Thanks Andrew for treating my frozen shoulder. I had persisting pains and very limited range for about 9 months and had treatments from multiple physiotherapists, remedial therapists, chiropractors and took multiple steroid injections but still feeling like not getting enough anywhere before going to Melbourne Sports Physiotherapy.
Andrew Lay was attentive to the full history and diagnosed my situation giving me a very effective treatment/rehab plan. I saw improvements between each visit and he adjusted the plan based on my progress. Now I feel like have recovered 80-90% over a couple of months

Excellent physio delivered by Andrew Lay. I broke my leg in May and he helped me get back to my normal life. He was very thorough about making sure that I didn't overstress my mending bone and that my muscles recovered as quickly as they could. He also very patiently explained every step of the regime and what the purpose of the exercises was. It was helpful to know all the different steps my leg was going through and to have solid metric proof of the improvement from start to end. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a physiotherapist who'll be professional and effective!

Highly recommend Andrew Lay if youre looking for a physio that will strive to get you back on your feet and just as strong in both legs after one leg has been injured. He explains all exercises very clearly, walks you through them patiently and is always open to emails if you need more info plus the PhysiApp they use to share exercises is brilliant.

I found Melbourne sports physio clinic when hunting for someone who specializes in bursitis of the hip. I had been to another physio without respite. Andrew, was quick to read the xrays and report, run his own tests and proceeded gently but specifically towards healing. Within 5 sessions of exercises and shockwave treatment I am now 95% and no longer need to attend. I am so grateful for Andrew's expertise and professionalism. I might add that from the moment I rang to make an appointment I have experienced professionalism and warmth from the individuals working at this clinic. Well done!!
