From the very first phone call, Exercise Thought went above and beyond and every interaction I’ve had with them since then hasn’t been the same. Sam managed to fit me in the very next day for an appointment and had an in-depth chat with me about my condition (in my case vertigo) to pair me with the most suitable practitioner. He invited me to bring along my baby too, as I couldn’t find a carer. When I arrived for my appointment, it was such a warm environment - not your usual cold, clinical practice. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. My practitioner Rachel was friendly, knowledgeable and patient. I was thrilled that my vertigo and neck pain was gone after just two sessions! The reception staff were also brilliant when my baby was screaming, going out of their way to try to calm him down. I will definitely return shall the need arise, and I’ll be recommending to family and friends.

I've been attending Exercise Thought for both individual and group based physiotherapy since March 2023. In the past, I found it quite hard to find a clinic that was thorough, comprehensive and confident when it came to vestibular physiotherapy. I have been to 4-5 different clinics over the past 10 years, however was often dismissed after the first or second session, advised to continue home based exercises. However, this never went beyond eye gaze/tracking techniques. My specialist recommended I recommence rehabilitation, so I went searching for a new clinic. I am very glad I found Exercise Thought. In terms of my progress, it has been fantastic. The group based sessions allow you to complete individualised exercises, whilst also feeling a sense of community. I highly recommend Exercise Thought to anyone needing physiotherapy.

Just wanted to pass on our massive thanks and also sing the praises of Cam Brown. He used to be a supporter of our old charity supporting families with neurodiverse kids. When my 17yr old lad needed support for a sports shoulder injury, we booked in with Cam because we felt really comfortable given his experience and understanding of neurodiversity. Our lad rates Cam highly and said he was really helpful, positive and gave him really clear info on pain thresholds, exercises and stretches. After seeing Cam, our lad had a really good idea on the injury and recovery period which brought the anxiety down heaps! We are so grateful and just wanted to pass this on. We are stoked that Cam is supporting our lad’s recovery!

I got put onto Sam and Benny down at Exercise Thought through a mate that I play football with when I tore my hamstring earlier this year. They both helped me through my rehab and had me back playing sooner that originally thought would be the case. Can’t recommend them any more highly. The thought and care they put in is second to none, wether it’s the calls every few days to check in on injuries or chatting with our coaches to make sure everybody is across what is going on. These guys are honestly A1. The other thing I enjoy is how welcomed you feel when you walk through the door. It’s a very warm environment and you feel comfortable like you’ve been friends with them straight away.

I highly recommend Exercise Thought to anyone, Sam and the team are extremely professional and very welcoming. My husband saw Sam when was in excruciating pain after hurting his sciatic nerve in his back all the way down to his foot at work. Sam went out of his way to see him at such short notice at the end of the day and helped him get over the pain and gave him exercises to do over time. I also have been seeing Rachel for my lower back pain and sore feet from constantly standing up all day at work for the last 2 and half years and Rachel is very good and professional. Congratulations Sam and the team on a very successful business and great community spirit within Lilydale area.

I completed a placement last year at Exercise Thought, and I can honestly say the amount of skill, experience, and knowledge of the team was awe inspiring. It was such an amazing learning experience, and it really shows how much they value, care and strive to help the community. Thanks to the team, I was able to learn and apply invaluable skills, which even now I still use, reflect and build on. I felt that this placement helped me to grow significantly in my own skills and knowledge and I am forever grateful. Highly recommend the team at ET for both treatment and future student placements

The team at Exercise Thought are exceptional. From the kind greeting you receive upon arrival through to the first rate service you receive, they really are at the top of their game! Having recently seen Sam & Ben after a severely sprained ankle, I was not only back jogging within a few days, I was provided with several different exercises to help strengthen my ankle and legs as well as making them more responsive. Therefore making me a stronger runner moving forward. Highly recommend them for their professional service and for giving back to the community like very few do

The team at Exercise Thought have been so wonderful to deal with while I have recovered from a leg injury. Rachel was magic, improving my mobility and lowering pain with every session. She also guided me on how to protect the injury in every day life while it healed. I'm a mum of a very active 9 month old, so my mobility is an absolute must, and Rachel has made that possible again. I'm so thankful to the team to be completely out of pain and back being active and playing with my little girl. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

Whether it’s a session with one of their incredibly talented physios, or a massage treatment from gifted interns, you’re in the best care at Exercise Thought. Throughout my treatment at Exercise Thought, the time has been taken to not just treat, but to also help me improve myself at a pace that best suited me. Sam and the team have created a wonderful sense of community there, engaging your treatment with a whole team approach. Walking into the practice, you’re always greeted like you’ve just arrived home.

Since their opening, I have had both personal and professional experiences with the practitioners and staff at Exercise Thought and have, on every occasion, felt their warm, compassionate, and highly experienced care. I have witnessed others similarly enjoying their friendly knowledge, and holistic hands -on approach, and have often recommended those in our local community to see them for Physiotherapy and Pilates. I will continue to do so because I trust in their treatments and advice.

The team at Exercise Thought are welcoming, friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with! The wealth of knowledge present in this clinic is truly commendable and a delight to learn from as a Physiotherapy student undertaking placement. They have encouraged me to expand and apply my skills, helping me gain confidence in approaching the many complexities of this profession. I would highly recommend this clinic to both clients and future students.

I am a regular attendee at Exercise Thought's 'Falls and Balance Class' that runs each Wednesday at Melba Park. It's an hour of my week that teaches me how to improve my balance, increase my strength, and it encourages me to stretch and move. I love that it's outside in a park in the 'real world' and not in a clinic. The physios are so welcoming, supportive and encouraging of all abilities. It is lots of fun, and to top it all off, it's free.

Cameron has been working with my very elderly Mother for some time now and although she is wheelchair bound & has had her ups & downs he hasn’t given up on her. He is patient & kind, customising exercises according to her ability at the time to keep her strong & flexible. He keeps me informed of her progress & she has said he is the best physio she has ever had! That’s a good review coming from a 93 year old, thanks Cameron!

I've done a fair bit of physio in my life and while I've had some good physiotherapists, my experience with Exercise Thought has far exceeded them all. Sam was amazing - both in terms of his 'bedside manner' and his knowledge/expertise! Being able to follow-up via online video has been a surprisingly amazing add-on - being able to quickly and easily and avoid the annoyance of scheduling travel time to continue my progress!

Excellent service from all staff members at Exercise thought! Bailey & Cam have been a life savers to assist with a sever knee injury. Husband and I are both Veterans and to have the support and help to assist with preexisting conditions, plus a sever acute injury for myself. Honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough! No wonder they won 2022 physio of the year! Keep up the amazing work guys :) Thank you Steph & Ro

I have been working with Sam at Exercise Thought for over 8 years now. There has not been an injury or ailment of mine that he or his team couldn't heal. Exercise Thought's kindness, friendly and caring smiles, along with their depth of human movement knowledge, keep me coming back. I am forever grateful to Sam and the team for getting me back to the field in record time each time. With much PeaceLoveHappiness, Damian

I had the pleasure of working with the Exercise Thought team recently, and I must say their staff was excellent and very professional. From start to finish, their commitment to providing top-notch services was evident. The team's expertise and dedication made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Exercise Thought for anyone seeking professional and effective physio. Top-notch team!

A dear friend suggested Exercise Thought to me as I was suffering from a bout of vertigo. From the first appointment I was treated with excellent care and professionalism. Sam and Ben really listened to my story and personalized my treatment by doing so. The clinic in itself has a tasteful vibe about it, a comfortable setting..I highly recommend Exercise Thought for your Physio needs.. Thanks guys, Betsy Fergus

I came to Exercise Thought for help with a workplace repetitive strain injury, under Workcover. Rachel has been working on it, she understands that I need to continue using my injured arm at work daily/ Her treatments including massage, dry needling, and stretches/strengthening have improved this injury significantly. I highly recommend trusting Rachel at Exercise Thought.

Have been seeing the guys at exercise thought physio for rehab on my knee both before and after ACL surgery. The work Sam and Rachel have done over this time has been awesome, with the expert help that the exercise thought team have given me over my rehab I have been able to make a great recovery and am back doing most things that I was pre injury. Thanks guys

Truly a fantastic team. I broke my ribs last year and saw Sam for the initial triage and help. He was wonderful with supporting my recovery. I have since been coming for group classes which have helped immensely with restoring my fitness. I also saw Rachel for a take home fitness plan. The whole team really looks after you. I’d highly recommend this practice.

I have been accessing physio support from Exercise Thought the past year. The practice has a warm, friendly, positive and inviting atmosphere. Rachel has been fantastic to work with. I've appreciated her friendliness and ability to listen to my concerns with respect and support and able to provide home based exercises that are able to fit in to my lifestyle.

Such a great experience with Rachel. She has helped support me throughout my pregnancy with debilitating SIJ pain and with close guidance from her I was able to excel past my normal baseline and become stronger. I love the relaxed culture of the practice, you really are welcomed by every physio and support staff, even if you’re not their client.

Everyone at Exercise Thought was so kind and welcoming. My daughter had issues with her hip and Rachel was extremely knowledgeable with the action steps needed to get her back to her best. We had been elsewhere previously but didn’t see any progress. Now she is able to do everything that limited her before with no pain. Would highly recommend!

Sam did a fantastic job helping me recover after a traumatic auto accident. He was so friendly, and effortless rapport. He (and the whole team) were able to get me into better condition than before my accident. If you’re at all concerned about twinges in your back/body, don’t put it off. Go see Sam, and get your peace of mind back.

I tried other physios before coming to exercise thought and didn’t see any improvement in my injury. After seeing Rachel only a few times I saw a massive improvement and my pain levels decrease! My injury has now resolved thanks to my physio Rachel. I cannot recommend Rachel enough she is fantastic, caring and very knowledgeable.

I cannot rave enough about these guys. I’ve dealt with many physios for myself and my son, but I’ve never felt so welcome and relaxed as I did at Exercise Thought. Sam and Rachel are clearly experts in their field, I hit them up with a tricky injury, and they fixed it. They never let up. Highly recommended.

Love going to Exercise Thought, it like catching up with good friends who’s aim is always to keep you fit and healthy with great individualised programs. I would highly recommend all the physiotherapist and their admin staff, everyone is so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Exercise Thought.

One of the best and most thoughtful physios I've ever been treated by. I saw Rachel with acute back pain with minimal movement and in the matter of a month she had me back to gym and work. Couldn't be happier with the service provided. The receptionists and general vibe of the place are amazing as well!

I have been atteding ET for a while now. I have been seeing Cameron for many years and followed him to his new site, he is a super physio and i always leave feeling so much better. I always get greeted with the biggest smiles from all the staff. 10/10 would reccomend checking out this amazing place :D

I’ve had the pleasure of being an intern at Exercise Thought. Patients and students alike can appreciate the real client centred focus to every aspect of what the team does! Everyone in the team is welcoming, friendly and motivated to better the community. I highly recommend for any student or client.

The whole team at Exercise Thought are so lovely and take such good care of all who walk through their door. The team has extensive knowledge and always strive to help everyone in anyway they can. Appreciate the whole Exercise Thought team and all they do for clients and the community.

Couldn’t get a more caring and lovely team. Rachel was fantastic at diagnosing my MCL tear and has got me back on my feet. Attention to detail and personal care is what you get. Plus the rest of the team are ever so friendly and the vibe in the clinic is great. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely love this place, the people there are lovely and is such a positive and relaxing environment. My rehab prescribed led to my whole body feeling stronger and healthier after having 2 stress fractures in my lower back. They also offer free water, tea and coffee :)

I completed my work experience at Exercise Thought, and I can honestly say it was the best. The people there were great, they were very knowledgeable. The place is set up nicely and there is a great sense of community. The work experience was engaging and I learnt a lot.

We've been seeing Ben for my 13yo daughter and he has been great. Her overall strength & flexibility has improved out of sight since her injury and he got her back playing the sports she loves in no time. The whole team always welcomes us with a smile. Highly recommend.

A great experience and full recovery achieved from the expertise of Sam at Exercise Thought! Had injured my back quite badly, unable to walk properly, within my first two sessions I had noticeable improvements, thanks to the advice and guidance from Sam. Appreciate it!

I was looking around for a good physio and came across Exercise Thought. From there easy online booking to a friendly receptionist and outstanding treatment I received I just had to write a review. Would highly recommend these guys for your Physio treatment.

I’ve enjoyed every class at Exercise Thought. Every week this unique business has delivered a tailored class showcasing the strength and calibre of physiotherapists. A must for every body. Thank you Sam and your wonderful team. Totally satisfied!

I came in to see Sam after rolling my ankle. From the very first appointment I was greeted by the lovely team, offered a glass of water and just felt like they cared the whole time. I had 10 visits with Sam and every single one not only was

You will never regret choosing it. The staff is highly professional and incredibly welcoming. The tailored treatment plans and thorough explanations of exercises reflect professionalism that instils confidence and trust. What truly sets

Exercise Thought have created an inspiring environment for all things physio. Their level of patient care is outstanding and their education provided to myself and other interns is exceptional. The culture that Sam and the team have

It is hard for me to find the words to express how thankful I am for the way you have helped in my recovery from pain in my left and right biceps once again Thank you for helping me strive for lasting recovery and long-term

Today had a 30min back massage. Best ever. I walked out feeling better and more relaxed thanks to one of the students who is going to be a fantastic physiotherapist. Looking forward to next appointment in three weeks time.

I have been coming here for months and Ben and the team have been fantastic. I have a back injury and Ben has been so supportive and has really helped me so much over the months in my recovery. Would definitely recommend!!

Exercise Thought is the best physio. The care and service by all the staff is incredible I was lucky enough to have Rachel who was highly recommended to me by a few people. I recommend checking out this amazing place.

I have received amazing care and support at Exercise Thought. Pleasant staff who are invested in the best outcomes for clients. If you are interested in your health, this is the best Physiotherapy in Melbourne!

Fantastic clinic with highly knowledgeable clinicians. As a student intern I’ve already had many valuable takeaways in my short time here. Would highly recommend for both students and patients.

I am really thankful to have found Rachel at Exercise Thought Physio. She has been fantastic and helped me so much. A little way to go for me, but I know she will get me there.. Thanks Again

I have been attending the Falls & balance class for approx 6 months. The classes are informative & fun, giving us exercises to do and the reason why we are doing the exercise or stretch.

This is a great positive bunch of people who all know their rolls well !! If you’re looking for great physiotherapists or maybe a massage I highly rate this practice to all . …

Special thanks to Rachel who went above and beyond in helping Bailee get me moving when I was in considerable pain. Customer service awesome. I would recommend the team to anyone.

Friendly. Knowledgeable. Supportive. Would not go anywhere else! Rach has been assisting me with my ongoing running/lifting injuries - could not recommend her and the team enough!

Thanks Exercise Thought for getting me an appointment so quick and helping relieve my pain. Your treatment and follow up care is exceptional. Special thanks to Ben …

The team at Exercise Thought have been amazing! They helped me treat my bulging disc and have worked with me to gain strength! Could not recommend them highly enough!

I am in my sixties and a keen squash player and gym goer. Worked with Rachel at this practice to resolve an ankle issue, and previously to resolve a shoulder issue.

Rachel has been really helpful in dealing with my back issues, giving me new exercises regularly. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend!

The team at exercise thought have been incredibly helpful with injury management and recovery for me, Sam and the team are all very kind and well experienced

Highly recommend, all the staff are so welcoming and professional. Ben has been incredible after having my ankle reconstruction surgery, he

Cam and Ben and the team here are super friendly and accomodating to my needs, if you ever want to see someone these two are the best
