First session today with Mike - so far treatment has addressed my immediate issues. He’s used a number of great techniques and was able to pin point my key ailments today with ease. Even highlighted issues I forgot I had but knew I had to address. Incredibly professional and made me feel comfortable. I have a rough outline for treatment over the next few weeks; will see how we go.

Had mild recurrent wrist extensor strains and thought I’d come here for soft tissue massage/shockwave therapy as a future preventative measure given their website strongly advertises proficiency in managing wrist RSI.
Saw “Dr” Damien Brown and clarified clearly that I was not wanting joint manipulation (but happy for other therapies like active release), and he confirmed he wouldn’t do joint adjustments prior to starting therapy session
Subsequently did a ridiculous amount of flex ion/extension/radial/ulnar deviation movements of both wrists and pressed very hard on my carpal bones to

Can’t recommend Mike Badke enough. I’d been suffering from painful and persistent tennis elbow for months. Had tried everything: isometric exercises, Theraband’s flexbar, anti-inflammatories, and physiotherapy. Within three sessions, Mike had eliminated all symptoms.I can now properly grip and lift weights again.

I had my first treatment with Dr Mike Badke yesterday for neck & shoulder pain, which I have put up with for over a year. I had seen Mike 14 years ago for lower back pain which he magically fixed. Returning to Sydney from Melbourne I was thrilled to find Mike is still practicing in the CBD. Mike took a thorough assessment and performed active muscle technique then some"adjustments" - which I refer to as cracks. Mike asked me to take notice of how I feel in the coming days. In the hours that followed my neck and shoulder felt as if they were relaxing and I felt small adjustments as I moved my neck

I was running late to my appointment and so my 40 minute session should only have been 30 minutes. Dr Damian was kind enough to still give me the full 40 minutes.
Damian took thorough notes on my suspected issue (plantar fasciitis) to determine the cause of my pain and the right treatment. He took time to explain the condition in detail and I didn't feel rushed at all.
He made a full assessment before commencing some treatment, massage & stretching and use of shock-wave treatment. The treatment was initially excruciating and he was sensitive to adjust his technique and allow resting to help me

I came to Dr. Mike Badke after a combination of muscle problems resulted in being unable to follow my normal sports routine and often having problems with daily life. He methodically addressed each and every problem with a combination of approaches which combined his chiropractic training, Active Release methods and shock wave therapy. Mike’s extensive experience in solving muscle and joint injuries was very apparent and effective in getting me back in top shape. I am back to rowing 60km a week and ease in daily life. The offices of Active Muscle & Spine run efficiently and effectively – and

A True Craftsmen, Mike is the Real Deal! Have been to a few different chiropractors in my time, some better than others. What sets Mike apart from the rest is his attention to detail, his frighteningly acute awareness of the human body and the fact that he cares about restoring you back to optimum functionality. So impressed that I've booked back in for 2 more sessions next week, which I'm normally apprehensive about due to costs, but when you find someone this good, it leaves me no choice. After all, months or years of improper movement or injury can't be fixed in 1 session. I've found the One
