went for were subsiding and were improving my lower back also. Overall I think the muscles supporting these areas have added strength and helps in my daily activities. Exercises should be done religiously to make any program a success and I thank Josh for the encouragement and pleasant vibe he has. It's great to know if I ever have problems again, I can reach out to Josh to see him again. Thank you

Fantastic experience: My experience with Kelsey at hunter rehab has been 5 star due to the fact of her reliability and flexibility in delivering a much needed service at the clinic or even at home if needed I would highly recommend this valuable service as she is a wonderful listener, problem solver with much empathy and compassion thank you

Fantastic experience: Two years ago I experienced a very traumatic accident at work falling twelve meters. I sustained multiple injuries including life threatening fractures to my neck and a brain injury. Eighteen months after my fall I have now started my rehabilitation journey with Josh at Hunter Rehabilitation and Health. He makes me feel i have a chance of a reasonable recovery. Do yourself a favour don't go past the professional and skilled team at Hunter Rehabilitation and Health. You will not be sorry, Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Mark is the best Exercise Physiologist. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: These guys work magic.... Manager Criss is one of those one of a kind great humans, that will go the extra mile.... Highly recommended.....

Fantastic experience: We were having some problems with the noise in the background of phone calls from the medicine balls. Once I brought this up, a staff member came down and had a chat. They were very apologetic and acted wonderfully professional. They were able to discuss solutions with us, and we have been able to discuss a compromise so they can use them during the 9-5 hours just with shorter routines/sets. I have no personal experience using their services, however, from a business sense they are professional, understanding and diligent.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful space and next level care. The team are genuine and can't do enough to help. Highly recommend these legends.

Fantastic experience: Chris & the team are exceptional. The care that the whole team provide makes me know I am in the right place to get back to my normal activity. Thanks legends. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and personalised service. Very thorough knowledge and great willingness to go above and beyond for their clients!

Fantastic experience: From the amazing receptionist to my awesome exercise physiologist and everyone else working there, these guys genuinely changed my life. After learning to move pain free for the first time in 20 odd years, I now trust them to work with my teenage son with Autism. Never in a million years did I think anyone could get me moving and exercising without pain, but they have done it in less than a year!

Fantastic experience: A very professional and friendly group of people. I felt very welcomed from the start. Eden has been wonderfully supportive and has tailored my exercise program exactly to my liking and happy to adjust it to my ability and likes/dislikes. I asked for help with motivation also and they have really done a great job keeping me going. Very non judgmental about weight issues.

Fantastic experience: Great service and friendly staff!!

Fantastic experience: Hunter Rehab and Health are the best Exercise Physiologists in the business highly recommended!! Knowledge and experience to help you rehabilitate and strengthen any injury or chronic condition.

Fantastic experience: hunter rehab was great! They understood my injury completely and the education was extremely helpful. I can now spend more time playing with my kids and am pain free!
