“I have been seeing Sportslab for a number of years on a regular basis for the treatment of a variety of injuries. Being a professional MMA fighter as well as a gym owner & personal trainer/martial arts instructor, I need to have my body operating at it’s best in order to earn a living & fight at my peak. That is were the guys at Sportslab perform miracles, I regularly turn up with numerous injuries that require chiropractic, physiotherapy and deep tissue massage in order to speed recovery. These integrated treatments have proved successful and efficient at keeping me at peak fitness. I find that their service is exceptional, from all staff, and their ability to assess and then provide effective treatment as well as guidance on how to manage these injuries whilst still training at a maximum intensity invaluable. I have often asked about client and student injuries and always get excellent advice on how best to manage their injuries so they can continue to train. I also have no hesitation in recommending Sportslab to any of my students or clients as well as training partners & friends.”

“At 29 years of age and having never sustained an injury that could not be remedied by a bag of ice, I sought professional advice for and treatment to my sporting injuries. In the space of two months I had received varied therapies for the three different sporting injuries to my right knee; a cork above the knee cap, a torn knee capsule and ITB tightness. I was impressed with the professional treatments provided by the Sportslab team, who all operated under the same roof. Dave was my physiotherapist, Fred the dry needle man and Matt the chiropractor, who would treat me on weekends. Their combined approach, along with Lukasz the Podiatrist, identified all areas that will counter current and future problems with my knee stability. The outstanding treatments I received at Sportslab allowed me to get back onto the playing fields and return to training quickly!”

"The past 8 years has seen the Sportslab team become an extension of our family. The dedication, passion, expert knowledge and the personalised care (and cure) of David, Matthew and the team - we have witnessed over these years - have proven in many ways, a godsend. My husband with his back, myself with my shoulder and the constant help and vision from David with our 15 yr old son (who has recently had a couple of minor operations on his knee) has led to our son wanting 'to do what David does' post school. The sincere friendship that has evolved during these years has definitely been a'plus' in our lives and we would like to take this opportunity to thank David and Matthew and of course Ali, Tom, Fred, Michel and Rafael. A special mention also to the front desk gals; Keren, Sue and Sofia who do a tireless job trying to fit us all in and thank them for their patience and always pleasant manner."

"Dear Tom, I am writing to thank you for the attention and wonderful remedial treatment I have received from Sports Lab (and previously when the practice was known as Holographic Health) for over five years now.

When I first attended I was in severe pain and felt my life, as I knew it, was over as was my working career.  I had severe lower back pain and glutes preventing me from sitting, my legs were constantly burning with severe pins and needles down both legs into my ankles and feet.  After a series of treatments and an exercise program to carry out on my own, the relief was unbelievable.

I have always been amazed at the attitude of the practice not to keep the patient returning weekly for ever, rather to teach the patient to manage their pain through exercise, providing tools to make those exercises effective.  That way I was able to return for further treatment only when pain returned, usually resulting from my not doing the exercises regularly enough. Over the years my degenerative arthritis has spread to most joints and the practice continues to assist me to manage the problems myself as much as possible.

My future is far more positive now and I am able to live with the problems of degenerative arthritis whilst managing it on my own with the occasional help of the practice.I have recommended many friends and associates to the practice and will continue to do so. My thanks to you, Brendan and your team of professionals for assisting me through my trying times."

“I am a landscape gardener and suffer from a condition called spondylolisthesis – or vertebral body slippage. When my condition first arose I went to a chiropractor who made matters worse, as he did not diagnose my condition. An osteopath who was excellent diagnosed my condition and I went to her for years until she moved interstate. Fear set in and I was reluctant to see a chiropractor again as the word sent shivers down my spine! I went in the end, Matthew took over and I have never looked back. He is a magician. I have confidence in him and his techniques. He knows my body and his treatment is more of a stable nature, I feel normal after I leave and my visits are further apart. I have recommended a lot of my friends to Matthew and they are more than happy with his treatments. In addition Sportslab reception are very friendly and helpful. My only fear is that Matthew will move interstate. Then I will have to follow.”

"Penny's knowledge of the human body and how it moves is nothing short of extraordinary, but it's her ability to impart this knowledge in a clear, concise and creative manner which makes her teaching style truly unique. The opportunity to learn Pilates from Penny is a life changing experience."

"Amazingly enough, I did manage to finish the Trailwalker! The last 11 km's were the most painful few hours of my life and I was pretty much incapable of walking at the end, but there was no way that I was pulling out at 89km and it was all worth it in the end to cross the finish line. It's fair to say, that with the state of my knees when I first came to see you guys, there was probably no way that I would have completed even half the course let alone the full 100km. So I would like to thank all the team, especially Tom and Marc for all their help, pain, random conversations and jokes - it all paid off in the end!! No doubt you will see me again anyway once I have decided what my next challenge will be!!!"

"I have been fortunate in being able to take advantage of Mr. Sempka’s expertise by attending, on a regular basis, Sports Lab Drummoyne Sydney, where he has been dealing with and taking care of problems relating to my feet, toenails and other related matters. He has been looking after me for many years now and I can attest to his complete professionalism and attention to detail in his approach to and carrying out, the procedures required to maintain my toes and feet in good working order. I am also very appreciative of his kindness and consideration for his client’s well-being.

Mr. Sempka treats every client with courtesy on a separate and individual basis. I can state this with certainty because I know a number of his other clients who also think very highly of him and his dedication to his profession. His expertise has helped in reducing and even eliminating my podiatric problems and I hope to be able to take advantage of his care and expertise for many years to come."

"I would like to express my extreme gratitude towards the Sports Lab Podiatry for their constant professionalism, care and friendly service shown to myself and my family who have been dedicated clients for several years. Many thanks!"

"I wanted to quickly drop you a note to thank Hollie for the brilliant service she gave me while fitting my orthotics. I first came to visit her because I was beginning to train for the half marathon and I was starting to have minor knee pains. Hollie gave very good and friendly service, fitted orthotics, which after a minor adjustment fitted perfectly. With continued training, thanks to these, I managed to complete my first half marathon in 1:54.32 - which I was extremely pleased with."

"In less than six months the team at Sportslab have really improved my quality of life. At only 40 years old my scoliosis was having an enormous impact on my ability to walk, sit and drive. Following a combination of manipulation, instruction and advice my severe back pain has gone. I trust the guys completely and love way they pool their expertise to make sure you get the right result."

"I have been a patient of Sports Lab Drummoyne for many years. After receiving outstanding therapy following my first car accident, I have maintained regular visits, traveling from the Sutherland Shire. David Pugh has successfully treated my accident and work related injuries with physiotherapy that has seen me return to full capacity in a very short time.

The chiropractic treatment given by Matthew Fernandez is exceptional and precisely tailored to my needs. He is thorough and very professional as well as being patient and very kind. He has successfully treated me for many ailments and injuries over the years. I have hobbled into his clinic in agony, emerging a short time later upright and pain free. He uses a holistic approach which has been particularly beneficial for me over many years. I am a 58 year old woman and I credit my flexibility and well-being to the professional and expert care I receive from Matthew."

"Frederic has been my Massage Therapist for over 4 years. During that
time he's helped keep me injury-free. With an eye to the future, he
leaves no stone unturned in his quest for new and innovative methods."

"I have been suffering from back and neck pain now for approx 20 years due to an injury playing rugby in my early teens. At the age of 33 I have sort treatment from a couple of different chiropractors and physiotherapists over this time. I did not realise how one dimensional their techniques and approach to accurately diagnose and identify the cause of my problems where until I started to see Matthew at Sports Lab.

Matthew identified that my condition was a result of several problems, hence treatment needed to be undertaken on a multi-faceted approach. Working with Matthew and Sharmayne on a variety of techniques and treatments, coupled with rehabilitation exercises, I genuinely feel as though I am getting on top of my problems. I have been attending Sports Lab for approx 4 years now. I highly recommend the services of both Matthew and Sharmayne for their outstanding professionalism and knowledge and have found the whole team to be exceptionally friendly and professional."

"Whilst visiting a podiatrist at Sutherland in 2001, it was there where I met Luke who was looking after my feet that day. I was a little bit hesitant to have a young fellow who was going to attend to my feet, but he was quite good on my first visit. I then moved on to Taree in 2004 and then continued traveling from Taree to Sutherland. On one occasion I attended the Sutherland podiatrist and found that Luke moved on to somewhere else. I found where Luke moved to so I made an appointment then and up until today I still attend to Luke to look after my feet and do what ever needs doing, in either Eastwood Podiatry Clinic, Drummoyne or Double bay Sports Lab.

I have been attending to Luke for more than eight years and he would be the best podiatrist I have come across. Being a diabetic I rely on Luke to look after my feet. He is very careful with what he is doing. I travel down to see Luke every five to six weeks. I don't mind traveling to see someone who is friendly and so good at his job. I can remember an advert we used to hear on the radio many years ago it went something like (when you’re on a good thing stick to it). Well I will be sticking with Luke for as long as I can as my Podiatrist. If I cannot drive I will travel by train all the way from Taree."
