Very happy with Phil's treatments of acupuncture and massage.
He's the best practioner for acupuncture, and his massages are
second to none. My osteoarthritis is much less painful and I have
improved flexibility in my injured shoulder. Highly recommended.

My friend referred me to see Phil after I had suffered from vertigo
for four long months. I had already seen vertigo specialists,
doctors, and osteopaths, but nothing had helped.Within about a
week of seeing Phil, I was free from vertigo. After months of
feeling dizzy every single day, it felt like an absolute miracle.Not
only did Phil help clear the vertigo itself, but he also helped me
heal the trauma that came from being dizzy for so long. Every
morning I would wake up anxious, wondering if the vertigo would
be back. Through his sessions, he helped calm my nervous system
and release that fear.I am beyond thankful and relieved. Phil is
truly a healer, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I know Phill for about 3 years now. I live in Brisbane, but I am in
Sunny Coast all the time and every time I am here, I have to go to
see Phill for massage and acupuncture. I had 2 hip surgeries in the
past 3 years and his is an expert and very skilled professional that I
trust to help me with the recovery process.

I’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis for a while, and after just
one session with Phil I’m honestly blown away by the difference…
His acupuncture and dry needling treatment left me walking out
feeling lighter on my feet, with relief I didn’t expect so
quickly…I’ll definitely be going back for follow-up sessions to
keep the progress going, but based on this first treatment alone, I’m
absolutely amazed... Phil really knows his stuff… Highly
Recommended.

I sought out Phil’s assistance to help with insomnia, high stress,
anxiety and low mood issues and I was extremely happy with the
results. After a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in
my sleep patterns, as well as a noticeable reduction in stress and
anxiety. His knowledge on diet, internal organ impact on physical
ailments and sharing of mindfulness practices also aided
immensely to the benefits of the acupuncture treatments.I would
highly recommend BioChi Clinic to anyone suffering from the
conditions that were affecting me. Thank you Phil for your
methodical, yet flexible approach to helping me heal, as well as the
insightful conversations during the treatments.

I was lucky enough to be referred to Phil by my GP and I am so
grateful that I was as his service is truely healing. I’d been
suffering from mystery immune dysregulation causing
inflammation that was reducing my ability to use my hand. After
the Western medical system was unable to diagnose my chronic
pain and intense swelling to any one thing, Phil looked at my
whole health and was able to work his art of yin yang needling on
me alongside holistic dietary and lifestyle advice. I have felt and
seen obvious miraculous improvements within two treatments, not
just in my presenting concern, but also in my whole constitution.
Phil is very wise, delivers his treatment in a safe environment and
is very respectful. I truly believe him to have hands, mind and a
heart of a true healer and I cannot express my gratitude to him
being on my road to recovery. Thank you Phil. I will be
recommending you to my friends, family and anyone I happen to
cross paths with who is expressing the need for support through yin
yang medicine.

I came in with cervical spine pain caused by a pinched cervical
nerve, which had been causing excruciating pain down my arm for
months. I had only been taking painkillers. Seeking help, I found
BioChi Clinic. After a thorough examination and medical history,
Phil made a diagnosis and suggested acupuncture. Everything was
thoroughly explained to me, and for the first time in my life, I
decided to undergo acupuncture. The treatment was performed
perfectly; the pain completely subsided after just two visits. For the
first time in many months, I could move normally without pain. I
repeated the treatment several more times, and the results are
surprisingly positive. I recommend this clinic. Phil provided me
with professional help and eliminated cervical pain and brachialgia
from my life. I recommend this clinic. Unfortunately, I live in
Poland and will be returning home soon; I will miss Phil's
treatments. Thank you

I went to Phil with a number of issues due to poor posture, work
stress and lower and upper back tightness from previous injuries
over the years. Phil knows his stuff of yin yang dry needling like a
fine art. After several visits, I now sleep better, my stress has
reduced, I nourish my body with better food options and my
degenerative pain has dramatically improved. Phil targeted my
problematic areas with a combination of massage, cupping and dry
needling which reduced overall inflammation in my whole body
dramatically. I definitely will be back for any adjustments when I
need them. Thanks Phil ☺️

Phil is incredible!I have visited his clinic for over 18 months as
needed. He is a genuine healer, the real deal. Phil has assisted me
with a variety of issues and each time I feel a lot of improvement
and in some stubborn areas after a couple of sessions complete
recovery. Migraine headaches, stamina, fatigue, sleep issues & pain
management.I have referred my children, parents & friends as
health issues presented in their bodies. Each & every one has
benefited greatly.I cannot recommend Phil highly enough.

I first went to see Phil about acupuncture for fatigue.He is very
caring & professional, & from when you first meet him you feel at
ease.I am having regular appts to help with the fatigue but also
working on other issues that were affecting my daily life.I have
more energy which is great so I can spend more time doing things
each day rather than having to rest as much.I would recommend
Phil for treatments to help with whatever health concerns you are
experiencing.

I came to see Phil as I am pregnant and struggling massively with
morning sickness symptoms. I had been struggling for over a
month to keep any food and water down, I had no energy and bad
back pain. Within 2 sessions he had me nearly back to my normal
self and after the first session my back pain completely
disappeared.He has such extensive knowledge of the body and by
the 2nd session had worked out the root cause for my "morning
sickness". He has fixed many more symptoms than I even realised I
had. My father passed away recently and we have had a few other
stressful things happen in life. He has worked on helping my body
deal with this aswell and the relief my body and mind feel is
amazing. Would highly recommend him. He really does know his
stuff

I saw Phil following knee replacement surgery. Due to
inflammation and fluid retention my ability to gain full range of
movement was inhibited. After approx 5 sessions with Phil, the
fluid retention is gone and movement is greatly improved. I no
longer need a walking aid, and my walking gets better each day.
Thanks Phil for your patience, wisdom and caring approach.

I have recently seen Phil for treatment of SEVERE depression and
anxiety. This has been an ongoing issue for several years. I
immediately felt results after the first session; and continued to
improve each treatment thereafter.I now feel much happier, less
stressed, and clearer in the head, since I can remember. That was
after approximately 10 treatments.I highly recommend Phil’s
service to anyone wishing to improve their situation; either
mentally and/or physically .Worth every cent!Paul Hentschel

I had very bad issues with pain in both arms and shoulders and
more distressing numbness and tingling pain in both hands .After
several visits to Phil he had managed to eliminate most of the
pain in these areas and also assist with relieving a lot of the
swelling which was caused by fluid retention. Overall I feel very
good but the hand issue is still there so my chiropractor arranged
to have an x-ray of my neck and found that I have degenerative
issues that will need special treatment that acupuncture couldn’t
fix .In saying all that I am glad I met Phil as I do feel great and
wouldn’t hesitate to so him with any further issues.Thanks Phil .

I initially saw Phil for severe carpal tunnel syndrome. My wrists
were swollen and much pain in hands also from right shoulder
down through arm. His treatment was immediate in reducing
inflammation, swelling and pain. I have continued treatment and
have never flared up again to point of first session. My job is
literally hands on extremely physical so I have been able to
maintain full time work cleaning. Additionally I have now had
treatments for sleep, hot flushes, back pain, hip issues, shoulder
pain and inflammation, stress, emotional pain and burn out. I
keep going back because treatments always work!! If I wasn't
working on average 40 hours a week cleaning I think my carpal
tunnel and arthritis would no longer require treatment. I have 2
people now seeing Phil for migraines, headaches, sleep,
menstrual issues, muscle stiffness, panic attacks, PTSD and
anxiety. I have also had scar bridging work done. Finding Phil
for me has been a game changer to my health and wellbeing.
Thank you so much Phil!!

Phil has not only helped balance my hormones, greatly
improving symptoms relating to my menstrual cycle (I can't
express my relief enough for this alone!), but has also restored
energy and provided guidance to improve my health overall. I
live in Brisbane and make trips up specifically to see him. I have
recommended Phil to my boyfriend, father, mother, aunt and best
friend for various health issues and for each person he tailored
treatment to their needs. My Dad, 6 months on keeps talking
about how Phil got rid of his cough where modern day medicine
couldn't. My boyfriend's mother and sister are now planning on
making the trip up from Brisbane to see him after they saw how
Phil helped my boyfriend's health. I promise you, see Phil once
and you will be a patient for life.

recommend Phil for his Ying Yang needling.

Phil has been treating my Long COVID symptoms for the past 2
months, and helping me get back to my usual energetic self
again.Symptoms have included brain fog, dizziness, a dry cough,
and fatigue. My body is responding well to the targeted
treatment Phil is providing, and I’m delighted to say the brain
fog and dizziness have gone. We’re now working on increasing
energy levels and clearing up the cough (which developed a lot
later than the other issues)Long COVID is no fun. It’s had a big
effect on me for the last 10 weeks and I wouldn’t be recovering
as well without Phil’s expert advice and treatment. I’m pleased
to say the worst is behind me thanks to Phil.

With very little help from my doctor, I decided to try
acupuncture for my sudden onset fatigue, digestion issues and
general lack of energy. I found Phil and after just four sessions, I
was no longer falling asleep on the couch each day at midday, I
had an appetite again and all the other unusual symptoms I'd
been suffering had subsided as well. I really appreciated Phil's
holistic approach and unlike visits to the GP, I wasn't made to
feel silly by saying 'I just feel really run down and tired'. I would
recommend Phil to anyone looking for a new approach to health
and medicine. He is calm, listens intently and designs a
treatment specific to your needs. Highly recommend!

Phil is so incredible at what he does. He is very kind, caring and
genuine and really listens to what you are saying in relation to
your pain but also offers extremely great advice.I was a little bit
skeptical that this would work for me with my Occipital
Neuralgia as I have seen so many different treating practitioners
but I have had some really incredible results with him.I have
gone from daily pain killers to 1-2 per week with the ongoing
treatment that Phil has provided to me plus the daily changes I
have been making in my life.I would recommend Phil to anyone,
he really is a magical worker! :)

My name is Joan Graham. Ryan Stevens is my grandson and he
set my tablet up for me.I have been seeing Phil for a few months.
I went to him after a friend and her family had so much success
in giving up smoking.I have quite a few medical conditions such
as lung disease, kidney disease, hiatus hernia to name a few. At
fhe time I had a double lung infection and was faced with the
prospect of hospitalisation. After a few treatments the time came
to see my Specialisr again and to my delight he was pleased with
me and didn't want to see me for four months. I amcontinuing to
be treated by him for my other issuefeeling better than I have in
years. My stomach problem is alot better with no hernia pain and
even my mobility has improved. I should say that I am 77years
oldI would recommend Phil to anyone because he does his
research before he doess his treatment and I feel assured that he
knows exactly how to correctly treat each problem.

I have had the stop smoking treatment done by Phil..it is
amazing how it works..I was very sceptical about this and had it
done anyway. I had no cravings instantly and breezed through it .
It has been 3 mths now my blood pressure has dropped and my
dr has dropped half of my medication. Thank you so much Phil
for helping people with what you do. My son and his wife also
went to see Phil with emotional anxieties..he worked on both of
them and then also had the no smoking treatment and are now

5 stars isn't enough....Phil has changed my life.I was diagnosed
with a complicated neurological disorder only 8 months ago. At
first it affected my ability to walk, talk and function on a day to
day bases, I started having seizures and had to stop working. By
the time I had finally sought out the BioChi Clinic I had seen
every Neuro surgeon, Dr and Neurologist on the coast who
couldn't help and wanted to put me on every drug they had
available... which I didn't accept.Although I had managed to start
functioning again (being able to walk talk ect) prior to arriving to
Phil I was still dealing with daily aches and pains, dizziness,
dissociation, seizures and anxiety.Phil's approach is thorough...
He asked me more questions in the first hour session than all of
the Dr's I'd seen in the last 8 months. He made me feel heard for
the first time, like I wasn't just another patient! I had someone
who was invested in me and my situation.I've now been seeing
Phil for the past few months and he has completely changed my
life. I can function on a much higher level and my pain is
manageable... sometimes even non existent. Not to mention my
weekly seizures have now become a monthly event, if that.Phil
is incredibly professional but not clinical and has a great way of
putting you at ease and making you feel very comfortable in his
care.I honestly couldn't speak higher of him or his work, and I
consider him a friend for life for what he has done for me. I
appreciate you patience, kindness and care more than you could
know, so thank you Phil.

My daughter and I both had fabulous results after treatments
with Phil. He is a true gentleman and treated my 16 year old
daughter who was a bit nervous with complete respect and
gentleness. After no improvement from treatment at hospital in
desperation I took her to Phil. She immediately felt improved
after her first treatment and with further treatments recovered
quickly. As for myself I was suffering from anxiety and stress
and other illnesses. The treatment was effective and he was full
of practical advice which helped immensely. Being without a
spleen I felt he understood the way my body works which I have
never felt from any practitioner before. It was such a relief to me.
