Docklands Health: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Michael has been doing neuro treatments on 2 of my children for close to six months now. It’s has been noted by others that the kids are calmer, more focused and able to sit quietly in situations where they’d normally be arguing fidgeting and being general menaces. Michael is very patient with the kids and injects humour into the treatments.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dr Micheal. His expertise and treatment have greatly helped relive my back pain.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing Clinical Pilates sessions with Maryam at Docklands Health and she’s absolutely awesome. Super friendly, always smiling, and really patient—nothing’s ever a hassle. She makes the sessions fun but still pushes you in the right way. Feel heaps better after each one.
Fantastic experience: Michael is really good. I went from barely walking to walling straight with little or no pain. Highly recommend everyone who have back pain to come here.
Fantastic experience: I had a brilliant 90min massage by Georgia that was both relaxing and therapeutic. In all my years of having treatments this was one of the best by far. I'll be booking in again!!
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend them enough! The whole team is super friendly and they did an amazing job taking care of my back.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dr Michael. I’ve seen a lot of chiropractors and I’m from Perth just visiting. Great adjustment and great listener too cheers
Negative experience: I had the absolute misfortune of visiting this so-called physio clinic. For starters, when the session commenced, there was no explanation of what we would be doing, nor any investigation into my chronic issue. The physio simply said, "Take your shirt off," and pointed at the treatment bed. I imagine prisoners of war are treated with more respect, let alone paying customers. I clearly told the physio that I had pain on both the left and right sides of my neck and trap area. He only treated one side and conveniently forgot about the other. There was no conversation to explain that the treatment might be painful. Throughout the session, I was gasping in pain and discomfort, but the physio said nothing. Out of nowhere, he started doing chiropractic adjustments without any prior warning about what he was doing. He asked me to relax and then wondered why I was unable to. Maybe because you gave me no warning, had no plan, and randomly attacked painful areas? I often see signs at various clinics saying, "Don’t abuse our staff," which is totally fair, and everyone should be treated with respect. After visiting Docklands Health, I think I should carry around a banner that says, "Please respect the customer, I am paying you." Despicable customer service. Mediocre expertise in physiotherapy. Zero skill in diagnosis. I would highly recommend Docklands Health to people I GENUINELY HATE.
Fantastic experience: We have been to many clinics over the years and this is the best. Highly reccomend
Fantastic experience: Magda was absolutely amazing, she worked MAGIC on my back and shoulders and was so patient and helpful with my questions. She also took my personal injury and training history into consideration, just so thoughtful overall.
Negative experience: Worst customer service received. Umar charged me $130 for a 15mins session and tried to book me for another session. After repeatedly suggesting I have a Medicare rebate option he had no patience to wait or receive the form online as he had other patient waiting. I was not informed about the charges and just asked to sign the consent form in a hurry as I was going through the form. No point going to the clinic as they are only there to make money.
Fantastic experience: I had been struggling with neck and back pain for a long time before I decided to see a chiropractor, and I'm so glad I did. From my first visit, the chiropractor was thorough in understanding my issues and took the time to explain the causes of my discomfort. The treatments were not only effective but also personalized to my needs. After just a few sessions, I started feeling significant relief in my neck, and eventually, my back pain eased as well. What I appreciated most was the holistic approach—along with adjustments, I received helpful advice on posture, stretching exercises, and lifestyle changes that have helped me maintain the results. The professionalism, care, and attention to detail made a huge difference in my recovery. If you are struggling with neck or back problems, I highly recommend this chiropractor.
Fantastic experience: Dr Melinda Wassell has been a tremendous discovery at Docklands Health. Mel has taken the time to really find out how best to address my back and other muscular and skeletal issues. She has used adjustments and dry needling along with some deep tissue work to assist me. As well Mel has made suggestions for me to “take home” and work onto develop my overall physical well-being as part of a shared program of improvement. Mel is upbeat, encouraging and works with a great sense of fun which is sometimes necessary when facing a little pain and tenderness. Mel works with you to get the very best outcomes, and I highly recommend her work. Shout out to Sarah as well for making appointments and changes efficient and accommodating.
Fantastic experience: Mel is simply the best. My body feels so light especially my foot and Lower back are back to motion. Thank you Mel :)
Fantastic experience: Mel saved my shoulder! After a snowboarding injury, her expert care got me back to full strength. Friendly, knowledgeable, and effective - I highly recommend!
Negative experience: Disappointing and frustrating. The first appointment with Dr. Maryam Piso was great experience. I decided to make a second appointment for a Ramedical massage with Sarah. We scheduled it for Sunday at 1 pm. However, after making the appointment, I was told to reschedule it to 12 pm to accommodate a time slot. I accepted the change and arrived early, but there was no receptionist present. I waited until another male staff member finished treating his patient and came downstairs to make a payment. However, he ignored me, offering no greeting or asking for assistance, and went back upstairs. I called Docklands Health and spoke to him on the phone. He eventually came downstairs and informed me that Sarah was busy with other patients, so I couldn't start my treatment until she was finished. He then left without further explanation. I waited another 20 minutes and rang the bell twice but received no response or information about what was happening. If Sarah was busy with another patient or if there was a delay with booking, it would have been considerate to notify me to stick to the 1 pm booking. Never back again.
Hi Vivian, apologies for having a mixed experiences at our clinic. Its great that you enjoyed your time with our Physiotherapist and that it was of benefit to you. And I'm sorry you didn't get to enjoy the benefit of massage as well. We will review what happened and strive to ensure it does not happen again. We would love to see you again and help you on your health journey.
Fantastic experience: Do Magdy trafiłem przez przypadek z dolegliwościami bólowymi pleców. Po wizycie mój stan poprawił się zdecydowanie. Magda przeprowadziła szczegółowy wywiad, podała przypuszczalne przyczyny i wytłumaczyła nad jakimi mięśniami będzie pracować by je rozluźnić i aktywować. Z całego serca mogę polecieć!
Fantastic experience: I have been in a lot of back pain that I was not able to Sit, Stand, walk, sleep and do any other activities in total. I have been referred to Dr Umar Sikander from Docklands Health by my friend. Guess what, in the vest first visit last week my 70% pain gone. He thoroughly listen my problem and then diagnosed the problem and then applied massage for muscle relaxation and did Shock therapy which absolutely worked well for me. As soon as after this session I walked to my home without any issues. Today was my 2nd session and was again diagnosed with progress and provided some exercises to follow to strengthen muscles. Dr. Umar is really genius and he listen and understand problem first and then diagnosed it well. I would really recommend to all who are in still pain, visit him once. It's really a miracle for me because I am able to do multiple activities as compared to the painfull days. Thanks Dr. Umar a lot. God bless you Sir..
Fantastic experience: Dr Melinda Wassell is a highly skilled professional who truly cares about her patients. She took the time to understand my concerns and provided a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to my needs. Her expertise and dedication to patient care are evident in every interaction. I have had experiences with other chiropractors in the past, but I can definitely vouch Melinda to be the best.
Fantastic experience: Melinda is amazing, extremely knowledgeable and really cares about your wellbeing. I would recommend her to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Very quick and provide exercise to help on my issue
Fantastic experience: So professional and efficient! He fixed my back and leg issues. I highly recommend Umar ☺️
Fantastic experience: Umar has excellent physiotherapy skills. Since Umar has been treating me I have greater movement and less pain than I have had over the past 20 years. He is polite, punctual and friendly. Highly recommended .
Thanks so much Trish. Umar is such a great soul and we love that he is such a fantastic physio too! It brings up joy seeing you fly up our stairs now, so much stronger.
Fantastic experience: Dr Umar Sikander is an experienced and friendly physio. He is an excellent communicator and has provided me with helpful advice and a treatment plan which will allow me to return to the sports I enjoy. Highly recommend!
Thanks Vivian, it's fantastic that you have been able to return to sport. Umar is a great physio and super friendly and kind. We love him. Enjoy your sporting activities!
Fantastic experience: I suffered from recurring back pain after competing in the 715 km yukon riverquest canoe race in northern Canada last summer. I saw Magda today for an amazing treatment for immediate pain relief. I can't recommend her enough. I am very thankful to have met her.
Thank you for your kind words Danielle, its great that Magda was able to help you with your back pain through remedial massage. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I cannot reccommend Dr Melinda Wassell highly enough. As an avid Aussie Rules football player for nearly 30 years, in the early 2000s, I experienced a bulged disc injury that, despite being managed, has persisted. Since retiring and losing some fitness, my back has became increasingly difficult to manage, to the point that I was getting chirpractic adjustments 3 times a month. Then one day through sheer necessity of an adjustment to relieve pain, I found Dr Melinda Wassell. She asked me to consider that my issues weren’t steming from my lower spine, but from my hamstring and the nerves running down my legs. After 2 months of appointments I was waking in the morning pain free and being able to maintain multiple weeks of exercise without breaking down. Rather than just running with the status quo she wanted to understand the underlying issue and treat me for the long term as well as the short term. While I am sure she would be benefical for any injury, if you have a long term problem that you are having trouble getting to the underlying issue with I suggest getting in to see Melinda, she has helped me more than i can express here.
Thanks so much Scott for your fantastic review. Mel does love to delve into a patients history and work out what is going on. We love hearinf stories of people recovering from their low back or hamstring injury and through exercise and chiropractic care we can get you back to your best. Thank you so much Scott
Fantastic experience: 15/12/23 - I want to thank Mike not only for his great Chiropractic treatments (which have been life changing). When Mike gives a steer in which of the Therapists can be a good follow up to his treatments, he never gets it wrong. So grateful this clinic exists. ______________ 15/12/23 - An acknowledgement of outstanding customer service by 'Sarah the magnificent' at Docklands Health. Sarah is always accommodating, kind and her bright cheery disposition is always a welcome sight:). _______________ 15/12/23 - A shout out to Eden for her great treatment today. Feeling like a million bucks after the massage and dry needling! _________________________ Very grateful to Chiropractor Michael Edgley who went above and beyond in providing care for my Husband in deciphering an MRI report. Mike was gracious with his time, fanned down our concerns and offered a forward plan to manage my Husband's injury. Seriously, we are unbelievably lucky to have discovered Docklands Health and their wonderful team of caring practitioners. _________ Totally recommend this clinic! Adam sorted my neck, and Aimee the Yoga Instructor has sorted my flexibility!
Thanks Lill. Its great that you and Brian have utilised such an array of the clinic services: Physio, Chiro and Yoga. Aimee loves having you in her classes and it will be great once they restart post COVID.
Fantastic experience: Just moved to Victoria in August and was in need of professional help with some chronic back pains. I found this place after a long google search and booked Mel. She listened to my issues and broke them down, I'm pretty much fixed after probably 5 years of chronic back pain, stomach issues and general niggles I'm pain free and able to do alot more! Highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much for your amazing review. Its great that we can get you out of pain, especially chronic pain. Often people experience stomach and other symptoms when suffering for a long time and chiropractic care can really help with those issues. Thank you very much for your kind words
Fantastic experience: Melinda Wassell is without hesitation my go-to for adjustments. She has an innate curiosity which leads to a deep understanding of how the body hangs together - the more obscure the root cause of an issue, the better - she loves the challenge!. Mel will explain what she’s doing and why and will make practical recommendation on actions to avoid a repeat. She’s strong - you will feel her hands making adjustments, but it’s worth the short term discomfort for longer term relief. I highly recommend Mel’s services.
Thanks Melissa, Mel does really love to question people and delve into their story and body to get the correct answer. Thanks so very much for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Had Omar as my Physio and his professionalism and efficiency are truly appreciated- every time I leave his office I am no longer in pain. Thank you so very much!
Thanks Alexander for your kind words about Umar. Umar is a great Physiotherapist and is fantastic that he was able to get you pain free.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend a visit to Docklands health. Friendly staff, great service. They look after you, got an appointment straight away.
Thank you for your kind words Kaye, we love having you visit us. Its great to help some more complex presentations such as yours and working in collaboration with the local GPs to get people better.
Fantastic experience: I had neck and upper back problems for months , never had this service before and since the first section with Mike, I’m extremely satisfied with the results.
Thank you Xuan, its great to help help with their neck and back pain. We appreciate you every time you are in the clinic and love helping your family.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service provided while treating my shoulder pain. Physiotherapist Umer treated me very skilfully and sorted out all issues step by step in every sitting.
Thanks Sunil, Umar the physio loves helping people with shoulder pain and working through the process as you get better and better. Thank you for your kind words
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! Magda has always provided a friendly and effective service.
Thank your Matthew. Magda is a great massage therapist and we love that your discovered that too. Thank you for your kind words
Fantastic experience: I have had really good experience with Docklands Health! The staffs are incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with. Would strong recommend Melinda and Maryam, they are not only professional also very caring.
Thank you Helene, its great that you discovered the brilliance that is combining chiropractic and physiotherapy care. You are right, Melinda (chiropractic) and Maryam (physiotherapy) are both very caring and want only the best for you. Thank you for your kind words
Fantastic experience: This is a fabulous practice with a range of excellent professional allied health services to keep your body working as it should!
Thank you Linda, we love you in our clinic. Such a ray of light. We love keeping you moving and at your best for all of these years.
Fantastic experience: Mel helped me overcome some pretty serious neck trauma from boxing within a really short period of time. Highly recommend for rehab, chiro or physio
Thanks Cameron. Its great that you have experienced both physio and chiro at our clinic. Chiropractic care for boxing related injuries and maintenance is very common and helps so much. Its great to see you doing so well. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional Physiotherapy Experience with Melinda at Dockland Health I recently had the privilege of receiving physiotherapy from Melinda at Dockland Health, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Melinda's professionalism, friendly demeanor, and exceptional knowledge in physiotherapy made a significant difference in my journey to alleviate back pain. Melinda's friendly approach immediately put me at ease, allowing for open communication and a comfortable atmosphere. Her extensive knowledge and expertise in physiotherapy were evident throughout our sessions, as she carefully explained the treatment plan and its benefits for my specific condition
Thank you for your amazing review. Mel really is a fantastic chiropractor for all the reasons you stated. Its great to see you doing so well under her care. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I am a long distance runner and have been coming to Docklands Health to see Magda for myotherapy as part of my training, preparing for full marathons this year. Magda is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and makes efforts to know each patient on a personal basis. She understands my pain points, and effects treatment that has helped tremendously. I am faster, and stronger because of her now in my training and races!
Thank you Ben. Yes, Magda is a fantastic massage therapist and she loves working with people such as yourself to get them back to doing what they do best. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Melinda Wassell has been a fantastic chiro when treating my back and shoulders for long term pain. Unlike other places that I've been to which involved just a quick crack, Mel takes the time to assess and update my progress. She uses dry needles and her bare hands to keep in deep where it's needed. I always walk out feeling great. I highly recommend her work.
Thanks Matt. You are correct, Mel does love to question and work hard to work out what is going on with people. Its great that Mel was able to help with her chiroppractic care and dry needling care. Thank you for your kind words.
Negative experience: Massage therapy - Good. Laura is recommended. Psychology- AWFUL. The counsellor was very unprofessional, yawning and constantly checking the time during the consultation. He can’t even be bothered to act like he cares and just sits there waiting for the time to pass so he can charge you $$$. Physiotherapist & Group Pilates - TERRIBLE. The therapist obviously came unprepared because she acted like she has never heard of my name and didn’t prepare any exercise for me despite all the previous sessions I had with her and the fact that I made the appointment at least 2 weeks in advance. She is hopelessly arrogant and rude. Please avoid at all costs!
Thank you for your feedback Jenny. We appreciate both the positive and negative experiences as it helps us improve.
Fantastic experience: The chiropractor Dr Melinda Wassell is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled and effective. She’s been able to do adjustments and get my body to work at solving pains I had in various joints over the weeks. She can sometimes solve pains I get in my elbows and thumbs due to the kung fu classes I attend in just a few minutes. For more complex issues, she uses various approaches until she finds what works. If you trust her with solving your issues, I believe you won’t be disappointed! : )
Thanks Guilly for your great review of our Chiropractor. Mel does love to explore all parts of the body and work out what is going on and getting you back to your best. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Couldn't be more grateful for Dr. Melinda. She's not only very knowledgeable and patient with what she does at the clinic but has also been an excellent resource to exploring alternative solutions and finding the wider underlying issues that all relate. Helping me work on making a lot of positive changes beyond just getting a quick treatment.
Thanks Harmanjit for your great review. We love that you discovered Mel's chiropractic care and thinking outside the box. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I want to recommended Dra Melinda. The first time I went to the clinic I had a chronic shoulder pain and headaches and after few sessions my headaches are gone and my shoulder is more better now. She's a great professional and nice person, I highly recommend her 100%
Thank you for your fantastic review Grecia. Its great that you benefited from our chiropractic care to help with your chronic pain in your shoulder and headaches. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr Melinda Wassel & I can honestly say she is the best chiropractor I have ever seen . She is so much more than a chiro , it’s more like she is a Physio , chiro , osteo all in one . She has so much experience & her passion in treating me was just amazing. Very comprehensive treatment & really helped me with my shoulder & back injuries. I cannot recommend her enough, she is truly the best practitioner in this field I have ever come across.
Thank you Luke, we agree that Mel and our Chiropractors are much more that the normal chiro. We pride ourselves on using a multi-modal approach, which makes us look like chiro, physio and osteo. Its great to help people such as you with your shoulder and back injuries. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Miracle! Only took me 1 physio appointment with Mr Umar to be back to my old self. Thank you so much.
Thank you Marilla, its great that Umar was able to help you so efficiently. We look forward to helping you more into the future. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I wanted to write a review about my experience with Dr Melinda Wassell for a while now. I’ve been suffering from neck pain that radiates to my arm and shoulders. It was INTENSE I couldn’t even hold my purse. And I saw different practitioners about it over a couple of years, each of them for months before seeing someone else. They were helpful but just helping me live with my condition and be on the schedule next week. When I saw Melinda she was surprised that I’d been experiencing this pain for that long. She was honest and straightforward she told me that my condition is complicated. But treatable. We tried different types of treatments to find what works best. In a short period I was back to my semi-normal lifestyle. And now I’m lifting weights! a milestone I thought I wouldn’t be able to achieve. What I’m trying to say is that when Dr Melinda sees a problem she’ll do her best to treat it she does NOT aim to keep her patients dependent on her. She aims to see you healthy and happy as soon as possible. Thanks Mel, I appreciate what you did for me.
Thank you for your amazing review Leen. Its great that Mel and her Chiropractic care was able to help you so much. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Michael was super professional and friendly, I was very lucky to have him! My torn ligament recovered so quickly thanks to him!
Thanks for your kind words Alexis. You were dedicated to your recovery and followed the exercises and rehab perfectly, so well done. It was great to use the laser on your tendon as that made a huge impact upon the speed of recovery. All the best and we'll always be here for you!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dr Melinda! She is helping me manage my pain and solve the problem.
Thanks Sandra, yes we agree Mel is just amazing. One of the best Chiropractors you could find with a wealth of knowledge and always wants to get to the root of the cause. Thank you for your kind words and look forward to keeping you fit and healthy into the future.
Fantastic experience: I've been a happy customer of Mike and the team at Docklands Health for many years and highly recommend this clinic for chiro, physio and massage (I'm sure their other services are amazing too!). Such a welcoming friendly environment and superb holistic view to healthcare ❤️
Thanks so much Erin. It has been an absolute pleasure caring for you for almost the last decade with various ailments you present with. Good luck with the move and we will always be here for you.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional knowledge and professional helped fix an extremely painful neck diagnosis work on it and follow up exceeded expectations would highly recommend
Thanks so much Nathan, its always tough injuring yourself over Christmas and we are so pleased we were able to get you back to normal to spend the time with your young family. All the best and we will always be here for you.
Fantastic experience: While seeing Mike for my back l watched a video in his waiting room about bed wetting and spoke to him about my nearly 7 year old granddaughter who was not toilet trained. Mike had an initial consultation and quickly identified that her bladder wasn't getting the messages from her brain. She saw Mike 8 times and through exercise and light therapy he switched on her nervous system. Now not only is she dry during the day but also at night. Her self esteem has gone up tenfold. Our family can't thank you enough Mike
Words cannot express how thankful we are for your kind words and referrals Sue! It great to be able to help so many people in the community, thanks to you and helping to spread how we can help people in ways that many people are not even aware of. Its great having the girls in and see them blossom.
Fantastic experience: Laura has a very relaxing and effective massage technique to relieve muscle tightness.
Thank you Elisabeth. Laura is such an amazing massage therapist and is great we could help alleviate your muscle tightness. We look forward to helping you into the future.
Fantastic experience: I had the most wonderful Remedial Massage from Laura post marathon. I had been experiencing a great degree of lower back pain. Cannot speak highly enough of Laura. She gave a wonderful massage and was very personable and professional in her interactions. Thank you Laura
Thank you for such wonderful words about the amazing Laura. Running and low back pain are a common occurance and its great that remedial massage worked wonders for it. Keep up the running and next time you're down here pop in for another massage!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Melinda for several weeks to address a shoulder injury. She is amazing and I am delighted to be making progress after such a long time especially as I had tried other treatments and had little success!! Mel has been able to work through my symptoms and deduce the cause of my issue, offering a range of treatments and contemporary techniques to get me back on track. Mel is highly skilled, professional, friendly and patient. I trust her to support me through my current injuries and any future issues I have. Highly recommend!!
Thanks for the kind words Naomi. Mel is truely amazing and we love her! A huge array of knowledge and skills such as dry needling / acupuncture. Its great to see you doing so well and look forward to keeping you tip top into the future.
Fantastic experience: Great, friendly and knowledgeable staff who helped me. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a physio. Good, easy location too.
Thanks Alasdair, we love that you benefited from our physiotherapy care. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Melinda has been an amazing help stopping my chronic hip pain with dry needling, massage and advice. My pain originated from mild hip dysplasia and associated issues that finally evolved to chronic pain and inflammation of some small muscles deep inside. I've tried other treatments, but only with Mel's help I started feeling better than ever and was able to resume exercise, when before I had trouble getting off the bed due to sharp pain.
Thanks so much Alex. Its a pleasure having you in the clinic and doing so well with Mel. She us a real chiropractic superstar! Keep us the good work.
Fantastic experience: I have seen Laura several times now for remedial massages and have left feeling better every time. She manages to target all my pain points (including ones I didn't even know I had) skillfully to ensure minimal discomfort and has offered me exercises and tips to help alleviate the stress on my back. Have also had some lovely conversations with her!
Thank you so very much Danielle! It's fantastic that Laura has been so great to help you with massage and getting rid of your pain. We look forward to helping you gong forward.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Magda for a few months on the back of my friend's recommendation who has been seeing her for a long time. My friend and I were preparing for a half marathon in Great Ocean Road over the past 2 months and I have been seeing Magda on a weekly basis leading up to the event day. She has been so impressive and always listened carefully to my needs and tried different things to alleviate my pain points. My friend and I successfully completed the half marathon last weekend and all thanks to Madga who has been fixing us up every week and put our body to the best condition for the run. I can't recommend her enough and she is fantastic at what she does. Thanks Magda ❤️
That's great news Brianna and well done on completing the run. Its fantastic that you found us for massage and that Magda was able to keep you in top shape for the run. We love stories like yours and well done on your hardwork and dedication to your health and wellbeing.
Fantastic experience: I have been a few sessions with Dr. Michael Edgley. I found his method is very efficient and I am getting much better every week. Highly recommend Michael for anyone with chronic pain.
Thanks Jia, we agree, Dr Mike is truly amazing! It's great we can help you with the various things from hand/wrist to shoulder, back and legs. We love it that we can keep you active, especially for ballet.
Fantastic experience: I was really in need of help after being kicked by one of my horses in the back . Even though the scans showed no fractures or internal damage I was in pain moving standing erect . One visit to Carly and the next day I was 60 percent better and had a full understanding of my injury . I am forever grateful for her skills and this business for looking after me . Highly recommended.
Thanks so much Alison, we really enjoyed helping you get better. We agree, Carla is such a great Chiropractor! Good luck back home and we look forward to seeing you the next time you're in Melbourne.
Negative experience: Went for a massage which was for 90minutes however the time spent was 15minutes less.Its started late and finished 10 minutes early.The therapist was not great I did not relax at all during or after the massage.my therapist was laura
Thank you for your feedback Mehak, this is definetely not the usual experience at our clinic. We always learn from our feedback. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Tailored and reassed regularly programs, excellent service. This has help elevate so much of my chronic pain. The sessions involve usually 2 or three people and attention to each participant is wonderful. It's a fun, relaxed and healing environment. I couldn't recommend Maryams services higher!
Thank you for your kind words McGregor, it's great to hear the sessions are enjoyable as well as getting you better! It's fantastic to have such a happy and fun-loving person in our clinic, keep smiling! Its great to see you come in for your physio, chiro, and clinical pilates sessions.
Negative experience: Dr.Mike is a good chrio but charges excessively. His appointment are 15mins max and you are charged the full fee for a short massage and neck crack. Disgraceful. We get it, you are running a business trying to make as much money as you can but the service does not represent fair value for money.
Hi Barry, thank you for your feedback. Just a couple of points for clarification. Due to the nature of the treatment the time is shorter as if we were to treat you for longer the risk of an adverse reaction increases. Its like getting a medication from the GP, they are deciding what dose of medicine to give you. All health practitioners are doing the same. We never bring financial descision into our practice and pride ourselves on providing a cost effective service, in fact lower than average fees. If you have difficultly affording our care, please let us know and we are more than happy to help.
Fantastic experience: I am a new patient at Docklands Health since December. After such a positive experience with physiotherapist Maryam, this clinic is now my ‘go to’ place for all current and future allied health needs. Maryam’s expertise brought a high level clinical assessment and innovative patient care management to my positive progress. My well-being is central to her focus..... she works alongside me in the health recovery journey and as a health professional myself, I feel that this is such an important practitioner trait! I can highly recommend this clinic because of the high standard expertise on offer across the various modalities, further underpinned by their obvious willingness to work alongside their patients with individualised management plans rather than one size fits all approaches .... and all with a listening ear!
Wow, thanks so much Robyn! It's been an absolute pleasure having you in the clinic. You bring a smile to us all and the progress you have made is remarkable. From where you were to where you are now is fantastic. You have done an amazing job. Well done. It's great to see the combination of Chiropractic, Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates can make such a huge impact upon people's lives.
Fantastic experience: Michael helped me with migraine. He has such a warm and friendly personality, and makes everyone feel comfortable. Then throughout my pregnancy, regular pilates with Maryam made a big difference to minimising pain and aches and maintaining balance. I really appreciate Maryam‘s flexibility and personalised care. Also had massage with Laura, she has magical hands for shoulders and necks.
Thanks Chen. It's great having you and Gordan come in for Chiro, physio and Clinical Pilates. You guys do such a great job of raising a young family and staying wholistically healthy. Great job.
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting this clinic since they opened and the team there are great. Regular Pilates with Maryam has improved my fitness and recently had a massage with Laura which was the best.
Thanks Gordan, you can Chen a absolutely great and we love it when you come in for either physio, clinical pilates or massage.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Michael and Clare at Docklands Health for on going back and shoulder problems. Their friendly and professional approach to my wellbeing has corrected several problems, addressed chronic pain and allowed me to maintain a good standard of movement. Cheers
Thanks Ron, our mornings are definitely better when you're in! Bee talk and honey! Thankyou for your support over the years. Especially through covid lockdowns and driving in from the West just to see us. Your dedication to health is admirable.
Negative experience: My experience with the Chiropractor, Michael, was worrying. Practitioners must warn of risks and then the patient decides but he didn’t warn of risks of anything with cracks he performed. He did not warn me of the remote risk of stroke with neck crack he performed on me. My neck was completely fine prior to seeing him but now I am worried that crack he performed on my neck might cause a problem in the future. By law he must have warned me of the 'material risks' of treatments he performed on me.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Docklands Health for long term neck and back issues for close to 12 months now. Claire has been amazing and I have never felt better. Highly recommended.
Thanks for your kind words Brad! We agree, Claire truly is amazing! I love her calming nature and use of aromatherpy in conjunction with remedial massage and myotherapy techniques. Its a combination very rarely seen and it works so well.
Fantastic experience: Exceptionally educative, flexible & friendly Chiros & Physios with new Pilates equipment & plenty of Reformers specialised guidelines & pace, consistent hygienic procedures & genuine support. Recommend the therapeutic massage options also such as remedial, lymphatic, aromatherapy etc by equally qualified staff. Handy central location and not over-booked
Thanks Rachel, we love having you in the clinic and experiencing the reason why we exist. Thats collaborative care and getting you healthier and stronger as fast as we can. Its been amazing to see your progress through Chiropractic care and Pilates. We are very proud of you. Well done.
Fantastic experience: I Would just like to say what an amazing place Docklands Health is. Lovely staff, professional and polite. I had a massage by Laura and she did a wonderful job. I have already booked to go in a couple of weeks time. I hugely recommend this place.
Thanks Olivia, its great that you have found Laura to complement your Chiropractic care.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Michael is the best chiropractor! I have been attending his practise for managing my neck and back issue. I have seen a drastic improvement with his adjustments. I am continually amazed how he exactly hits the right spot causing the pain every single time. I visited him today for my arm pain from 2 weeks. He was immediately able to adjust it and i feel so much better instantly. He’s an expert!! I highly recommend Dr.Michael for any chiropractic needs!!
Thanks Neethu, the clinic is definitely a brighter place where you're in. Its a pleasure to be able to get you out of back pain and neck pain. It was fun working on your arm (shoulder elbow and wrist). Great to hear it's doing so well.
Fantastic experience: Michael helped me in a time where my migraines where getting worse. Since my first visit i have noticed a major improvement and I can not thank Michael enough for all his help. Recommend him highly.
Thanks very much Natalie, we love that you have found your Chiropractic care to be very helpful. Its great when people are dedicated to their care like you and still jump on your bike to travel the 45 minutes to see us. We look forward to helping you long term.
Fantastic experience: I have come here for two separate injuries, one being an injury for my neck and the other for my back. Both times I have had work done on me by Amanda Olsen and I can't express enough how great she is at what she does. Each first session I have come in with a decent level of pain and minimal ability to move also, by the end of each session I have walked out feeling significantly better and am on a quick road to recovery from there. She is easy to communicate with and helps you out with anything you may need. As you can tell I highly recommend Amanda, she is amazing.
Hello Richard, thank you for your kind words about your care here at Docklands Health. We agree that Amanda, our Physio, is truely great too! Our team of health professionals are always happy to get you back to your best. We look forward to helping you and any friends or family you recommend to us.
Fantastic experience: Great staff, very friendly!
Thanks for the kind words Ethan. We really appreciate you being a regular visitor to Docklands Health for both Chiropractic and Physiotherapy care. We look forward to seeing you continue to improve your health and wellbeing.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Mike for around six months for chiropractic work and adjustments. This coupled with an exercise programme away for the surgery has me in far better shape than before. Stiff necks are a thing of the past.
Thanks Cam, its always a pleasure when you come in and it definetely brightens our early mornings. We cannot wait to get some sport back on the TV soon, so the Aussie's can get back to beating the kiwis!
Fantastic experience: Great and friendly staff that know their trade very well. They've never pushed product and can pint point and relieve issues quickly with little to no discomfort. They also accommodate for busy schedules
Thanks for the kind words Steve. Its been a pleasure to help you with our Chiropractic and massage over the years. We look forward to continuing that.
Fantastic experience: I went to Mike with severe sciatica induced pain. I got better and better with sessions and my flexibility and mobility improved greatly. I recommend Docklands health for all your chiropractic needs.
Its always a pleasure to help you and your wife out Aneesh. You guys are just lovely. The massage team love you two as well and can't wait to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love my regular appointments with Mike. The premises are modern, clean and access to lots of other services such as Pilates.
Always fun your you're in the clinc Cheryl! Making me hungry discussing local lunch option while getting your Chiropractic adjustment. See you soon!
Fantastic experience: Great service, friendly & nice staff. I go there regularly for chiro, physio & pilates. Service has been excellent throughout, totally recommend.
Thanks Carolien, we love having you in the clinic and getting your Chiropractic adjustment after doing the Clinical Pilates with the Physiotherapists.
Fantastic experience: It’s been my go to place for everything that’s got to do with my body. Dr. Michael Edgley has been my chiropractor for over 2 years now. He helped me recover from my back issues and kept me in check ever since. The receptionist Katrina is the sweetest person and very hospitable, always there to help at any point. Recommend this place to everyone!
Thanks Sandeep, its great having you in and discussing cricket. Hopefully this summers schedule doesn't get disrupted too much. Katrina was very pleased with your complement. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: Everything you need in the same spot. Lovely fresh environment, the best team of people and personal service. Would rate 10 stars + if I could!
Oh how we miss you Blair. Why did Flight Centre have to relocate offices :( We absolutely love the plant you gave us and is lovingly cared for on our reception desk. We wish you all the best and hope to see you again. Say hi to Jacques for us.
Fantastic experience: I have scoliosis, a bulging disc, slight lordosis and vertigo; I have been seeing Michael for almost 3 years to get adjusted and occasionally to help with my vertigo episodes. I recommend him to anyone who asks me for a experienced chiropractor. His level of knowledge and professionalism sets him apart from the rest. He has helped me recover from a number of injuries and now I live a very active lifestyle safely and I don’t have any issues with day to day activities. I don’t know what I would do without him and I can’t thank him enough. - UZI -
Wow Ozmaa, such kind words. We love having you in the clinic and love the challenges of the various questions you throw at us. It'll be great to get the gyms open again and stronger and fitter than ever before.
Fantastic experience: I have only been a few Times so far, but the service is great and I am feeling heaps better.
Thanks Jake, it was great having you in and we hope you enjoyed your trip around the theme parks. We were extremely jealous! Can't wait to here all about it. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: Great service and treatment. I have regular adjustments. I would recommend this approach especially if you are in an office environment
Always a pleasure having you in the clinic Steve. Its great chatting about the various Tax and life related topics we harp on about during your Chiropractic appointments. The massage and physio teams also appreciate you and the rest of the extended family.
Fantastic experience: My own experience with Michael has been an absolute game-changer for my back, which had gotten so bad because of me working as a chef. Mike has helped me fixed my back followed by the poor posture. Definitely recommended!
Thanks Khoi, its always a pleasure helping the chef community over the years. You guys need Chiropractic care with all the strain you put on your bodies. Its also been great to help Van out with her jaw and TMJ problems. Thank-you
Fantastic experience: Based on a few places of chiropractors I have experienced, I have found this place to be the best. Simply due to the analysis of the body, movement and posture first before treating and adjusting for maintaining optimal posture.
Thanks Glen, its great having you in after your doctor recommended us. Thank you for being so kind, friendly and great company all this time.
Fantastic experience: This is so good to have such a great clinic in Docklands. Mike and the team are great to deal with and its so handy having all of these services in one area and I can just pop down during lunch. Thank you
Thanks Karleen, its an absolute pleasure having you in the clinic and chatting about the girls and how they are growing up so fast. The massage and chiropractic team really enjoy seeing you and look forward to every visit with you.

Always a pleasure keeping your body right Justin to keep you in the bike. Thank you for all the cycling tips and hearing about your mammoth ride. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: so good for Docklands to have this fresh new practice operating. The masseur, Jo, is professional, thorough, intuitive and knowledgeable. I have been to her on a number of occasions and the experience is consistently excellent. I would highly recommend her, particularly as a sports masseur. and a BIG bonus, compared to many practices, they run on time. Many thanks and see you next time :)
Thanks for the kind words Stella. Its great having you in as a community leader. The massage team enjoy every visit from you.
Fantastic experience: The clinic is clean and professionally run. I had dry needling treatment with Adam the physiotherapist for foot pain and the pain has now gone :) Adam is extremely knowledgeable, professional and committed to patient outcomes.
Thanks for the kind word Kim. Adam sure if knowledgable and the whole Physiotherapy team love a good foot pain challenge.
Fantastic experience: I am a new patient at Docklands Health after trying varies therapies for chronic migraines. The clinic is very professional and customer service friendly. So far my treatments with Mike have been successful in reducing my pain and informative about the treatments I receive at each session. I would definitely recommend Mike and his clinic for his chiropractic expertise and other services on offer.
Thank you for the kind words Vanessa, we loved seeing you in the clinic and enjoyed seeing you deal with your migraines in a much improved manner through Chiropractic care. Hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I have been a chiropractic patient of Mike’s for about 6 months now and have had a fantastic experience. Throughout my entire life, I have suffered from severe headaches and migraines, which have had a serious impact on my quality of life and had only worsened with time, age, and increased stress at work. I have tried numerous prescription medicines and nothing has worked. This is why I decided to try their sister facility Docklands Chiropractic, and have now transitioned to the Docklands Health facility. In this time, Mike as a professional chiropractor and experienced neuroscience expert has been able to identify key problem points and their relationship to my nervous system (impacting headaches and migraines), as well as suggest many simple lifestyle tips to improve my nervous system, spinal and further systems health. We started with an initial consultation, then made a plan for biweekly appointments for the first 4-5 weeks, weekly appointments for a further few weeks, and then appointments every 2-4 weeks depending on circumstances (please note everyone’s health is different - this was just the plan I took). This has made a tremendous impact on reducing my migraines and headaches, the first time I have ever experienced this level of improvement to my health. Mike is also just a lovely and genuine person who is very easy to communicate with, always happy to answer questions and give you feedback on how your chiropractic health is progressing. Everyone else I have encountered at Docklands Health is also very friendly.
Thank you so very much for your kind words Taylor. I love your inquisitive questions and our chats about various health and nervous system related topics. Can't wait to see you again after COVID.
