Pure Physio Collins St

Fantastic experience: Jacob is highly professional and knowledgeable physio. He has helped me significantly with a lower back injury which has seen me from struggling to walk through to running again. Jacob has a hands on approach, adopts useful technology for use at home (including exercise videos), and has access to a modern gym for his treatment. Highly recommend Jacob for physio needs.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Jacob. As it was my first time booking a physiotherapy session, he made me feel very welcome and acted professionally throughout. He thoroughly assessed my knee condition and clearly explained a treatment plan. Each time I return, I see improvement in my knee, thanks to the detailed program he created.

Fantastic experience: I was suffering with a sports related injury and Jacob was really great in helping me to determine the right stretches for my particular injury and to follow a plan towards my full recovery. The phone app provided by PurePhysio to aid in demonstration and consultation was a great help over the recovery period too! Recommend!

Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Jacob Stefanoff enough for treating my running injury and teaching me to change my running technique to prevent future injury. I was devestated when injury preventented me from running 12 weeks before my marathon. Jacob helped me to go from limping around with achilles pain, to running a PB at the Athens marathon!

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Jacob at the pure physio . From the moment I walked in, he was welcoming, professional, and attentive to my concerns. He took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explained the treatment plan in detail, making sure I understood every step. His hands-on approach and targeted exercises have significantly improved my mobility and reduced my pain. I really appreciated his personalized care and his commitment to helping me recover fully. Highly recommend Jacob for anyone in need of a knowledgeable and caring physiotherapist!

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Chee & the Pure Physio team enough! Really easy to book an appointment and follow ups, and Chee is really knowledgeable, effective and cares about her patients.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Andrew enough. Having shin issues when running for over a year and near to giving up, Andrew helped me through recovery and I managed to run the Melbourne half marathon. Excellent service and a genuine care to help. Thankyou!

Fantastic experience: Jacob Stefanoff efficiently diagnosed an over-striding issue causing injuries while running, and provided advice, exercises and ongoing motivation to get things back on track. Outcome: successful completion of Melbourne Marathon 10K...

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Jacob over the last month with an invoking shoulder issue I’ve been having while training. At first it was just a niggle that I ignored until over time the pain increased and finally forced me to go stop ignoring it and go to the physio. Jacob quickly diagnosed the issue(s) and we got to work on adding exercises and adjusting some of my current routine, still allowing me to train regularly. Over the past 2 weeks now my shoulder has been pain free and we’ve been working on increasing weights again and I’m really enjoying training again. Thank you for all your help Jacob and Pure Physio for all your help, cannot recommend these guys enough.

Fantastic experience: I've had shoulder pain preventing me from exercising for a year until I received help from Jacob Stefanoff from at Pure Physio. He was able to find the root cause of my pain and guide me through the recovery process in a stepwise manner. Finally, I am able to get back into exercising and doing what I love, couldn't recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: Jacob has been instrumental in helping to relieve my hip flexor pain and increase my glute strength, not only with our sessions but also with easy to follow exercises that I am able to do at home. Because of my rehab with him, activities that used to flare up my hip pain, no longer do so. I'm very grateful for his help. Danielle

Fantastic experience: Life is unpredictable! I am very grateful to have Jacob who helps me to get through the difficult times with my work related injuries. I have finally achieve my goal and get back to my pre injury duties. I would like to express my gratitude to him for being there for me with his support, patient and care in Physiotherapy sessions! Well done Jacob ! You're my star, my super Star

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Jacob at Pure Physio enough! I started seeing him a few weeks ago for some issues with my glute muscles, and the results have been amazing. From the very first session, I noticed a significant improvement, which really boosted my confidence in the treatment. Jacob has a great way of explaining things — he breaks down complex concepts so they’re easy to understand, and he always takes the time to ensure I’m comfortable with each exercise or treatment method. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and approachable physiotherapist who delivers real results, Jacob at Pure Physio is definitely the one to see!

Fantastic experience: I've had shoulder and lower back pain for quite a while due to an injury. Thanks to Jacob, the pain has significantly decreased and is much less noticeable. What I appreciate about the sessions is that not only do they help reduce the pain, but Jacob also takes the time to explain the muscles involved and how to get them back on track. It's been great.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with both Andrew and Jacob for a few months now, as I set myself the goal of running a half marathon later this year. The team have been amazing at correcting my form, giving me exercises to build my strength, and just generally super positive and encouraging in helping me progress to pain-free, long distance running. Jayke is a superb remedial massage therapist too!

Fantastic experience: I have been having treatment with Jacob for a few months now & every session has been full of positive encouragement, different exercise suggestions to suit my recovery & plenty of laughs :) Jacob is an amazing listener who methodically uses your injury description & his wealth of expertise to provide the best recovery outcome. I would highly recommend Jacob because he makes you feel at ease, is extremely professional & is genuinely committed to helping you return to your peak physical condition. I am also always warmly greeted by Jo on reception & love catching up with her prior to my appt with Jacob!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Jacob over the course of a couple years and have always been impressed with his attention to detail, assessment, and demeanour. I play high level soccer and he is incredible for athletes looking to improve their game, or assess their injuries. His level of expertise has always stood out to me as I have seen quite a few physios in my time. He takes the time to clearly explain your injury, and the steps to take following to strengthen. I always feel like I am in safe hands and with his guidance, my health is prioritized. Thank you Jacob!

Fantastic experience: I visited Pure Physio in my attempt to have a gait analysis for running done. Have been into running for sometime and was working on going from 5k to 10k. However I faced recurring injuries on right ankle and knee which blocked me from making progress and getting stuck in run-recovery cycle. Jacob was thorough with analysis, understanding the history of my run, injuries, attempts to recover. He assessed my run on treadmill and could straight up identify the potential rootcause. With the app he used to record on ipad he was able to illustrate and point out the areas I should be improving on. Jacob then assessed legs, feet, hip to pickup if any muscle tightness could be contributing to the recurring knee pain. I returned home with a set of well planned exercises and guide on what running form improvements i need to bring along . Extremely happy, how just 1 assessment changed my way of actively focusing on improving my form which has been a game changer for me. I am Now able to run 10k with a better form and keep pestering injuries at bay. Full credit to Pure Physio and Jacob specially for working closely with me and helping me pursue my love for running. Next i will be working with him to improve my pace and run stronger - faster.

Fantastic experience: just got my corns cut out after years of living with them 110% recommend you check em out for your podiatry/physio needs. fast, friendly, knowledgeable and affordable services

Fantastic experience: I went to PurePhysio in the lead up to running the 2013 Melbourne Marathon to treat a small calf strain and I got really great advice and treatment. Not only did they treat my injury but they helped me with techniques and exercises to avoid a recurrence of the injury. Thanks to the team at PurePhysio I am a better and healthier runner than I was before my first visit.

Fantastic experience: I have been to see team at Pure Physio for multiple injuries over the past 2 years. First I started with Andrew. He was really good and professional, talked through my injury and helped me understand what was happening. After some massage therapy and exercises I was back to fitness. Unfortunately I am clumsy so had to come back. I then met Roy and realised that he was the physio for me. He is a fun and friendly character, that loves to tease me about my phobia of needles (I will let him dry needle me one day). Roy has helped me through a few minor and more serious strains. Telling me straight up whether it would be smart and possible to continue playing/training or actually take time off to heal properly. After one of my injuries, I was introduced to Cara for some rehab work. Cara helped me to correct some flaws and re-engage the correct muscle groups all the while being friendly and helpful. The follow up of all the staff I have met has been amazing. And the friendly front desk team always greets you with a smile.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend these guys. They helped me to recover from a back injury (I couldn't move) to recover and build up my strength up so that I could compete at the Australian National Rowing Championships. Both physiotherapists were incredibly professional and patient and tailored a program for both my body and my sport.

Fantastic experience: Thanks very much much to Hugh at Pure Physio in Collins Street. A really positive experience with a very modern, professional & knowledgable team.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Pure Physio on a recommendation from a work colleague due to some knee pain I encountered while training for a marathon. Initially dealt with Andrew but also had appointments with Rian. Both provide a friendly, professional and helpful service and I really appreciated their efforts, would definitely return should I injure myself again but here's hoping not!

Fantastic experience: As most people that end up seeing a physio I had opted not to do anything about my musclier pain, until it could not longer be ignored. Having previously visited two other physio's, a friend urged me to try one last time with Pure Physio, and I am incredibly glad I took the advice. Roy & Cara went above and beyond to assess me, to understand exactly what my limitations were and where I wanted to get back to. They worked together to constantly stay up to date with my improvements, or where pain persisted. As a result I have not only regained my strength and ease of movement, but I have been able to return to a very active, pain free lifestyle. I truly have not experienced my current level of fitness in a very long time and am so grateful for their on going guidance to help me get there. If I have once piece of advice, it's do the work and follow the exercises. Thank you Roy & Cara, and to the wonderful team at Pure Physio.

Fantastic experience: Excellent all round. From the time you are welcomed to the knowledgeable and professional physios, this is one of the best run physios I have been to. If you want to have a plan and treatment developed that is specific to you, not a generic 'try this and see how you go', then this is the place.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. This business is staffed by consummate professionals and excellent practitioners. Andrew confirmed my suspicions around an old injury and helped me get a handle on a new one, and Rian spent a few months patiently getting me back on track to be able to run regularly without pain, working up my strength and correcting imbalances in my gait. Both physios behaved with the utmost respect and patience in all of our dealings, and really listened, taking into account my experiences, answering my questions and tailoring their treatment advice to my needs. Not to mention that the place is warm, clean and welcoming, with friendly and competent reception staff. Top marks, everyone, really appreciate your service!

Fantastic experience: For the past year, I always had a little knee pain during some of my leg workouts in the gym. I never thought of going to Physio about it until I did some research on the internet and found Pure Physio. Which Pure Physio didn't let me down as they fixed my knee problem but also keeping track of my process. Most importantly, the staff were very friendly, welcoming and fun to talk too, but also very professional. Special thanks to Andrew and Cara who guided and helped me overcome my pain. Highly recommended to anyone who is thinking to see physio or has no clue which one to go to.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Andrew at Pure Physio for close to a year now and my visits have become less frequent over time. I came to Andrew feeling defeated by on going neck issues (predominantly high up- at the base of my skull). The treatment has proven to be the best I've ever received, as I no longer have chronic pain. Relief!! Clinical Pilates with Cara has also been very effective too. The exercises I've been shown by both Cara and Andrew, have provided much needed relief & strengthened muscle groups. Have always felt very looked after at Pure Physio and love the friendly vibe! The reception girls have always been lovely to deal with too. Couldn't recommend this Practice more!

Fantastic experience: I first came to Pure Physio in March this year following a recommendation from a family member who had had success there. I saw Andrew for my initial assessments for spinal nerve spasms (stabbing like pains across my upper back along with severe nausea) that I was having at least once a week at this point in time. Andrew was straight forward and instead of just spouting long medical jargon at me, took the time to explain what the different things in my back were doing and what my spinal nerve spasms were reacting to and answered so many questions I had about what my body seemed to be doing. This was hugely important for me as previous medical assessments (several doctors, a chiropractor and another physio) made no effort to help me understand what was going on with my back. I think being able to understand aided me in assessing my own physical contributions to the nerve spasms and enabled me to pre-emptively avoid different exercises or movements because I understood what the reactions of my muscles were doing and what the end result would be. Andrew was supportive of my desire to move my form of pain relief to change from medication as I was only taking stronger and stronger pain medication which while providing immediate relief, was merely masking a problem that appeared to be long-term. I then started to see Cara to begin rehabilitation for my spinal nerves and examine different methods and exercises I could do to build and strengthen my muscles and their flexibility around my spinal nerve system. Cara gave me so many different exercises that focused exactly upon what my needs and capabilities and was constantly updating my program based on whether they were working or not. Cara was also in regular contact with me outside of my almost weekly appointments to check in with me and how I was doing and whether I felt my program was helping. Just over seven months ago, I was faced with a spinal nerve problem which multiple doctors had told me would be a permanent problem for me, affecting my ability to work full time. Before my assessments and rehabilitation program, my stabbing back pains were weekly making me lose a night of sleep, working at or below half capacity as a full time contractor admin worker and be crying from throwing up from the nerve pain a couple of times a night then falling asleep in the shower at 5am after being unable to sleep all night (this is even after taking the strongest pain killer I was allowed to be prescribed). Now I occasionally (maybe once or twice a month) have a sore back which aches for a couple of hours that is easily remedied by having a hot shower, certain stretches that both Andrew and Cara gave me and lying on my stomach with a hot water bottle on my upper back and being able to sleep throughout the night without having to take any form of pain relief. Hard to explain just how much getting appropriate and proper medical care has changed my entire lifestyle. From being able to barely manage 25 hours spread across five days for my contract job as a full time worker (potentially having to leave my job being unable to fulfil my contract), I’m now working 35+ hours a week since early September as well as being able to exercise regularly playing hockey (which I’d missed so much!) and working out at my gym. I’m so thankful to both Andrew and Cara, because their approach to assessing my physical problems and giving me the programs to build up my spinal and back strength and flexibility worked wonders. Definitely will be recommending this place to any friends or family faced with temporary or seemingly(!) permanent muscular or nerve injuries.

Fantastic experience: Pure Physio is exactly what you are looking for in a physio therapy experience. The front office staff are warm and well organized. The therapists themselves are thorough, kind and have a real interest in the well being of their clients. Couldn't recommend it more!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional service. It's so refreshing to be treated by experts. Resolved nasty shoulder issue in 2 visits. Patient, caring and really incredibly knowledgeable! Roy Dokkia is outstanding.

Fantastic experience: The absolute best Podiatry i've ever received. I could not recommend Ella Wright enough. She went over and above to help find a solution to my problem and I was incredibly impressed by the level of detail and varying practices she used to alleviate the pain in my very sore foot. I would go again without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Being my first physiotherapy, I was very impressred with Pure Physio. I worked with Jacob whom is very knowledgeable and friendly, always happy to listen. His passion extends not only to help with your rehabilitation but he also educates you on how your body functions! :)

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Jacob and Pure Physio. Very professional, personable and most importantly - very healing! Great recovery from a sports injury and helped me get back into training really quickly. The facilities at Pure are really good - modern, good gym etc. and showed a lot of care. Just easy to deal with. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have had the most painful corns on my toes for over 10 years. I have always been so ashamed of my feet. I was so anxious to come to this appointment from the moment I booked it. I cannot express how grateful I am for Ella. She was so informative, never made me feel embarrassed, if anything she made me aware of just how common corns are. I had absolutely no pain what so ever (and I am a baby when it comes to pain) Ella was super informative and so friendly. Thankyou so so much Ella, you have given me a new lease on life!

Fantastic experience: Went for a caluses issue as I’m training for a half marathon and I got advised to meet a podiatrist. Gus was very thoughtful and detailed in his questions and answers to my questions so that I can run my half marathon next month. He was very patient and professional, he managed to explain me how my foot is landing and how it impacts my pain. He gave very practical advice, I definitively recommend Gus and this place!

Fantastic experience: Andrew, Jess, Hui all pretty good

Fantastic experience: Jess is currently helping me work my way out of a 2-year running injury cycle and I cannot recommend her highly enough!!! She is absolutely wonderful and I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel thanks to her! Reception staff are super friendly as well :) thanks so much to the entire team !

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and friendly staff! Would definitely go back here if needed

Fantastic experience: Roy is an absolute magician. After four visits my chronic jaw pain is a thing of the past, Achilles tendons are back to normal, and I can look both ways before crossing the road without my neck crunching like a falling tree. Admin staff are professional and thorough, and always manage to make me smile when I walk through the door.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a podiatrist, Ben & his team were fantastic. My problems were resolved and I was very well taken after. The personalised treatment has reduced pain in my joints, made walking easier and been very easy to integrate into my routine. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I saw Roy yesterday while visiting Melbourne due to headaches and neck pain I was experiencing. I've been seeing a physio where I was living in Sydney (in fact I've seen 4/5 different physios), but my session with Roy was easily the best session I've ever had. He explained exactly what my issue was in clear terms, and provided a number of exercises and things I could do alleviate symptoms when they happened.

Fantastic experience: Really experienced staff, I've been having excellent results so fa

Fantastic experience: I've seen many physios in the past, but it wasn't until I had such a great experience with Roy & Steve that I realised what great physiotherapy looks like! Roy was methodical and instilled me with confidence in his treatment & diagnosis. Steve took the time to select the right exercises for me and had a great attention to detail in making sure I was doing them correctly. They both made sure to get to know me as a person rather than just a patient, which turned out to be key in identifying the key issue for my pain. Easily worth the extra hour on the train as opposed to a 5 minute drive down the road.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars is not enough for Pure Physio! I had an amazing experience with Roy and Steve who were extremely professional and helpful in treating my headaches problems. I've been suffering from serious migraines since many years ago but since I was recommended Pure Physio by a great friend of mine, my quality of life changed for the better. I had amazing results with my treatment and I was always treated as a valuable patient. Thank you guys, couldn't recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: I just wanted to take some time to send you a personal note and let you know I just ran my first half marathon. It went much better than I expected. But all this wouldn't have been possible without Liz and Roy's help during the last months, you helped me go from a huge, swollen and painful foot (post surgery), to up and running in no time. Thank you very much, I really appreciate all your help and grateful to have had you look after me during my physio sessions. All the best and hope to see you soon. Cheers! Carlos

Fantastic experience: Nice staff, big beautiful place with all the needed equipment, and extremely knowledgeable physio who worked with me.

Fantastic experience: Lisa helped me overcome years of lower back pain. I had been struggling lower back for almost ten years!!! It was driving me absolutely crazy. I'd seen multiple physios, received many massages, continued ongoing exercises and stretching for my lower back but it seemed like it was never going to end. When I arrived at Pure Physio, they identified that it was a core strength issue and Lisa provided me with practical strength and core exercises over a number of appointments. Once I built my strength considerably, I can happily say that my back has improved dramatically. Thank you Lisa and and team at Pure Physio, you're life savers!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Roy and Liz are amazing, really knows what they are doing. Thanks for helping me.

Fantastic experience: I always receive first class treatment at Pure Physio. I have recommended them to colleagues and friends and have used them for a range of services including rehabilitation and podiatry. Very convenient location.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. From the moment you walk in, the reception desk are super helpful and kind. Then I met Emma, Liz and Martina who have worked together to fix my terrible posture, so much so, that friends at the gym are asking how come I am lifting more weight each week and so quickly? It was most to do with posture and a slight imbalance. Little things even long time lifters may not see. Very impressed. Thank you for looking after me. I visit both the collins Street branch and the Queens Street branch.

Fantastic experience: Briliant service from Ciaran. Really friendly guy and set me on a 3 week recovery plan for an activity I needed to complete and got there perfectly. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Pure Physio Collins Street is my absolute favourite! I had a knee surgery two years ago and worked with Roy and Cara to successfully rehabilitate. The physios at Pure Physio are attentive, informed, and really take your concerns seriously. You genuinely feel like you are in good hands, and you will leave equipped with a much better understanding of your body and how to keep it happy and healthy! I love the separation between manual and exercise physio, it means that they are really able to tailor a program to suit you and your specific needs. On that note, I have been going for regular remedial massages with Martina at Pure Physio and she is equally amazing! I have had many a remedial massage but Martina is just outstanding. She treats the problem, rather than the symptoms, and genuinely cares about her patient's well being. If you are looking for an intense but deeply restorative massage- Martina is your go to! To top it off, all of the staff there (physios, massage therapists, reception) are an absolute delight to deal with, so it makes the entire experience a very enjoyable one, despite being there due to injury. I feel like I have found the dream team of physios and therapists in Pure Physio - could not recommend them more highly!

Fantastic experience: An excellent physio, highly professional staff. Martina has really helped me with my recovery and rehabilitation!

Fantastic experience: The staff here are fantastic, from front desk to the physios. Been for two issues, shoulder and knee, and have felt great care at every visit. Importantly, also felt far better post treatment! Professional yet very friendly and relaxed. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I needed a small operation on my foot. Luckily, I found Pure Physiology. Ben was extremely patient and professional. The entire process was relaxing and painless. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with David and Hugh's treatment, professionalism and knowledge. Initially needing a physio for hip problems and then for my shoulder from high volume training with Crossfit. They explained things well and provided an understanding of WHY things were happening with a coherent treatment plan that has left me pain-free and accountable. Highly, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Was so lucky I found Pure Physio on Collins. The super duo of Roy and Kara are amazing. Great treatment and so supportive. I continue to highly recommend them to all.

Fantastic experience: Just had a one hour remedial massage at the Collins street clinic in preparation for Ironman Cairns at the weekend. The hands on treatment was second to none. Highly recommend this plac

Fantastic experience: Very caring, professional and the best service. Special thanks to Adam and Jac who took most care when I said I have very little time before I returned to my country. They made sure i was fine and fit to take long journey before my travel.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend you visit Pure Physio. The team has really helped me get to where I want to be and improve my crossfit training. Thanks to Jac for her diligence over the last few months - I feel far more mobile and it shows! And more recently Martina for her quality remedial work :)

Fantastic experience: Can not fault Pure Physio. Everyone is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and most importantly caring. No injury or niggle is too big or too small and I always have a positive outcome whether it be with Martina for a remedial massage, Cara or Rachel E for Physio or Ben for Podiatry, I have always walked out feeling better than when I walked in. Rachel V always remembers returning clients and greets you with a big friendly smile. Will always highly recommend Pure Physio.

Fantastic experience: Both clinics have really friendly staff and gave me an insightful and effective treatment with ongoing support.

Fantastic experience: very good massage therapy, intuitive and effective, i'm in good hands.

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough of Pure Physio. The level of treatment is second to none, and they really care about your well-being as a patient, rather than seeing you as a number. Their 'two-physio approach' is unique and refreshing, and made me feel like I had double the attention for the same cost (which is awesome!) Andrew and Liz really know their stuff, and have been working hard to educate me and give me strategies to prevent my pain in the long term, not just treat my immediate back pain. I'd give 6 stars if I could :)

Fantastic experience: Great physio, only recommend a second appointment if they truly believe it's required.

Fantastic experience: The team at Pure Physio Collins street are the best! I see Martina on a regular basis for release work and she has made a massive difference to my overall well being and being able to perform in the gym at an optimal level. Liz has been fantastic in assisting me with any injuries that I have gone through over the last year and keeps me in check. Rachel V. is always friendly and welcoming at reception. The whole team here has looked after me so much, definitely worth having a visit to these guys if you have any injuries or are in need of some release work done, they will help you out!

Fantastic experience: I have just returned from New York where I successfully completed my very first (and certainly won't be my last) New York City Marathon - one of the biggest marathons in the world with over 50,000 runners and 10,000 volunteers. Prior to this journey - my running experience was limited to a very slow jog of about 800m around the block. This major achievement would not have been possible without the dream team at Pure Physio that looked after me from my very first visit 7 months ago (and twice per week every week since then up until the big race week!). Thanks to Roy, Hugh and Rachael for all the manual release work that you did for me on a weekly basis to keep my muscles supple. Biggest thanks goes to Liz who not only coached and mentored me from day one but also made me believe that I could achieve this mammoth goal despite my limited (zero!) running experience and constant injuries along the way. Without Liz and the rest of the dream team at Pure Physio I would not have been able to achieve this near impossible feat. Thanks Team - I will certainly be back to see you all as I plan for my next marathon journey!

Fantastic experience: Amazing physio clinic in the heart of the city in modern central location. I have been seeing Jacob recently and he has applied a thorough and focused approach to treating any injuries or issues and get to the root mechanical and movement issues causing my pain. He is engaging and highly knowledgeable. Highly recommend along with the rest of the crew at Pure Physio.
