Our Testimonials
What Our Client Say About Us“Having been in the physiotherapy profession for many years, it never ceases to amaze me how the path to becoming great therapists is a never ending learning process. Continuing education has evolved to be so much more than courses on clinical conditions and treatment techniques. While we know the client will benefit from our applied knowledge, experience shows us we are often unsuccessful in gaining the long term results for which we strive. We need to have a much broader awareness of cognitive behaviour, personalities and understanding of the individual. Annette Tonkin provided our team with valuable information enhancing our awareness of the influence language and consulting styles can enhance or diminish our results. Her excellent presentation gave our staff both knowledge and tools to immediately apply in the clinical setting. All therapists need to develop and continue to improve their relationship skills and I thoroughly recommend Annette’s input to all health professionals striving to improve.

MAX KAVANAGH - Physiotherapy
“It is with much enthusiasm that I recommend Annette Tonkin. My first association with Annette was in 1993 in the inaugural year of our state’s Women’s National Basketball Team – Adelaide Quit Lightning. Annette was appointed as our team physiotherapist from 1993-2004 and was an integral part of our 4 WNBL (Women’s National Basketball League) titles during that time. Annette had a great rapport with all players. Annette was instrumental in helping me overcome the biggest personal challenge of my sporting career.”

The simple psychological strategies that you learn are put into the context of a physiotherapist. This makes her training and coaching relatable and practical.
