Quest Specialist Physiotherapy

I wanted to write and say how much positive difference the three sessions I had with Michael Sharp has made. There are many things I have resumed and now enjoying since the incredible guidance I received. I continue to do the exercises, in particular my neck pain diminishes when I stop 'guarding'. Michael facilitated a shift away from planning to not do, to planning to do and participate in those activities I had given up. I even find I have a little more energy that I am not spending in pain management. In deep appreciation of the help!

Have had chronic lower back pain for a long time and felt like it was slowly getting worse from my job... went to see Michael at QSP and was very impressed with his very detailed analysis of how I was improperly using my back in different situations. With an emphasis on understanding the root of the problem rather than just a superficial diagnosis, I can't recommend this physio high enough as after 1 week I already feel a vast improvement in pain relief.

I herniated my disc when i was 22 years old. The pain was immense and after about 8 months of agony i got a discectomy. From that point on, I tried to get back to playing footy, but herniated it again on the other side. I had another discectomy at age 25. It has herniated again and had two forms of injections. The disc block when I was 30 was quite effective but I still had massive flare ups that would debilitate me to the point where I couldn't lift my leg out of my car seat. I am 32 now, and have seen around 30 specialists from the first injury including, Chiropractors, sports physios, surgeons, naturopaths, pt's, ultrasounds, x rays, mri's, hypnosis, pilates, yoga, remedial massages. You name it I saw them. I got a recommendation from a friend that does marathons that Michael and Nathan got back up and running again after being bedridden. I thought stuff it I have nothing to lose.From my initial appointment roughly 3 months ago, I have been pain free for the majority of that time. I had 4 flare ups since but each one was less and less severe. I am now at the point where I am doing F45 3 times a week and running 3kms at a time. PAIN FREE. I am starting to work up to sprint training again and hopefully play social sports again. Michael was the first person I saw that got a complete 360 degree idea of what was happening with me. Emotionally, physically, spiritually, sleep pattterns, running style. The works. I was impressed by him actually keeping up to date with the latest research and journal articles with evidence of more succesful treatments then what regular physios just stick to and do. At this point in my life, touch wood, my life has completely changed. I have gone from feeling pain just thinking about running or sports to being active again and I am so thankful to get that back. If you are going through something similar, see the team, actually commit to getting yourself better and hopefully you will see similar results. Its not a miracle fix but if you put in the work you will get the results more likely than not.

I highly recommend going to see Michael for your physio needs! I followed all of his advice and my hamstring injury resolved. Super approachable, professional, excellent knowledge of current treatments and research base, and clear + effective treatment plans.

I have been going to see Michael at Quest for about 8 years now. He has helped me through a number of different injuries and every time he has sorted me out. In particular, the support Michael has given me to help with my back pain has been amazing. He has a very holistic approach to his diagnosis and I think that is why he always gets results. I think one of the highlights was when I had a broken toe. I went to see Michael about something else but happened to mention my toe and he looked at it and gave me some advice and manipulated it a bit and it was immediately better. Michael has also made a very painful stiff neck immediately better.
