Thanks Andrew for treating my frozen shoulder. I had persisting pains and very limited range for about 9 months and had treatments from multiple physiotherapists, remedial therapists, chiropractors and took multiple steroid injections but still feeling like not getting enough anywhere before going to Melbourne Sports Physiotherapy.
Andrew Lay was attentive to the full history and diagnosed my situation giving me a very effective treatment/rehab plan. I saw improvements between each visit and he adjusted the plan based on my progress. Now I feel like have recovered 80-90% over a couple of months

Excellent physio delivered by Andrew Lay. I broke my leg in May and he helped me get back to my normal life. He was very thorough about making sure that I didn't overstress my mending bone and that my muscles recovered as quickly as they could.
He also very patiently explained every step of the regime and what the purpose of the exercises was. It was helpful to know all the different steps my leg was going through and to have solid metric proof of the improvement from start to end.
I highly recommend him if you're looking for a physiotherapist who'll be professional and effective!

Highly recommend Andrew Lay if you’re looking for a physio that will strive to get you back on your feet and just as strong in both legs after one leg has been injured. He explains all exercises very clearly, walks you through them patiently and is always open to emails if you need more info plus the PhysiApp they use to share exercises is brilliant.

I found Melbourne sports physio clinic when hunting for someone who specializes in bursitis of the hip. I had been to another physio without respite. Andrew, was quick to read the xrays and report, run his own tests and proceeded gently but specifically towards healing. Within 5 sessions of exercises and shockwave treatment I am now 95% and no longer need to attend. I am so grateful for Andrew's expertise and professionalism. I might add that from the moment I rang to make an appointment I have experienced professionalism and warmth from the individuals working at this clinic. Well done!!

I pulled up with a sore achilles mid training block for Melbourne marathon. Andrew Lay was quick to accurately diagnose the issue and get me started on a strength and rehab program with barely any time lost from running. 1 week later and I was running with 0/10 pain and back to full training. Highly recommend

Recently I developed an extreme case of sciatica, to the point where I couldn't think about much else as the pain was constant and intense. I realised I had to do something so I randomly selected a physio in my local area. Boy, am I glad I picked these guys! The regime Andrew put me on addressed my injury and I was fully healed soon after. From our very first consultation I knew I had done the right thing, and I was in very competent hands.

This was my first experience with a sports physio. I decided to visit this place because I had injured my knee (during running), and they have a knee injury specialist.
Andrew Lay was my sports physio. He is efficient, thorough and thoughtful. Andrew gave me a suitable treatment plan and helped me throughout my recovery. His treatment has helped me to get back on my feet quickly.
The clinic is clean and well maintained. The receptionist is intelligent, fast, and helpful.
I highly recommend Melbourne Sports Physio in Blackburn and strongly recommend Andrew as the sports physio.

I went to the clinic due to hip, groin, and knee pain during and especially after running, which was only getting worse. Andrew Lay was helpful and listened to my goals and took the time to understand my individual circumstances. The clinic is well managed and efficiently run. Having reminders of upcoming appointments and calendar invites was helpful. I would recommend them without hesitation.

A few weeks ago I woke up with sharp pain in my shoulder that was not going away so I decided to look for professional help. Melbourne Sports Physiotherapy Blackburn were able to see me on the same day as the booking. The location was easy to find with good off street parking. My therapist - Andrew was professional, compassionate and very approachable - he answered all my questions and was able to diagnose me and provide a bit of almost instant pain relief. I left with set of exercises to perform at home. My treatment took about 6 weeks.
The clinic met all covid safety standards - ample sitting
