Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a physiotherapy practice that genuinely cares about your wellbeing, Mastering Movement is in a league of its own. From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted by friendly faces and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It is immediately clear that this beautiful business is run with true heart, passion, and dedication. What sets Mastering Movement apart is the deep personal care and authentic interest they take in your overall health. They don't just address immediate pain—they take the time to understand your goals and focus on making you genuinely strong. The level of individual attention and professional expertise here is unmatched, especially as my experience was for my 12 year old son. Simply put, hands down the best physio ever!
Thankyou so much for this wonderful review Lauren-Lee! This is exactly what we aim to create at Mastering Movement- a space you feel welcomed, heard and supported. We are so glad you and your son had such a positive experience. Thankyou for trusting our team and taking the time to share these lovely words!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love coming here! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed, comfortable and genuinely cared for. The team are so friendly, supportive and positive, and they make every appointment something to look forward to. I couldn’t recommend this place enough — such a warm, caring and positive bunch of women! ❤️
Thanks Belinda! It's always wonderful to see your smiling face too!!
Fantastic experience: The only clinic I would recommend. This whole team from reception to practitioners is incredible. So welcoming from your first step in, they always go the extra mile for you, very accomodating. I’ve seen Sophie, Gabby and Daisy for treatment and ALWAYS feel 10000x better after- physically and mentally. They’re so knowledgable, see you as a person not just an injury and truely care about your goals and progress. Sporting injuries or just feeling a bit tight or sore, there is no one else I would trust . If I could give a million stars I would, no question. Thankyou Mastering Movement!
Thank you Stephanie for your amazing review!! We are so happy that you are seeing such positive results following your appointments:) Look forward to seeing you again soon

Thanks for your great review Alina!
Fantastic experience: These girls are absolute life savers! After 18 months of consistent lower back pain, wasting so much time and money on other people who would just put a “bandaid” on my issue, I finally found the place that would make me a new person Started with Sophie who instantly gave me relief and now have continued with Gabby, who is continuing to give me relief and I’m able to move without pain. I can’t thank them enough for listening to me, and giving 100% to working out a solution to help me!! Mastering Movement is such a warm, welcoming, friendly place! Highly recommend to everyone I know! So glad I found it!
Thank you for your wonderful review Steph! Glad to hear that you're getting some much needed relief. Hope to see you again soon :)
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and caring practitioners. Appointments run to time which I appreciate. The clinic is always clean and you can buy products there to aid recovery.
Thanks Michelle! Your kind words are very appreciated :)
Fantastic experience: Since moving to the Chelsea area 7 years ago, I have seen Sophie for remedial massage and have had marvellous results in sorting out my sports related niggles. She has a wealth of knowledge and the entire team are also brilliant at what they do. I was heavily pregnant earlier in the year and needing some relief for my lower back so booked in with the girls which assisted greatly! They also have wonderful contacts in the industry and are open to sharing clients helping me book in with a maternity osteopath throughout my pregnancy as well as an acupuncturist who specialises in labour induction to help things get a move on! I cannot recommend the Mastering Movement team and their services enough, they are a wealth of knowledge and such lovely people.
Thank you for these very kind words! We love to know that you've had such a positive experience with us :)
Fantastic experience: Lovely people running this place! Gabby’s remedial work is nothing short of elite!
Thanks so much Will! Hope to see you back in 2026 :)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic clinic great staff always feeling better coming out
Thanks Henry! Nice to meet you :)
Fantastic experience: I have being see Sophie and the girls for a few years now. Went in for shoulder pain due to my work not only did Sophie fix my shoulder she completely fix my whole body. Through my whole pregnancy I was seeing her and let me tell you without her I probably wouldn’t have survived and postpartum Sophie and gabby have being a god sent. They have magic hands. Not only are they amazing at what they do they are the nicest group of women you will be meet.
Thanks Zana ☺️

Fantastic experience: This group of girls are soo great! Recent treatments from Gabby have been fab, she listens to your concerns, & acts appropriately. Along with phone advice from Soph, after hurting my back, these girls are very empathetic, professional & hold a lot of knowledge. Definitely recommend!
Thanks for your kind words Elise. We value your positive feedback.
You're now in our draw to win a Xmas gift bundle worth $150.00.....good luck!

Thanks for your wonderful review Conan!
We value your positive feedback.
You're now in our draw to win a Xmas gift bundle worth $150.00.....good luck!
Fantastic experience: Having injured myself during the Gold Coast marathon over 5 weeks ago I’ve been to Sophie for the last 4 weeks and she has improved my body and reduced my pain immensely. Without her efforts I would be struggling to do my job (labour intensive) but she has got me back to 100% ability to do it. Thank you and very much appreciated!!!!
Thanks for your great review Garreth! Hopefully you'll be back out running marathons again soon♂️
Fantastic experience: I've seen Sophie just about every time I overdo it on the running track, and she always manages to get me back to it much quicker than I think (provided I do my exercises of course) The admin team at mastering movement are also some of the best operators Ive ever seen!
Thanks so much for your lovely review Joel Hope you're back out running soon!!
Fantastic experience: Really was at my wits end with chronic discomfort in a couple of areas. I train and a fifo worker and Sophie not only worked in with my time constraints but work wonders on my conditions. Knowledgeable, professional and thorough. Don’t look further. See Sophie. Many thanks Craig
Thanks for your review Craig! Hope to see you again soon
Fantastic experience: Love it here! All the staff are friendly and helpful. I see Anna and love her. I always feel a million bucks when I leave.
Thank you so much for your kind review Lou :))
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience at Mastering Movement, Sophie is amazing and the two blonde smiling ladies at the front desk are always up for a chat!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to mastering movements for about 2 years and Sophie has helped me withmy hip. The staff are always friendly and up for a chat
Fantastic experience: Sophie at Mastering Movement is my go-to when I’m broken — and she always puts me back together. Whether it’s physio, massage, or just figuring out what the heck my body’s doing, she’s passionate, knowledgeable, incredibly thorough and completely professional. I’ve seen other physios in the past, and honestly… none of them compare. Sophie’s not only brilliant at what she does — she actually listens, explains things clearly, and treats the whole person, not just the injury. But what makes her truly special is her personality — she’s kind, warm, and so easy to talk to. It feels more like catching up with a friend… who just happens to be amazing at fixing you! She’s local, convenient, and genuinely one of the best in the biz. I recommend her to everyone I know — she’s an absolute gem! Thank you Sophie for being you! :)
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Mastering Movement since just after they opened in Chelsea. My main concern for seeing Sophie was due to my Achilles she not only helped me with the immediate pain but also provided me with the tools and knowledge to prevent future injuries. Sophie was a great support for me after I tore my Achilles and post surgery we have worked on strengthening the whole body to help me with my love of running. I have also seen Heather the Physiotherapist and am looking forward to working with Nina the nutritionist. I feel stronger and more confident in my body now. Thanks Sophie and the team.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Mastering Movement, Sophie is excellent at what she does, have had a sore knee for years, noticed a huge difference after seeing her. Fantastic service and treatment thank you
Fantastic experience: Sophie was fantastic! Great remedial massage! Will definitely be back!
Thank you so much for your review Lauren, looking forward to having you back soon!
Fantastic experience: Soph is the best in the business. I have a background in Myotherapy, and have know Soph for over 15 years. Her combination of knowledge and specific skill set is very difficult to find in my experience. When I want skillful massage and sniper like accuracy with a dry needle I go see her. I break it, she fixes it :) On a personal note she is also an absolute legend. Peace
Fantastic experience: 12/10! Every time I have an issue with any pain I can always rely on mastering movement! I’ve been seeing Sophie for over 8 years and her expertise is incredible! All the staff here are amazing! And every time I have pain it’s fixed! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Sophie at Mastering Movement in Chelsea for over 5-years, and consistently have an exceptional experience being treated by her. Sophie is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. Her approach is both caring and thorough, ensuring I always feel comfortable and informed during each session. I've noticed significant improvement in my physical conditioning thanks to her expertise and guidance, and she has helped keep me aligned both personally and professionally. The clinic itself is welcoming, clean, and conveniently located. I highly recommend Sophie and the Mastering Movement team to anyone seeking outstanding care and results.
Fantastic experience: Soph and the team are extremely knowledgeable and dedicated. I’ve been seeing Soph for a couple years now for a few ongoing issues and it’s been such a game changer. Absolutely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Amazing amazing amazing. Zenai is amazing at what she does. I leave feeling like I have a new body everytime. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I have been using Mastering Movement for over a year now and it has been the best investment in my health! I always see the amazing Zenai who has been a life saver and game changer with my intense exercise programs. I am able to perform at an elite level after seeing her from her aid in not only relaxing me and providing essential recovery but also aids in preventing injuries. She has healing hands and I adore her work.
Fantastic experience: Sophie at Mastering Movement is absolutely brilliant and really knows her stuff. She has helped me so much with ongoing neck and back pain and continues to help me to manage it. I always feel so much better once I’ve been ! Would thoroughly recommend .
Fantastic experience: Been going to Sophie at Mastering Movement Chelsea since October 2021 - managing my muscular aches and pains as my body ages with wear and tear - keeping me in my best shape - and we always manage a good laugh - Highly recommend !!!
Fantastic experience: What an incredible service! I started using Mastering Movement about 6 months ago and wouldn't go anywhere else. Sophie is a true professional, has an incredible depth of knowledge and really cares about helping me feel strong and healthy.
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Mastering Movement enough! Sophie is absolutely amazing—she has a real talent for finding the exact spot that's causing discomfort and working it out with skill and precision. She’s always friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel at ease from the moment you walk in. Plus, she’s incredibly accommodating, making it easy to fit appointments into a busy schedule. If you're looking for top-notch myotherapy, Mastering Movement is the place to go!
Fantastic experience: If you want something fixed you go to sophie. Period. She is the master when it comes to fixing my body when it breaks down. Could not recommend her highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Mastering Movement has been my go to massage therapist & injury repair practitioner, for the past 4+ years Sophie & her team have kept this older ‘athlete’ functioning long past its use by date; her innovative techniques & advice are second to none Mastering Movement is a therapist I highly recommend to old or young, for sports or just general mobility issues
Fantastic experience: I went to see Sophie at Mastering Movements after struggling with bursitis in my shoulder for so long. I had tried all different treatments with no success, but Sophie was the only one who actually fixed it! She is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and truly knows what she’s doing. Her approach was effective, and I could tell she genuinely cared about getting me back to full movement. If you’re dealing with any pain or injuries, don’t waste your time elsewhere—go see Sophie. She’s really, really good at her job. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Over the last few years Sophie and the team have worked wonders for our family. At one point I had back pain for 12 months, several doctors visits and all the scans later were not providing an answer, except to say your back looks OK. I was waking up to turn in bed every nightI was at the point where I thought, this was going to be with me for the rest of my life, when a friend recommended Sophie. At the end of first session I had more range of movement than I’d had all year and was able to sleep for the whole night after that. We highly recommend Sophie and the team. Damian Cahill.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Sophie for the past 5 years, she has been a major part of my recovery since my motorbike accident, she is extreamly knowledgeable and professional, I couldn't recommend her enough, she quite literally keeps me moving with the treatments I get!
Fantastic experience: I would recommend. Great place great people. Amazing results!!!!
Great to see you're having amazing results with us, Eray! Thank you for spreading the word! :)
Fantastic experience: I have seen both Heather and Zenai for treatments regularly in the last 6 months, Zenai is just wonderful, really incredible at what she does. She makes you feel welcome, supported and does a great job of the massage. Perfectly suited for people who need a remedial style massage, through sport, repetitive injury or other. Her and I always chat during our appointment but she’d respect a clients wishes if they preferred silence during their treatment I’m sure. I’ve seen Heather for physio on a nerve strain that has been absolutely wonderful. If you have hesitations about seeing a new therapist to address a concern, you have nothing to worry about with Heather. She’s warm, welcoming, and really listens to what style of treatment you need. For me, it’s dry needling, massage and she always runs through some assessments so we’ve been able to track and trouble shoot my injuries and actually get to the root cause over a series of sessions. I see Heather through an EPC and I’m so glad I pursued this approach as it’s meant her appointments are Medicare subsidised and we’ve had that additional time to dig into what has caused this strain and remedy it without being too deep out of pocket. Thank you so much to the whole team at Mastering Movement, they have created a wonderful, supportive and uplifting team of incredible professionals that I refer friends to in a heart beat.

Fantastic experience: Sophie is incredible. Knowledgeable, personable, very attentive, really listens to you and she has fixed many of my issues over the years.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best physio and massage clinic I’ve ever been to.
Fantastic experience: Sophie and her team have truly been outstanding. Upon my initial visit for a sports injury from martial arts, Sophie promptly identified the issue and administered a highly effective treatment involving massage and dry needling. The results were remarkable—I experienced a restful night's sleep for the first time in weeks without the need for medication. Additionally, I was provided with a comprehensive treatment plan to follow at home. I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Fantastic experience: I had really really tight muscles all around my hips and it started moving through my whole leg and back. Came and saw Perry and took me through a whole range of movemts and exercises to see where I was at. Accessing my situation very thourughly.

Would highly highly recommend This place and Perry for all.

Thank you for choosing us for your healthcare needs Kate! We are so glad you've had such a positive experience with us and appreciate the time you took to not only write us this review but also to recommend us to your circle!
Fantastic experience: Excellent results, lovely staff and very reasonably priced!
Fantastic experience: I saw Sophie to help out with an elbow injury from boxing, which turned out to be driven by a pulled tricep. Sophie was extremely thorough with the diagnostic, treatment, discussing exercises to mitigate further injury and pleasantly followed up to check how I was going shortly after. I wouldn't hesitate to return for future treatments and highly recommend her services!!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been attending Mastering Movement for about 6 months. Not only are we fitter and healthier, but we have so much fun with Sophie during each session. Well worth our time and money.
Fantastic experience: I really appreciate the way Sophie can quickly spot areas that need attention during a massage and she has become an integral part of my fitness and wellbeing program.
Fantastic experience: I saw sophie because I injured my shoulder playing netball. Every appointment I had she welcomed me with a huge smile and was genuinely interested in how I was. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs to get back on the road to recovery!
