Melbourne Sports & Allied Health Clinic

Grateful for both Matt and Simon for getting me back to running after a few issues. The team is thorough with their care and I only had positive outcomes.

Big thanks to Matt who helped me regain my confidence after a pretty big ankle injury. Matt had me back on the soccer field after a month and in top condition. Very grateful for his patience and ability to have me prepared both mentally and physically. Cheers Matt!!

Simon has an incredible amount of experience working with elite level athletes here in Australia and around the world. He was able to use this experience to help tailor a training program for me to conquer the Melbourne Marathon. Simon and his team introduced core strengthening work into my program, which dramatically improved my technique and ability to run long distances. After running the marathon, I have since transitioned into triathlons and have a goal of doing the Cairns half ironman in 2018. Simon will be the key driving force behind helping me prepare for this event and achieving this goal. I wouldn't work with anyone else and can highly recommend Simon and his evidence based techniques.

Cannot recommend Simon and Matthew enough done a great job taking my V02 max test in order to help me better understand my current fitness capacity and get the edge over my competition with a comprehensive review of the details involved with my lactate threshold pace and much more 10/10

If you’re serious about living the best and longest life you can, Simon Sostaric is one of the best professionals to help you reach that goal. Years of top level training have equipped him with the knowledge and skills to guide you to your goals, no matter where you currently sit on the health scale. Simon is extremely easy to work with and I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I am so grateful to Simon for not immediately placing me [as others have - all my life] in his 'too hard basket' [due to my significant physical disability] the day I presented myself off the street, to his Clinic! In fact, I learned very quickly, Simon does not even have a 'too hard basket' ... for anyone!In four (4) months of attending the Melbourne Sports & Allied Health Clinic, my physical strength; overall fitness; activities of daily living functionality and, my mental health - have all improved beyond what I even thought would be possible!I'm not stopping my attendance at the Clinic any time soon!

Simon was a complete professional throughout the duration of our consultations. He helped me work through fatigue issues which propelled me on to achieve my goals. Highly recommend his services for anybody looking to take their physical well-being to the next level.

I have seen Dr Simon at MSAHC over the past two and a half years for advice and guidance on racing Ironman triathlons. In 2015 we conducted some fitness testing and Simon developed my heat training program for racing at the Ironman World Championships in Kona. My fitness definitely benefited from the heat training and I went into the race not being concerned the heat would jeopardise my performance.Since then I have started racing professionally and consult Simon from time to time to discuss my training program, body composition, testing etc. I really value his insights based on the latest research. Earlier this year he strongly encouraged me to introduce heavy weight training into my training regime - which I have done and am already seeing the benefits. I ran a half marathon PB in August (1.28.31) and my long run average pace has dropped 15 second per km since introducing the weight training.I appreciate Simon's expertise and careful and VERY detailed analysis of where I am at with training and my sport. Another aspect I enjoy with Simon is his ability to look beyond the numbers and ask me simply 'how I felt?' - this is so important as often the problem/blockage to enhanced performance is not due to the physiology!Simon has also referred me to a GP who was able to assist me with regulating hormones for maximising performance.I encourage athletes who are looking to enhance their performance through structured and reliable strategies visit Simon to draw on his expertise.Thanks for your help Dr SS.Trace

Dr Simon Sostaric has been a fantastic trainer and physiologist for myself since 2016 when I moved into single seater racing. He has helped my physical progression tremendously in terms of very thorough and precise training programs tailored to my needs. He has also provided muscle activation warm up exercises, scientifically proven heat-combative techniques during race weekends, and a range of tests at the race track to monitor my physical state, in order to allow me to perform at my best. He has been a massive help in my career, and i wouldn’t be where I am today without his help. It is about the 1 percenters, as Simon always says.“

I recently consulted Dr Simon Sostaric for some testing in relation to my running performance. Simon tested my VO2 max plus a range of related tests. I was very pleased with the whole process - Simon gave me a comprehensive report summarising my results and opportunities for improvement. More importantly for me, Simon was able to focus in on areas of weakness and gave me some insightful, practical tips about my training and my diet which I have been able to put into practice straightaway. I'm thoroughly happy with my experience with Simon and will definitely be keeping in touch with him to monitor my progress.
