Welcome to the Gold Coast Sports & Spinal Physio Testimonials page, below you will find quotes from experiences of some of our patients.
“Melanie Roberts is the equal of and in many cases superior to any physiotherapist with whom I have been involved. From the thorough diagnosis and pin pointing the cause of the injury, to the initial treatment and finally the excellent rehabilitation programme, Melanie is simply the ultimate professional.”
Mark Egan Former Australian National Coach Touch Football & Assistant Coach of the NSW State of Origin Rugby League Team |
“I suffered chronic back pain for years and sought many different practitioners and physios and even sought some alternative treatments, all to no avail.
I underwent a diagnosis and series of treatments from Melanie and the results were amazing. Painless movement, more flexibility and a freedom that I hadn't known for years. The personal ongoing rehab programme ensures my pain free life continues.”
Debby Egan Former Captain – Australian Women's Open Division – Touch |
“I have been to at least 8 different physios during the last ten years but I have found Melanie to be far superior to these. Gold Coast Sports & Spinal Physio treat one patient at a time so that the individual will achieve maximum results.”
Kurt Gislingham |
“One on one hands on treatment (using no machines), given a thorough assessment, advice, education, explanation and ongoing exercises to fix the problem long term not just the symptoms. I found the treatment to be streets ahead of the rest.”
Greg Nettle |
“I thoroughly recommend Melanie as a physiotherapist. I have had several treatments from different physios with practically zero results. I am greatful for Melanie and her team for being so helpful and kind to me.”
Larissa Hieber |
"My son had a serious riding accident and was left with extensive injuries, unable to walk and with very little normal range of movement. With an intensive and innovative series of exercises and encouragement he has now returned to his very physically demanding job as a stockman with very little evidence of his injuries. I have no hesitation in recommending Melanie Roberts as a dynamic, innovative, compassionate and caring physiotherapist.”
Janette McKeon |
“Experience with sporting injuries and quick detection of problems and hence accelerated rehabilitation is exceptional.”
Brad Cruickshank |
“Having suffered severe neck and back pain for more than 30 years I can attest to the outstanding professional service provided by Melanie Roberts. Senior Citizens (I am in my 80's) sometimes feel short changed by the medical profession. However, nothing could be further from the truth with respect to the treatment and relief Melanie has provided me. This is further enhanced by her vibrant personality and empathy.”
A.J. |
“I endured sharp pain in the centre of my upper back and stiffness in my lower back for years, but Lisa's personal one-on-one treatment ‘hit the spot' and combined with prescribed exercises I now enjoy a pain free and flexible neck and back.”
Stuart Irons |
“I work in an office environment and therefore I am always having problems with my neck and upper back. I have been visiting Melanie regularly since July 2004and no-one has helped me more than she has. Chiropractors, masseurs, and deep tissue therapists have previously seen me but these remedies are short lived – no-one actually helps to fix the problem except Melanie. I have recommended her to lots of my friends and they too are happy satisfied clients. You wont regret making an appointment.”
Kath Johnson |
“Melanie is at all times professional and caring, and is a wealth of knowledge. Before being referred to her, I had worried that surgery might be the only solution. Not only has Melanie helped me make progress physically, she has also improved my understanding of how the body works.
Melanie has always been happy to take the time to answer questions and explain the physiology of the body. She has a no-nonsense positive approach that helps to keep the patient motivated to do the exercises needed for treatment. Her skill and knowledge mean that patients benefit from sound treatment, while her encouragement means that people can have the confidence to overcome the injuries that might otherwise stop them from enjoying a good quality of life.”

Stuart Green |
“After suffering very bad back pain for 3 years and having several types of treatment, including spinal injections, I say an advertisement in the paper for Gold Coast Sports & Spinal Physic run by Melanie Roberts. I went to her and after 4 visits of exercise and massage I was pain free . I do my exercise every day. I am 78 years of age.”
June Coulson |
“Thank you for taking care of my back condition during my recent visit to the Gold Coast. You are very professional in the way you go about your business. Best Wishes”
Wayne Leslie |
“I am a 58 year old male who has suffered fairly continuous discomfort fro an old football injury to my shoulder. In recent years the problem has flared up to the point where I have been racked by fairly continuous and sever pain and restriction of shoulder movement. I was recommended to consult Melanie Roberts who has managed to relieve my suffering, to the point where I am no longer conscious of any shoulder discomfort. She has my deep and everlasting gratitude.”
Robert Gibb |
“I would like to thank you for your help and patience since my operation for severe right sided sciatica. You have made my rehabilitation easier – always making me feel welcome and helping my confidence. You are a sincere person and a credit to your profession.”
Brandon Spain |
“I have had gradual and lasting improvement for my back and rotator cuff problems thanks to a carefully supervised program of selected exercises and treatment. Melanie is a highly qualified professional, dedicated to the careful treatment of her clients with the latest techniques, which give great satisfaction with the improvement in lifestyle”.
