PridePlus Health, Pascoe Vale

Was seen by Zainab she was amazing and very very knowledgeable she has a lot of patience too

Zainab worked with me today. I commend her professionalism and expertise. Her explanations were clear, and I’m sure I’ll benefit greatly from her treatment.

Have been using this service and have been completely happy with the service provided.
All the staff are fantastic usually have Hannah who is fantastic and last appointment had zianab who was also great.
Highly recommended

UPDATED 2023: Well, it is five years since my review below, and I would like to support what I said earlier and reinforce my five-star rating. I have seen both Mike and Ben over the past twelve months to repair and then build up my strength in both my knees and feet, which were causing me issues. Both have really helped, and I have felt confident to be able to take on a long walk again. So, I am currently walking across France and just completed 459 kilometres over the past three and a half weeks. Strength exercises and a successful attitude have helped support me in this. Thankyou PridePlus Health once again.

Before going on a long walk through Northern Spain (Camino), we made appointments at Pride Podiatry in Pascoe Vale to ask about things we should think about to avoid blisters. We were also concerned at taking on such a long trek having heard many horror "feet" stories. Tim was very helpful, evaluating our choice of boots, suggesting ways to avoid blisters and used a video to determine whether we walked straight or in an awkward way. He is very knowledgeable. We were given exercises which would help us prepare for our trek.
It was reassuring beforehand to have such a confident guide. Further, we finished the 833 km walk over 40 days and, apart from one small blister on the top of one toe due to rolling stones on a downhill slope, we had no other problems. My partner, Pina, had no blisters at all. We were the envy of many who had to finish early with foot problems.
I strongly recommend this practice and the excellent friendly advice and suggestions from Tim Mulholland. It made a huge difference to us.

Zainab had taken care of both my feet and those of my son’s, she has been professional and thoughtful in her approach. I have worked in healthcare for over 20 years and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I have been working with EP Mike Fitzsimon to improve my overall strength and bone density. As an experienced instructor Mike is clear, patient and sets achievable goals. He has motivated me to achieve my goals.

I have been attending classes with Mike at pride plus health for a short time and found it so beneficial. He has helped me to achieve a level of fitness that I was unable to achieve previously.
I look forward to continuing with Mike who is a highly accredited exercise physiologist

I would like to Highly Recommend the team of PridePlus Health - Pascoe Vale, especially Mike Fitzsimon.

I have been seeing Mike for the past year working on strengthening exercises and a recent shoulder injury.

Besides professional, Mikes' expertise, knowledge, patience and commitment to his specialty, is helping me not just physically, but also mentally. He is helping me to gain confidence and reach goals I never thought I could.

I look forward to continuing working with you.
Thank you Mike.

The exercises that Mike Fitzsimon has organised for me are increasing the muscle strength in my legs to counter some effects of diabetes. They are clearly explained and demonstrated and the exercise group classes are both beneficial and very enjoyable.

At my last visit with
Mike Fitzsimon I described the problems I was having with instability in my right knee. He gave me appropriate exercises to deal with the problems and also kindly emailed me a copy of them. Doing these has really helped stabilise my knee. Thanks Mike.

Hi, I was referred to see Mike Fitzsimons from Dorset Rehab Centre several years ago. I attend the Group Exercise Class on Fridays. There is a maximum of 6 people in the group, each person has their own individualised program to follow depending on their health issues. The classes are great and I can't speak highly enough of Mike. He is so personable and has a wealth of knowledge re exercise physiology and I would highly recommend him. The sessions go for 45 mins, we have lots of laughs and any concerns you have re your exercises are quickly sorted. If you have an issue with an exercise, Mike always has an alternative one that you can do. I am grateful for his ongoing support and expertise. Well done Mike.

Mike Fitzsimmon, Exercise Physiologist at PridePlus, has tailored exercises very specifically to help me build strength and improve my speed and endurance when walking and trekking. He is extremely particular about the way the exercises are performed and regularly checks this. I am thrilled with the outcome and will continue to see Mike to improve my strength and fitness.

Naveena is The Best! When I first met Naveena, I was in so much pain and discomfort from a hip injury. But Naveena's diagnosis and rehabilitation plan has made my mobility and flexibility return, and I'm back to my old self. I can't thank Naveena enough for her guidance, professional knowledge and kind encouragement at every step. Thanks so much Naveena!

I went to Dominic Tan for several ongoing issues that have been plaguing me for many months. Within a few days of the exercises he proscribed me, I was back well on my way to my former self including a return to most of my pre-injury activities. He is a great physio who gets straight to the point and identified several issues that I had gone to other physios for with no resolution. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Any issues I have in the future, I will go direct to him. Thanks Dominic!

Naveena Seethapathy Is a highly professional physiotherapist. I have been to a few Physiotherapists but by far, she is honestly the very best. She is amazing in the knowledge she has and the work she does. I would highly recommend her services to anyone! Thank you Naveena

Physiotherapist, Dominic at PVH medical, is by far the best Physio I have worked with it having come for a rock climbing experience he was able to understand my conditions like no one else and provided the best exercises to strengthen my climbing capacity. Couldn’t recommend him more

Navenna is very encouraging and understanding. She designs exercises and plans that are manageable. Very happy with the service

Thank you soooo much Dom for fixing my long term terrible hip tendon. Dom’s diagnosis was spot on. I followed Dom’s advise to the T and my pain decreased heaps within a few days. Very thorough diagnosis, explanations, treatment and follow up. Thank you Dom

Naveena took time to understand my injury and past issues, and developed a comprehensive plan to manage my rehabilitation. Very happy to recommend her services

Dominic is amazing and helped me get my broken hand and Thumb working. He has great knowledge and a Great Asset to Pascoe Vale Health.
