Fantastic experience: I have attended Biomechanics over the years for different reasons and have always found the service excellent.

Positive experience: Great experience with Gianni at the Biomechanics Footscray and also the staff's warm and supportive that created a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the team at bio mechanics, and in particular Jacinta. I’ve seen Jacinta on and off over the last few years for several issues, and every time the level of professionalism and care has been nothing short of amazing. She always manages to get to the cause of the issue and works with you to make sure you’re stronger than ever. Couldn’t thank her enough.

Fantastic experience: I was quite skeptical after a series of health professionals that had been unhelpful, but Matt and the rest of the team at biomechanics have genuinely changed my life and helped me reclaim my physical strength and energy as well as helping with my mental outlook on my capacity. They’ve all been super welcoming and inclusive and I would recommend to anyone who is in need of these kinds of services - especially impressed with Matt’s understanding of autism/adhd, long covid and associated chronic conditions.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to The Biomechanics in Footscray for about 5 years now and can't recommend them highly enough. As many other people mention it is the perfect place if you've ever felt you are not a 'gym' person. Every single trainer (and the amazing Barb) is so lovely and genuine and each brings their own unique expertise. They all possess an incredible combination of kindness along with the ability to motivate and help push you to stretch your goals and what you can do. Special shout out to Sam P who has helped me so much as I have taken my running more seriously and developed specific goals. He is so enthusiastic and always has time to give a bit of extra advice. And any day Cleo the Kelpie is head trainer at the clinic is always a good day. Thank you Biomechanics team! You've really changed the quality of my training, fitness and sense of what is possible.

Fantastic experience: The Biomechanics in Footscray is absolutely fantastic. The staff are so lovely & know exactly how & when to push you to keep going. Its perfect if (like me) you don't like going to gyms, need structure to exercise but are easily put off. I've tried many gums over the years & this is honestly the best. Small group classes are great. All the staff are exceptional. Highly recommend.

B Evenhus 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Jacinta is amazing. Been to see her for three separate issues and each time it's been a fantastic result. She has a great approach to addressing the issues and only suggests follow ups when they are needed not just to get more appointments. 5 stars isn't high enough. It's also a rarity to find someone like Jacinta who takes the time to reach out via email just to check in and see how your training plans are going.

Simone Cassidy 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to the Biomechanics in Footscray for a few months now and I'm so pleased with my progress. For a long time I've been telling myself to accept less mobility in my body after injuries and of course, with ageing but over the last few months that's actually turned around. I feel so much stronger in my body and more confident with my knees - I wish I'd come sooner. It also helps that the atmosphere is so friendly and relaxed and that Sam makes the best coffee!

Fantastic experience: After some advice to reduce the intensity of my training I was left confused on where to go and how to progress. Sam was instrumental in helping me find my 'sweet' zone and avoid the boom and bust cycle I was in. Knowledgeable, empathic and a good chat, I can't recommend him highly enough. Cheers Sam.

Fantastic experience: Sam at the Biomechanics has been amazing to work with! He's very welcoming and friendly and puts clients at ease. He helped me stay fit during my pregnancy and train right up until the very end. Gianni at the clinic has also helped me work through shoulder and knee pain that I'd had for 15 years (and had sought advice on through several different practitioners) that completely went away after a few sessions. Would highly recommend the Biomechanics!

Fantastic experience: I was never a "gym person" but have been attending Biomechanics in Footscray each week for 2 years. The Team know how to tailor their approach to your needs and importantly, make exercising fun so you stick at it! Sam P (and Sam W) developed specific exercises for me to prepare for my adventures, including kayaking, hiking and cycling. I can't recommend Sam and the Team highly enough!

Louise Morgan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Huge thanks to my amazing team of physiotherapists and exercise physiologists at The Biomechanics Footscray for brilliant rehab work after I broke my tibia and fibula – and surgery for a titanium rod - three months ago. Their professional advice and care obviously worked! I have just returned from holidaying in Sri Lanka, including achieving my pre-accident goal of walking more than 1200 steep steps up to the top of the UNESCO-listed World Heritage site Sigiriya Rock (approx. 180m high) and also walking the return 1200 steep steps. Following my post-op recovery, I am now looking forward to returning to this clinic to resume my usual three-weekly EP sessions to help continue managing my Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS). I can definitely recommend this great team!

Fantastic experience: I would like to recommend the Biomechanics generally, and in particular Exercise Physiologist Sam Padarcic. I personally suffer from ME/CFS. Sam devised for me a gentle, simple, and effective home exercise program suitable for my illness. Over the last 6 months I have lost kilos of body fat and gained muscle, without triggering a crash. I have no hesitation in commending the Biomechanics and Sam to others.

Fantastic experience: Biomechanics is a highly professional exercise physiology outfit that has made a positive difference in my life. A guaranteed warm welcome from Barbara - including the offer of a hot beverage is followed by consistently high quality assessment. Alister is an exceptional practitioner who blends scientific knowledge and good practice with empathy and respect. His crafting and updating of my program for gym and home has been impressive. I particularly appreciate the additional monitoring between sessions through text and via Google. I can honestly say that in my long life I've never achieved a more successful and consistent program of exercise that has made such a difference. Thanks Barbara, Alister and Biomechanics.

Ali Ansari 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I went in recently to get a Professional Bike Fit from Gianni. I’ve been struggling to get comfortable on my aero road bike for some time and saw a few cycling forums recommend this facility. Gianni did an initial assessment on my cycling history, future goals, physical mobility assessments and my expectations. He was professional, knowledgeable, had great communication skills which made me feel like I was just “chatting with a mate” and modern equipment to measure my fit so he could give me advice with statistical reasoning. He is also a cyclist and I’d say, “hybrid athlete” which helped explain issues to him a lot easier. I received a full comprehensive report of my bike fit. Before and afters, data, an overview of our session, areas of improvements and some things I could be doing off the bike to improve my comfort and power on the bike. And after a few rides I’m significantly stronger and more comfortable on the bike than before! Highly recommended, will be going back for my next fit. Thanks Gianni!

Fantastic experience: These folks know their stuff and most of all are encouraging without being patronising. As an older woman getting back into exercise after an injury, their non judgemental attitude and tailored programs are the perfect recipe. Sam has been the best thing for getting me going again but seeing others at work in the space, I can tell it’s a shared approach. I’m so glad I made the decision to do the GLAD program but I won’t be stopping there, the space is an awesome and I will continue on my fitness journey with them in different ways.

Fantastic experience: Jacinta helped me get through my post op Achilles tendon injury, recurring disc bulge, jumpers knees and tennis elbow. I’ve had these pains for a long time, being in my mid 40s and with a very active lifestyle. I thought these pains were just part of getting older but after doing rehab with Jacinta, I felt a lot better! Thanks to her! The BioMechanics staff are professionals and friendly. Their clinic and gym are quite pleasant as well! Well done team!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the Biomechanics! I have been going there for a few years now. Everyone there is kind, helpful, caring and motivated to help you with your fitness goals. I am certainly not a gym junkie but have always felt very comfortable going there and the trainers make it enjoyable yet challenging. They listen well and always there to encourage and support. The place has a great friendly atmosphere starting with Barbara at the reception desk who helps accommodate changes and is always friendly and welcoming. I’ve worked with most of the trainers there and they are all excellent, professional and up for a laugh too. Well done guys and to my current trainer Sam - thank you for sticking with me and for all your support and encouragement.

Fantastic experience: The team at The Biomechanics are great listeners and are sensitive to both the technical aspects of exercise as well as the social and psychological challenges of starting a new program (especially for those of us past prime age and fitness!). I accessed this service for assistance to support my rehab after a health problem which had really knocked my exercise confidence. I was looking for an evidence based program that met my health goals, but which did not dominate my life! After careful assessment, I got a great program which has made a big difference to my fitness level and, importantly, got me back to exercising with confidence. A great service that I’d definitely recommend.

Hi Kim, We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with us! Our team takes pride in providing personalised, evidence-based programs that cater to the whole person, not just the physical. It's wonderful to know that we could help you regain your exercise confidence and achieve your health goals. Thank you for recommending us!

Hyuga Nishimura 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I am thankful to Gianni who took care of my hamstring strain. It was Grade I, middle. I had several flexibility and strength tests using their equipment and that made it possible to track and analyse the recovery progress with the data. Hearing precisely my training environment, he suggested various rehabilitation exercises in accordance with the rehabilitation stages. Finally, I have regained my previous performance level! You might be concerned about the cost, but they would not ask you to come back unnecessarily. Although I have only seen Gianni, I recommend The Biomechanics for either injured athletes or non-athletes as they have such a nice facility and atmosphere.

Karen Gordon-Clark ADCRG 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My pain journey has been complicated and long. Knowing how to move to increase my fitness and not trigger pain flares was eluding me and impacting every part of my life. After trying just about every manual therapy and medication to ease my chronic pain, through word of mouth recommendation I came to the Biomechanics. Working with Alister to reset my understanding of pain and movement safety in a professional and supported environment has been a game changer for my physical health, wellbeing and pain minimisation. Excitedly, I have even self-graduated to working independently in the gym with a customised plan.

Merryn Watts 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Committing to small group training 2 x per week at The Biomechanics has been the best decision I have made since joining in June, 2021. The team of Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists are the best! So kind, patient, nonjudgmental, knowledgeable and fun. I never thought I’d be a “gym person”, but I absolutely love it and feel so much healthier, stronger and lighter in my body now. Since I started, my body composition has gradually changed to have a much higher muscle mass to fat ratio and I can see the results in the mirror and feel it in my clothes. I can even fit into my old “skinny” clothes now! Alister writes a fantastic program, which has consistently supported me to meet my goals and reach new PB’s. I’m really proud of myself and so grateful to all the trainers who have supported me with kindness, even on my “off” days.

Charlie Park 2 years ago

Negative experience: When I originally left honest feedback about this business (they are very good at providing exercise programs for healthy people, but push too much exercise for people with ME/CFS and Long COVID and believe that exercise is the cure for all chronic pain), the manager looked up my contact details and emailed me. He told me that he'd spoken to the team members, my opinion wasn't true because I'd seemed happy with their services (even though I didn't go back after the initial appointments) and I should remove my review. I felt intimidated and gaslit into removing my review. This was extremely inappropriate behaviour towards someone who has identified to this business as being disabled. Do not contact me again!

Fantastic experience: I’m usually a bit suspicious of moustached men, and Gianni is no exception. While stretching my arms in the air, I was concerned he was going to whip out a pistola and take off with my money like a bandito. Contrary to my concerns, he managed return my elbow to its full range of movement and didn’t steal my wallet. Gianni is truly the Mariachi of Mobility.

Fantastic experience: I booked a bike fit at the BioMechanics. Gianni was my personalised fitter and he did a fantastic job. He took the time to listen to my current riding styles and what I wanted to achieve from the fitting. We spent a lot of time on the trainer analysing my position on the bike while seating, standing, coasting, applying max power, constant rpm etc etc. Gianni was very particular and methodical in the changes he made to my position. After the fitting, Gianni followed up with a full report including all the appropriate measurements so I can replicate the position if I change components in the future. Very very satisfied.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Matt and the team are all friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. I feel incredibly well-supported in my journey back to physical exercise following post-COVID viral damage. I have been extremely nervous to push my physical limits as previous to my consults I would experience a physical crash following anything more taxing than a walk. Matt has helped me to understand my limits and my body and has guided me to (very gently!) begin engaging my body in movement again. I am so grateful for the expertise and support. I would very much recommend The Biomechanics for physical recovery.

Fantastic experience: I have had an incredibly positive experience with Alistair and the team at The Biomechanics. People with chronic pain/illness know that seeking new support and telling your story can be quite traumatic. I really appreciated Alistair's empathy and validation when getting to know my history and goals for our work together. The space is very open and friendly, and there's a great range of service support available. I'm really happy with my home program and have appreciated that the treatment approach has been set on my terms and in response to my needs. Very grateful to the team.

Fantastic experience: Alister at Biomechanics has great technical expertise and knowledge. I was hesitant to exercise because of my disc bulge, but Alister really worked to instil my confidence and motivated me.

Alister, thank you for always being the greatest. Continue your wonderful effort!

Fantastic experience: I've seen Gianni a couple times with my back pain and other issues. instead of "fixing" me and prescribing 1000s of collective drills, he educated me about my perception of pain and encouraged me to gradually go back to the lifts that my other therapists told me to avoid, after he has confirmed that there is no issues for me to move again.

Fantastic experience: Being attending biomechanics for many years now. Very thankful to Michael n Gianni for their constant support in managing lumbar back issues. Very in-depth and patient orientation approach.

Fantastic experience: Ive been here and seen two different physios for seperate issues. Both Luke and Gianni have been fantastic! Both are very down to earth and we’re able to motivate me through tough times to smash through rehab! Thanks to the both of them I’ve back to my healthy self enjoying physical activities I enjoy again!! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Gianni is highly recommended. After years of back pain he shared a different perspective on pain and how to manage my back and body. Shifting focus from being overly protective of my back and instead focussing on strength and mobility. The wider team at Biomechanics are friendly and very helpful.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with a Physio here six months doing exercise-based rehab a year after being hit by a car. It’s a fantastic space with great equipment, the therapists are highly professional and supportive (and fun) and it’s a very well run organisation - efficient processes and client focussed service.

Fantastic experience: I saw the physio Ben for a persistent hip issue and not only was he able to give me a diagnosis, but he also went through a thorough assessment to ensure i had a comprehensive management plan to help me return to running. He was kind, empathetic and professional. The other team members i crossed paths with were also lovely and accomodating.

Fantastic experience: The Biomechanics is the most supportive and inclusive gym I have been to. Being in Footscray, it is in a convenient location and being able to see an Exercise Physiologist really takes my exercise to the next level. I love being able to go somewhere that has a holistic approach. Seeing their in house Osteopath and Physiotherapist has been amazing for the back pain I used to experience. Never going anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend The Biomechanics for any issues at all associated with movement & pain. All of their staff are highly skilled & treat everyone with extreme professionalism. I have seen them for many issues relating to back,knee shoulder & feet & feel each time l have been given the appropriate tools to help resolve my issues. I appreciate the fact they do not keep you coming back unless necessary. Using their gym is a far superior experience to anywhere else l’ve been due to top class equipment & staff always happy to help & guide you even if you haven’t asked.

Fantastic experience: Gianni at Biomechanics has an approach to pain and injury that I have not seen from other physio's. After years of pain an niggling injuries, I am now stronger than I have ever been (I am now 40), more powerful and pain free. When I get a small injury, Gianni helps me train it out - meaning we use strength to overcome injury. I no longer get massages and overall its not only saved my health, but also my wallet as I don't need massage and dont need to see Gianni all the time. The biggest plus is the post treatment follow up he does. Very personal guy and you can learn a lot from him what ever the age you are. The facility is top notch and the other staff are very friendly. So glad I found them.

Fantastic experience: Gianni helped me work through some issues with ongoing lower back pain. He took a thorough approach taking the time to understand my context and lifestyle to formulate a plan to get me moving again and to find strategies I could engage myself to strengthen and rehabilitate my lower back. He also took the time to follow up on my progress and sent me detailed tailored resources that I could use. Overall I had an excellent experience, with a physio that was genuinely interested in giving me the tools needed to get myself back into action and that fitted with my lifestyle.

Negative experience: Gym pricing is way too expensive for a small gym. Some trainers are better motivated than others.

Elsie Daddow 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend The Biomechanics. I began seeing one of the osteos for some chronic pain, having tried other osteos/ other allied health services with little improvement. Although the osteo I saw no longer works there, I found their whole team to be very kind and supportive (they dealt well with my many tears!). I was at my wits end with pain, and they supported me through that and through my rehabilitation. I started with the osteo, but was doing their small group fitness classes in no time! Through that program I worked with some of their physios and other staff, who were all excellent. They created a friendly and safe environment, and struck the right balance every time of encouragement and pushing. If you've been dealing with chronic pain, or are going through a recovery process, I would highly recommend this place. Not only did they physically guide me through recovery, but they provided so much information and education, and their passion was clear. The only reason I no longer attend is convenience (its not near where I live or work), but their staff were lovely in helping me wrap up there, and really made me feel like I could drop back in or call on them if I ever needed/ wanted to. Over all, I am so satisfied with my time there, and would highly recommend their services!

Fantastic experience: I found Michael at Biomechanics in Footscray particularly helpful. He listened carefully and tailored a program to meet my needs as an older and relatively unfit woman. He is a pleasure to work with on my health & fitness.

Kerryn Burgess 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I saw physio Ben de Riter at The Biomechanics in relation to chronic lower back pain, and he was fantastic - very empathetic, a good listener, supportive, understanding and positive. I'm confident of a good outcome thanks to Ben's assessment and advice. His approach and expertise comes partly from having been a chronic pain sufferer himself. For me, feeling that he understood what I was going through really made a difference.

Sam 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. I saw Luke for a longterm knee problem and was struck by his extensive knowledge and passion about the human body. He explained clearly what was wrong with my knee and cleared up a lot of conflicting advice I had had from other professionals, citing recent research the whole time. He then gave me a treatment plan that was not just based on what I needed but on what fitted in with my lifestyle.

Kat Norlyng 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great bike fit experience with Luke and Ben. Friendly, and with a great deal of knowledge. Spent 90 min tweaking and testing my new bike with the end result being a super comfy, faster ride. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic atmosphere.. fun , friendly and professional staff , very targeted to the individual . Exercise physiology for myself as a support worker with a high demand job relating to my back and joints has really paid off . The exercise has made my work related niggles disappear , making me stronger and safer all round . NDIS and Exercise Physiology for my sister-in-law has been incredible Michael Ferma and the whole staff make visits to the Gym and online sessions a real highlight for Michelle her fitness and coordination and even communication has improved massively ❤️ Thankyou so much beautiful people

Michele Lewington 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter's experience at The Biomechanics has been 100 percent positive right from the start. All the staff are so welcoming, accepting and understanding of her needs. Exercise Physiology with Michael Ferma has been such a positive experience both physically and mentally for her. During 2020 lockdown the team at The Biomechanics were quick to adapt to telehealth appointments which has meant my daughter was able to continue to use her NDIS funding and access exercise physiology sessions weekly. Michael Ferma has a gift of making each session fun and engaging, my daughter is going from strength to strength under his expert guidance. Thanks team!

Fantastic experience: The Biomechanics is not your typical gym. This is a very friendly, inclusive and supportive space where each client works at their own pace towards their particular goals. The high calibre team has a forward-thinking approach to injury recovery and pain management. I started training there approximately 6 years ago after experiencing recurring back pain. What an excellent decision this proved to be. Initially I enjoyed training 1:1, which gave me the opportunity to focus specifically on my personal goals and developing my strength training knowledge. Now that I am more equipped and confident to train with less supervision, I have switched to the small group classes, which I love. It has developed my sense of community with the other clients and still gives me access to the support and knowledge of the trainers. I have grown to love strength training and as a bonus, I have developed some beautiful friendships along the way. I always look forward to my sessions at the Biomechanics.

Fantastic experience: First of all the entrance is via Paisley Street for those people who are new. Michael has been really good physical therapy to me. He will listen and will get you to do first, second and third stage if needed and gradually until improved... Follow up from him helps a lot too. Great team and I'm looking forward to see them soon for my fourth different problem . Great job guys and keep up the good work.

Fantastic experience: The Biomechanics are excellent I have been training with them for a number of years now and they are able to target my training to my sport of Dragon Boating. They are professional but at the same time make your work out a bit of fun. Then when you have an injury their professionalism really kicks in as they are continually researching or furthering their skill levels and have me back in the boat in no time.
