Move Mountains Physio

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to visit Melita and was not disappointed. I've visited other physio's on and off where they seemed to provide bandaid solutions. After only needing 3 sessions Melita has helped me understand the reasons of my pain and gave me the tools to fix them on my own. Awesome stuff, thanks Melita!

Fantastic experience: Jaimi is professional, experienced, gentle in approach, generous with her time & extremely knowledgeable. So thankful we now have a skilled women’s health physio in Jindabyne.

Fantastic experience: Big thankyou to Move Mountains Physio who got me back on snow pain free last weekend!! I appreciate you sharing your wealth of knowledge with me and your programs. I would highly recommend this physio if anyone is in need. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: Transformative treatment! Thanks Melita - I thought my knee injury meant the end of my snow season. Not only have you helped me get on the road to recovery quickly, you’ve also given me some brilliant strategies to improve my posture and movement which sets me up to avoid injuries down the track. I could not be more grateful for your insights and the way you approach Physio. It’s been a revelation & I’ll definitely be getting your advice in future (so good to have the online option!). Much gratitude, Nicole

Fantastic experience: Fantastic physio! Really puts the effort in helping you understand steps and processes that will help you improve injured areas and help prevent and grow your body for the future.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, she goes to rut of the pain and try to get to the bottom of it! Different approach and exercises!

Fantastic experience: The best Physio I have ever worked with, Melita understands the human body intricately, taking a whole-body approach and really addressing the key causes of issues. I have exercises I can integrate into my daily routine including whilst I bike and run. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Melita helped me set goals and realistic expectations based on our sessions together of the course of a few months. She is an incredible professional who always was sure to help me understand the concepts and exercises I needed to be able to heal. From where I started to where I am today on my final session I am unbelievably grateful to her and her techniques. Thankyou Melita, well and truly moving mountains in my books.

Fantastic experience: I've had ongoing RSI pain in my forearm after 15 years of sitting at a desk and computer each day. I've had traditional physio and needling which helps relieve the pain initially, but it's persisted on and off over the last few years. Melita treated me remotely via an online video call and gave me a range of weird and wonderful rehab exercises. The exercises have been a game changer for my RSI. I've had the best outcome to date, extending beyond my desk job to activities like road riding and pilates. Definitely check her out locally or remote!

Fantastic experience: I am currently working with Melita to heal an existing long term injury. I live in a different state to the practice and work with her 100% online - where we are able to easily communicate and feel comfortable working with her. Melita is very knowledgeable and experienced. I have been visiting her for 3 months now after another practitioner recommended her. Melita has given me exercises that are simple and easy to incorporate in my daily tasks/work. These exercises have been successful in reducing my pain already. I find she is confident with the answers she provides and explains exactly why I am doing particular exercises, I have gained a lot of trust and look forward to working towards my goals she has set. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My colleague referred me to Melita and I'm so glad she did. She is a wealth of knowledge and her unique approach has completely changed my posture, movement and chronic pain. I have seen Melita both in person and online, and both have been equally good in helping me to work towards my goals.

Fantastic experience: Melita is the best physio I could have ever imagined. From the very beginning in May, 2021, to my extremely successful completion in December 2021, she was spot on with every recommendation. I suffered a fractured tail bone the end of February, 2021 and she guided me to a complete recovery, allowing me to run again. I have been a marathon runner for over 40 years and I can proudly say I am stronger than ever. I can't say enough outstanding praise for Melita and I would highly recommend her. She is an absolute jewel and so grateful for her every time I venture out on a run. Thank you, Melita!!!! Gold stars forever.

Fantastic experience: Melita has become a highly trusted health adviser to both me and my husband over the last couple of years. I have attended appointments in person and online – both have been equally effective. A significant point of difference compared to the majority of physios is Melita’s use of the ConnectTherapy approach. This has really changed the way I view my body in terms of everyday movement and injury prevention. In addition to Melita’s technical expertise, I really value her approachable attitude – she is generous with her knowledge, easy to communicate with and just a lovely person overall. I highly recommend Melita’s services!

Fantastic experience: Working with Melita completely fixed my back pain and long standing issues with my knee. Best physio I have ever been to! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Melita has helped me managed what I thought was a lifelong impairment with her amazing attention to detail and knowledge. I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking improvement and results.

Fantastic experience: Melita was extremely knowledgeable and really helped me with my shoulder pain. She combined exercise and massage therapy to improve the way i work out and sit at my work desk, which helped me to help myself.

Fantastic experience: I have visited many physios in the past who treated the symptom and not the cause. Melita’s holistic approach ensures a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan. Melita has assisted me with correct positioning and use of muscle groups to ensure safe and effective gym/yoga classes. 1 year ago I had acute pain from a prolapsed disc compressing the sciatic nerve. With surgery the pain resolved but I was left deconditioned and weak. Now, thanks to Melita I am attending and enjoying 6-7 classes a week something I thought would never be possible.

Fantastic experience: I recently saw Melita for some physio after hurting myself at the gym. In just a few sessions (one done online), she diagnosed the issue, gave me exercises to fix it and, interestingly, identified other postural issues that corrected longstanding pain I’d just learnt to live with. I highly recommend her services and have already personally recommended her to quite a few friends. Thank you, Melita!

Fantastic experience: Melita is extremely knowledgeable and found the source of my issue instantly! I stopped taking pain killers for my lower back pain after the first session and all pain and discomfort stopped after the second session. You can see that Melita really enjoys what she does and I feel very lucky to have found her!

Fantastic experience: After nearly 4 years following a whiplash injury that caused ongoing neck pain and painful flare ups, I was referred to Melita by my specialist. I had already seen 2 other physios so was unsure about seeing another physio and felt like nobody was able to help me, but I'm so glad to have been introduced to Melita. Being able to complete all my sessions online has been even better and so convenient to fit into my working schedule. The video link and connection is always great and she can see everything perfectly, even things I don't notice I'm doing wrong with my posture or movements. Her holistic assessment and ability to provide an individualised plan for me with different techniques, looking outside the box, has really helped me to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Highly recommend Melita!

Fantastic experience: Melita is a great physio and has helped me out massively. After seeing numerous other physiotherapists nothing comes close to Melita!

Fantastic experience: Following a long and cripplingly painful episode of back pain and having been told that I would be unable to go back to some of my preferred activities, I was extremely fortunate to have come across Melita and her fantastic work as a physio. My expectations were truly surpassed. My backpain has subsided and I am now able to enjoy exercising again. But, most importantly, Melita has empowered me with an invaluable working knowledge on how my body moves and how one can heal through movement, whilst minimising injury at all times. Melita's work and knowledge is nothing short of astonishing.

Fantastic experience: After seeing many different physios/osteos/chiros in the past that have not solved my issues or only provided temporary relief I am really glad to have found Melita. After only two sessions I feel a big difference in how my body feels and moves. I really appreciate the holistic view of the body, as while I have gone to Melita to treat hip pain, I have had the bonus of seeing big improvement in my long standing postural issues and shoulder pain. The prescribed exercises are also really easy to stick with as you can see almost immediate results. I recommend Melita to anyone looking for a physio, especially those whose physical issues persist despite previous therapies.

Fantastic experience: I found Melita through my GP and musculoskeletal doctor who I attended for chronic pain in different body areas. Each time I visit I learn so much about my body and the way it moves. Melita has a different approach from other physios. I appreciate her help and it has really improved my pain. I recommend her great services.

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I found Melita. She has helped me so much with my pain, even when I thought that I had to live with my pain forever. Melita is highly knowledgeable and shows such care and compassion. I highly recommend Melita :)

Fantastic experience: I attended Move Mountains Physio for a sore back and had the good fortune to have Melita Morriss as my physio. In only two visits she has made an amazing difference. She took the time to assess my condition and gave me some relevant exercises which made all the difference. I cannot recommend her highly enough

Fantastic experience: Melita at Move Mountains Physio has helped me enormously to finally reach my potential for rehabilitation following on from major orthopaedic surgery. Prior to seeing Melita, I had received treatment from a number of physios, and each was helpful: but I had nonetheless felt stuck at a rehab plateau for a number of years while knowing I could achieve more stable and complete recovery, health and wellbeing - but not knowing how to get there. I have been seeing Melita now for a number of months and have been able to finally return to full time work and also to more completely resume a number of much loved activities including bush walking, swimming laps and a good night's sleep. I enjoy greatly improved mobility and greatly reduced pain and fatigue. Melita has been a crucial part of my self managed NDIS plan, and has worked very helpfully with other service providers to optimise my re-entry into family, community and work life.

Fantastic experience: Melita is a wonderful physio! Her service and care always exceeds expectations, she truely goes above and beyond to help & has made such a difference in my well-being!

Fantastic experience: Melita is one in a billion. I was referred to her after suffering chronic pain and she has helped me to make enormous gains which have improved my quality of life. She does things differently to any other practitioners I have seen and it works! She looks at how the whole body works together and can pinpoint ways to improve. I have no doubt Melita could help anyone with any problem.

Fantastic experience: After trying many things to manage chronic pain, Melita was recommended to me by a friend. Melita's approach, the progression of exercises given and the the education she provides about body movement has been extremely helpful and empowering. Since seeing Melita, I have felt for the first time ever like I am able to manage the pain I experience. I would highly recommend Melita. Thanks Melita!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Melita for a while and can honestly say I have never felt better. Melita has made more positive changes to my health in a short period of time than I thought was possible. She has helped me enormously and I look forward to continuing the journey to better health with her.

Fantastic experience: Melita offers physio in a way that is completely different from others. Her approach is pro-active and preventive, teaching you the correct posture so your body is in the correct position, utilising the correct muscles, to minimise any damage and hence pain. Her explanations are logical and exercises are easy to follow. My body is in a much better frame since seeing her. Do yourself a favour and go see her!

Fantastic experience: Melita's knowledge goes far beyond your average physio. I initially sought her out as a Connect Therapy practitioner, however her skill set far exceeds other Connect practitioners I've seen previously. Though she doesn't technically specialise in hypermobility, under her care, for the first time in my entire life, I am becoming pain-free. I am finally able to start using my body how I want and it's no longer holding me back. And as strange as it sounds, the telehealth visits are actually excellent. I never thought physiotherapy could work "hands-off", but not only had it worked, I am flourishing as I gain self-management techniques as we progress. Melita is also kind, genuinely caring, tough when you need it, and always listens to and respects her clients. If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would.

Fantastic experience: Melita is ‘hands on’ the best physical therapist I have seen. I’m aware of her further studies & expertise in Connect Therapy - a holistic approach to problems we face from time to time. Any problem, she can help. Jill O’Rourke

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Melita. She has successfully helped several members of my family including myself. As someone with a debilitating chronic illness and chronic fatigue, she is the first Physio to really help at the cause not just bandaide the problem. Her exercises fit into everyday life. She is an amazing listener and educator and has taught me so much about why my body works the way it does. So incredibly thankful to Melita for her professionalism, service and care.

Fantastic experience: I've been a patient with Melita for nearly a year. I had a nasty bike accident a few years ago that has left me with a lot of movement issues. I had done a lot of rehab before seeing Melita, but her approach has really helped me move forwards. She's had to solve some acute pain for me along the way as well as working on making me move better for good. All my treatment has been by telehealth, and it never fails to amaze me how much Melita can see on screen. I cannot recommend Move Mountains Physio enough - the name is apt!

Fantastic experience: Melita is hands down the best physical therapist I have seen. I was referred by a specialist for her expertise in Connect Therapy - a holistic approach to the body. I was struggling to tolerate medication (for increasing blood flow), and Melita said we can achieve that through the right kind of muscle building. I haven't felt this good in a long time. Also, we've been doing online sessions for 8 months. Despite my initial doubts they've been really effective. Melita is so skilled, nothing is missed through the screen and I don't even have to leave my house. She's been a rock through some very tough times, is one in a million and I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Melita has a very thorough approach to indentifying the cause of the problem, not just treating the symptoms. thanks

Fantastic experience: Melita fixed an issue for me that at least 5 other health care professionals had failed to fix. I live out of town so I only see her in person every so often and between that we do online sessions. It still works great. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent Physiotherapy Clinic - Melita is professional, knowledgable and compassionate. I have gained great improvements as well as knowledge about an ongoing injury that other physios weren't able to successfully treat.

Fantastic experience: After a recent minor knee operation, I visited a physio but was not happy with the outcome. A recommendation from a friend suggested I try Move Mountains Physio - a totally different experience with exercises which have helped with flexibility and stability. I would not hesitate to recommend Melita for any physio needs.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Melita. I have been to many physiotherapists over the years but Melita is different...she has a gentle, whole body approach and took the time to understand my 30 year history of back, shoulder and neck pain. I walked out of my first session back-pain free and she has continued to show me how to build strength in the weak areas that caused the issues.

Fantastic experience: Melita Morris is the most amazing physio, she takes a totally different approach that works better and gets straight to the problem and fixes it. She has helped me manage my MS and I have never felt better. Thank you Melita

Fantastic experience: Melita is excellent as a physio and she has improved my performance amazingly.

Fantastic experience: Melita is a rare breed, who takes a disciplined scientific approach to finding root causes of problems, even in complex cases. Her eye for minor details that tell a story is frankly superhuman. Most physios just guess, she takes a correct diagnostic approach, no shortcuts. I've made more progress on issues in a few sessions with her than I did in years with other physios.

Fantastic experience: I've seen Melita for about a year now and I think she's magic. I swear she knows all the little secrets to how the body is connected and can fix pain with a poke.... She was able to find the sources of aches and pains I had, instead of just taking everything at face value, and worked with me to make exercises that suited my abilities and lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had chronic back pain and associated leg pain for years and was seeing specialists, having cortisone shots, and was being considered for surgery before I was referred to Melita. Since seeing her, my symptoms have improved so much, I hardly ever get nerve pain in my leg and definitely won’t be doing any surgery! Melita was able to figure out why my body was moving the way it was and why those patterns kept causing me pain. Melita is super lovely and answers any and all questions no matter how silly they seem. I also really like that it’s 1:1 for the whole appointment and you’re not left in a room with a heat pack, or other machine like many other Physio’s I’ve been too. Would absolutely recommend attending the clinic.

Fantastic experience: Melita is a wonderful Physio. Not only is she extraordinary at her job she's a lovely human to be around as well. I've seen many physios, osteopaths and chiropractors in my time and i've never seen much of a change until I started seeing Melita. I've been having neck, jaw and back pain for a long time and she was able to find the root cause (relating to an injury over 10 years ago) within our first sessions. She has and is working with me over the last 6 months to adjust my body to work and move in the way it should as a 26 year old! After a recent knee injury she adjusted my plan to accommodate for my knee and previous upper body pain, which has made a massive difference. I highly recommend Melita, she will give you the tools you need to strengthen those problem areas and under-utilised muscles that become the root cause of your body pain.

Fantastic experience: I visited Melita for the first time after seeking a second opinion on some exercises a different physiotherapist had recommended me - and she quickly adjusted my plan to something more applicable to me. Melita worked through the issues I was having and I now feel like a new person. Anyone looking for the 'perfect' Physio need look no further :)

Fantastic experience: Melita is hands-down the best Physio I’ve ever seen. She takes a holistic approach to the body in order to actually find the root cause of an issue & fix it, rather than the band-aid approach I have experienced from many physio’s in the past. She really cares about her clients & goes out of her way to make sure you’re progressing with the treatment. I’ve been so impressed with her that I have had her treat me, my 4 children & my husband over the past 18 months. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Melita is amazing! I started seeing Melita via telehealth in 2020 after having severe back pain and spasm to the point I could barely walk (I'm only 29!) I had also suffered really bad nerve/tendon pain in my wrists and hands from a poor working-from-home computer desk arrangement during lockdown which led to me only being able to type/use the mouse for a few hours in the morning before my hands became extremely painful and weak. Since working with Melita on my grip, posture, and daily movements, my hands/wrists are almost pain free which I did not think was going to be possible (I had just about given up!) And my chest is so much more open, allowing my back to relax and posture to be more upright. She focuses on teaching me different ways to move my body throughout my day in order to correct the repetition of unhelpful postures and movements which have led to pain. She has achieved all of this via telehealth video-calls (I live in a different city!), which has been really simple to use, and I have learned that a massage can be helpful in the short-term, but unless you change the way you move your body every other hour of the day, you will end up back in the same spot. I cannot recommend Melita enough, she is very thoughtful, knowledgeable, and practical, and I am very grateful to have found her.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Melita Morriss (Move Mountains Physio) by a Doctor as I had suffered intermittent nerve and muscle pain in my neck and shoulders for many years. I had tried many different therapies without long term success. From the very beginning Melita took a ‘whole of body approach’ that is specifically tailored to my needs. We have been working on how I stand and sit and move in general as well as building my strength. After assessment, Melita sets me targeted exercises to do between visits. A little to my amazement my back and hips have straightened and my right foot no longer points outwards as I walk. Best of all, I no longer experience the debilitating episodes of pain in my neck and shoulders. When COVID struck I kept my appointments through Tele health. This has worked very well and I am continuing my visits this way. Not only does this save me a drive across Brisbane, we are able to use the simple equipment I have in my home to guide my exercises. I am not young and I am now feeling confident that I will be able to continue an active lifestyle into the future. I highly recommend Melita Morriss.

Fantastic experience: Melita is fantastic! Thanks to her, I'm feeling the best I've felt in months. Melita takes the time to explain how the different muscles in my body work together and how one area could cause pain in another. I've learned how to adjust my workouts to prevent injury and strengthen underutilised muscles. I can't recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Melita is fabulous - miles better than any other physio I've seen. Rather than just focusing on the bits causing pain, she takes a holistic view of the way my body works and gives me very carefully thought out exercises to correct imbalance and build strength precisely where it is needed. I'm definitely feeling the change and am confident that this will not be a short-term fix. She also completely fixed my husband who had been suffering from bad back pain for a number of years - he hasn't had to swallow anti-inflammatories for months and is pain free. And she did that via zoom during lockdown! I strongly recommend Melita - but you will need to be prepared to put some work in yourself. She's a bit magic but not so magic that you'll get better if you don't put some effort in.

Fantastic experience: Great Physio. Wealth of knowledge and experience. I have been to other physios, but Melitas knowledge of how the body should function is amazing. She works with a full body approach and has knowledge that most physios are entirely unaware of. Thank you again.

Fantastic experience: I have been to several Physiotherapists, here in Brisbane and in the UK spanning about eight years. None have been able to find the root cause of my particular set of issues – trouble with my knees, frozen shoulder and a twisted ankle that won't heal properly. Although bad vertigo brought me to my first appointment with Melita five months ago. Melita listened to me and took me seriously (I was pretty hysterical at our first appointment). Not only did she quickly identify the core problem, she clearly explained how all of those seemingly disparate issues were actually related. She provided me with a few exercises to kickstart my recovery and every week since I have felt stronger and stronger. With each fortnightly visit, I look forward to the next set of exercises. I am now slowly getting back to doing the things I love – the things other Physiotherapists told me to give up on. Melita is easy to talk to and I feel completely at ease in her hands. I almost don't want to share her to be honest!

Fantastic experience: Melita at move mountains physio in New Farm is Amazing. I've been seeing her once a week for the past 6 months and the difference in my body has been drastic. I used to be constantly injured, but now my body moves better than ever. I require my body to be working well (I run a gym and compete professionally as an athlete) so it has been exactly what I needed.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Melita enough. I have had chronic back pain for years with regular physio's providing the same mundain treatment, releasing my triggers and sending me away with some exercises, with the pain to return not long after. Melita has been able to identify the root cause of my issues and has been so patient in working through the pain. Melita is a very knowledgeable practitioner but is able to explain processes/issues in plain English. I have made such amazing progress through the caring treatment of Melita and would recommend her if you want to achieve lasting results!!
