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.

I had the pleasure of working with Jackson after twisting my wrist at work, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise. He quickly assessed the injury and developed a treatment plan that helped me recover faster than I expected. Jackson was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about my progress. Thanks to him, I’m back to full strength and pain-free. Highly recommend! Barbara S2025-04-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If all physiotherapists were like Dan, no one would dread their appointments! Super sweet, incredibly patient, and explains things so clearly that even my brain (which sometimes lags like bad WiFi) can understand. He gives great attention to detail and somehow makes rehab feel less like a chore. Highly recommend—your muscles will thank you! 🤩 Good Evins2025-03-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Proactive rehabilitation! So glad I was referred to Dan.

A special thanks to Dan for his expertise which have significantly helped me with a disc bulge. Highly recommend Fixio to anyone in need of effective physiotheraphy Cara Tobin2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fixio has been an incredible find. I started doing the Pilates with Jaeme (which is fabulous). I then saw Jaeme for a niggling pain in my wrist and later my ankle. Jaeme is so professional and knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to help and guide. I’m now pain free and couldn’t recommend this clinic more. Jaeme genuinely cares about her patients and is fascinated by the human body and how/why everything works. All the gold stars. Brett Pollock2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always had issues with my shoulder, since coming here, seeing Jaeme I now have full mobility back since my injury and hopefully soon get back into training hard again.
