say ABOUT US

After my 20+ years within the ADF, I have sustained injuries that required the treatment of a Physiotherapists. During this time I have not seen the amount of passion and dedication towards a clients recovery as much as I have seen within Dale Hardes. Dale has supported me in so many ways that I can not count. He is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals no matter how small or big they are. I know that I have been extremely lucking to have found Dale to help me throughout my rehabilitation after being medically discharged from the ADF. Thank you so much Dale.

I have been seeing Dale now on and off for almost 2 years for what can only be described as a difficult ankle injury. I have seen a number of physio’s in trying to help me recover and Evolving Physiotherapy is by far the most proficient in evidenced based treatment and in the contemporary methods of treatment. Unlike many physio’s Dale won’t leave you on pointless machines so he can double book patients and he will move you into self-management as early as he can. Dale has always taken the time to explain where my treatment was heading and will take any concerns or restrictions on board. Besides the professional and effective manner your treatment will be conducted you will also genuinely enjoy the bedside manner on offer from the team. can’t recommend Dale and the Evolving Physiotherapy team enough.

I have worked with Dale in a full-time capacity for 12 months and we continue to work together in a referral sense. I can say with absolute certainty that I have not worked with many clinicians of Dale’s calibre. Dale’s approach to injury management combines best evidence with practical and sensible movement-based treatment. Dale’s personable approach to treatment ensures that every client he sees gets an experience that is unique not only their injury, but also their individual circumstances. From a strength and conditioning perspective, Dale’s advantage over so many other physiotherapists is he wants you to be moving pain free as soon as possible and facilitates this in a manner that is encouraging and appropriate for your movement history and movement goals.
