Barefoot Physiotherapy | Best Physio Team Brisbane

I have been attending Barefoot Physiotherapy, mostly with the wonderful Caitlin D, for over 12 months now for a range of pain points, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Throughout the years, I've visited numerous physiotherapists, but none have been as effective, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful as the Barefoot team. Their holistic approach, treating the body as a whole rather than focusing on individual parts, has significantly accelerated my recovery and provided more comprehensive results than any previous treatments.

The collaborative environment at Barefoot Physiotherapy ensures that every aspect of my health is considered, making the treatment exceptionally thorough and personalised. Their dedication and innovative techniques have made a remarkable difference in my overall well-being.

Impressed by my own progress, I now bring my daughter to the team as well. She has also loved the experience and found it extremely beneficial for her sports-related injuries.

Barefoot Physiotherapy has truly transformed our approach to health and wellness. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking effective and compassionate care.

In the short time I have been attending Barefoot Physio I have seen huge improvements in my mobility and strength from each session. I am so grateful to Caitlin for all of her help with improving my movement- so that I could confidently return to work after injury last year. I also really appreciate the ethos of the business as an encouraging and welcoming environment to visit. Highly recommend this team -especially if you've struggled to find the right physio support as I had previously.

Barefoot is such a fantastic clinic. I have EDS and dysautonomia (which the physiotherapists are well versed in). I experienced my first rye neck and Georgia got me moving again with her very thorough and gentle approach- but extremely effective. Highly recommend barefoot to my Pilates clients as I’ve seen first hand how amazing their treatment is.

This team really is the best. I love to get up every morning and do a big walk, it sets me up well for the day. Last year I had the most horrendous back pain and really struggled to get out of bed let alone do my walk. A good friend recommended Barefoot and thank god they did. She went there because of them being HAES informed originally.

They got the pain settled down quickly so I could get back to walking but also did their whole body assessment after a few sessions that means now I’m actually better than before the back flare up. They also stayed in touch with my usual massage therapist to keep them in the loop and so they knew what to do when I saw them. I really feel cared for.

Barefoot Physiotherapy are a very different physiotherapy service. You are not one of the 3-4 patients being managed in a large room, rather you get the Physio’s undivided attention and complete assessment and treatment. I have been going for several years due to long standing musculoskeletal disorders and I prefer my usual physiotherapist but have seen most of the staff over the years and they are excellent with good handover and they all have very high assessment and treatment skills. I have regularly recommended the team at Barefoot to friends and family.

Barefoot Physiotherapy is incredible. It’s really important to me to work out regularly at the gym, run and cycle so when my knee started playing up and I couldn’t do these things I booked in. The physios are so thorough and worked out the problem was being caused by things ‘further up the chain’ in my hip and back. They really listened and worked out ways I could keep working out while we got the knee and hip settled down. Now I’m aiming to run a half marathon with my daughter later in the year!

I cannot speak highly enough of the Barefoot Physio team, in particular the lovely Caitlin D! Following a recent motor vehicle accident, Caitlin's exceptional care has been a game-changer in my recovery journey. Her warmth, expertise, and genuine compassion create a such an incredible environment that goes beyond the physical aspects of treatment. Caitlin goes above and beyond, taking the time to understand individual needs and celebrating every milestone with enthusiasm. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her as my physiotherapist, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of compassionate and effective care. Thank you, Caitlin, for making my recovery journey not only successful but also filled with kindness and encouragement. Barefoot Physio is lucky to have such a dedicated professional on their team! 👏🌟

Have only the best things to say about Barefoot Physio! Georgia was both so professional and caring at the same time, personalizing the treatment and coming at it with a holistic, full body approach which I felt really helped me! Will definitely be back for all my future aches and pains <3

I’ve been attending Barefoot Physiotherapy for over 18 months now and I see Caitlin Sargent regularly. Caitlin is an exceptional physiotherapist; highly experienced and knowledgeable. What makes her and her approach so unique, however, is her empathy, her ability to keep an open mind, and the extraordinary lengths to which she goes for her clients. I have seen significant improvements in my health since I started seeing her. During my time at the clinic, I’ve also had the pleasure of seeing the wonderful Cath (Catherine Mullins). All team members know their clients (whether they treat them personally or not), collaborate to ensure the best treatment for everyone, and are kind, welcoming and understanding. It is an incredibly unique and holistic physiotherapy clinic with sound values.

While physiotherapy needs are completely individual, I do highly recommend Barefoot Physiotherapy.

The best physio in Brisbane. After years of chiros, osteo, physio, I’ve finally found a place that treats each patient as an individual, assesses each patient holistically and the whole body from top to toe. I’ve had amazing results and am pain free after each session.

Sal and her team are unparalleled in their experience and dedication to the highest quality care in empowering their clients to achieve their health goals. I regularly refer patients to Barefoot. They are a huge asset to healthcare in Brisbane.

I can't recommend Barefoot Physiotherapy highly enough! Caitlin S is professional, knowledgeable and was genuinely invested in my complete recovery and well-being. At my first appointment, Caitlin took the time to explain the underlying cause of my pain as well as the individual treatment plan, keeping my goals and lifestyle in mind. Her friendly, clear communication helped me to better understand my body's needs, and her expertise has enabled me to fully recover and feel fantastic every day.

Simply The Best!

For many years, I stumbled along with intermittent but nonetheless, ever-present back pain. It was a pain I could rely on. I'd think it was gone, but then it would pop its' head up again. A little like John Farnham, it just couldn't resist a comeback!
The Barefoot Team have worked wonders with me over the last few years. Their treatment method has resulted in significant improvement in my ability to 'live life to the fullest'. I am no longer hampered by back or neck pain. My overall body movement is amazing!
Their approach to my restrictive issues was highly professional, amazingly accurate and truly compassionate. I am beyond grateful for their care.
I've been treated by several of the physiotherapists in the Barefoot Team. I do, of course, have my favourite. Oh wait.... favourites?! Like a medium quarter pounder meal from Maccas (with a chocolate shake), you will receive the same effective treatment, no matter who you book with. You won't be asked, "Do you want fries with that?" You'll get the fries every time!
From the moment you enter the Barefoot Sanctuary, you'll know you've chosen well! I am delighted to be able to offer this review and grateful for the inspiration that is, Barefoot Physiotherapy!

Russell "Favourite Client" Walters

My fitness, aches and pains have dramatically improved since Caitlin Sargent became my physiotherapist. She has helped me get back into running (and enjoying running). She’s a fantastic and practical mentor for all things pain and injury related. I would give her 10/10 if I could!

Sal (Director) does such an incredible job with thorough training with her new team members, you just know you can see any face on the team and be in good hands, in the 'barefoot' ways. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing!
I’ve been attending appointments with Caitlin Detmers since January this year (9 months so far) and I’m so happy with the progress that’s been made with my body. I’m an ex professional ballet dancer so there was a lot of damage and irritation within my body due to those years, as well as a few old injuries that needed attending to. I’m happy to report I am now pain free and feeling stronger than ever! Not only has Caitlin been great in helping me physically, but she’s also been such a great emotional support as I recovered. She is always super compassionate, very understanding, always looking for the positive and brightening up my day. Her problem solving nature had her treating and fixing issues before I even knew they were there! Would definitely highly recommend.

I have been experiencing chronic upper back, neck, shoulder, jaw, lower back, knee and ankle pain for around 5 years. I have tried other physios, spent over 6 years seeing a personal trainer, massage therapists, stretching, yoga, and trigger point release with no real improvement and some therapies flared up my pain. I was recommended barefoot Physio by the EPs at anybody Pilates studio and after an assessment said I have generalised hypermobility syndrome.

I have been going to barefoot physios for the past 6 months and my pain and discomfort have improved significantly. I have pain free days and the pain that I do experience is less intense than when I first started seeing them.

The physios I see Caitlin S and Britt are very kind, understanding and practice in a true holistic way. They have never once made me feel like I’m not doing enough in between appointments and understand that life and work can impact how much I do in between appointments. They have given me specific trigger points to release that help me keep on top of my pain in between appointments. They set up my car to ensure I wasn’t straining while driving and gave good posture pointers to stay relaxed.

They keep the EPs at anybody Pilates Studio up to date with my progress and what movements I need to avoid. They also email me after the appointment with the releases and exercises to do at home so I don’t forget any.

I am so grateful that I have finally found Barefoot Physios!

I have happily been a patient of Caitlin S and the Barefoot team for several years now. I found Caitlin S after 18 months of undiagnosed leg pain and after seeing many many many different health professionals. Instantly, I knew I was in very capable hands. Caitlin S values the importance of a holistic approach to treatment, providing evidence based care and listening to her clients. As a health professional myself, this is something extremely important to me. I have always felt supported, encouraged and empowered and most importantly pain free since working in partnership with Caitlin S. Caitlin S has since supported me through 2 pregnancies and we have been able to establish a very manageable maintenance approach to keeping my body happy and healthy. I am so grateful for Caitlin S and the team and can not recommend them highly enough.

I feel very lucky to be part of the barefoot clientele... the minute I walk into the door to leaving I'm cared for... this even extends to when I'm seeing other health professions, the barefoot team communicate to ensure I'm looked after. The culture Sal has created is very special and certainly makes me feel very welcome. Caitlin S has been a huge part of my injury recovery and strength. I enjoy living my barefoot lifestyle. They also have great mints on your arrival!

Staff have been very friendly, informative and professional. Any query I raised has been addressed eloquently and treatment has been holistic and comprehensive. Every session has been purposeful with a clear roadmap established for progress and return to full function. Highly recommend.
