Jacinta Maxwell of Papaya Clinic is a warm, empathetic practitioner who I would strongly recommend. She provided me with accommodations to assist with my anxiety around physical exams (e.g. fidget toys and dim lights). She is a good listener and dedicated our first session to focusing on a comprehensive overview of my history, and provided a realistic treatment plan focused on treating my whole body rather than just one issue. She clearly has experience in supporting those managing complex and chronic health conditions. My experience interacting with Papaya Clinic systems and briefly with other staff has been exemplary - they utilise intuitive, user friendly systems and are quick to respond/follow-up. Could not recommend more highly!

I went to see Alex May for ongoing shoulder pain. In my three sessions, Alex was friendly, attentive, and comprehensive in his treatment. He gave useful resources, answered all of my questions in detail, and helped me understand what was causing my pain and how to manage it. Highly recommend! Thanks to Alex and the team

Fantastic physio! I hurt my back badly and they were able to see me on very short notice. Jacob was very helpful and professional, and I've seen rapid recovery following his guidance. Highly recommended.

I have been seeing Alex for remedial massage since January to treat chronic neck, shoulder and upper back tension, headaches and migraine, having been to many different physios and osteopaths over the years. This is the first time I have had consistent relief and obvious improvement from treatment. My headaches have significantly decreased in frequency and I’m feeling a great reduction of tension in my upper body. Alex makes me feel comfortable and relaxed during treatment. I would highly recommend him as a therapist.

First session with Alex May, myofascial therapist at Movement Laboratory and it was firm but gentle. Alex knows muscles and pain and how to release tension without causing more pain. I left feeling taller and more relaxed. Can’t wait to see him again for more painless relief.

I’d happily recommend Justin to anyone dealing with ongoing pain. After seeing three different physios over the past 12 months for my lower back, things were actually getting worse. I kept being told to “stretch more,” but nothing was really improving.
Justin took a completely different approach. He really listened—both to what I was saying and to what my body was telling him. Instead of just treating the symptoms, he worked to understand and address the underlying causes of the pain.
The difference has been incredible. I can now move freely again without the constant discomfort that had become part of daily life.
Justin has been an absolute godsend. If you’re feeling stuck or frustrated with ongoing pain, I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I have been attending Movement Lab as a client of Alex May for pregnancy massage since my second trimester. The service has been really excellent. Alex is skilled, professional, friendly and holistic in his approach. I have really appreciated being able to go somewhere with a focus on client care and ensuring safe practice. Would seriously recommend!

I started seeing Justin for ongoing aches on the left side of my body — my neck, lower back, and hip. Previously, it felt like other physiotherapists focused only on the symptoms, but Justin took a completely different approach. He assessed and treated my body as a whole.
He began by addressing my nervous system and breathing patterns before introducing targeted exercises to correct muscle imbalances, along with craniosacral therapy. The difference has been significant.
I truly can’t recommend him enough. I only wish I had found him sooner. Each session has helped me better understand my body, and I finally feel empowered to move beyond the aches I’d been carrying for so long.

I was advised by my Obstetrician to see a physio and was seen by Emily, who was extremely knowledgable, friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout our assessment. She provided a clear outline for my ongoing treatment and answered all my questions clearly. I would highly recommend Movement Laboratory Physiotherapy, Leichhardt.

Had my first appointment with Emma yesterday as a newly pregnant woman with chronic pain. We went through my medical history in appropriate and not invasive detail.
I feel really good about moving forwards working with her.
Walking is MUCH easier today. Thank you

I’m pregnant and wanted to see a women’s specific physiotherapist to optimise my body for birth. I see EJ and I feel very comfortable with her. She conducts thorough assessments and listens to my concerns. Her support and encouragement is invaluable which always leaves me feeling empowered.
She explained every step of the treatment process clearly, ensuring I understood the purpose behind each exercise and technique.
I highly recommend this practice if you’re after a women’s focused physiotherapist. They even offer remedial massage which I am yet to book in.

I had an incredibly positive experience with my physiotherapy following surgery. From the very first session, the team was supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me recover. They created a personalised plan that really worked for me, and I noticed steady progress every week.
Thank you Movement Laboratory Leichhardt team.

This place was amazing I was so happy about how I was treated and looked after . I liked how everything was explained to me and it made sense . I was grateful when I told my symptoms to the lovely lady she knew what I was talking about and ways we could improve things and that I wasn’t alone. Also I felt that the environment was pleasant calm and relaxing which is what I needed. I have already taken a few work cards to pass out to some ladies I know . Thank you ???? Looking forward to moving forward

Anastasia is a miracle worker! I'm a keen runner and I started seeing her a few months ago after a couple of broken backs and a (new) torn hammy. She diagnosed my hammy problem quickly and efficiently, provided immediate relief through some deep massage to allow me to survive a few more important runs before my wedding (honeymoon = rest), and has helped me rebuild through focused strength work and home exercises. She obviously cares about her patients and enjoys helping them achieve their goals. I'm now running regularly and pain free again! Thanks Anastasia 🙂
