Stumbled across Melissa after a dodgy shoulder pulled. She tailored a simple set of physio-style exercises right here in Wonthaggi, and I could feel the difference within a week. Great to have a local pro who checks range of motion and keeps things practical.
Very impressed with Melissa's approach. She did thorough muscle strength assessments and explained each step in plain language. Posture evaluation was eye-opening, and I’ve started integrating the moves at work in our Cowes office.
I came in with tight hips and left with a clear plan and confidence. The exercises were easy to follow, and the feedback on my range of motion was spot on. Friendly, no-fuss service on Watt Street.
Melissa’s guidance felt personalised from the first session. The muscle strength assessments made me realise where I needed to push, and the postural tweaks have made a big difference when I’m gardening in Bass Coast.
Relieved to find a local kinesiologist who explains things clearly. The movement sessions at 79 Watt Street are practical and have helped my rehab after a knee issue. Highly recommend for anyone in Wonthaggi.
Very grateful for Melissa’s patient, thorough approach. The range of motion testing was comprehensive, yet easy to understand, and the follow-up exercises have kept me active at home and on the golf course.
I appreciated the practical focus and the way Melissa explained the why behind each exercise. The posture evaluations were especially useful for my back pain from long drives. A solid local option in Wonthaggi.
