Exercise Thought Physiotherapy

I went into Exercise Thought as an out of town visitor a bit desperate for some pain relief. I'd made an appointment online for a massage, without realising I'd made it for the next day. When I got there and the error realised, Sam was absolutely wonderful about it. It was totally my fault but he was fortunately able to make it work with his schedule and gave me the massage himself. I have a complex injury history and I'm quite scared to let people touch me. He was fabulous and I felt completely safe. Even in the short space of time he gave me significant pain relief, which allowed me to drive home. I'd definitely investigate this centre more if I lived locally.

Sam was fantastic - listened to me (unlike my last physio!) helped with simple stretches that I can do to continue to loosen my back. Highly recomend! Many thanks!

Sam Suke is an exceptional physio. I’ve seen Sam for multiple (separate) injuries now and each time he has assessed thoroughly, made an accurate diagnosis, and constructed an effective treatment plan. I trust his judgement and have always recovered well. The team at Exercise Thought are very welcoming and helpful.

Friendly staff. Very knowledgeable. Will definitely be going back. Thank you for fixing my bursitis is my shoulder that I thought would never go away.

Well after completing as much as I could do to rectify my Achilles tendon at my normal physiotherapists, the pain was still not under control and I was referred to Exercise Thought where under their guidance, supervision and instruction my tendon is now fully functional

Sam and the team at Exercise Thought have been looking after me and my lower back pain for years now, they really know their stuff and genuinely care about your health and wellbeing.

I had a wonderful experience at Exercise Thought as a student. The stuff and all the physiotherapists are well knowledgeable and supportive all the way. All thanks to them for giving me the opportunity to learn to become a better allied health assistant.

After getting a bad ankle sprain, I reached out to Sam and the team for help. Before my first appointment I couldn't walk and I was on crutches. By the end of the session. I no longer needed them!
Ater a few weeks of easy at home exercises and a few massages, Sam and Lewis were able to get my ankle back to its full strength, ready for sport to resume! Thanks a heap guys!

Great customer care making it even easier to come back and back for more fun! Thanks Sam and crew, I’m glad I have chosen Exercise Thought for all my physiotherapy need. A big thumbs up

Professional and friendly service as well as a large wealth of knowledge. I've always left with a plan that's worked to tackle whatever injury or issue I have gone in with. They always follow up to see how things are going too. With an ankle rehab about to begin fo me, how good that Hydro is offered at Ringwood. I cannot recommend the team at Exercise Thought highly enough!

Being a Physiotherapy student at Exercise Thought provided me with a vast amount of invaluable experience, giving me the knowledge and confidence that is critical in becoming a better physiotherapist. The physiotherapists and staff at Exercise Thought are very experienced, friendly and supportive. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a student here, and I aspire to be an excellent physiotherapist as Sam, Lewis and Rachel are.

I have been seeing Sam since I started high school, and he has always been such a great help. He is knowledgeable and always has the best answer to helping me keep healthy, both physically and mentally.

Such a friendly and helpful experience from the moment you walk in the door. Sam and the team are amazing, and I’ve really appreciated the way that the treatments and treatment plan work holistically, in an achievable way. Best physio experience - highly recommend.

Excellent service and treatment. Provides thorough diagnosis and evaluation. Multiple treatment options and exercises. Patient and comforting, listening to all your needs and asking lots of questions to make an accurate diagnosis. Brilliant!

Thank you Exercise Thought, a brilliant experience and service with knowledgeable staff, i will be back

Exercise Thought hasn't been open long so I decided to try them out for remedial exercise and strengthening work. Not only are Sam and Sam friendly and welcoming but Sam knows his stuff. If you need treatment or an exercise program it's the place to go.

I had an issue with me knee whereby it got so bad that I couldn't walk properly anymore, I didn't know what was going on with it. It had progressively got worse over an 8 week period, and I couldn't recall an incident that may have caused it. Someone put me onto Sam at Exercise Thought Physiotherapy and I thought I would give it a go. After the first few sessions where Sam assessed what was going on and gave me some simple specific muscle stretches and strengthening exercises, I came to understand the reference to "thought" in his business title. Sam hadn't really done any treatments on me at that stage, he diagnosed that whatever may have caused the knee to 'play up' in the first instance, was no longer operating. But my brain had kicked in and had been "protecting" my knee from moving into those positions where it caused pain; and therefore I had progressively been restricting my knee's movements over the weeks. As I restricted more of its movements, it got used to that and if I inadvertently moved it beyond those levels, then it caused more pain. So I unconsciously restricted its movements more and more. To the point where I could hardly move it at all. Sam worked with me to understand that there was no longer anything actually wrong with the knee (after having got an x-ray and ultrasound in the beginning to verify this), and I was able to gradually stretch it out past the point of pain, knowing that it wasn't doing me any harm, and within several weeks I found I could move my knee more normally again. Now begins the journey of strengthening the associated muscles, ligaments and joints etc, so that the original injury may be avoided in the future. I found the whole process very helpful as I could understand that my incorrect thinking had been a part of the problem and Sam was able to show me how to change my thinking and apply specific stretches and exercises to correct it. Thanks Sam, you've been a great help and I've enjoyed our chats and learning how to move forward.

I am so pleased with the quality of care our family receive from Sam. The treatment is always carefully explained so we can learn and take ownership of the recovery. I highly recommend the friendly and welcoming environment at Exercise Thought.

Highly recommend the team at Exercise Thought. Sam Suke has been taking care of my entire family for many years. He ensures his treatment is specific to your needs. He is very solution based and adapts his treatment to help you achieve your goals. The very lovely Sam at reception is a true delight.always greeting you with a welcoming smile and kind words. Best physio going around!

Sam and the team at Exercise Thought are fantastic! They always go above and beyond for their clients; highly recommend!
