Fantastic experience: Dr Neeraj has been treating me with great care. The team here is very knowledgeable and courteous.
Thanks for your kind review. It's a pleasure being able to provide physio advice and treatment to your family.
Fantastic experience: We saw Zoe for both of our kids who weren't crawling and were considered slightly delayed. Zoe was very compassionate, understanding and attentive. She gave us easy to follow exercises to do at home. We highly recommend Zoe if you're looking for a kind and friendly paediatric physiotherapist. We found the sessions with Zoe very helpful in getting our kids to walk soon after.
Thanks for your kind review Tiffany. Zoe is truly exceptional in the paediatric physio space. We are glad she was able to assist you.
Fantastic experience: MFL has helped me recover from shoulder surgery not once but twice. The exercises and Pilates program has helped me physically get stronger as well as mentally move me in a positive direction. Thanks to the team.
Fantastic experience: I can’t speak more highly of Zoe at MFL. We’ve been seeing her nearly 3 years with my Down Syndrome babe who is slow to grow. Tommy has come on leaps and bounds since we’ve been seeing her and whether she likes it or not, we’re here to stay ❤️
Thanks Jess. No doubt Zoe is brilliant with her care and rehab for children who are battling developmental delay like your lovely son Tommy. We hope he continues to make such positive progress.
Positive experience: Hazel is the best podiatrist,a bit pricey than others but life saver.
Fantastic experience: First time I've ever had to see a physio, I was assigned Annie to assist me with issues relating to my right knee. She has been incredibly helpful and was quite sharp at immediately ascertaining what was wrong and how I should proceed. In the relatively short time I have been seeing her I have made clear improvements and would recommend her to anyone who needs similar help!
Thanks Max for your kind review. We hope you continue to overcome this knee issue.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Move for Life Physio for anyone recovery from injury. I have been working with Ayrton for a couple of months and couldn’t be happier with experience I have had. I have always had professional and friendly interactions at each visit at the clinic and the advice and guidance I received was realistic and well explained. I felt very supported and understood. I also felt the information I was given was up to date and evidence based so I felt confident that following the exercises and guidelines would be beneficial. I feel certain that the support and plan I was provided with help me recover successfully and am pleased that I have Ayrton guiding me as I work to continue building strength and improving my exercise plan.
Thanks Gillian. That is wonderfully positive feedback. We do take the care to try and not only understand our patient's pain or injury, but also understand them as people. This allows us to be able to formulate the best treatment plans. Ayrton is no doubt wonderful at this.
Fantastic experience: The best and friendliest service and physios in town ! Highly recommended
Thanks for your acknowldegment and kind review
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend tom, was very helpful and was very easy to get along with as a person not just a physio.
Thanks Harry. Indeed Tom is not just a brilliant physio but also a wonderful person. Glad he has been able to help and connect with you.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Move for Life Physio. I have 100% confidence in their support and expertise, which they consistently deliver time and again.
Thanks Jade and appreciate your support and trust. You're doing a great job!!
Fantastic experience: Our whole family has visited recently for a range of different issues, and every experience has been excellent. The team is always friendly, professional, and genuinely focused on helping you recover. The advice and treatment are consistently top-notch, and we’ve always felt well looked after. Highly recommend to anyone looking for knowledgeable and caring physiotherapists.
Thanks for taking the time to review us Shreya. Sorry that you have all needed our services recently but it's rewarding to be able to help such a wonderful family. Thanks for trusting us with your care.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Ayrton, especially for running injuries! He’s helped me through the recovery process for hip bursitis and has been friendly, professional and supportive at every stage.
Thanks for the review Sarah. Indeed Aytron is highly skilled in the diagnosis and management of running injuries
Fantastic experience: Great service and Tom has been amazing at helping me sort my back out. Thanks Tom.
Thanks Sally. Glad to hear your feedback. Tom is a great addition to our team
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Annie Ain. I was suffering from vertigo. Annie showed a lot of care and patience with my care. After 3 sessions with Annie l can honestly say my vertigo is almost gone. Annie is also treating my shoulder injury. I would highly recommend Annie to anyone. Thanks Annie so much.
Thanks for your glowing review Diane. Glad to hear you're improving as vertigo can be a horrible feeling. Hoping the shoulder injury improves just as quickly for you.
Fantastic experience: Dean is an excellent psychologist, easy to talk to, honest eyes, excellent advice. Highly recommend
Thanks for the review Peter and your kind words. We hope he is helping you get the best out of yourself.
Fantastic experience: Ayrton was very attentive and professional.
Thanks for the positive feedback Luke
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going for a few years. The amazing team has helped me transform my health from a low baseline with chronic illness being able to go on holidays and go for a hike! The weekly Pilates classes are so motivating to help me maintain my progress and good habits. It also has a really nice sense of community as we’ve gotten to know each other and all us ladies will chat. Ayrton is a great physio. For people with injuries or chronic illness there’s a huge difference between seeing a physio and a personal trainer to improve your fitness and mobility and health. PTs push way too hard but a good physio will help you build gradually from where you are with safe exercises. I honestly couldn’t see myself being a healthy active person again but I was able to get back there with the help of Ayrton and the team.
Thanks heaps Kirsten, and you're right in your review of Ayrton, he's a very caring and knowledgeable physio. We hope you continue to make wonderful health gains.
Fantastic experience: In my view, there isn't any need or room for improvement. Greeting from the "girls" is always most pleasant. Sadly, there is only one Ayrton. o:) Valda Mathers PS, all computer contact for me is still under my later husband's name. VM
Thanks Valda, very kind words and agree, if only there were more than 1 Ayrton!!
Fantastic experience: I'm currently having ongoing treatment for chronic aching legs/feet and acute calf pain. Ive been recommended and assigned Annie who is quite simply, brilliant. I've never before had someone so completely and succinctly work on the root cause of the issue in such a comprehensive manner, and she explains every move in logical.and understandable detail. I highly recommend her!!
Thanks so much Chris. Annie joins us with a wealth of experience and has excellent skills in particular with her manual therapy techniques. We are glad she has been able to assist you.
Fantastic experience: Both Zoe and Jess I highly recommend. They are very caring and have given me so much support over the years. I attend weekly group fitness with a personalised plan. It's thanks to them I have regained strength in my frozen shoulder and leg after a hip replacement.
Thank you so much, Victoria! We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with Zoe and Jess. It's wonderful to know that their support and your personalized plan have helped you regain strength in your shoulder and leg.
Fantastic experience: The staff are caring, Professional and knowledgeable, always ready to help. They have seen me through a lot of injuries. I would recommend Move for life highly. Particularly my Physio Neeraj Kochhar and Pilates instructor Jess Cogley
Thanks Lesley. You're more a friend of ours than a client and your kinds words are most appreciated
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to ‘move for life’ for a few months now to rehab after a microdiscectomy. From my very first session, I felt so comfortable and gained a warm feeling of being in great hands. I felt listened to and a whole program designed purely relating to my own goals. I went from having absolutely zero confidence after my operation, to building the blocks back up in believing in myself all due to seeing improvements and gaining strength. I truely believe this wouldn’t have been possible without Zoe being in my corner every step of the way. Zoe has gone above and beyond in being available to answer any questions or concerns I have throughout my rehab that may pop up. At ‘move for life’ I don’t just feel like another patient, I really feel cared for and I think that’s what sets them apart from other physiotherapists.
Thanks Alana. We are so pleased to hear that you've had that experience during your rehab after having significant surgery. Zoe is a wonderful physio and we thank you for acknowledging the work she has done with you.
Fantastic experience: Excellent and professional service provided!
Thanks Mark
Fantastic experience: I have used Move for Life Physio, (Neeraj Kochhar), a number of times for treatment of running injuries, foot surgery recovery and shoulder surgery recovery. Bottom line is that I have recovered well under Neeraj's treatment programs each time. I have also used the group's podiatrist who identified a condition that required specialist treatment and was referred onward. I have found the practice friendly, efficient communicative and always been seen within 5 minutes of appointed time. I highly recommend this practice.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your kind words and acknowledgement of the service we provide. We do have strong expertise in running injuries and post operative rehab and we are pleased that you have benefitted from this.
Fantastic experience: I had Sebastian working on a torn ligament in my shoulder. I was told by another physio that I would be in a sling for 2 months. Sebastian had me moving with full range of motion within 1 month. I could not recommend this team more to anyone who needs a good physio. Friendly staff, great equipment, and a physio that is very informative with their diagnosis and the recovery process.
Thanks for the review Chris and it's wonderful to hear that you've had such a pleasing result with your shoulder injury. Appreciate your kind words of acknowledgement.
Fantastic experience: Neeraj helped me get back to 100% after a painful back spasm
Thanks for your review Joy. Glad to see you back to normal after such a painful episode
Fantastic experience: It’s my first time seeing physio for my back pain. After two sessions with Bradley I feel so much better. He’s really passionate in what he’s doing and he’s expertise and care to his clients is superb. He’s also friendly and caring in nature. Highly recommend him. Wish you continued success in your career. Thank you Bradley
Thank you, Eunice, for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that Bradley's expertise and caring nature have made a positive impact on your back pain. Your kind words truly support our team's dedication to helping our clients.
Fantastic experience: Alisha is super helpful, thorough in diagnosing the problem, providing treatment and then exercises to take home - always a quick turnaround time for any injury she treats!
Thanks for your kind words Alex. Alisha is an exceptional physio and we are proud to have her on our team. Good luck with your pursuits and hopefully you can stay injury free for a while!!
Fantastic experience: Always has been a great experience with Move for Life. Neeraj is a top physio and he has helped me with Cervical neck pain for over 4 years. He also fixed rotary shoulder issue. A very worthwhile experience. I have referred a few friends who have been equally impressed and satisfied. Thank you
Thanks Sunil. It’s been a pleasure working with you and your family and friends to assist you to manage your physical health. Thanks for the kind words
Fantastic experience: I've been treated by Georghia for over six months during whch time she's resolved knee problems, educated me on injury prevention and response, and provided guidance on load management and training. I highly recommend Georghia and the team at Move for Life.
Thanks George for your kind words. Georghia is truly a wonderful physio and a real asset to the team. We appreciate you taking the time to acknolwdge this and hope things stay good for you.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Zoe Lorenzo at MFLP, particularly for pre and postpartum care. Her knowledge and passion for women’s health is exceptional, leaving you feeling educated and confident. Cannot thank Zoe enough for her support during a challenging period.
Thanks for your kind words Carly. Zoe really does have exceptional skills in that space. Glad things are going well for you and the little one after your challenges.
Fantastic experience: Ultra friendly team, supporting and professional consulting. Very happy.
Thanks Jack... Let's continue to smash your rehab and get you back playing....
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Move for Life for any physio treatments. I have been seeing Neeraj for a few years now for a number of issues. Most recently for a shoulder issue and for post hip surgery recovery. His professionalism, knowledge and experience is outstanding. He explains a treatment plan with timeframes and gives relevant exercises to strengthen and stabilize the joint in question. He performs dry needling which works wonders and massages to relieve pain, tightness and discomfort. All appointments run on time, and I’ve even had the occasional phone call from Neeraj to inform me of an imaging result, instead of waiting till my next appointment. I must also give a shout out to the receptionists Lyn & Laura who are both so very helpfull. I would and have recommended Move For Life Physio to friends and family.
Thanks for your kind words Teresa. We love to see our clients get the most out of themselves and it's been a pleasure to help you along your journey.
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing neeraj for the past few months and I can't recommend them enough! From the initial consultation to the ongoing sessions, neeraj has been absolutely fantastic. They took the time to listen to my concerns, diagnosed the issue, and created a personalized treatment plan that has yielded amazing results. Their professionalism, combined with their kind and caring demeanour, made me feel at ease from the very start. Neeraj is extremely knowledgeable in their field and has a gentle yet firm approach that has helped me to overcome my injuries and achieve my goals. I've seen significant improvements in my mobility and strength, and I feel so much more confident in my ability to manage my condition. Neeraj is an exceptional physiotherapist who truly cares about their patients and is dedicated to helping them achieve optimal health. If you're looking for a physio who is not only skilled but also compassionate and understanding, look no further than move for life, I'm so grateful to have found them and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of physiotherapy services.
We've seen you go through so much over the last few years Luke. Brilliant resilience to keep bouncing back the way you do. Thanks for you kind words but it truly makes our job easier when our clients follow through with the advice like you do.
Fantastic experience: Great Physio and massage. Recently had some great assistance from Ayrton to keep me running and get some new perspective on running!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic clinic - I’ve brought three separate issues to the Clinic since starting back at tennis in my 40s and have had great results - knee and shoulder with Zoe (physio) and big toe with Hazel (podiatrist). Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Neeraj & the team at Move for life for over 3 years now . The whole team are very friendly and professional and take the time to help you with your physio and health needs, they all truly care. Highly recommend Move for Life Physio and Health Hub !
Negative experience: Been a loyal customer for 10 years. Now 2 cancellations in a week. Very poor service. Unfortunately will have to go elsewhere.
Although it's heartening to know you've been a loyal customer to us for 10 years Andrew, we are sorry we couldn't meet your expectations this week. As explained to you on the phone, your practitioner had some very serious and sudden health issues arise in their family and we do provide some latitude to our staff in these grievous situations. We do however apologize for any inconvenience caused. Testament by your loyalty and that of many others, your therapist of choice is a brilliant practitioner and we understand that you only wanted to see them despite being offered an opportunity to see an alternative therapist. We value loyal and longstanding clients likes yourself and have tried on numerous occasions to contact you to further explain the abnormal predicament of that week and how we can help to resolve your important health needs.
Fantastic experience: I came to the clinic a few years ago for some elbow rehab. I stayed on as a keen user of their physio and Pilates classes. My posture has improved, my body is more flexible and I am lot stronger. I am 68 years old now and hope to continue to exercise with them for years to come. Great team!
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Jess since August last year. I'd been looking for a physio with dance experience and Jess fits the bill perfectly! She's helped me reduce knee pain, identify and strengthen a whole range of weak areas, and improved my technique out of sight! Everyone at Move for Life is friendly, professional and supportive, and the clinic hours are great for fitting around a full-time job too.
Fantastic experience: Nareej and the team have helped my family and myself get back to our sports many times over many years. It has always been a positive experience and appointments run on time :) They go above and beyond to ensure all areas are covered and all possibilities considered. Very thorough. I highly recommend.

Positive experience: The staff at sspc are a Great team very thorough thanks guys
Fantastic experience: Josh is amazing
Fantastic experience: Neeraj and the team at southern suburbs physo were extremely helpful with my knee rehabilitation. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome
Fantastic experience: Before I met these guys, I had been seeing a few different physios/myos/remedial and even chiros for some old injuries that I couldn't quite get on top of pain and mobility wise.. Already after my first treatment with Neeraj, I felt better, and apart from the "maintenance" appointments I have for my shoulder and elbow, (as I don't really know how to rest ;) ) I feel like I am back to my normal self!
Fantastic experience: I was suffering from severe neck pain, and decided to book here with Miranda Dyt - and I am so happy I did! She patiently listened to my woes (haha), and worked her magic through massage, and provided tips on how to prevent the problem occurring again.
Negative experience: Nope Nope Nope. Never again.
Sorry but we don't have anyone of your name on our client records or database.
Fantastic experience: Neeraj and his complete team at SSPC Parkdale are, simply put, dead set legends. Since 2012 they've helped me negotiate some tricky health concerns, and have done so with professionalism, integrity, compassion, commitment, warmth, and the deepest knowledge of their craft. I can't think of a better place to go to stay well, or sort out an injury or problem.
Fantastic experience: Neeraj Kochhar helped me out immensely after my ACL reconstruction. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: SSPC was recommended by my orthopaedic surgeon for rehab after a labral tear repair. I am so happy I took his advice. Even though I travel from Lysterfield, twice per week, my treatment with Neeraj is an absolute delight and definitely worth the trip. I had lost a lot of strength in the months leading up to my surgery, but my sessions in the gym, using the Pilates equipment and Neeraj working on my seized up muscles, has seen a vast improvement in my strength and stamina. A huge thank-you to Neeraj, who has me enjoying walking my dogs again!
Fantastic experience: Dane is an absolute legend. I’ve gone from barely being able to run due to back and nerve pain and with his guidance, strength/stability program and low load back to running program I am now able to run again. I have flare ups, but I always know what to go back to and will always reach out to Dane if I’m needing to change things up a bit. I highly recommend any keen runners having issues to get in with Dane ASAP!
Fantastic experience: Always a good experience at this place , the staff is experienced and friendly, well equipped! The pilates sessions are not expensive either.
Fantastic experience: Very happy to have found SSPC Parkdale! Neeraj and his team are all fantastic at what they do and really care about getting you moving again.
Fantastic experience: Great physio! Adam Gibbs is amazing and really knows his stuff... highly recommend him Also staff at front desk are very helpful and friendly.. great place
Fantastic experience: Great physiotherapist. Ol magic hands Dane.
