Ross LyonAFL 3x Grand Final Coach
”When you spend as much time hanging in the air like I did, playing at the highest level, you’re going to wear some damage from a landing here or there. I’d never heard of PRP or hyundai—whatever it’s called-acid but both knees are back to their best and the shoulder is strong enough to carry the league once more. The Wiz is better than ever!

”15 years of playing AFL and countless surgeries was always going to leave wear and tear. Jacko looked after my strength program in 2010/11 so I reached out about my knee issues. He arranged PRP treatment, handled all the paperwork and within weeks I had 100% of the money back in my account. I’ve since had the other knee plus dodgy shoulder treated and not only is it great for the body, but just as importantly, for my mind! To be able to move freely and get back into training with the ongoing program advice from Jacko has been invaluable.
Michael GardinerAll Australian (2003)
”After retiring from AFL, there was no longer the docs and support I’d been used to for over a decade. Working with someone who understands our needs gave me confidence and the process couldn’t have been simpler. The knee that effectively ended my career has improved heaps and I’m now getting the shoulder treated with ongoing support provided.
Luke McGuaneRetired AFL Player (112 Games)
”I have struggled with a degenerative ankle for the past 12 years where now I can’t run anymore. Rob's lateral thinking and expertise has helped me maintain a healthy lifestyle with alternate training methods post my career. Rob genuinely cares about the athletes he works with and continues to check in with me regularly, many years post my career.
