EXPERT SECOND OPINION
When you feel confused by what you’ve been told by your current health professional, get expert understanding and plain language advice that gets you back on track.
EXPERT SECOND OPINION
Fixio Physio Dee Why offers second opinion physiotherapy services for people who have complex or chronic pain presentations, who would like to receive another perspective to explore alternative non-surgical treatment options or to get clarity on the direction that their rehabilitation needs. A second opinion consultation from a Titled Physiotherapist can help reassure you about your health, which allows you to make an educated decision about your path moving forwards.
In many cases people are given a diagnosis that doesn’t align with their views on their current health or symptoms; or they feel as though the healthcare professional didn’t listen to their needs adequately or give them the correct level of support.
This is completely normal across the spectrum of healthcare. Receiving a second opinion at the time you feel it is necessary is highly encouraged by all medical professionals – it allows you to make confident decisions regarding your own treatment options by providing you with the education of all your possible management plans moving forwards. At Fixio Physio we firmly believe that you should be empowered to make the right choice for you when it comes to your health.
Your Second Opinion will be conducted by Mason Neal – an APA Titled Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist and the Clinical Lead Physiotherapist at Fixio.

Posted on Robin McIntyreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Fixio for the highly professional and knowledgeable staff .previously Jackson Foster sorted out an issue and now Danny Shaw is working on a foot issue. I have found that they are great at treating ,not only sports injuries but oldies as well . Kind regards Rob McIntyrePosted on Rick FreethTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jaeme is an excellent practitioner. She explains the injury problem and demonstrates the rehab exercises really well. I’ve had lower back stiffness and pain for years but now enjoying increased strength and flexibility without pain. Highly recommendPosted on Jamie LeylandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jaeme is an absolute miracle worker - with her support I’ve been running injury free for almost a year, for the first time in over a decade. You’re the best!Posted on kate munroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been seeing Jaeme for lower back and hip pain and she's fantastic. She's helped me recover from the initial injury with pain management and now I'm building strength with her gym program to prevent another injury. Highly recommend.Posted on Zander GeraldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jaeme Last has exceptional knowledge in general physio and recovery techniques. Especially running related symptoms and how to treat them effectively.Posted on Neil EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel has looked after me for my broken elbow since straight after the plaster was removed. At every appointment my progress was measured and new exercises given to allow for the slow progress that was occurring early on which is common with this type of injury. Whilst Daniel is very good it is really up to the patient to carry out the stretching and excercises. He supports and encourages you in this endeavour so that you don't give up. He can massage the effected areas, stretch the joint to ease the pain, apply acupuncture to help the muscles relax and does this with a personality that makes even a painful session not as bad. I'd recommend him to anyone in the same situation as I've been in.Posted on Pine AppleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After having numerous treatments with other Physio’s I tried FIXIO. NO ONE LIKE FIXIO I have problems with my shoulder ‘cuff tear’ and Jaeme has guided me though what I required. I’m almost gave up on Physiotherapy but these guys are above the rest. ThankyouPosted on Denisa StřížováTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Fixio! Great experience with Jaeme, I recieved an outstanding care. Jaeme helped me a lot with my long term and painful issues. She is very knowledgable, really listens, analyses and goes extra mile to heal your body. Jaeme is the best, thank you!Posted on Karen TansiniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Fixio! Danny Shaw has been my physiotherapist since I had a knee surgery a couple of months ago, and he is not only an excellent professional, but an extremely kind and emphatic person. I have achieved my fitness goals way ahead of time, and he has provided me with a wealth of information for me to continue to move forward. Equally important, Danny has always given me the reassurance I required to feel confident and comfortable concerning my training and day to day activities. My recovery journey would most definitely be a lot harder if it wasn’t for him and Fixio. Forever grateful!Posted on Yohanesh ChaulagainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Fixio after suffering a calf injury. From the very first appointment, the team made sure I was looked after and followed up regularly until I was completely ready to return to my normal routine and gym sessions. A special shoutout to Jaeme, who was amazing throughout the whole process. She created tailored exercises and progressive workloads that really helped me recover safely and effectively. I highly recommend Fixio Dee Why to anyone needing physio support.
