Back to school 🔙📚

Last week we were fortunate enough to head back to uni and refresh our anatomy knowledge at @latrobeuni in the anatomy labs.

Thank you to the Latrobe School of Physiotherapy for inviting us!

Last week our team celebrated another great year.

Whilst Melbourne’s weather had its own plans, we were still determined to keep with the theme of ‘Italian Summer’. We let our hair down to master the art of mixology 🍸🍹followed by an Italian feast.

Friday morning Run Club with the team. Practicing what we preach!

Staying stronger, healthier and happier.

This time last week, our team was nervously completing their final preparations for @melbmara .

Congratulations to our physiotherapists and ME community who ran on the day.

Dilen and Michael completed their first marathons. Abbey and Lizzie smashed out their first half.

“A terrific experience. Presented with neck pain and Jason sorted it out very quickly. Great beside manner and physio skills”

“Jason fitted me in last minute and was awesome. Highly recommend”

“Got excellent attention from Elizabeth Brennan to map out a plan for recovering a couple of broken ribs so I can return to my fitness activities.”

“Excellent support, with an excersise program that helped me overcome a painful condition.”

“I have been seeing Jason since he took over the business. He is fantastic and is always very knowledgeable when it comes to all my issues”

“I have attended ME Physio for many years. I suffer from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) and require specialised physio. Dilen is proficient in using HR monitoring and pacing to gently build strength while avoiding Post Exertional Malaise (PEM). Dilen's understanding of ME/CFS allows me to participate in physio safely.
The staff are warm, friendly and highly professional.”

“ME Physio has been our go to physio for over a decade. They helped me fix a chronic back condition and more recently have been helping my wife with her mobility. A friendly team who listen to patient needs. Strongly recommend ME Physio.”

“A great team of friendly, professional physios and great strength classes for seniors to keep us fit and active.”

“I've been a client of MEP for 6 years now and would recommend them very highly. As a 50 year old social cricketer with a history of soft tissue injuries, they've looked after me superbly and created a personalized program that got me through the last season injury-free and with a higher workload than previous seasons (playing most Saturdays and Sundays).”

“Abbey was absolutely incredible! I attended my roommates session and we both blown away at how well Abbey explained everything to both of us, and how lovely she was. The receptionist was also very kind. All round a fantastic experience, recommend 100%”
