I've been to many physios in my life, but none of them have really been able to understand the underlying condition and relieve pain like Kristian has. His expertise and enthusiasm to see me get stronger and improve makes me look forward to every visit.
For well over a year I've had constant thoracic pain from a mixture of issues (sticky ribs, weak lats, poor posture, general muscle weakness) and KW has pretty much lifted that pain away in just a few sessions.
In fact, it's actually quite remarkable what the team can get done in just one hour – chat, release, train, high five! It's physio

New to the area and suffering a sports injury I wasn’t sure where to go for treatment and advice. Stumbled upon the sports clinic and glad I did. Dave Fahey helped me all the way to recovery and back to playing the sport I love the best - hockey. His professionalism and program got me ready to go again. Highly recommend the team. Thanks guys.

I have been most impressed by the professionalism of the staff of this small clinic, that extends from the reception/office staff to the physio team. It is unlike any other sports clinics I have been involved with in its support for maintaining physical activity especially for 'elders' llke me. Some such establishments seem to focus on 'the body beautiful' and can be discomfiting for others. I can only commend Dave and the other therapists for their skills, warmth, support and humour. Thankyou!

I've had a bad shoulder for over 3 years, and I was dubious about seeing a physio. I'd no idea how much it would be able to help, and thought I might be told I'd need to keep coming back week after week for the next 6-12 months. I had 4 sessions with Ryan over the course of 2 months, by which point he'd helped me strengthen the necessary muscles, loosened the tightness and pain that I had in it, and left me with the knowledge I need to make sure it stays uninjured. Highly recommend.

I visited the sports clinic on multiple occasions to fix various back problems due to lifting different objects at work. This was happening far to often for my liking and I asked if there was any proactive things I can be doing to prevent these issues reoccurring in the future. Ryan mapped out a program for me and each week over a 6 week period we gradually re shaped my body posture to take some load off my back. My back and body in general now feels as good as it has in over 5 years.
The team provide a huge amount of knowledge and are super fun and energetic people to be around, with impressive

I was suffering from bad lower back pain. Dave Fahey took care of me and he's an absolute legend! He's super friendly and smart; he explained the causes, treatment plan and prevention tips for my pain so well. He walked me through every step of the process and after a few sessions with him I was back in the gym good as new. Just brilliant!

I first met Dave at The Sports Clinic, who treated me and helped rehab my hip post surgery. Starting from scratch, Dave tailored a specific rehab program that I could make work, without the use of a gym. He was able to keep me motivated throughout the whole process, which I've really struggled with in the past. Not only was Dave constantly checking in with me multiple times per week, but he also created an online weights/running program for me, with detailed exercises and sessions to keep me accountable and provide any feedback on how I was feeling.
I'm now 4 months post surgery and back training

I’ve seen the team here for a couple of different sporting injuries and they’ve really been a great help. Ryan was able to fix some back problems I’ve had for over ten years that multiple others couldn’t. The staff are all friends and make you feel comfortable and welcome, definitely recommend coming here.

I couldn’t have asked for more from my experiences with the Sport Clinic of Melbourne. I have now been treated by Ryan, Ross & Dave, not only have they all treated my sports injuries but they have also educated me on my specific injury as well as left me with a strength program for future injury prevention. I would recommend to anyone looking for help.
