Melbourne CBD Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine Clinic

Fantastic experience: I worked with Eliza for a few months. She is one of the best physios I've ever worked with! She was so helpful and helped address the core issue behind my ongoing foot problems. 10/10 would see again, although I hope I never do!

Fantastic experience: My regular Physio suggested I consult Matthew about my ankle injury. I was immediately impressed by Matthew’s analysis of my injury and the recovery program and exercises that he suggested I follow over the next couple of weeks until I see him again. I am confident that under his guidance I can be back cycling and eventually playing tennis in the shortest possible timeframe.

Fantastic experience: I have been receiving physio treatment from Eliza W at Melbourne CBD and the improvements have been astonishing. The set-up is geared towards exercises to treat underlying issues, and the gym is full of cutting-edge equipment. The location is fantastic and the whole team is first class. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Fantastic experience: Incredible. Saw Nicolas Cross and the team at Melboune CBD Physiotherapy and was amazed at how nice everyone was and by the detailed information I got. After battling an injury for the last several years, Nic has given me personalised exercises and knowledge to get back on track. Thank you again Melbourne CBD!

Fantastic experience: Eliza is very committed to making positive changes in your health , She sets realistic goals and doesn't overcomplicate treatment programs. I have made very good progress and feel that I have been heard at every appointment

Fantastic experience: From my initial session to my ongoing recovery/training Eliza Whitford has consistently demonstrated thoroughness and professionalism in her work. She provides precise diagnoses, including the scientific names of muscles, which reflects her deep expertise as a physiotherapist. Additionally, she expertly utilizes available equipment to accurately assess and create a recovery plan tailored to your needs. I'm truly grateful to Eliza for her expertise and support throughout my healing. You're the best, Eliza!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Eliza she was by far the best physiotherapist I have ever met and she really knows what she is doing I would 100% recommend her

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Eliza and the team at Melbourne CBD physio I’ve been feeling a big change in my lower back and hip injury with a personalized program to fit my routine and schedule. Very knowledgeable and would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic people and even better results. All the staff show a genuine interest in my health as well as my strengthening. As someone who is very active I rely on them to help me through any injuries and support me in injury prevention. 10/10

Fantastic experience: The Physiotherapy at Melbourne CBD is a place where the Phsyio’s work collectively to cater to your individual needs. I’ve personally found that the activities/information I’ve been taught and shown have improved the way my body function in on court scenarios. I highly recommended this place as there the best going around.

Fantastic experience: Here’s your text with some minor corrections: I have only been working with Nick for a couple of weeks now, but in our first consultation session, he blew me away. I have battled with hip, back, and groin pains for almost 10 years that got so bad that I haven’t played sports for the past 4 years. Every physio was almost close to the same results, leaving me gutted as I was making almost no progress and kept being told the same things with no progression. That was until I met Nick. Now, usually, I wouldn’t jump the gun, but in the first session, he gave me a full diagnosis of EXACTLY what was wrong and how we could get me back to doing what I love. And the results so far have been promising. I still have a long road ahead, as the issues I have caused many problems all over my body. But I now feel confident in the road ahead and can’t wait to share more feedback in 6 months from now.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I arrived in Matthew’s office I knew I was in safe hands. He took the time to listen to how my injury occurred and asked me about what my goals for my ankle were and what activities I wanted to get back to. After conducting a thorough assessment of my ankle, Matthew explained in simple terms what had happened to my ankle and what we were going to do to fix it. Less than 2 months of rehab, I am now back running, playing sport and even went rock climbing the other day. I am very happy with Matthew’s care and have full confidence in my ankle again.

Fantastic experience: Eliza killed it and always does, highly recommend, cheers

Fantastic experience: Eliza Whitford was absolutely fantastic during my recent year long injury rehab. She went above and beyond to make sure I could get back on the trails safely and now I'm faster and stronger than ever. I highly recommend her and this clinic!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Elizaford for more than half a year now, since my knee surgery. She is very responsible and passionate during the sessions. She has profoundly helped me in my journey to regain leg strength and return to sports. I couldn't have completed this rehab without her help throughout the entire process. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: This clinic was recommended to me by some fellow skaters at the rink after an old injury prevented me from progressing. Eliza Whitford has been nothing but thorough and professional - she not only gives an accurate diagnosis (including the scientific names of muscles, showcasing her deep knowledge as a physio), but also expertly utilises the equipment available to quantify this and demonstrate exercises. For my particular case, she found that my legs had a 30% difference in strength, putting me on a manageable routine (thoughtfully considering my access to gym equipment etc. and adding notes to ensure I have correct technique), which has now evened out my legs completely! I'm so incredibly thankful to Eliza for her expertise and support during my healing. You're the best physio, Eliza

Fantastic experience: I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Eliza Whitford! Cannot recommend highly enough! I had a really rough experience with previous care team after a delayed diagnosis of tendon tears, and then consistent dismissal of my pain which resulted in chronic nerve pain issues and a stubborn tear. I started seeing Eliza last year - what breath of fresh air! She absolutely advocates and fights for her clients! I have other pre-existing conditions which she is helping me get to the bottom of, and get advice and diagnosis from other physicians where it’s appropriate (so now I have a lovely care team beyond this practise as well) - writes an absolute killer referral, shout out to Dr Liam West also truly great! And of course proving treatment and building a program that works for me - always found it hard to find a physio that is able to understand and work so well with my limitations while also being able to push me to do so much more! I’ve thrown a lot at her and she has been really knowledgeable with issues such as hyper mobility, knee pain (mine is from chondromalacia) spine issues (such as ankylosing spondylitis) and nerve pain - just to name a few. Eliza is kind, supportive and ever inspiring me that I will get there (even when my body decides otherwise). She always makes me feel heard and validated. Would give 10/10 if I could :)

Fantastic experience: I saw Michael for a sprained ankle, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. He took the time to explain everything in detail, from the recovery process to exercises to strengthen my ankle. He’s great at breaking down the steps and giving clear advice on what to do at home to support your recovery. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: As a pro basketballer, I have a whole host of issues and injuries to deal with, along with juggling a large training demand. Xavier, with expertise in many areas along with a basketball background, is perfect to help me stay on top of my injuries while optimising my training! The state of the art equipment for exercise and diagnostics at the clinic is another big plus! Can't recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Couldn't speak more highly of Nick, Tim and the team at Melbourne CBD. Had visited multiple physio's previously about a knee injury with no answers, but saw the team at Melbourne CBD and had some within the first session. Wouldn't ever consider going anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Melbourne CBD Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine is fantastic! Xavier has been amazing in helping me improve my body strength, especially in my legs. His personalized approach and expertise have made a huge difference in my progress. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: The support and treatment I have received when coming to Melbourne CBD Physio has been unmatched. After suffering with an injury for months, Nick was able to diagnose me and put me in the right direction with the right hamstring tendinopathy diagnosis and recovery.

Fantastic experience: A friend recommended I see Nick Cross after battling a long term injury that wasn’t improving. I’ve seen Nick and Dr Liam West at the clinic and I would highly recommend both. The clinic has state-of-the-art equipment and the whole team create a great atmosphere. Nick has been so impressive since the first appointment where he correctly diagnosed my injury and has been completely supportive throughout the rehab process. Now stronger and pain-free, I’m looking forward to continuing to improve and get back to competitive running. If you’re an athlete, don’t think twice, this is the clinic you should be at!

Fantastic experience: Easily the best Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine Clinic I've ever been to! As an injury plagued middle-distance runner, I was recommended to see Nick Cross by a close friend after years of achilles and lower leg issues. I was so impressed by his incredibly detailed and comprehensive assessment, diagnosis and potential cause/s for my injuries, and most importantly the treatment plan moving forward. Nick and his team are highly motivated, hard-working and passionate professionals who are determined to help anyone that walks through the door. They operate out of a world-class facility with access to the best rehabilitation and performance technology in the game. Can't speak highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Amazing!! Cannot recommend the team down at Melbourne CBD Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine Clinic enough! Nic Cross and his team went above and beyond to ensure I received the best treatment and results to further my athletic career. I left feeling confident in what my next steps were with personalised treatment options and strengthening exercises! Highly recommend visiting Melbourne CBD to anyone wanting to achieve their best!

Fantastic experience: I recently saw Nick for a complex, long-standing injury I have seen multiple health professionals for in the past. Nick was incredibly thorough is his assessment and treatment, utilising the clinics state of the art equipment and expertise to put together a comprehensive and targeted individualised plan to address my issues. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The best Physiotherapy clinic I have ever been to. An incredible team of very experienced staff who look after many elite athletes! I could not recommend them enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Liam west and Nicholas cross were amazing. Such a great team and process to support me with getting a quick diagnosis. I now look forward to rehabbing with them in their amazing facility

Fantastic experience: I've seen many physios in my time as an athlete and post sport and Nick Cross is the most thorough, passionate and results based I've ever seen. I came to him with a very unclear problem, and walked away with confidence that I'll be back running again soon. Saved myself many consults by investing in one session with him.

Fantastic experience: As an elite track athlete I need the best help I can get and the past couple of months have been just that, working closely with the director Nick Cross not only to overcome injuries and get back to running but to come back better and stronger then ever. I could not possibly recommend a better Physio than Nick. Helping me overcome injuries and strengthening my weaknesses, Nick has made me feel confident coming back from a hamstring injury. I could not possibly think of better place to be, and cannot thank them enough for their help.

Fantastic experience: Nick and the team at MelbourneCBDPhysio have consistently gone above and beyond with their care of the athletes that I’ve sent their way. Detailed and comprehensive analysis of what’s going on with the body, and having the ability to look past the injury and look at the genuine cause. In depth planning around how to over come the issue and make the body robust and resilient to the stresses of high speed running. My athletes from Qld have travelled to Melb to be looked after by such a good team. We’re always genuinely appreciative.

Fantastic experience: A huge thank you to Melbourne PBD Physio!! Nick and Tim have been amazing in assisting me though my acl reconstruction and rehab program. They know how to work with my competitive nature but also say things how they are, with no sugar coating. I always feel well looked after and that they truly care about my recovery process. The lovely receptionists are always super helpful and happy to help too!!

Fantastic experience: After receiving a recommendation from a friend, I saw Nick for a running injury that had been misdiagnosed by another physiotherapist. I’ve now been seeing Nick for over a year now. I can’t speak more highly of Nick and the team; they are friendly, compassionate, and provide expert programs, guidance, and advice. I felt a renewed sense of confidence after Nick found the root cause of my injury. I have been able to return to running and set some goals for the year ahead, with regular check ins to monitor my progress and adapt my training program. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr Hussein Khan in relation to both a knee problem and bursitis of the hip. His treatment has been so effective and his manner and accessibility delightful. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and supportive. Thank you Hussein. I would recommend him highly.

Fantastic experience: This place was recommended to me by a very close friend of mine and due to having lower back pain, I decided to tag along for a session with Aris. I can't commend Aris enough for his ability to identify my imbalances and lower back pain, without being told about them, and guiding me with better ways to train. His incredible knowledge and advice has given me confidence in training not only for fitness purposes but also longevity. Aris was both informative and encouraging during our session. I've had a very positive experience at the Melbourne CBD Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic and I'm looking forward to more sessions. I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Aris for my myotherapy sessions, and I can confidently say that he deserves a 5-star review. His expertise in myotherapy, focus on strength and conditioning, and commitment to prehabilitation truly set him apart. Aris's dedication to helping me achieve my wellness goals has been exceptional. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking top-notch care in these areas.

Fantastic experience: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ So grateful to have found CBD Physiotherapy for my daughter. Amazing attention to detail in helping her recover from a chronic illness, building bone and muscle strength in an inspiring and positive environment. Her smiles as she improves, are priceless, Thank you

Fantastic experience: I came to Melb CBD physio for help with a hip arthritic pain after seeing the world class facility they have, such as the Alter G. Lucky enough I had Nick who really wanted to help me. He and his team are super knowledgeable and very friendly. I travel 2 hours to see Nick which is 100% worth it.

Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Nick and the team. I have a reoccurring, long standing pain issue in my back that I have seen numerous people about over nearly a decade. Within the first few minutes of my initial consult with Nick, he proposed an alternate reason for my pain, which was then validated by X-Rays and as we have begun the process of rehabilitating this issue my pain levels have begun to subside almost immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nick and the clinic.

Fantastic experience: Post Achilles tendon surgery I was recommended physiotherapist Nick Cross for my rehabilitation. Nick is super attentive, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, I felt safe and excited to begin my personalised rehabilitation program in the high performance gym at the venue. I love my program, the gym, the people and we are all there for the rehab. No waiting for the machines like a regular gym and if you ever need assistance the physiotherapist are there on hand. Loving my rehab program from Nick, there is so much to do to get me back to the fitness I require for my job as a full time Dance Lecturer and my well being. He regularly checks in while I’m working out, reassuring my progress. highly recommend Melbourne CBD Physiotherapy and Nick Cross.

Fantastic experience: Have been going to Melbourne CBD Physio for the past year and highly recommend the team. Came to see Aris for myotherapy back in June 2022 with multiple injuries stemming back from a severe knee injury in 2019. Aris has played a big part in my rehabilitation process as well as providing expert advice and treatment, as well as setting realistic goals and timelines. Have also begun doing strength training with Aris, with Aris being very instructive and encouraging, while tracking my progress and results and using the data collected to continue to tailor the training to my specific needs and goals. My interactions with Nick and some of the Melbourne CBD Physio staff have been positive, and Dee has been a great help. The facilities and equipment are excellent and at a professional sports level, making sessions even more enjoyable. And as an extra, Aris gives great food recommendations although his choice of sports teams is questionable. Will continue to go to Melbourne CBD Physio and highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

Fantastic experience: Nick and the team should be your first stop for anything sporting/injury related. Nick has gone above and beyond for me all year. The team are super highly educated and trained, dealing with elite athletes on a daily basis. I cannot recommend Nick highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Nick for his help in treating my Achilles issues. I am a 400m sprinter who hasn't been able to train or compete at 100% for some time now due to the difficulty with treating this ongoing injury. Nick took the time to understand my injury and my goals and he developed a treatment plan that was tailored to my individual needs. He made sure that I understood everything about my treatment and what the path would look like going forward providing realistic timelines and milestones. He used a data-driven and evidence-based approach, which gave me confidence in his methods which others who had treated me previously failed to do. He was also very attentive to fine details and meticulous with the data collection process. The cherry on top: Nick was a former sprinter himself which meant he could sympathise with my situation and the emotional toll that injuries like this can take on an athlete. I am beyond grateful to Nick for the time he's taken outside of clinic hours to help me and the hope he's given me. He truly has gone above and beyond and I know that I can call on him for guidance whenever I need it. Above all else, he's a down to earth interesting bloke! Cheers Nick and the Melbourne CBD Physio Team!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the team at Melbourne CBD physio! Been coming here for the past 8 months and the improvements in the gym and on the track are second to none. Nick and the team are all extremely skilled clinicians and work out of an amazing facility!

Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Nick and his team enough in the fast & thorough treatment of my son. After a miss diagnosis from an ultrasound clinician and thinking the worst we were put in contact with Nick. He was not only accommodating in taking an after hours phone consult but also set us up with an appointment the next day to see his colleague Liam West. What an amazing wealth of knowledge these guys have. So good at explaining the diagnosis and definitely know how to make a young man feel at ease. Can’t thank them enough for seeing us so quickly and the follow up from Nick has been greatly appreciated. We have also seen Tim Sayer before for a separate issue and he is also equally as good. Just goes to show that seeing the right people who specialise in sports medicine really does make a difference in being treated correctly.

Negative experience: I came in for a simple ankle sprain which occurred a few weeks before to seek for advices on rehab exercises. I saw Holly, who was lovely and attentive. She assessed my ankle thoroughly and decided to have her senior colleague, Nick, come over to continue the assessment. To my surprise (given the number of high-rating reviews on here), Nick came across quite rude, arrogant, and inattentive. After the assessment, Nick told me that I needed to purchase and use a moon boot from the clinic and that I would need to be referred to the ‘sports doctor’ in the clinic. This surprised me given that I have been told by doctors at the Alfred hospital and my GP numerous times and following multiple medical scans that my ankle is healing well on its own. This wasn’t an issue at first as I would trust the opinion of a senior physiotherapist, but I would soon feel much more uncomfortable when Nick was showing me photos and videos of another client’s ankle surgery as the consequence if I did not follow the suggested plan. The experience left me feeling that the clinic is very corporatised rather than being patient-centred. Since this appointment, having sought out second-opinions from other medical professionals including my GP and other physios and osteopaths, I came to learn that my issue was oversold to me by the team at Melbourne CBD and that I was not the only one who had this experience here. I am now continuing my recovery where I feel much more welcomed. I would not recommend this place to my family and friends. For those reading this, I would suggest having a discussion with your treating team prior and seek thorough advice before paying a high price here.

Fantastic experience: Had quite a complicated knee injury which Nick and the rest of the team easily diagnosed and put a plan in place. Also, post surgery the state of the art gym and machines (some that I’ve only seen previously at professional sports clubs) allows for peace of mind knowing you’re getting the best treatment available.

Fantastic experience: I had an appointment with Holly yesterday and she was great! She was super nice and she explained everything on an easy way to understand for the patient. Also went for another appointment with Nick and he was just as good, great humour and you can tell his wide knowledge. I totally recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Went to see the team at Melbourne CBD Physio for my persistent knee pain. Tim was amazing and explained everything really well. Awesome facilities and the team was fantastic! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Nick and his staff at Melbourne CBD Physio have done an amazing job at fixing and treating any issues that my daughter has had. When she broke her collarbone Nick helped immensely with organising a surgeon that specialises in trauma. As an athlete and as she approaches her recovery process I have no doubt that my daughter is in the best hands with Nick and his staff. Thank you for all your help and I highly recommend Melbourne CBD Physio if you require professional expert advice and treatment.

Fantastic experience: Jeremy is hands down the best allied health practitioner I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen countless. More physios than I can count on my fingers). He goes above and beyond, listens intently and has 0 judgement. I couldn’t speak highly enough of him!

Fantastic experience: Saw Nick after months of back pain and he found the cause in my first session, I should’ve gone sooner. Highly recommend Nick and the team.

Fantastic experience: From the minute you walk in, immediately you know this is a world class facility. This is only surpassed by Nick Cross and his team of absolute professionals you will feel comfortable, informed and in the best possible care. Nicks truly passionate about what he does and the care for his patients is obvious, his incredible knowledge and attention to detail will give you full confidence you are in the right place. I’m so thankful I have found Nick and the team at Melbourne CBD Physio, also a big thanks to Dee in reception and Aris, awesome Myotherapist. Hands down the best team in the country!

Fantastic experience: I am beyond impressed with the team at Melbourne CBD Physio. Having suffered a few sports injuries during last year I have been unable to see any improvement until seeing Nick & his team. Between the combination of expert knowledge & outstanding facilities I highly recommend Melbourne CBD Physio.

Fantastic experience: Nick is awesome, the facilities are world class and the team is exceptional. I recommend Melbourne CBD physio to everyone.

Fantastic experience: I have seen Nick at Melbourne CBD Physio since I moved to Melbourne two years ago and his treatment and advice has led to me feeling the strongest and having the longest injury-free period in my life. Nick's style is passionate and technical, but he is also very approachable. As someone who likes to understand the mechanics of the human body and how it can improve my running, his technical style suits me. But he also makes me feel comfortable and motivated as he pushes me to improve. I'd say Nick has been a major reason for me dropping from a 45 minute 10km runner when I first saw him to now nearly being able to break the 40 minute barrier. A shoutout to the great admin team too!

Fantastic experience: I’ve recently started going to Melbourne CBD physio, and I can’t speak highly enough of the team. So knowledgeable and so helpful to me achieving my rehab goals. Would highly recommend anyone in their team. Nick has helped me every step of the way and can’t thank him enough.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Melbourne CBD Physio! Came in regarding an ankle injury, being a ruptured Achilles tendon. Dr. Nick Cross was very clear and concise about the options and was very accomodating. Emphasising the need to progress at a faster pace, I was referred out to one of the specialists within Nick’s network. The level of care definitely helped with feelings of uncertainty, and I felt confident I was receiving the best advice available. I look forward to continuing my recovery at Melbourne CBD.

Fantastic experience: My experience at Melbourne CBD Physio has been great! Nick Cross is an an incredible Physiotherapist who is helping me through my injury providing the best care and support that is right for me. I am so grateful for his help! And reception are super nice : )

Fantastic experience: Big thank you to Nick Cross and the team at Melb CBD. I have been a patient of Nicks for a few months now and I am so impressed with his level of expertise and attention to detail. He listened to my story, accurately assessed and diagnosed me, and has put me on a rehab plan that is specific and individualised to my goals. The state of the art facilities and equipment are a huge bonus, but it’s the clinicians that will keep me coming back. Thank you I can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the expert team at Melbourne CBD Physio. I saw Nick Cross after rupturing my achilles earlier this year and he gave me a comprehensive plan to get me back to walking and running. As a physiotherapist myself, I was extremely impressed by his level of care, knowledge, expertise and compassion throughout the rehabilitation process. Melbourne CBD Physio's purpose built facility is also amazing and provided a real elite athlete experience, which allowed me to objectively track my strength throughout my rehab journey. More recently, I attended Melbourne CBD Physio's "The Traumatic Knee: A New Era In Diagnosis and Rehabilitation" course, run by Dr Tim Sayers and facilitated by the Melbourne CBD physio team, and it far exceeded my expectations. The level of detail and thought that went into structuring the course, the inclusion of lectures from surgeon's and the in-depth exploration of factors that influence rehabilitation has enhanced my understanding of traumatic knee presentations and developed my clinical reasoning.

Negative experience: I booked in appointment to see Nick Cross after seeing multiple great 5 star reviews on here. I have been searching for the best physio clinics in hopes to help me cure my leg pain that I’ve had for years. The receptionist was super friendly and welcoming, but for some reason the minute Nick called my name I could feel it wouldn’t be the great session as I had hoped. I am generally a happy and smiley person and get along great with anyone. I brought a friendly energy when I first met him, but he seemed like he already disliked me, was arrogant and made me feel like I didn’t know what I was talking about - how he explained things as if I was stupid or less than. He just made me feel overall uncomfortable. It was surprising because I had specifically picked to see him because I had read amazing reviews mentioning his name on here. I don’t know if that’s just how he is, he’s had a bad day or if it’s because I am asian that he had treated me differently (which would be disappointing if that were the case). I walked out feeling I had wasted $90 to see someone who didn’t make me feel great and I would never give business to anyone who made me feel that uncomfortable and talked at as if I was less than. I can’t imagine he is this way to everyone because there are great reviews on here and precisely why I even sought out this specific clinic in the first place. People can feel if you treat them a certain way. Most people would never say a thing and you would never even know, they just wouldn’t come back. I can’t say what it’s like with the other practitioners, I wish I had seen someone else instead, maybe it would have been an entirely different experience. But I honestly thought I made the best decision by going to Nick seeing his history and reviews. But it just wasn’t the case. --- In response to the owner’s reply (12/10/22): The times that you have called, I have been at work. There is nothing else that even needs to be said or can be said on your behalf because it is Nick’s word/perception against my experience. I have been to chiros, physios, podiatrists, myotherapists, other health practitioners (regularly for years), so I understand what a consultation is like as I have been to countless ones. I have also been a past personal trainer and boxing coach (so I have coached and trained other people similarly with technique, mobility etc). I’ve had multiple health practitioners explain, ask me questions and diagnose me. So I am not new to these appointments. I know the difference between feeling welcomed, safe and heard (whilst still educating and helping) and when I am not. No one can say what happened because they weren’t there besides the two people that were. Even if there is a zero tolerance of discrimination there is always unconscious bias. It is just again gaslighting to say that I had ‘perceived’ your communication and explanation to be arrogant. I don’t just throw around that word for fun or for the heck of it. Even writing this review is exhausting. I had gone out of my way to write this because I obviously had a bad experience.

Fantastic experience: Nick has given me the confidence to resume everyday activities again! Having suffered repeated hamstring injuries, I came to Nick in search of some help. Nick not only gave me a differential diagnosis within the first session, but set up a session plan with continual support both in and out of sessions over the course of 2 months which has given me the confidence to get back to being my best self again. The road to recovery is long, but Nick and the team have made (and continue to make) sure I am supported during the entire journey with expert advice and going above their duties with a tonne of extra support outside of sessions which has been above and beyond anything I could have asked for. I now feel more in control of my condition thanks to Nick. He is both an absolute professional and a great person and I could not have asked for much more!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely recommend these guys. Nick Cross has helped me significantly with my rehab following a broken ankle and syndesmosis repair surgery. He has been an incredibly beneficial in my recovery and has given me clear and realistic directions and timeline that has aided me enormously in my recovery. Has a great manner and approach to being aggressive too excel in getting better, but not going over board in order to go too hard. Trust his expertise greatly. They also have exceptional facilities assisting with my strength work with lots of Keiser equipment. Have also previously also used Chris Hibbert in relation to knee trouble from running. Great expertise and helped me recover fully.

Fantastic experience: Injuring an ACL can be daunting and stressful but Physio Nick Cross has been amazing in guiding me through the early stages after my ACL injury, before getting me in to see a surgeon that was great recommendation! Having now had the surgery I’m looking forward to progressing through the ACL rehab criteria in their well equipped gym! Incredibly grateful for Nick’s service

Fantastic experience: Nick and the team at CBD physio were amazing! Thorough, very professional and caring. Incredible facilities! Fantastic practice!

Fantastic experience: Nick and the CBD Physio Team went over and beyond assisting with my treatment. Initially, going in for a running assessment, I was highly impressed with the specificities of the exercises and equipment used to evaluate. Then, Nick quickly identified a significant injury inhibiting my performance. Working closely in a matter of weeks with a treatment plan I managed to return to sport and continue to build strength both for performance and injury rehabilitation. Happy to have trust in a friendly team that understands the demands of competitive sports.

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Richie Johnston at Melbourne CBD Physio for a nagging running injury. Richie immediately showed a vested interest in my recovery and has certainly gone above and beyond in helping me get back on track. From prescribing a realistic and sensible progressive treatment plan to checking in 2-3 times a week via SMS, Richie’s holistic approach, expertise and empathy as a runner himself have certainly been the much needed ray of lights in this “injury tunnel”.

Fantastic experience: Amazing service, best physio clinic I've been to. Nick Rees working wonders with my rehab and getting me back out running. Phenomenal gym facilities and welcoming staff!

Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience seeing Nick Cross at Melbourne CBD Physio, they have a great team there and he was full of knowledge. Already after one treatment I have trust that I’m in the right hands.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to dozens of physiotherapist and myotherapist in search of a physician who can not only treat my immediate pains and aches, but to help me find long term solutions. With the help of Aris I’ve rid myself of chronic back pains, sleep apnea and have never felt more stronger, energised, and more rejuvenated. Ask for Aris, your body will thank you. I would happily recommend him to all of my family and friends.

Fantastic experience: Had the worst lower back pain ever, it's been going on for months now. Had treatment from Aris Hua, and the pain is gone. He is very knowledgable and is the best in the game. Highly recommend anyone to see this talented man.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been looking for a place to help me get over some injuries. Aris has been amazing in not only rehabbing the issues through Myotherapy but educating me on prevention strategies. The clinic and team are great there and I would definitely recommend it to anyone trying to get over niggling injuries.

Fantastic experience: Nick Cross and Richie Johnson have both been exceptional. They are amazing physios, and both have their finger on the pulse of the latest research. You know you're in good hands. Both have gone out of their way to really help me get to the bottom of a nagging ankle injury. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’m an ex pro tennis player going through a rough period having just had a rupture to my achilles tendon. Nick saw me on the day (that in itself is difficult anywhere) and was decisive and incredibly caring helping me push a surgery date with Dr. Bedi within a week. Hands down, Nick knows what this means for a high level sports person… I can’t thank this group of healthcare professionals enough and am blessed to have them seeing me through this process. Cheers to more people and professionals in the world like this group.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional care and expertise! Nick's knowledge of strength and conditioning is second to none - highly recommend after seeing plenty of different physio in the past

Fantastic experience: Melbourne CBD Physio is an outstanding practice! I have been a client of Nick Cross for almost 2 months now as he's been helping me through my calf rehab. Nick and the rest of the team are extremely nice and welcoming, always with a happy attitude and never fail to strike up a conversation making me feel like I am genuinely cared about! As a runner, this kind of service is really important and I'm planning on coming here for any injuries I might have. I recommend booking a consultation here if you want worthwhile service for a great price!

Fantastic experience: A big shout out to Nick Cross and the team at Melbourne CBD Physio. I have been trying to find a knowledgeable physio for quite some time and with a recent ankle injury, Nick was able to help move me out of a moon boot and begin my recovery process.

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of being looked after by the talented Physiotherapy Team at Melbourne CBD for an extended period. Tim and Nick particularly have been looking after me and helping me with my rehad which has been amazing. They are caring, professional, proactive and really wonderful to work with. I couldn't be in better hands and can't thank them enough. Thank you Tim, Nick, Tod and Chris and your talented team, I wish you every success.

Fantastic experience: Nick Cross will talk your ear off. But his words are full of zeal, knowledge, and care. My fragile body has historically been a mystifying phenomenon but Nick embraces the challenge and I always leave the building with clarity and a path to sustained success. Ultimately, Nick has fostered confidence in myself and my body that I can stay healthy and attain my sporting goals. Fragile no more!

Fantastic experience: Have been to see physio Nick Cross for a calf strain and knee soreness, both times he’s been able to fix the problem and get me running smoothly and strongly again. Nick is highly knowledgeable, professional and understands an athletes body and injuries - highly recommend Nick and the team!

Fantastic experience: Really great physio centre with attentive physiotherapists who ensure your rehab program is tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle. This was my first time attending physiotherapy but my healing progress has been awesome! Would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for physio in the city

Fantastic experience: Beyond grateful for being put onto these guys. Have had the pleasure of working with Nick Cross for the past year for ongoing rehab from a sporting injury, and everything in between. Nick and the other staff are approachable, super knowledgeable and continuously go above and beyond to ensure you receive the advice, support and tailored rehab you need. This is the clinic I would recommend to friends and family, and anyone who needs a physio who cares that they can trust. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Nick and the team at Melbourne CBD Physio have been outstanding in managing my injuries. Nick holds himself to a very high standard and goes above and beyond to ensure you get the best treatment. I always come out of each session feeling as if I have made progress in rehabilitation or gained a deeper understanding of what is required. They are succinct, easy to talk to and lessen the uncertainty that comes with injuries and treatment. Thanks for your help team!

Fantastic experience: I recommend the clinic to all my friends and family! Nick’s a diagnostic and therapeutic magician - he quickly figures out what’s happening and works with you to get everything moving smoothly again. I’ve seen him for a couple different issues and each time he’s thoroughly and attentively assessed me then helped me get to the point where I don’t need to keep coming in. All the staff are great, everything’s very clean and they provide great services all round.

Fantastic experience: As someone who started exercising recreationally during lockdown, I wanted to ensure I was exercising correctly and implementing some injury prevention strategies. After being recommended to Melbourne CBD Physio, I left with a solid understanding of how to structure my routine when it comes to training load, as well as strategies to increase my exercise and specifically running tolerance. Highly recommend this team!

Fantastic experience: I've been to my fair share of physios and medical practitioners in Australia and overseas and I can honestly say the overall service and professionalism from every staff member is world class! I was struggling with an apparent mystery knee injury for over four months that was unable to be diagnosed by several blood tests, an MRI and two sports doctors. On recommendation I went to see Nick cross who was able to diagnose the problem within minutes. He then prescribed an effective rehab program that I could conduct in their private gym. The difference after a week in functionality and pain in my knee is day and night. If you have a sports injury and want to get it sorted then this is the place to go. Thanks everyone!

Fantastic experience: Tim Sayer has been my physiotherapists for a few years now and he is the most knowledgeable physio I have met so far. I had knee problems for years and seen specialists in Paris and London and even Melbourne and nobody could really help me until I met him. Now my knees are fully mobile and I am so please I had come across this practice and Tim, in particular . My partner has been seeing Nick Cross and is extremely happy with his services too. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Nick Cross and the team at Melbourne CBD Physiotherapy have been brilliant in supporting me through my post-Achilles tendon rupture rehab. The in-house facilities and Nick’s tailored advice and rehab program have been invaluable to my recovery. Thanks team!

Fantastic experience: I’m a swimmer and started experiencing shoulder pain so came in to see Nick Cross on recommendation from a friend. Nick was the most thorough physio I have visited and was able to pinpoint the problem, give me the right rehab and I’m back swimming with no pain. Everyone at the clinic was super friendly and I was really impressed with the equipment they have available in there! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Consulted with Melbourne CBD physiotherapist Nick Cross after some persistent knee pain from a significant childhood knee injury. Great practice and clinician who gave me the tools to be pain free. Still working through my physiotherapy plan. I now know I can be so much better than just being pain free. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: During my recent trip to Melbourne I suffered a neck injury. The clinic had great availability and I was able to get in to see physio Chris Hibbert that day. As you walk in you are greeted by Sam who has the most amazing, warmest welcoming smile! Chris is the most knowledgeable Physio I have met and his treatments and advice resulted in a very quick recovery. The rest of the staff were full of good laughs and banter, would 100% recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Nick was fantastic and spot on with his diagnosis. I've had recurring lower back pain for a number of years and have seen at least 3 different physiotherapists and none of them have given me any diagnosis or treatments that actually helped. However, within 10 minutes of seeing Nick, Nick was able to give me a diagnosis and after wearing the serola belt as recommended by Nick for a number of days, I felt much better. I am looking forward to more sessions with Nick for my full recovery.

Fantastic experience: Nick was recommended to me by a work college. I went to see him with sever sciatica pain. Couldn't believe the results. Would highly recommend Nick and Melbourne CBD Physio. Cheers Guys

Fantastic experience: Thanks so much to Nick and the team- they go above and beyond to make sure you're in the best position possible for your rehab and to be the best athlete you can be. After years of bone stress injuries and jumping around a few different physio clinics, I feel really confident now in the hands of Nick that I am stronger and can break the cycle of constantly being sidelined with injuries. Awesome facilities too- it's been so good having access to an Alter G for my return to run and everyone is so passionate and positive!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Tim for my back and neck after an accident and he was amazing! He was even kind enough to help me with my knees that had been bothering me for an unrelated reason. The facilities are fantastic too; well kept and inviting place all around!

Fantastic experience: Best physiotherapy. I had an ankle injury from playing basketball. Nick knows more than physiotherapy, he knows the nature of basketball sport and helped me to plan my recovery. It’s very easy to follow the recovery plan / exercise he gave me. 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: I've struggled with the strength and functionality of a reconstructed PCL (knee) for over 20 years post-surgery. Most surgeons want to treat through operations or procedures and physio is usually an afterthought. Physio can and should be first and ongoing. I believe, after living with a knee injury and reduced strength for so long to hear a physio (Nick Cross and team at CBD Physiotherapy) say follow me, we can solve this issue together and here is a solution - that's just a reason to be optimistic. Nick is helping me to avoid/delay further surgery and do the things I want to do (sports, activities, pain reduction - that a surgeon says I can't do). This is my experience with CBD Physiotherapy. I've only started my new rehab journey but I can wholeheartedly recommend this team for their support, treatment and method.

Fantastic experience: Came to see Nick Cross for an acute foot injury. Nick quickly identified my issue and explained that I needed further investigations, and that at this particular point in time he wasn’t the most appropriate person to see or to manage my injury. What impressed me was the honesty as well as how fast he activated his external clinical network (who are also lovely) and provided a comprehensive report so they were aware of what I was coming to see them for. On the recovery now and will be back soon!

Fantastic experience: Tim was so so helpful. He provided me with better advice and treatment. In the process yet. Will update the review once my treatment is done. Happy for now :D
