"The guys at First Choice Health are professional and friendly"
"I have a chronic back complaint and I have sought help from various health professionals over the years but none have been able to help"
"I have been seeing Lee for over nine years, and he has helped me with pain everywhere: in my knees, lower back, upper back and neck"
"I came to see David and would not recommend anyone else seeing him whatsoever"
"Lee has helped me with various ailments over the last couple of years, starting with physio on ruptured ankle tendons I sustained while overseas on holiday"
The guys at First Choice Health are professional and friendly. Lee has been my physio for 3 years now, and helped with a range of issues including an old shoulder injury, ongoing neck & shoulder tension and a recent ankle sprain. The reason I choose to keep seeing Lee (even though I live on the complete other side of town now!) is that as well as having the knowledge and experience, his aim is to heal you and not to keep you coming back for no reason. He gives great tips on stretches and exercises to do at home to help prevent further injury, and is happy to answer any questions no matter how silly they may seem. So to sum up, I highly recommend First Choice Health!
I have a chronic back complaint and I have sought help from various health professionals over the years but none have been able to help. Since I have been seeing Lee,he has been able to reduce my pain level dramatically and with the added bonus that my ability to move has improved. I actually look forward to our sessions as I believe he takes a genuine interest in his patients well being. I would have no hesitation in recommending First Choice Health to anyone who is in pain and needs help. I have already done this and the feedback has always been good.
I have been seeing Lee for over nine years, and he has helped me with pain everywhere: in my knees, lower back, upper back and neck. He has also helped with back pain during pregnancy. I have referred both of my parents to see Lee (one for back pain, one for exercises to prevent osteoperosis), as well as two of my brothers and my 10yo daughter. He's THAT good. Plus, he's an all-around Top Bloke. The lovely ladies in reception are also really helpful if I need to reschedule due to work. 100% recommended. Do yourself a favour!
I came to see David and would not recommend anyone else seeing him whatsoever. Despite my head sitting on a very obviously wrong angle and jaw being deviated, David's brilliant deduction was that I was simply too stressed and needed to relax. He did not even bother to see what was wrong, let alone actually help - in fact he flat out refused to even LOOK at my unstable patella until I had scans done. I'm not sure if it was laziness or discrimination but if you want someone to actually help you - don't choose David!
Lee has helped me with various ailments over the last couple of years, starting with physio on ruptured ankle tendons I sustained while overseas on holiday. Since then I've also seen him for achilles problems, hip problems and now a frozen shoulder. He has successfully treated me for all of these issues, in a professional and friendly manner. I've been impressed with his skills and depth of knowledge and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a physio in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
After Lee was recommended for my husband in 2019 for prehab and rehab for hip surgery, I consulted with Lee for my own treatment prior and following back surgery shortly thereafter. I have continued to consult with Lee and Chen who treat me for leg shortening and continued SIJ pain. Lee is the only physio I have consulted about these issues over2 decades who has come up with an effective treatment for my ongoing issues. Highly recommend him and all the team at First Choice for any physuotherapy needs.
I found the treatment from First Choice Health was, well, first choice! The physios are very professional and were able to provide me with excellent treatment for a bad ongoing injury. I found the knowledge and experience of the physios here meant that not only was my injury treated, but I left with information on a whole range of things that could contribute to prevention of re-injury, and ongoing treatment options. I highly recommend First Choice Health, I'm very happy with their treatments.
First Choice Health been instrumental in my recovery from a broken ankle that needed a titanium plate. All staff very friendly and so knowledgeable. I always leave feeling more positive and that I am heading in the right direction. My treating Physio Lee Keleman has been fantastic and really worked with me to recover. Great listener and has been great at adjusting rehab to suit situation and weak areas while also looking after and strengthening other areas affected like legs. Highly recommend
Outstanding experience with my physio Lee. I've been to several other physio's before who couldn't fix my back and shoulder pain (I get pain from work and the gym). Lee was able to get to the root of the problem, explained it clearly and came up with a plan to not only get rid of the pain but make sure it won't come back! I've now sent my mum to see Lee, I wouldn't trust anyone else with her dodgy neck! Thanks again for all your help. Best physio in town!
Lee's been a massive help to me over the last few years. Not only has he providing consultation to our cricket club, but I have visited him for many appointments in my own time for treatment on my back and I always feel better for it. Lee provides me with treatment on my injury, often at short notice, and offers advice and measures to prevent further problems in the future. I would happily recommend Lee and the team at First Choice Health to anyone.
I have been patient of Lee Kelemen's at First Choice Health for 3.5 years. His ongoing care and dedication to my health has been invaluable. I appreciate his expertise and insight and always leave my appointments more comfortably able to manage whatever life throws at me. Lee is supported by a friendly and helpful team on reception. I would not hesitate to recommend Lee to anyone requiring a skilled, approachable, and discerning physio.
I fully recommend this practice. I was looked after by Dr. Ivan Lam who managed to resolve a back problem I have had for a long time in just three visits. Dr. Ivan's approach was to finding the core problems that caused my pain. With his treatments and exercisers I was feeling better within a week. Also he took a lot of time to explain my issues and the treatment path. Thank you Dr. Ivan. Much appreciated.
I have survived a horrible car crash last year, and still suffering serious nerve injuries which disabled my right arm and leg. Have been with Ivan since then for over a year and half. He is patient, professional and also could try to push you to the absolute limit. I recovered so much since. All the other staffs are also super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend
I have been seen Lee for the last few months and he has helped me deal with the pain in my hips and on my back in a friendly and professional way. What I value the most is that I have been able to deal with my issues without compromising my training / work routines. Everyone at First Choice Health Physiotherapy has been welcoming and professional, thank you!
Ive been coming to see Lee for a couple of months for my rehabilitation after a motor vehicle accident that left me with several injuries. Lee has been fantastic with helping me recover and get my movement back and I’ve seen great improvements! The reception staff are fantastic and very friendly always doing what they can to fit people in when they need it.
I have been seeing Lee for many years for various back and knee injuries and have managed to recover from everything. The work he puts in and the advice he gives are first rate and something I have never experienced from other physio's in the past. He is also very professional and along with Dave they make a great team and I highly recommend them to anyone.
Without sounding completely over the top, Lee has changed my life. I was dealing with pain every single day before my surgeon referred me to First Choice Health. I'm so thankful that I've been given back my quality of life in the lead up to surgery. All of the reception staff are friendly, professional and lovely. Would highly recommend without hesitation!
Actually a 6 out of 5. Lee is fantastic, I was having issues with my back from playing drums which was impacting my ability to perform as well as go on the casual run each week. Not anymore! Lee has helped to control my pain as well as providing stretches and training to assist in constant recovery and avoid any future injury. Can’t recommend enough!
I was referred to Lee by my surgeon after a shoulder operation. Lee has given me the courage and a positive outlook. He would say"Remember 2 weeks or a month ago and look how well you are doing today." I would recommend Lee and his partners they are helping me in my recovery. The Staff are always pleasant and helpful. Thank you all for your support.
I have been seeing Lee for my lower back pain for the last 6 months. I am extremely happy with the progress I have made. He is extremely enthusiastic and through in what he is doing which in turn shows up in results. If you are looking for someone who highly cares about the people they treat then you are at the right place. Highly recommend.
What I love about Lee is that he's always got my back - literally!! With chronic back problems, he's always there to help out and take the pain away, and show me what I can do on my own too when it gets worse... It's an incredible help to have someone who actually cares looking after you. I can't recommend First Choice Health highly enough!!
The staff are fantastic and couldn't thank them more for all the hard work they put in. Lee and Dave are amazing physiotherapists. They are always on top of their game and are still able to relate to people, enjoy themselves whilst working and explain things clearly so you can understand. Thanks First Choice Health!
David has been looking after our entire family for past few years. With two young boys and a lifetime of injuries myself, his attention to detail, work ethic and caring nature has seen our family benefit from his experience and expertise. We highly recommend David to anyone and do so throughout our local community.
I own a Personal Training business in Mitcham and was blown away by the professionalism of both Lee and David with regards to patient management and their thorough assessing and treatment. I highly recommend seeing them for any type of injury or physical and I will be actively referring people to them in future.
I’ve been going to YiXiang Chen for several years now and couldn’t be any more happier and grateful for his help. Whether it’s been lingering or random injuries, Chen has always been quick to provide immediate relief accompanied by thorough and effective rehabilitation plans. Would 100% recommend him to anyone.
Highly recommend this physiotherapy clinic. They take the time to understand and work with you to eliminate any mobility issues , including help with rehabilitation of any kind (eg after a accident, or surgery). They have helped me get back up and running ( literally ), so I’m very grateful for that.
Lee has been treating me on and off for the last 10 years for various injuries, including post op. I keep returning to First Choice Health as I know that I will be treated in a professional and friendly manner, but more importantly, I can rely on Lee to reduce pain and give me ease of movement.
I’ve been seeing Lee for some years now for many and varied sporting injuries and can thoroughly recommend him . He’s a lovely caring young man and has a vast knowledge and feel for his work . And he also has a soft touch when needed . I have no hesitation in giving Lee and big thumbs up .
I have been seeing Lee Kelemen for a few years now and he has treated me with many ailments. His professionalism, generosity, supportive, encouraging and overall caring nature has immensely helped me feel better every time I’ve seen him. I highly recommend his A+++ physiotherapy to all.
The treatment Lee provided allowed me to experience reduced pain, and improved strength and mobility. His advice equipped me with tools to better manage moving forward. Great service and proven results - highly recommend the professional and friendly team at First Choice Health!
Highly recommend First Choice Health if you’re looking for a physiotherapist, especially David Coulson, who has been looking after me for the past several months. He is professional, attentive and friendly and his advice and expertise has helped me on my journey to recovery.
I've been seeing Lee regularly to help manage ongoing issues with my neck/shoulder for several years. Lee is friendly, professional and knows his trade, and I have found the sessions when combined with basic strengthening exercises has greatly reduced my pain.
Lee was very warm and understanding when helping me with my back injury to get me back running again in time for the marathon. He was always patient and calm when anwsering my concerns. I managed to set a new personal best Thank you Lee.Highly recommend ☺️.
Lee has helped me significantly coming out of multiple surgeries. Very professional, but also knows how to have a laugh and make you feel as comfortable as you can. I highly recommend First Choice Health, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my physio needs!!
I cannot recommend or thank Lee enough. I have been seeing him for years, and he has never failed to help in a variety of problems. He cares about his patients, and really goes that extra mile to ensure I get the best medical treatment. Thank you, Lee!
Ivan is really a great physio. I got injured 1 year back and in pain in my neck and shoulder. I went to Ivan and in 1st sitting only I got lot of relief in pain. I really recommend Ivan as a great physio. Thank you Ivan for helping me with my pain.
Lee is a great physio. He works hard to find the issue at hand and treat it accordingly. I always leave with good instructions for any new exercises I need to do. He is honest and helpful with his treatments. I highly recommend his services.
Lee is a very caring person, as well as being an experienced physiotherapist, his greatest attribute is that, unlike other medical professionals, he has the ability to actually "listen" to his clients and then recommend the appropriate
Great , prompt attention. The receptionist are helpful & very easy to deal with, always greet you with a welcoming. The physios, Isaac & Mathew in particular are caring and always looking for solutions to assist you. Highly Recommended
The staff are all friendly and helpful and Lee has provided good information and support as well as a physiotherapy treatment that is working well for me. The clinics opening hours are good and make it easy to have a flexible schedule.
I would follow Lee Keleman at First Choice Physio to the ends of the earth. His advice is always spot on, he knows his stuff and delivers it with care. The practice staff are fabulous too. I can fully recommend this practice.
Lee identified my sholder problem precisely and gave me good instructions to recover from the injury. I am still recovering, but my scholder condition is definately getting better. I highly recommend Lee's practice.
Have been going to Lee for 10 years following him as he moved from other practices because I don't want to be treated by anyone else. also know numerous people who have also had a great experience at first choice.

Best Physio in Melbourne! Lee Kelemen is truly amazing. He is both professional and highly skilled. The staff are great too! Supurb customer service skills. A+++++++
Had many sessions with Lee with very little results. He kept treating my back when the problem was coming from my neck. I guess my case was beyond his paygrade.
