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.

Last Sunday, our team headed down to see our own Matt Warren win a premiership in the VAFA Premier Men’s Competition.

Last week our team dedicated a full day to professional development and team building. At ME Physio we pride ourselves on collaboration to put you at the centre of everything we do.

Our team covered the latest treatments for back pain, financial well-being and finished off the day with salsa dancing.

Many thanks to our guests including James Schomburgk from @the2ndvisitphysio , Financial Planners Tony Vikram & Cameron Bishop and the @salsafoundation

At ME Physio, our focus is on helping you get stronger so that you can keep doing the things you love.

For Tony and Joan, healthier and stronger is being able to navigate the iconic Coast to Coast Walk in the UK!

We recently had the pleasure of hosting Elise Bujor from Women’s & Men’s Health Physiotherapy to discuss women’s health issues across the lifespan.

Our team pride themselves on staying up to date to ensure you’re able to stay healthier, happier and stronger.

Huge milestones over the past few weeks with both Tom and Jude from @delasallefc doing their first bit of running in their rehab.

Tom is on the return from an ankle dislocation whilst Jude is putting in the hard work following a knee reconstruction.

Last week our team enjoyed some friendly rivalry at the footy.

With finals around the corner, some of our team can now safely make holidays plans for September.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting the podiatry team from @sespodiatry.

Our physiotherapists Michael and Abbey presented on rehabilitation following Achilles surgical repair and ankle surgery.

Last weekend some of our team got together to complete the 10 km run @runmelbourne. There was no finish line picture as some were keen to run another 15 km!

Whilst running wasn’t for some - brunch was well received by everyone.

“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%”

“I am extremely pleased with the service and care from all the team at Malvern East Physiotherapy. From the Physios to the receptionist. I have used both the Physiotherapy and the Pilates. I am moving better than I have in quite a while. I throughly recommend them.”

“Had multiple sessions following a basketball shoulder injury, was beyond satisfied with the experience as I was able to return back to full health in an even shorter time frame than was first expected.”

“Excellent people who provide solutions that work”
