The QUALITY of treatment service ULTIMATELY POOR & NO COMMUNICATION from manager upon email request. This Clinic has diverted from the importance of consumer's well-being to just a quantity for their finance transaction.
Booked with Giordan for 90min remedial massage this week 2022.I did NOT received the remedial massage treatment & definitely NOT 90 mins of service. Instead of performing remedial massage as booked, Giordan was ignorantly dismiss the acute presentation & instead focused on an ankle injury that occurred 20 years ago. A
Arrival to clinic with muscle tension, walk out the same ailment

Got a remedial massage with Grace after having a tight neck and shoulders for a weeks. The service I received was incredible. Grace is friendly, professional and very good at her job. I will definitely be back here!

Dragged my over trained sore body down there today and saw Guste. It was my first visit. Guste was excellent! Lovely to deal with and did a fantastic job of easing my aches and pains and putting me back in balance. I have been to various places over the years for the same treatment and would put todays experience in the top tier of my experiences. Highly recommend and will definitely be back regularly now that I have found this place!

I couldn't recommend Melbourne Combined Natural Therapies enough to my family and friends, especially Charlton! He is fantastic with remedial massage and dry needling. My shoulder was all sorted after just attending to just 1 single dry needling session. High recommended!
