Rup has been working on me for a while now both as a physio and strength and conditioning coach. I can't speak more highly about him. I have just reached the top 100 in Australian tennis. I look forward to my continuous work with Rup.

I have had back pains for so long. Went to many doctors. But no one could figure out exactly what was wrong until I saw Reshan. He worked his magic and I am back to normal in less than two months. The great thing Reshan is He not only treats the symptoms but also get to the root cause. He goes above and beyond to ensure that I was doing things right. He even showed me how to lift weights. Unlike other doctors, he encouraged me to continue training and get the forms right.
More importantly, he takes time to really understand and know his patients. After he fixed my first issue, I went to see him few months later for another problem, and I was surprised to see how much he remembered about me and all the little chats we had over the past sessions. This gave me the comfort and confidence that he treats me as a human being not a block of cash. Lol.
In addition, they are fantastic at customer service. The call centre, booking system, auto reminder - everything works perfectly. I did not meet his colleague but I heard he is equally good.
Not that I want to go there again but if you have any problems, I highly recommended this clinic.

I tried different specialists around Sydney to recover from by back injury but, definitely, I got the best results when Reshan started treating me. He helped me since the beginning providing professional advice and work: identifying the cause of the problem, setting a plan with useful exercises, monitoring the progression after each session and assisting with his know-how.

I had knee pain that did not improve with medication. I saw Reshan and he told me in the 1st session what was wrong and how to fix it. After the 1st session (after 1 week), I had great improvement- approx 80% better. I followed up with Reshan for another 2 sessions and he gave me further exercises so that the problem is kept away for the long term. Very Nice guy and passionate about helping.

Rup fixed my lower back pain in just one session. I was in pain for a week and decided to pop in for a proper examination. Rup was able to identify my problem straight away and also introduced me a few exercises that I can tolerate. I could feel the difference right away after the first session. The follow-up session was very helpful too . Rup is very professional and patient.Highly recommended !

I had lower back pain for months and have seen a few physios previously going twice a week. None of them told me what exactly was the root cause of my pain. Reshan assessed me and gave me a diagnosis which he specifically treated and my pain reduced drastically over a few weekly sessions. Listen to him and you will see results. Not only that, he educated me on how to self manage and not to rely on him which is awesome. I won't go anywhere else now for any future aches and pains. Go here! You will not regret it.
Oliver Whyte

Extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. I had back to back injuries which Reshan was able to identify and provide great advice and exercises which sped my recovery up and got be back to full range of motion in a few weeks. Would highly recommend

Rup is different to most other physios - having studied at University alongside having his own experiences within his own training and having access to the Fitness First gym meant that any issues I had were resolved extremely quickly. This is due to the readily avaliable access to the gym, his knowledge and quick analysis and focus on results rather than money.

I came to Reshan for my knee pain. I couldn't drive without feeling sharp pain in my knees. After a few sessions and being consistent with the prescribed exercises the pain went away. I'd like to say thank you to Reshan & the team.

Rup is the best Physio And coach I have seen!
I’ve had a history of lower back and knee issues which have affected my ability to go to the gym and do what I love most..Run.
When I came to Rup, he was caring, knowledgeable, empathetic and most of all, he listened.
We slowly progressed our exercises and now I’m squatting, running and hurdling better than ever.
I couldn’t have asked for a better Physio, he’s been a godsend! All the pain of our sessions were so worth it
Recommend very highly!! Thanks Rup!

Reshan & Rup have been working with me for the past 10 months to recover from a traumatic injury. All I can say is thank you for everything. You guys are the best at your job. These guys will help you and get you back to what you need. They make rehab fun too! Thanks again boys!

23:26 09 Mar 19
Saw Reshan for my back pain after a recommendation from a friend. I couldn't even walk. He literally fixed me up in one session and told me what to do so it doesn't come back. He really focuses on education and tells you what the problem is and how to look after it. He even tells you not to come back as he doesn't want you to depend on him after he has taught you everything you need to manage by yourself. His such a nice guy too! Send all my family to him.

I started seeing Rup following a hip and back injury. When I first began, I was quite anxious, scared and avoided almost every lower body exercise. Rup gradually introduced simple rehab exercises to increase my confidence and then helped me to progress to more advanced exercises. He also identified particular muscle imbalances that had contributed to my injury, explaining the reasons as to why I had developed them and then helped fix these as well.
Rup listens to your goals then takes you beyond them, all while regaining your confidence. He is an amazing physiotherapist with a remarkable range of knowledge, attention to detail, patience and genuinely cares. He has provided with me an excellent program and I don’t think I would have returned to the gym without his help and encouragement. I’m stronger than I have ever been before. I highly recommend Rup!

Reshan quickly made a correct diagnosis of a bulging disc and demonstrated the daily exercises I should do at home. He video'd me before and after the session and I could already see the difference in flexibility in my back. After 2 days of doing the prescribed movements my whole body felt revitalised and the stiffness in my back was gone. I went back to Reshan just as a follow-up where he watched me do squats and deadlifts, video'd them - and gave feedback on better form to go forward with my training - he also gave me a couple of specific cable exercises to strengthen my back for dragon boating. Reshan is very knowledgeable and explains the issues very well and also why he is prescribing the exercises and what they are doing. Highly recommended
Will Lam

Rup helped me with a bulging disc in my lower back. He’s super knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about my injury. I was really struggling with pain a few months ago but with Rup’s help I’m back to living a normal life pain-free!

I have been to many Physio’s over the years and IYM are the best yet. Reshan has been amazing at treating my injuries whenever they pop up. Always getting me back to 110% after a few sessions. He even resolved a chronic issue I had with my ankle for years that I had just accepted as life. Definitely highly recommend IYM.
Simon Saha
00:28 11 Dec 18
I could not recommend a better physio than Rup. I have cycled through so many physio from private clinic to public hospitals. I came to Rup with excruciating sciatic pain from a partial laminectomy performed on L4/L5. He instantly knew what I was talking about and the pain I was experiencing. He provided the perfect recovery plan to help me back to my peak physical condition. Between our weekly sessions, he would check up on me and ensure I was completing the necessary recovery work and kept me on track. His service and care for his patient is unparalleled. Rup takes the extra steps to care and provide all the necessary support, information and encouragement that's essential for a successful recovery. Without him I would still be wallowing in pain going from physio to physio without any proper guidance.
These days I am able to run over 5km following my surgery and am performing better than before the surgery. It's phenomenal the progress i have made with Rup's help. I cannot believe how much progress I have made in large part to Rup.
He is an amazing physio and I cannot stress enough how excellent the service is.
Thanks Rup!!!

After over 10 years of ongoing pain in my shoulder, and seeing over 5 physio’s, an orthopaedic surgeon, 3 x cortisone shots, and months of poisonous NSAIDs I have to say that IYM is the only place that gave me resolution. Reshan worked with me to show me exactly what the issue was and how to resolve it. 6 months ago I couldn’t move my shoulder, today I’m able to do weights again - NO DRUGS OR SURGERY. Before you consider seeing a physio or getting surgery, DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR and visit IYM. It will save you $$$$, time and your sanity. Thanks Reshan!

I've been seeing Rup for nearly a year now after injuring my back at the gym. He came highly recommended and I was sceptical of physios as I've never had a great one in the past. Rup's skills, professionalism and compassion blew me away. Within a few sessions I was pain free again. Most importantly he also teaches you correct form so you don't re-injure yourself. He has been my go to if I've strained or injure myself and had been a godsend.
Couldn't recommend him enough 👍
Mariana Bouzeid
07:00 26 Nov 18
Highly Recommended!!! Reshan was very professional and explained the extent of my injury and what steps we were going to take to repair my back. Within the first session I saw immediate an improvement in myself.
100% recommended!!!!!

I came to Rup with severe leg pains which had affected a lot of my daily activities. In only 3 sessions he had diagnosed the issue, put me on an exercise program and I’ve been pain free ever since. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough, thank you Rup!
Azim Rauff
02:28 23 Nov 18
Hands down one of THE BEST physiotherapists in Sydney!!
I saw Reshan for a back pain I had for several years and within 3-4 visits, I had so much relief and overall improvement & mobility.
Reshan knows what he's doing and spends a considerable amount of time with his patients. He is extremely thorough in his diagnostics and explains the issue in layman's terms. He would then set out a regime to follow and the magic happens!
I have no hesitation in recommending Reshan and in fact, all my family and relatives locally and from overseas are his patients!
Thanks Reshan - you are the Rock of Rockdale!!

I cannot thank IYM enough. Reshan has helped me understand my injury, as well as, manage my pain. Through his thorough assessment I have now majority of my movement back and each time I go for treatment I am mentally and physically able to see improvement. Reshan takes the time to talk you through your treatment plan and how to prevent injuries for the future. He is professional, yet friendly and very funny. Best physio I've ever been to. Highly recommend IYM to everyone.

Reshan is the best physio I’ve ever had. My back was injured in the gym by adding too much weight onto the bar. I was worried and didn’t know what to do. Until I saw Reshan He educated me by his knowledge and fix my back More importantly, he’s also pumped confidence in me. I thought u was never going to do training again but he helped me to with my training by teaching me the right technique that’s something beyond and above, without saying all the laughs that he gave us. 10 out of 5 service !!!!

Reshan is very experienced and knowledgable. I have pain on my hamstring for about 6 months ago. Visited 4 different physio + chiro , was told i have tight hamstring then glute tendonosis then back to tight hamstring again . Visited GP, was told i should just take pain killer, stop exercise. Then i decided to keep seeing different physio until someone is confident with their diagnosis and treatment. Lucky me, i found IYM Rockdale via google search (picked it because of the 5 stars rating). Reshan did not even look at my ultra sound or xray , he patiently listened to my symptoms, he knew it was my lumber spine issue causing the problems down my glute and hamstring. He is very confident and know exactly what i have to do. Its been the 3rd visits, my injury has been improved alot, i stopped taking pain killers, best of all, i finally get to go back on the gym floor, back on track ! Thanks Reshan.

Rup is a fantastic physio! I came in with severe ankle pain, and in just 4sessions he helped me resolve my symptoms. He gave me the education I needed to prevent my ankle sprains happening again and his exercises were excellent and specific! He is very friendly and cares deeply about his patients...all the pain is worth it. Thanks Rup!!

I came to IYM Physio after four months of ineffective physio with two other physiotherapists elsewhere. I had damaged assorted ligaments in my ankle, including a full tear. My ankle was painful to walk on so I gave IYM a go though given how long my foot had been injured I didn't think it would be possible to have it recover properly. I got no BS treatment and I've now been back to my all-out aerobic workouts for a few weeks and am absolutely stoked. Reshan is a legend!
Angela Hyde
06:56 08 Oct 18
What a great guy Rup I had a severe bad hip and he fixed it good and proper. I was in so much pain but with his physio work I was up and ready to go again in 5 weeks . Fantastic job done thankyou so much . Would recommend you highly.
Malik Mohamed
11:57 20 Sep 18
Saw Reshan after a recommendation and after seeing other Physio’s in the area who just put machines on my back and left me to see others next to me and gave me no time. Reshan gave me a specific diagnosis and explained everything in detail and immediately reduced my back pain. Highly recommended physio!

Rup provided me with excellent treatment and a tailored rehab program for my shoulder that allowed me to get back to pressing in 5 weeks. I had previously been unable to press without pain for the last 4 months and was seeing very little improvement before I started treatment with Rup (I had seen other physios in that time). Rup set ambitious but achievable goals that allowed me to progress quickly and safely with confidence.
Gavin Ross

My boy Rup!
Prior to seeing Rup I had physio shopped as far as Coogee, with bandaid solutions or no solutions at all.
After one session with Rup, he was able to not only pinpoint my weaknesses and imbalances but Identified the flaws in my training that brought them about.
Before seeing Rup I was fustrsred, not growing, riddled with injuries & imbalances and makeing excuses to avoid the big lifts or lift above my head. Worst of all, training, which is so important to me and such a big part of my life and happiness had become a point of stress and frustration.
Within a month he had me injury free and stronger than I can remember. His knowledge of strength, conditioning and movement is his point of difference, and why I’ll go nowhere else.
I’ve never had a physio aim to get me back in the gym independently. Rup shares his knowledge freely, not it drips and drabs to keep you dependent and in a way that’s simple and easy to understand.
I don’t make referrals but I’ve already given this legends card to my mates and I don’t write reviews, but here I am 100+ characters in.
10/10 hands down.

Rup was fantastic, knows exactly what his doing. Unlike other physios that just get you back each week to make their money, Rup is upfront with how many sessions he thinks you need, fixes you up and gives you exercises for self therapy.

I have never been happier than I am now after doing my physio recovery with Rup!
After a football injury to my shoulder and reconstruction surgery. I was sure that I would never be the same but only a couple months later, I am already pain free, have all movement and have regained strength in my shoulder and am looking forward to playing football again in only a few weeks. I can’t recommend Rup enough, he was caring, attentive, funny and most importantly empathetic with my situation.
Thank you Rup

I’ve been having lower back pains and problems since I was very young. Having been to plenty of physios with not much improvement, Rup has not only improved the pain levels in my lower back but I am able to move around with so much more freedom and strength.
You don’t just pay for physio with Rup, you pay for some great banter too.
Thanks Rup!

Brendan Wu

As a person who has suffered with chronic shoulder issues since the age of 15. I've been with man physios who only resolved the issue without educating me about why it continuously comes back.
I was treated by Reshan over the coarse of 6 months and by Rup for 1 month, when I over corrected my form and injured myself.
In both instances, I was treated physically as well as educated on the bio-mechanics of my movements. Equipped with this knowledge, i'm more confident in self-managing my should pain should it arise again as well as getting back into training with heavier weights.
I definitely recommend their services and their side of humor.

I came to Rup for my left knee injury after seeing other physiotherapists in the area and being unsatisfied. Rup was very friendly from the get go and spent time to understand my injury. He gave me a week-by-week training schedule to get back to work and back to playing soccer again. After just 6 sessions I now have the confidence to carry out strenuous activity and have learnt the skills necessary to preserve full mobility in the knee and avoid acute exacerbations. Although Rup is young he is very knowledgeable and is able to answer questions in depth. I would recommend him to any of my family and friends.

Cane to see the physio with bursitis in both shoulders..they sent me to be xray'd to see exactly what's going on..came back with results and I was fixed within 4 weeks ..not only has the pain gone but I was shown proper form and technique and now I'm shoulder pressing and boxing again!!! Thank you so much !!!

Rup Sarkar treated my tendonitis in my rotator cuff at IYM Physiotherapy which I was in extreme pain in from playing both tennis and badminton. He put me on a 6 week program and I completely recovered in 5 weeks through hands on therapy and 3 simple exercises with a resistance band between the weekly consultations. He also gave me weight exercises to prevent this injury from happening again and as a result made my shoulder a lot more durable to aggressive tennis and Badminton smashes. Would highly recommend Rup to anyone for athletic injuries

20:16 11 Dec 17
Brilliant service and the result was outstanding, I was prescribed to not play strenuous sport for 4-6 weeks as that was the predicted time it would take for my ankle to heal but it literally healed in less than a week. Reshan definitely knows his stuff.

Came to Rup with back pain. Great diagnosis of overload of muscles. Put me on a good strength and training program. Now I'm back to training martial arts at 100%. Would rate 10/10. Thanks Rup!!
Shane Saad
06:15 08 Nov 17
IYM Physio is the only place I trust for physio rehab. I came in to see them with a pinched nerve in my back just weeks before my wedding. Rup had me walking normal pain free in no time. My wife got a pinched nerve 4 days out from the wedding and I immediately called Rup. He had her walking down the aisle and dancing again.
I've been back for other issues such as pulled muscles/knots etc and Rup has always managed to get me walking out better than when I walked in. Rup is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and thorough. He explains the problem and teaches me how to prevent it. I wish I found this place sooner as my injuries keep me out of the gym for years. I feel so much better, younger and happier now that I'm able to do my gym routine again. I seriously can't recommend this place enough!
Steven Scott

Reshan is all about the solution and understanding why your body is acting the way it is. This approach of education as well as rehabilitation is unlike any physio I have ever used before. My whole family have benefited from him. I can highly recommend Reshan.

Recently visited IYM Physiotherapy in Rockdale for my back pain, couldn't have asked for a better physiotherapist. Reshan is very professional and highly knowledgeable, he listened carefully and really made an effort to find the root of my problem. He did a very thorough analysis and was great in explaining clearly what was causing my back pain and how to resolve it. The treatment he provided was spot on, showed me exactly the exercises I needed to do and let me record him so I could refer to it again after, super helpful. Highly recommend
