Testimonials

After surgery I attended nine conventional physiotherapy sessions to try and relieve my chronic back pain, which only provided very temporary relief each time. I then started looking for alternative treatments to manage my pain.
A colleague at work suggested Melbourne Holistic Physiotherapy as an option and I was lucky enough to get an appointment. I was surprised with the comprehensive assessment that Vanessa did on my first visit and also that I did not leave there all bruised and sore from the treatment.
I was initially a little sceptic that this might not work, because compared to my experiences from other physiotherapy and myotherapy, the treatments was much less forceful.
But after only 3 sessions with Vanessa, I was able to stop taking my daily slow release Tramadol tablets and only had to manage ad hoc pain with Panadeine Forte. Now I no longer need Endone to sleep through the night and was able to return to work fulltime after only 4 treatments!
I will continue to see Vanessa as needed or when my SI joint acts up again, but I am no longer depressed, taking pain medication or struggling to sleep.
I thought I would never be able play games with my three boys or participate in sport again, but I am already running short distances and trying to rebuild my base fitness.
I am grateful to Sam for recommending Melbourne Holistic Physiotherapy.

Vanessa’s physio service and superior knowledge are amazing, really different to any physio I have experienced. Apart from her knowledge I think Vanessa has a high sense of natural ability or intuition and can identify issues by her own observations and analysis and then is able to treat the issue. I feel much better when I have been treated and results are apparent as I have greater mobility and less or no pain. She has also given me simple and effective exercises to work to prevent issues .
