Exercise Thought
Sam obtained his undergraduate physiotherapy degree at Monash University and wrote an Honour thesis on use of isometric exercise for treating tendon pain. In 2020, Sam completed postgraduate studies that place him in the top 8% of Australian physiotherapists. Sam's minor thesis in this postgraduate degree studies the effect that a physiotherapist's words have on a person's pain and performance.

Sam teaches physiotherapy students through Monash University, The University of Melbourne, La Trobe University and Swinburne University of Technology. Sam is the Vice-President of two councils for the Australian Physiotherapy Associations - the Victorian Branch Council and the Victorian Business Council.

We sought physio after my 12 year old daughter dislocated her knee cap and required surgery. I can’t thank Louis enough for all his expert advice, encouragement and knowledge. Right from the beginning he listened to her, checked in with her constantly on how she felt, gave her gentle encouragement to get her to test her limits without pushing. I must admit I was concerned around the reputation of some physio’s who have a bit of a “crack the whip” attitude but my concerns where laid to rest after our first consultation with Louis. My daughter actually looked forward to her appointments to

After getting a bad ankle sprain, I reached out to Sam and the team for help. Before my first appointment I couldn't walk and I was on crutches. By the end of the session...I no longer needed them!
Ater a few weeks of easy at home exercises and a few massages, Sam and Lewis were able to get my ankle back to its full strength, ready for sport to resume! Thanks a heap guys!

Professional and friendly service as well as a large wealth of knowledge. I've always left with a plan that's worked to tackle whatever injury or issue I have gone in with. They always follow up to see how things are going too. With an ankle rehab about to begin fo me, how good that Hydro is offered at Ringwood. I cannot recommend the team at Exercise Thought highly enough!!

I went to see Lewis at Exercise Thought Physiotherapy after a workplace RSI injury. Lewis gave me a far more detailed and useful diagnosis of the problem than the GP that I’d seen about it previously, and then gave me a series of exercises to help the injury get strong and work fit again. He and the other staff were always super friendly and considerate, and they really know their stuff. I would recommend them highly.

Being a Physiotherapy student at Exercise Thought provided me with a vast amount of invaluable experience, giving me the knowledge and confidence that is critical in becoming a better physiotherapist. The physiotherapists and staff at Exercise Thought are very experienced, friendly and supportive. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a student here, and I aspire to be an excellent physiotherapist as Sam, Lewis and Rachel are.

Lewis took the time to find the root cause of back and hip pain. Always providing exercises and stretches that would be beneficial to recovery. Always able to get an appointment when needed with their extended hours and friendly mannerisms from staff when making or changing bookings.
