Approximatley 8 months ago i suffered a shattered plateau tibia. 13 screws a steal plate and intence phyisiotherapy was now my life.
I was later diagnosed with Complex regional pain syndrome, a Nuero mild to severe random pain to my legs.
Months of pain killers helped, but wasnt my answer for a long term recovery. I reached out to Sports Optimum… after reading reviews and recomendations.
My initial booking was for remedial massage, Marlon identified my concerns and we completed a breathwork session. Never in a million years would i have believed the intence , emotional, uplifting and relieving

Marlon is from far the best Personal Trainer!
He is very professional, he takes the time to listen to you and explain what is the best for you and why.
I have been injured in a car accident a few years ago and was unable to do any kind of sport after the incident. Too bad for me because I was training myself to run the next Melbourne Marathon. I have tried for many years different things to get better such as Osteopathy, Yoga, Pilate, Swimming..etc but my low back and all my left side of my body (arm/leg) were sore. I put on weight and started to feel uncomfortable with my own body.

After looking for someone to treat my neck/jaw problems in Melbourne for 6 months I'm so glad I came across Marlon, he's very knowledgeable and was able to instantly fix my neck and jaw. My jaw in particular hasn't been this good in years, and I will definitely be coming back!

Marlon, Thank you, thank you for the treatment yesterday. I had woken up two mornings running with very sore neck and lower back pain. After making an appointment at short notice you treated the neck problem, and the lower back pain as well and I walked out a new man. After several treatments over the last 12 months I am impressed by the massage treament you provide and will be back.

It had been at least six months since my last massage, so I was a bit locked-up. Marlon's firm but precise pressure brought me relief in just one session. Thank you Marlon.

After 3 years of struggling with lower back pain Marlon is the first person to really help me. He educated me more then any doctor, physiotherapist, chiropractors could. He has given me the tools to manage my… pain and understand how the mechanics of the back work to prevent further injury. Would highly recommend him. Cheers Marlon.

I have had regular sessions with Marlon for over a year - always very professional, knowledgeable and focussed. Marlon has a real knack for matching his remedial massage and personal training to deal with specific pain or injury, or to meet specific goals - and with amazing results!

Marlon is extremely professional and very focused on delivery great results. His approach to helping me with my leg injury was brilliant - I couldn't recommend him to others highly enough! I know I will return to him again when I next fall victim to injury from sports.

I did a series of personal training sessions with Marlon and during this time I lost weight, gained strength and had so much more energy! Marlon is extremely professional and tailored a training session to my individual needs. In addition to the training I have had a few massages which have assisted with back and neck pain and helped with my sleep. I recommend Marlon's training and massage for anyone who is looking to improve their overall health and well-being.
