Capital Physiotherapy - South Yarra Clinic

Negative experience: Called to book 4 appointments for physio, and made sure to ask that there was no out of pocket expenses for bulk billing. I was assured that was fine, so I went for my first appointment and saw a sign in reception saying that there were out of pocket expenses. When Min Hang Yan eventually came out to get me for my appointment, I asked why I wasn't told about the expense on the phone, which she couldn't answer. I told her to cancel all appointments for me. She didn't. I started getting reminders, and alerts for "missed appointments". She even called, and I took the opportunity (because you can't reply to their text messages for some reason) to remind her that I'm not her patient, and to remove me from her system. She said she would, but she didn't. Eventually I had to block the clinics number so they can't spam text me any more. Even if I had the money for this, I wouldn't trust anyone with my health that is so dishonest and can't even remove scheduled appointments. Avoid.

Fantastic experience: My partner and I were recommended by a family member for different injuries and we have attended their South Yarra and Richmond clinic with very positive results. My tennis elbow finally got better! Would highly recommend Himmat and the team!

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff, great detail on assesment and diagnosis. I went to them for knee pain after a marathon last year. The treatment was on point and I am back training! Shockwave treatment has been amazing.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Helped me with my heel pain.

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my treatment plan for my shoulder injury.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t speak highly enough of Capital Physiotherapy, especially Brad. Over the years, Brad and the team have effectively resolved my neck, hip, and wrist issues. Their expertise and personalized care have made a significant difference in my overall well-being. I highly recommend Capital Physiotherapy to anyone seeking effective and compassionate treatment.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended clinic for your physiotherapy treatment. You would feel in professional hands specially Miki

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t speak highly enough of this clinic. Have been going here for over 12 months and Steph has always provided comprehensive, tailored and holistic advice to support me with my recovery from a long term injury. The professionalism, continuity of care and knowledge that Steph has applied to my rehab has built my strength and confidence to meet my long terms exercise goals and return to normal activities. Have never felt better, thanks Steph! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Been working with Brad for over 8 months now and he’s honestly changed my life. Had a lot of issues growing up with a green line fracture on my left radius resulting in my arm being slightly curved than my right. This affected a lot of things in my life growing up, especially sports which I did alot of, up until I was about 14/15 and then got into weight lifting. Over many years my body became imbalanced from my curved arm and developed a more active left calf than my right (probably a result from football, basketball etc.) but resulting in certain muscle groups more developed on one side to the other. It was enough to make me quit because I felt so lop sided which drove me abit crazy as I didn’t know anyway of fixing it. Start of the year (2023) I got back into weight lifting but led me to have an injury in my neck from a heavy lift. I approached Brad in March after seeing a dozen physios before and after the first session I was shocked at how good he was able to release tightness in areas I didn’t even know was tight. 8 months later and the issues I’ve been dealing with for soo long are starting to disappear and now able to really focus on getting into the best shape I know I can. Brad is also one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met and super easy to chat to. Feel blessed to have him as my physiotherapist.

Fantastic experience: I visited this practice following a netball injury and I am so glad I found this little gem! Melanie was excellent; always very professional and always talked me through step by step what was happening and answered any questions I had about my treatment. Appointment times were always schedule to a time that was convenient for me - including before and after work which was very convenient. I will definitely be going back here if I ever need further treatment. Thanks again Melanie :)

Fantastic experience: I had surgery on my shoulder a while ago and since I'm travelling it's difficult to get the physiotherapy I need. Seeing Melanie was the best choice. She ordered some exercising equipment for me right away that is easy to carry and take with me on my travels. She was very helpful, friendly and mindful. She really tried everything to make me feel better in the short period that I was able to see her.

Fantastic experience: Torn my Achilles tendon and went to see Melanie after being recommended by a friend. Melanie is by far the best of the best physiotherapist that I've ever known. I've went to numbers of different physiotherapist and none was as good as she is. Melanie actually gave me a full hour and focus only on me unlike any other physiotherapist that actually attend to a few patients at the same time. Besides that, she makes sure I complete all my exercises given and also makes sure it's all done in proper form. Overall, I feel that it is really worth for what I am paying and actually get a lot out of it.

Fantastic experience: Melanie has been great in treating my injuries. I'm a very injury prone person & I'm glad I found her as she has always managed to find the root of my injury cause & get it sorted immediately. She had also helped my wife recover from a long-term injury by treatment & very useful long-term advice. She has a long-term perspective in her approach towards injuries & I'm really grateful for it. I'd recommend her practice to absolutely anyone who is serious about their health.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service from Bradley - he is so thorough and competent and has systematically sorted through a long-standing painful problem. Great service, easy access and polite and thoughtful staff. Highly recommend this practice

Fantastic experience: I had a suspected torn ankle ligament that was causing me quite a bit of issues. Miki has been super helpful and thorough in helping bring the pain down considerably and working on rebuilding my strength. Special mention to the help I receive when I have a question out of sessions via email and the time she takes in answering my questions so I understand what’s happening and how best to keep improving. I really recommend Capital for anyone needing any physio services.

Fantastic experience: Melanie is so bubbly and upbeat she makes the sessions so enjoyable even when they're hard. Her experience and professionalism makes you feel totally comfortable and confident that you are getting the treatment you need. She listens to your feedback and adjusts your plan to accomodate. Melanie is fantastic.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Steph following my ankle injury. She was able assess the injury and confirm a strategy for rehab, as well as interpret and clearly explain the radiology report from my MRI. The plan and progression of exercises has aligned with my goals of returning to running and football, with improved performance following core and other muscle activation. I would highly recommend Capital Physio for assistance with any sports related injuries and general improvement to movement / performance.

Fantastic experience: Physiotherapist Bradley Bennett really does have “ Healing Hands”. I have been plagued with Piriformis Syndrome and related sciatica pain for multiple months . Chronic pain daily ! I was seeking all manner of treatments until a recommendation from a friend to visit Bradley . 3 weeks later , I am not fully healed but I have had many days pain free and can finally feel like I can resume my normal activities and start enjoying life again. After this success I asked Bradley to treat a problematic rotator cuff/ tendonitis issue that had bothered me for almost 12 months . Now I almost have full range of my shoulder again with very little pain. Physiotherapy treatment will definitely test your pain boundaries , but the results will be well worth it . If you are suffering from chronic pain , go and see Bradley , he just might , literally change your life !! I can’t thank him enough

Fantastic experience: I fractured my right shoulder Bradley Bennett is looking after me and knows what he is doing I would definitely recommend him

Fantastic experience: Stephanie has been amazing! Highly recommend to anyone looking to get back to playing sports pain free.

Fantastic experience: I've been with Stephanie since 2017. She's helped me with, first, tennis elbow, impinged shoulder and then sprained ankle. Steph is very patient, caring, thorough in her diagnosis and treatment, and personable. Her knowledge is impeccable and she is very flexible in providing customised exercises for my recovery. Going for a treatment with her has been more like going for a chat with a friend who'd also give me a deep tissue massage! I highly recommend Capital Physio.

Fantastic experience: I had pain around the knees area. I didn't know wether they were muscles, joints or anything else. Osler helped me to alocate it and with the therapy and exercise recommendations I feel better now.

Fantastic experience: Amazing physio. After trips to the chiro and doctor I decided to try a physio and Melanie helped to fix my torn rib muscle in half the time I had expected. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Bradley now for about 2months now & the improvement I've seen with my case has been spectacular, Informative & Professional. The best massage I've had & I've been to alot. High recommendations.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Miki at Capital Physiotherapy after experiencing shoulder pain from my job in construction. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the incredible care and attention that Miki provided during my treatment. Now, my shoulder pain has improved significantly, and I am now able to perform my job without any issues.

Fantastic experience: I had been struggling with low back pain for a while and decided to give Capital Physiotherapy a try. I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, Miki made me feel welcomed and comfortable. She took the time to listen to my concerns and was very thorough in her assessment of my condition. During each session, she patiently walked me through exercises and stretches that targeted my specific issues. She also provided me with helpful tips and advice for improving my posture and preventing future injury. Thanks to Capital Physiotherapy, I'm now feeling much better and am able to go about my day-to-day activities with ease. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch physiotherapy services!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Capital Physiotherapy for anyone in need of top-quality treatment. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and take the time to understand your needs. Miki has been amazing in treating my sports injury. She's extremely knowledgeable and creates customized treatment plans that work. Thanks to her expertise, I've been able to make significant progress in my recovery and am now able to enjoy my favourite activities again. I'm incredibly grateful for the support and care that Miki and the team at Capital Physiotherapy have provided me with.

Fantastic experience: My job is physically demanding combined with my hobbies (aerial arts and rock climbing) my body struggled to keep up due to some old injuries. As a fellow aerialist Steph had a good understanding of how and where the most common problem areas are with these kind of hobbies. She has provided me with great tools to help me and my body to continue the things I enjoy. Very grateful ❤️

Fantastic experience: Stephanie has provided exceptional care for my back pain, helped with my flexibility and movement. She has developed a personalized treatment plan throughout my three pregnancies that were effective and tailored to my needs. Her expertise and commitment to patient care had me back on my feet after every session. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone dealing with musculoskeletal issues.

Fantastic experience: Melanie and her team are excellent! I had lower back problems for years and Melanie is the only physio I’ve seen that actually gave me a plan and starting working on strengthening to help with my back pain. It’s been 2 years and I’m now doing regular exercises with her to keep up with my strength. Thanks team!

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Stephanie a few times due to a shoulder and knee injury and I found her very knowledgeable, patient and professional. She won’t just provide a quick fix to your injuries, but she’ll also work on prevention by giving you some exercises to strengthen the muscles. As a beginner aerialist, this is very critical for me. I once had a bad knee injury and, after seeing Stephanie, I was able to return to my aerial classes in 3 weeks! I would highly recommend her services.

Fantastic experience: I was in Melbourne on holiday, and threw out my lower back. Bradley at the South Yarra clinic was able to see me right away. He did a thorough intake, and also acknowledged that given my short visit to the city, that a full plan of rehab and care wasn’t going to be possible. He focused on reducing pain and increasing mobility, with some very thorough deep tissue work and mobilizations. My pain decreased after the visit, and I experienced next to no discomfort the next day — which involved a 5-hour overseas flight. I’m grateful to Bradley and the team for their quick care!

Fantastic experience: I have had 3 different cricketing injuries in the past few years (shoulder, foot, and knee), and Melanie has been able to identify the cause and treat it effectively immediately. I have previously wasted my time seeing "leading AFL physios" who asked me to have pointless and expensive MRI's because they didn't know what they were doing. Melanie is now my first point of call as she is that good!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. I visited five times for upper back trigger points. I Found Bradley a very friendly and professional physio. The workouts he taught me are highly effective and easy to practice during my gym routine. Massage was right on the spots to release muscle tension.

Fantastic experience: I've been attending for my treatment plan with capital and been looked after by loveliest Stephanie really well for the past one year. She is excellent in ensuring a holistic treatment plan is provided and I deeply grateful for her hard and heart work in making sure my condition is improving. The Capital team members have the best work ethics and always have the best client approach in all situation. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Recently had a bad back which was causing me all sorts of grief. Shopped around on price and quality and found Capital Physiotherapy. Brad was an incredibly knowledgable physio who went over and above in terms of outlining issue, potential causes and road to recovery. Price also stacked up against other physiotherapists in the area. Will happily return if i ever get injured again (likely to be next week with my luck).

Fantastic experience: A friend recommended the clinic since I was carrying an injury for over a year. Jonathan treated my injury and in a couple of sessions I was back to running. Furthermore, running at my very best after the strengthening program with a very positive impact on the quality of my exercise. Jono got me literally back on track.

Fantastic experience: I found Bradly to be a highly skilled Physio Therapist. He is committed to excellence, has a very positive attitude and committed to his work and well being of his patient. He works well with the patient to investigate the problems and recommends effective solutions to those problems. I don't have any hesitation to recommend him to my family and friends.

Fantastic experience: Great physiotherapy with very experience physiotherapists. Steph (my go to Physio) is an excellent physio, knowledgeable, and be warned her hands are EXTREMELY strong, so you know she knows her stuff. Recommend them for all your Physio needs, as I’ve been broken many times and fixed by these guys everytime!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Jonathan for over 4 years now and am extremely satisfied with the service and care I receive. He is always thorough in his assessment and is very detailed in the active recovery work he sets out for me. Love the team there and Jono is always down to earth, professional and highly skilled. Wouldn't go anywhere els

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Capital Physiotherapy South Yarra. Have seen Steph and Mel who are both attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable. With manipulation, massage and a comprehensive exercise plan they have helped me overcome my back/glut issues and improve my strength. Thank you both!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly team! Highly recommend Stephanie, the most professional and lovely phyiso I've ever met, very caring and took good care of my calf problem... + she speaks fluent Cantonese too!

Fantastic experience: I am currently studying in uni, have very tightmuscle caused by long-time sitting and lack of exercise. I have seen Stephanie and Melanie for almost one year. Both of them are fantastic. Friendly and full of energy. The first treatment was with Stephanie she perfectly found the root problem (have seen other physio not). She is very professional. The following treatments with Melanie are amazing. She is good at deep tissue massage and acupuncture treatment- much release my muscle problem. I would recommend this place to anybody suffering muscle pain, cramps or bad posture problem.

Fantastic experience: I have gone to Bradley when I've had back injuries twice and he is an amazing hands-on physio who gets the job done for a quick recovery. Couldn't recommend both Brad and Capital highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I've been to see Steph from Capital Physio with two separate injuries and have been very happy with the treatment and advice provided on each occasion. I would have no hesitation in going back to Steph for any future injuries.

Fantastic experience: Bradley Bennet Physio is just incredible. I highly recommend him and Capital Physiotherapy. I have had a lower back issue for over 20 years and more recently hip and walking pain. Over the years I have seen so many practitioners of one type or another with very little improvement. My new GP recommended Brad. He is a delightful human being but incredibly tough on the decades old gunky tissue causing all the problems. Who knew. I am back to walking kms daily with zero pain and my back is healing more and more. I did not believe this could be possible. I’m sending everyone I know to see him. If you are looking for serious improvement, Brad is your man! Warmly, Robyn

Fantastic experience: I once thought I would not be able to run free of pain again. I was assisted Melanie, who had tremendous amounts of knowledge and experience to quickly diagnose my issues and create a detailed step-by-step plan to build my strength and get me running again. Over the course of a few months of consistent training and guidance from Melanie, I was able to not only restore the running routine I once had, but excel my previous running times and distances. I am incredibly appreciative for the care and assistance Melanie has provided in my journey, and would highly recommend her services.

Fantastic experience: Best physiotherapy place in Melbourne. They have worked me hard. No more pain. Muscles have developed. Attitude has improved. Don't know how I existed without them. Thanks Mel & Brad (& Jono)

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant. Not only has my partners dislocated shoulder showed significant results in only a few sessions, I am now having my neck and shoulders worked on. I have had two massage sessions with home exercises in between and my body is already responding positively. Can't wait for our next sessions!

Fantastic experience: I attended capital physiotherapy and saw Jonathan for rehab after I did my ACL. He was extremely professional and has got me back to full fitness. Playing better than I ever have. Easily the best physio I have been to. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Recently, I was referred to Capital by my GP because my neck and back was so severely spasmed I could not even turn my head, use my arm, or sit up without severe pain. I was able to see Bradley the next day and have been absolutely delighted with his treatment. On the first day he worked out the underlying issue, explained to me what was wrong, why my muscles had spasmed, the correct postures for sitting and sleeping to reduce the strain, and the improvement overnight was so drastic I have been telling everyone who will listen how amazing it has been. The spasm was completely debilitating, but after a few intensive sessions I feel like I am 80% better again. I haven't even been needing painkillers, and on that first day I was crying from pain and barely mobile. I am completely blown away by how drastic and rapid the improvement has been. I really highly recommend Bradley's service, and the practice in general. I spent weeks with escalating pain thinking it would just go away eventually, and I just wish I had gone sooner.

Fantastic experience: Came in to see Jonathon just to get a physios clearance for a new job and have been seeing him ever since. Jonathon has worked on my lower back, neck, feet, ankles and knee, and I have always been happy with his services as a whole. As someone who would usually prefer to see a Osteopath or a Chiropractor, I would highly recommend Jonathon and Capital Physiotherapy- South Yarra. My partner has also started seeing another practitioner at Capital Physiotherapy- South Yarra, Brad. She is very happy with his services too.

Fantastic experience: The clinic was very accommodative and the staff were exceptional. I was treated by Celina daglaras and her work was extremely thorough and effective. I would highly recommend seeing Celina as not only was she good at her job but she is also such a sweet and lovely girl.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, good hygiene, professional physios. Brad provides extremely good services. He's very thorough with the treatment plan. Brad helped me to be able to walk again only 4 weeks after the surgery for hip dislocation. He's helping me to rebuild confidence and ability to play sport again. Strongly recommended. The Customer Service team could use some improvement in communication with the clients though. But the quality of services at the clinic is really good so this is acceptable :)

Fantastic experience: I have been going to see Jono for over a year now. He has been amazing in helping me with relief from back and neck pain and has a wide range of knowledge when it comes to practical and helpful ways to manage this pain when it does arise. Highly recommend him and his team!

Fantastic experience: The team at Capital physiotherapy are amazing! I was referred to them last year after a lower back issue that was chronic never seemed to get better. Brad was fantastic and took the time to listen to my issues and work through it all and made sure I understood what was going on. I can't recommend him enough and will be continuing to go with him for my physio needs!

Fantastic experience: Highly highly recommend this Physio! Steph, Brad and Mel are the best, always going above and beyond for their clients. They went out of there way to get me back to good health. All staff at Capitol are extremely knowledgeable on all things anatomy and injuries. Love this energetic team.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Jonathan to seek advice on my knee injury from skiing - I was provided with an in depth understanding on his assessment and the effects of movements/ exercises I had been doing. I've only seen a few physio's in my time but Jonathan was by far the best! The training and dietary advice were great and I really felt as though he cared for my recovery.

Fantastic experience: Before I visited Capital Physiotherapy, I was walking small distances of about 1km or so and experiencing knee pain. After a few months with them, I am easily able to walk over 6km and experience not pain or even discomfort. I am quite pleased with the results. Their cheery attitude and supportive nature is fantastic. After a session you also get a complementary cup of tea which is really nice! Thanks so much for giving me the skills and knowledge to not only repair my existing knee issue but also mitigate future issues.
