“Tev is an absolute champion. Had an ingrown nail causing me significant pain and Tev was able to treat it effectively on the first appointment. The whole booking process was online, with fees indicated upfront, and was simple to use. Thank you!”

“I had a fantastic experience at Brisbane Physiotherapy in their Albion clinic. Tev Pillai is a fantastic practitioner who made me feel very comfortable and heard and was very thorough in his treatment and explanation of my injury. It very much felt like a boutique experience, and the clinic is beautiful and welcoming. Leanne & Lisa on the front desk were lovely and helpful also.”

“I consulted Tev for foot and ankle pain. He did an efficient but thorough assessment and clearly explained his diagnosis and treatment plan, including strengthening exercises. He made up some padding to fit my current trail shoe insole and gave me some recommendations for other shoes that might suit my foot better. I appreciated his combined podiatry/physio expertise and can highly recommend”
