My physiotherapist Vanessa is excellent, she is doing wonders for my recovery. I've had many falls resulting in broken bones, muscular & tendon damage. Because of my mature age I thought it was too late to heal properly. I tolerated excruciating pain but I was losing my flexibility and strength in my left shoulder, arm and hip which prompted me to seek help. At the completion of my (first) visit with Vanessa I noticed a difference in my ability to lift my arm from down my side to my waist height, next visit up to my breast. Vanessa demonstrated a set of exercises and she gave me a band to perform them. I was also sent short videos to motivate & remind me. After only 4 sessions I can now lift my arm from down my side nearly equal to my ear without experiencing that excruciating pain.

Have been coming here for a couple of months and have enjoyed it so far. The focus on reformer Pilates. All of the unstructured have been good and kind. The gym also has machines for weights and cardio. Good enough to complement the work out. And it is always nice to finish a few sessions with the InfraRed sauna.

Dr Victoria Norbury is incredible caring, thoughtful, thorough and knowledgeable. I am so grateful for her support with evaluating my ankle injury

I can’t recommend Courtney highly enough! She went above and beyond to get my calf injury sorted so I could run the Melbourne Marathon. From the start, she created a tailored plan combining hands-on treatment and targeted exercises I could do at home. Her expertise, dedication, and care made all the difference. I owe my marathon PB to her. If you’re looking for a physio who will go the extra mile and help you perform at your best, Courtney is your go to!

Excellent practitioners that really take the time to understand what you are going through and to support you on the road to recovery and strengthening your overall body, not just the injury. Equipment is A1 and staff are relaxed and friendly. Shoutout to Shea, amazing with teen athletes.

Sam Turner is flat out the best podiatrist! Also the nicest guy in the world. Would 100% recommend him!

Would highly recommend Life performance sports medicine. I partially dislocated my shoulder in October 2024 and was given an incorrect diagnosis after a scan.

On the recommendation of a friend I consulted Shane here at Life performance sports medicine and after a lot of hard work I am now able swim properly where before I couldn't lift my arm above my head.

After having meniscus repair surgery from a climbing injury, I started seeing Derek to rebuild strength and mobility in my right knee. From the start, Derek was super approachable, explained everything clearly, and set up a plan that worked for me and was easy to follow. Although he is not a climber he understands movement well and always tried to relate it back to my sport in order to get me back on the wall ASAP. My knee is now much stronger and I'm back climbing better than I was before the injury! The only problem is my left knee is now weaker than my right so I have some catch-up to do. Thanks Derek!

I am a passionate runner, I have been struggling with calf injury for the past 2 years and was unable to run my half marathons. I was referred to Shane O’Sullivan at the Life Performance by my doctor. With a proper rehab program Shane was able to get me back to running, I finished the Nike Half Marathon under 2 hours this year.. extremely grateful and I will strongly recommend Shane & Life performance for anyone who is looking to recover from sport injury properly.

I had a great experience with Sam.
He was conscientious and diligent, making sure to assess my condition thoroughly. What stood out was his amiable nature and competence. I felt completely at ease throughout the entire process. Sam delivered a truly effective solution that was perfectly tailored to my needs and I found myself walking with less pain and more confidence.
Highly recommended!

I have seen Shane, Shae and Sam for numerous lower leg injuries from sprinting. They’re all elite operators, highly recommend this clinic!

Liam F.

I booked in for an appointment with Derek following an excruciating knee injury incurred while running. This man is an absolute wizard and one of the finest imports from across the Pacific! Derek approached my injury methodically, and within 4 weeks I was back running, much stronger than before the injury.

Absolutely cannot recommend Derek and the whole team enough. The caring and trauma informed approach to treatment here is second to none!

Joey W.

03:23 13 Sep 25

Sam is an absolute wizard. Suffered from a really painful ingrown toe and he looked after me. Personable, friendly and genuinely wants the best for you. Thorough with his work and was able to fix me up, couldn’t reccomend higher. Cheers Sam!

I can not speak highly enough of Ruby. She is by far the best Physio I have ever had and her approach to treatment, movement and getting you back to feeling good within your body is what has completely changed my mindset regarding my recovery post back surgery. She is so knowledgeable and her attention and care truly sets her apart from all the other Physio’s I have seen throughout my battle with chronic pain. Ruby and the team at Life Performance/ Errol St Physio are exceptional.

Jack C

Been dealing with Shea for my recent ACL injury that I did playing footy, couldn’t be in better hands!! Meeting all my markers that we have set so far, and feeling better by the day! A great environment as a whole, with a very friendly team.

Charlotte N.

I have had nothing but the most amazing experience at Life Performance. Bronwyn was so supportive and I cannot recommend this clinic and Bronwyn enough 🙂

Victoria M.

07:41 23 Jul 25

I have been seeing Shane and the team for individual consultations and group classes to help with an ongoing hip problem. The whole team is so lovely and professional to deal with. The care and attention to detail is outstanding and I always feel very welcome and well looked after. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

David L.

Senior physio Shane has looked after me for a number of years, for a number of different issues, including getting back to a high standard of basketball after a torn Achilles. In recent weeks he has helped me shake off a bout of tennis elbow.

Shane is an elite physio who is thorough in his testing & tailors specific treatment plans according to your needs.

Shane is also highly skilled in many different areas including hands on treatment (needling, deep tissue work etc)

The facility is top notch with high end equipment & strength testing devices to help measure your progress.

Sessions are not rushed like other clinics can be so you always leave with a clear understanding of the exercises you need to follow - which can also be accessed from an app with specific notes attached for you to follow.

If you have a niggling issue that won’t go away or a new injury - do yourself a favour and book in to see Shane. You won’t be disappointed.

Rick P.

Very good analytical qualities with Shea in diagnosing and treating a deep tissue muscle strain. Walked in all bent over, came out striding! Very grateful

Derek has not only helped me to finally get rid of my longstanding back pain, but he’s helped me get so much stronger, more mobile, and (for the first time ever) enjoy strength training! His expertise and encouragement are really motivating, and after many months working together we’ve been able to hit goals that I wouldn’t have even thought were possible for me!

The group classes run by all of the physios at LPSM are amazing. Each and every one of them are so attentive and encouraging, the facilities are fantastic, and with the classes being small it feels like a really lovely community. I couldn’t recommend Derek and his colleagues highly enough!

Deanna D.

06:32 14 Jul 25

I can’t speak highly enough of Shane and the team at Life Performance Sports Medicine! I came to him with a severe hamstring and torn tendon injury. I could barely walk, let alone run. From the very beginning, Shane’s knowledge, precision, and personalised approach gave me total confidence I was in the best hands.

Through intense rehab and targeted strength training, Shane not only got me moving again, but got me back to running stronger than ever. His attention to detail and commitment to my recovery was second to none.

The entire team at Life Performance Sports Medicine are equally incredible, professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in your journey. You feel like more than just a patient, you’re part of a high-performance environment that really delivers.

If you’re dealing with any injury and want real, lasting results, this is the place. Absolute legends!

Derek has been outstanding with my son's back injury. All the staff are professional and friendly and the facilities are excellent.

Paul M

18:44 08 Jul 25

I thoroughly recommend the care, professionalism and services at Life Performance Sports Medicine. I have engaged LPSM for separate injuries over a number of years, most notably my hamstrings and shoulders. On every occasion I have been fully rehabilitated following direct treatment and helpful and achievable care treatment plans. The guys always use a vast array of the most modern equipment and techniques to identify and track the nature of the injury and recovery progress including massive gyms that are utilised for every aspect of my treatment and conditioning plans. I really appreciate the Apps that record, demonstrate and monitor my treatment progress. Finally a big shout out to Shane and the staff who are super friendly, supportive and really accommodating of my circumstances to help me recover quickly. Cheers guys.

Derek at Life Performance Fitness is the most effective physio I have ever worked with. He has taken me from a place of chronic back, neck and head pain, to a place where I am now living my best life.

I nearly had to quit my job because I was in so much, but Derek worked with me and got me better. I'm free of pain, and I have never been so fit and healthy. I appreciate his friendly manner, his depth of knowledge, his patience, and his practical tips and exercises on how to get better.

Thank you Derek! You've been a lifesaver!

Shane has treated our two gymnast daughters, 12 and 14, for several months relating to various issues including torn ankle ligaments, osgood schlatter syndrome and hamstring conditions. He is calming, reassuring and incredibly knowledgeable, and has been proactive in providing the best care to allow them to get back to full capacity in the quickest and safest way. We are very grateful that the girls are being treated by such an elite physio.

Sebastian I.

22:28 19 Dec 24

Shane has taken great care of me over the years. His expertise and knowledge has made me trust him in whatever issue I may have without skipping a heartbeat. If you are playing sport and develop an injury, Shane will fix you up in no time! I’m very grateful to have found him!

Michelle C.

10:33 19 Nov 24

Shane & Shae have provided me physiotherapy treatment for a couple of months following an ACL injury suffered playing Footy in July 2024.

Shane & Shea have provided excellent advice and treatment post surgery.

My knee is stable, strong and I am back running. The team have provided a clear rehabilitation programme throughout, set realistic goals and optimised my recovery. I am very grateful indeed and I cannot recommend Shane & Shea highly enough.

They are both great genuine people who are passionate about their work & clientele.

Let’s not forget the reception staff who are so friendly and welcoming.

I highly recommend Life Performance Sports Medicine for all your rehab, strength & conditioning training.

Thank you Riley & Mum

I’ve been seeing Paul at Errol St Physio and Life Performance for several years. He is a very perceptive and intuitive massage therapist in that he always finds the problem and I walk away refreshed every time. I’ve also had great results with podiatrist Sam keeping my feet marathon ready and physio Bethany for rebuilding my back after years of back spasms!

Payal N.

03:07 16 Jul 24

I was nervous going into a physio for the first time, but Life Performance made it so easy for me to find the right physio for my needs. Bethany has been amazing - she instantly put my fears to rest and put me on track to recovery.

Em C

03:37 17 Jun 24

Sam the podiatrist is excellent. Not only do I see him myself for my own foot and ankle issues, but I have also refer my players at the NPL DIV 1 soccer club where I am the head physio - for their foot injuries, shin splints, and complex ankle injuries for the last 4 years for second opinion & management. Sam is efficient at communicating with me regarding players status and co-treating players. He is a valuable asset to us at the club and knows his way around football boots and injuries!

Callum H.

09:17 07 Jun 24

I’ve never had as good results with a Physio than I have with Derek from Life performance Health. I honestly thought after multiple failed experiences at other clinics I’d never feel better but Derek’s knowledge and “Magic” have really helped and given me hope to keep pursing my love of sports into my 30s! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a highly professional team that know their stuff.

Bree P.

21:07 19 Mar 24

Courtney was so insightful and professional, the gym facilities were awesome to use for rehab and reception has been so helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend this clinic and seeing Courtney!

Kristen M.

I’ve been seeing Paul for over 8 years and he is easily the best massage therapist I’ve been to. Very effective and manages to find all the right trigger points. Highly recommended

Taylah T.

09:52 14 Mar 24

My experience at Errol St physio was overall excellent.

Highly recommend for anyone needing treatment!

Been with Shane and the team for a while now. Best in the business is an understatement. Has helped me massively with all my rehab and strength goals.
