Fantastic experience: MCAP is an outstanding facility for sports physiotherapy and strength and conditioning training. After suffering an ACL injury 11 months ago, I worked with physiotherapist Michael Grbac, who developed a tailored plan to help me return to sports. The staff were incredibly supportive throughout my rehabilitation, and the facilities are top-notch. I'm now getting back into sports, and I couldn’t have done it without the dedicated team at MCAP!
Thanks for the feedback Amy. We are so glad to see you back playing the sport you love. All the hard work you put in has definitely paid off and it has been great watching the improvements you have made! Well done!

If you're seeking compassionate care and results-driven therapy, look no further than Luke at MCAP Essendon. Five stars well deserved!

Fantastic experience: THE RITZ OF ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE, 5 STARS!!! Our journey with MCAP began in August 2023 after our son sustained a significant sporting injury requiring intensive physio. Our experience with MCAP since then has been nothing short of exceptional care and service quality from every person in the organisation. Our son has been under the excellent care of Physio/Elite High Performance coach Adam Larcom who is a master at his craft. His expertise, dedication and care is second to none in his field and he has been instrumental in our sons recovery and athletic development. His personalised and tailored approach to recovery is methodical, attentive and always in the patients best interests. Our sons recovery has been seamless and he continues to make great strides in his strength, power and athletic development under his care. Both our sons are now undertaking the Strength & Conditioning programs that MCAP offer for their respective sports. Rhuss, the Gym Manager & High Performance Coach has been brilliant in supporting the boys sporting and athletic goals. This commenced with Rhuss undertaking a very professional and thorough initial screening and then incorporating their specific goals into a personalised program which they work on every week in the quality gym environment at MCAP. Rhuss and his team provide a very supportive and elite environment for the athletes and is always ready and available to support athletes and also effectively communicate with parents. In such a short time that our second son has started S&C at MCAP, we can already see the difference it has made to his tennis game (stamina, power and explosive speed). Our boys love attending MCAP S&C every week and we are so glad they are on this transformative journey! Can't speak highly enough of MCAP, their level of care and quality matched with their personalised and holistic approach they take in caring for both their patients and athletes is exemplary. Highly recommend!!!
We are so glad that you've experienced the best that MCAP has to offer. We love delivering on outcomes for our clients. Thanks Nadia

Fantastic experience: MCAP provided the most professional advice and care. Michael was able to provide a plan to treat my injury in a timely manner. I was back in the gym and on the golf course pain free.

Fantastic experience: Excellent pilates run under the watchful eye of Tom. Tailored to your individual needs. My tennis has improved well.
We are glad to hear your tennis has improved. Keep up the great work in Pilates. I'm sure Tom will continue to push you to get better and better.
Negative experience: I visited the center after my shoulder dislocation back in 2020, that was first place i went to trusting that i will be treated and i will get better within 3 months as claimed by Physios. Initial diagnosis/treatment is really important, I don't think i was diagnosed properly cause even after 2 years i'm still not close to recovered from the injury. PS - thanks for your response, just so you know, i did get operated as suggested by you guys. Even after that i have got symptoms and haven’t recovered completely. Also about having another review with you guys, i called you guys couple of times to book an appointment but even after leaving voicemails i never received any response from you.
Unfortunately not all shoulder dislocations can be managed conservatively with exercise alone. The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the human body and surgery is often required to allow for a complete recovery especially when significant structural damage has occurred that has affected the inherent stability of the shoulder. If a patient chooses not to opt for the surgical route that is their decision, and while there is a chance for full recovery with exercise alone, the likelihood for 100% recovery is small as the inherent stability of the shoulder joint has been lost and cannot be repaired by physiotherapy alone. If surgery is not completed the shoulder becomes reliant on the dynamic stability of the rotator cuff muscles to maintain the stability of the shoulder at all times rather than having structural joint stability to fall back on. We understand that this may be frustrating and are sorry that you feel that you are still not recovered from your injury but our doors are always open if you would like to be reviewed further to see if we are able to help any further.
Fantastic experience: Professionalism at its best! Therapists, trainers and facilities are all of elite standard. My son did his ACL at 12 years of age and the care, support and knowledge provided has helped him return to sport with a positive attitude. It has been a major set back for him but MCAP has helped him develop the confidence to get back out there. Highly recommend MCAP!
Thank you for the feedback. It was as much our pleasure looking after James with his rehab. Glad to see he is back at his peak.
Fantastic experience: Attended MCAP treated by Tom Yeung @ Essendon I’m an older runner, suffering from regular calf strains. Tom set up a program to treat and strengthen my calf’s, and closely monitored my progress. His advice during the Covid shutdown was most valuable. So far so good
Thank you for the feedback Graeme. We will pass on the feedback to Tom. Tom being an ex-sprinter himself knows all to well the challenges of the running game.
Fantastic experience: Ben is the best!
Thanks for the feedback Montana. Glad to see you are doing so well.
Fantastic experience: Recommend MCAP 100% with their world class facilities and elite staff working tirelessly to enhance performance for any sort of athlete. Strength & conditioning, massage, physio, and so much more to offer. Couldn't speak any more highly of MCAP
Thanks Oliver. Appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic experience: phenomenal, elite staff here no matter who you come and see with friendly, welcoming receptionists. Elite equipment and facilities inside is a pleasure to come and do strength and conditioning here along with receiving physiology treatment. would highly recommend for anyone especially athletes wanting to improve their performance
Thanks James, sounds like all your hard work has really been paying off.

Thanks for your feedback Belinda.
Fantastic experience: From being greeted from the receptionists to seeing the physiotherapists for treatment this clinic is amazing and extremely professional. Adam and Mike are there for your well-being and not about the return visit like others I have been to in the past. Highly recommend these guys. Will be back IF needed. Thanks Adam and his team.
Great to hear that our team were able to help. We will always be here if you need us :)
Fantastic experience: Could not recommend this place or Michael highly enough. I've seen a few different people trying to fix my back after years of sport. At best others gave me short term relief but weren't able to fix it. Michael genuinely took the time and effort to find the real issue and then helped guide me through the process to long term results. The man is a STAR!
Thanks for the feedback Jake. We hope you are doing well.
Fantastic experience: Michael has been working with my 16yo since rupturing her ACL last year.. He does an amazing job and genuinely cares about Brookes recovery, and it's not a chore to get her there which is an added bonus for me. She actually enjoys working with Michael in strength and conditioning. Highly recommend.
Michael has enjoyed working with Brooke throughout her rehab, she has been dedicated and hardworking and the results have shown. It is a testament to her hard work.
Fantastic experience: MCAP is a wonderful centre for athletes! Great physios, especially Michael Grbac who has helped me through numerous injuries for years! I would definitely recommend him, he has a genuine interest in his clients wellbeing and will get you back into sport/life ASAP.
Thanks for the feedback Maddie, we hope you are doing well and will always be here for you when you need us.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the small group clinical Pilates classes, which are run by a great team of physiotherapists. I particularly recommend Yana who helped me get my body back together after having two kids.
Thanks for the feedback Sarah. We hope your kids know what an awesome mum they have.
Fantastic experience: MCAP is a fantastic facility with extremely qualified practitioners. Everyone is very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a skilled physiotherapist. In particular Michael who has provided me with superb care throughout my recovery.
Thanks for your feedback Gabrielle. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to the next time we see you.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to these guys for a very long time. I have severe back pain and more recently a neck injury. They are brilliant in what they do and I couldn't recommend them more highly. Their treatment of pain works, but they go beyond this. They devise individual treatment plans and personalise this with professional advice on lifestyle, specifically functional movement. If it wasn't for MCAP I wouldn't be able to maintain my very physical and active job. Also I must mention the extraordinary level of practioners that are at MCAP... they are the best in the business and it truly is a one stop hub. And if they need to refer, they also have this covered with the top medicos in Melbourne. I honestly have to thank them for evrything they do for my physical and mental well being.
We are glad to hear that we have been able to help in such a significant way. We hope you are doing well and will always be here for you if needed.
Fantastic experience: I broke my clavicle and thought it’d never be the same. I was completely wrong thanks to Yana!
Thank you for the feedback.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Adam Larcom and Michael Grbac for regular track sprinting / S&C training for the last 18 months. With their guidance and expertise, I have observed significant and ongoing gains in my athletic performance. MCAP is an elite, top tier gym with exceptional staff and facilities, focused on developing my specific needs as an athlete. Thanks Adam and Michael, really enjoy working with and learning from you guys.
It has been a pleasure working alongside you and watching you grow as an athlete becoming stronger and faster every week! Big things coming!!
Fantastic experience: Michael is very knowledgeable ,he is currently helping me through out my rehabilitation . Extremely happy with my progress
Your progress has been amazing keep pushing and you will be back better than you were before!
Fantastic experience: Michael is a great physio has been looking after me for a number of months now. I highly recommend him and this facility for their expertise.
Thanks Dante. Glad Mike could help you get back at it!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Staff are very friendly, understand your specific needs and work with you to meet these needs. Highly recommend.
Thanks Joel. Look forward to seeing you back in soon!
Fantastic experience: Can't speak for all the physio's, but Yana has been fantastic, she's been really informative about an issue i was having with my knee. The facilities are also great, they have a gym on site so can do proper physical examinations if needed and demonstrations of exercises.
Thanks Thomas. We are glad you are feeling better. We look forward to seeing you again.
Fantastic experience: I had treatment for two different injuries and both times Yana provided excellent care. She was able to give me some immediate relief from discomfort but more importantly provided me with an exercise program that helped me manage my situation. She also gives realistic appraisals of timeframes of recovery and does not suggest endless repeat appointments.
Thank you Colin for such wonderful feedback.
Fantastic experience: These guys are the best! Have had huge success from Yana in coming back from a running injury. It's comforting going to these guys knowing you're going to get results.
Hi Charlotte, thank you for the kind words. Yana is great with runners, we are glad she could help you with your injury!
Fantastic experience: The team at Melbourne Centre for Athletic Performance are first class. I highly recommend them. Especially Michael Grbac who is exceptional and a highly qualified Physiotherapist.
