I have had the pleasure of seeing Martin for my rehabilitation. He has altered exercises and recovery plans specific to my injury and has helped me make tremendous improvements to the point I am now back active and doing what I love. Highly recommend himself and all the Peak Health crew!

I started seeing Marty while struggling with sciatic nerve pain in my leg caused by piriformis syndrome. Marty took the time to understand my injury and designed a personalised program to aid my recovery. Not only did he help me strengthen and improve, but he also kept my spirits high throughout the process. Thanks to Marty, both the sciatic nerve discomfort and the piriformis pain have almost completely disappeared.I continue to train at Peak Health twice a week and feel stronger, fitter, and healthier as a result. I am incredibly grateful for Marty's support and expertise, and I highly recommend him and the team at Peak Health. Their knowledge, care, and dedication are exceptional.

Matt Farthing and the team at Peak Health were awesome! I was referred to Peak Health after a sustaining a serious neck injury and after a few months on a tailored and monitored exercise program created by Matt, I'm pain and injury free. This has allowed me to return to sport and gym HIIT classes with confident and knowledge of using correct posture, breathing techniques and strength skills. Matt and the team really care for their clients and are great to work with. Definitely recommend Peak Health!

I've seen Martin 7 times on the last 6 months to help me deal with my back pain. He was great, always listening to my progress and willing to adapt exercises that were not suitable for me at the current rehab stage. My progress has been steady and constant. It has been more than 4 months with no back pain at all, and now I am back to most of the sport activities I like doing.

I came in with nerve pain in my arm stemming from years of bad posture, playing guitar professional, and just hitting 40 ha.Had to stop going to the gym for a few months , but after easing me back into it Martin thoroughlyassessed me, put a plan in place and now I’m back doing workouts, pain is wayyy less, has given me a bunchof exercises to do while away from home, and I’m building up towards getting back to better than I was when I walked in. ✌️

I've had a great experience at Peak Health. All of the trainers are excellent. They have high standards, and have created a very supportive and inclusive culture. They are clearly very dedicated to helping their clients achieve the best possible results.

I was referred to Peak Health by my osteopath. Aside from the extensive expertise Martin and the entire team possess when managing complex rehab issues, what I also love is the general training environment. I have experienced frustration in the past with participants showing up late, then proceeding to waste class time. All participants show up early, train hard and get the job done. All trainers foster a supportive, ego free environment that I’d highly recommend everyone try. Thanks guys!

Peak Fitness is a very professional, knowledgeable and progressive environment. My son has had amazing results from the work he does with Peak and has learned so much about how his body moves and responds to exercise. He is now pain free and has complete confidence in his body to preform in his sport. Highly recommend the team at Peak! :-)

Marty worked wonders in relieving my excruciating back pain.When I visited Marty, I was in immense pain and could barely walk properly.Marty took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly assessing my condition and understanding the root causes of my back pain and formulated a personalized rehab treatment plan tailored to my specific needs.Under Marty's care, I keep on experiencing remarkable improvement in my back pain. With each session, I feel a renewed sense of hope as my mobility improved and the intensity of the pain diminished.Beyond the exceptional treatment I always receive, Marty went above and beyond to educate me about my condition and provide valuable advice on maintaining a healthy back.I cannot recommend Marty highly enough to anyone suffering from any pain, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact he has had on my life.I have also seen Larson in the past, and he was absolutely great as well.

2023-02-07T01:01:33.046Z

I started seeing Martin after suffering a herniated disk in my neck. I am now not only pain free but am stronger than I was before my injury, more over am moving and feel so much better. Rather than solely treating the injury, martin tailored the my treatment to me and also treated the underlying weakness and imbalances that caused the injury in the first place.

2022-12-08T09:41:33.824Z

My wife and I have both been using Peak for the last 4 months. In that time with the assistance and guidance of Matt we have both seen positive, and in most instances, dramatic improvements in our strength and overall fitness. Matt has this uncanny skill set and explains and trains through each exercise regime. Technique is king and then form follows . It has helped my golf and running and for my wife has assisted her in managing the muscles and ligaments whilst active. In short a life saver.Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could come this far. Thanks

2022-11-08T08:52:10.102Z

Friendly down to earth training environment but most importantly very good at what they do. They have a thoughtful, considered and tailored approach which has significantly helped reduce back pain and get me to a place where I’m pain free most of the time and building my strength back without compromising the correct movement patterns. Well worth a shot!

2022-10-25T06:09:34.953Z

I was referred to Peak health after more than 6 years of trying to resolve my hip/back issue which had me in pain every day and prevented me from doing any of the activities or sports I loved.Marty helped me rehab my hip, get to a point where I am pain free and strong enough to do any physical activity that I fancy trying.When I first started training with Peak, I couldn't even do a lunge, and now I'm the fittest and strongest I've ever been and have a much improved quality of life. I have shifted into their group training sessions which are a highlight of my week and continue to push my strength forward.

The team at Peak Health are so knowledgeable and experienced! Martin and Larson are extremely professional and have helped me recover from injuries and get back on my feet after COVID.

2022-08-22T06:20:16.764Z

I had a session with Larson Paulding and couldn’t be happier with the result. He was caring and switched on to how my issues were impacting my sleep and daily routine. He also recommended exercises that have really helped and given me a better quality of daily living. For anyone that is struggling with ailments that impact movement don’t hesitate to contact him for an appointment. Highly recommend!!

2022-08-20T05:00:57.366Z

Dr Paulding is very kind and really listened to my problems rather than dismissing me. Finally feel like I can cure my back pain. Thank you!

2022-08-19T11:39:04.228Z

Workouts are varied and push you to find your limits. Great attention given to technique. Highly recommend training here

2022-08-18T13:36:09.609Z

Why did I give a 5 star reviewFor Larson Paulding ?I travel by driving to work daily from Ballarat to Melbourne , eventually my lower back was giving me so much pain I could barely get out of the car. Once Larson loosened up all my muscles lower back and glutes , he suggested I make up a wedge shaped cushion for the drivers seat to support my back as car seats these days dip towards the back. This will straighten up the seat and should give me better support.The simple $10 piece of foam is a life saver.No Pain now. BIG thank you Larson.For your patience and ideas to make a difference to my life.Darryl OReilly 😊😊

Marty and Matt are great if you want to work hard and stay injury free.

My experience with the Peak Health team has been nothing but exemplary.Years of lower back pain, reoccurring muscle strains and more recently a ligament and meniscus injury to my right knee all resulted in multiple physio visits that frustratingly only addressed each single complaint – but never to any finality. My retirement a few months ago and goal to play golf weekly was in serious doubt, limping off the course in pain and getting worse. But all that has changed since working with the Peak Health team.Championed by the knowledgeable and passionate Matt Farthing and underpinned by Lars Paulding (Osteo), the detailed quantitative assessment approach has for the first time given me a holistic view of my body that has enabled a tailored and evolving exercise program that is addressing my strength imbalances, movement dysfunctions and range deficiencies. Still a work in progress, the demonstrable improvements in just a few short months has allowed me to play and practice my golf with greater flexibility and pain free, with the added bonus of having avoided knee surgery. Thank you Matt!This is a highly professional team who excel in personal communication and clearly care for their Clients – I cannot speak more highly of them. For me it’s been a worthy investment and pleasurable experience.

I cannot recommend the guys at Peak Health highly enough. I'd spent $$$ on physio, chiro and sports medicine, all to no avail before finding out about Peak Health. I have various injuries - budging discs, frozen shoulder and a torn meniscus and I was living with daily pain, on various medications and unable to exercise. I was staring down the barrel of expensive surgery with no guarantee that I wouldn't have to have follow up surgery in a few years.Since going to the guys at Peak Health my life is back to normal. I have no pain, I'm not on medication and I've dodged the surgery bullet. Marty works with my injuries to alleviate the issues and has me exercising properly - with better technique than I probably ever had. I'm fitter and stronger than I've ever been but, more importantly, I'm happy and content in myself.It hasn't been a quick fix, rather it's been a calculated journey with a couple of detours on the way, but I'm grateful for the dedication and care afforded to me by Marty.All the team at Peak Health are highly trained and absolutely on point. I am always in awe at the level of dedication and conscientiousness I witness every time I am there.

I thought I knew fitness until I started training with Matt at Peak fitness . He is very knowledgeable and pushes you very hard. My fitness levels have improved out of sight and my weight has dropped thanks to his tailored program. Best investment I have made in a long time.

2022-06-30T10:04:11.515Z

I am grateful for the program Martin provided to resolve lower back pain. He constructed an ingenious program of muscle activation exercises that resolved the issue, so that I am to resume my normal activites pain free. His methodology follows best practices informed by the best science in exercise physiology. You couldn't find a better practitioner to consult.

2022-06-30T05:30:04.232Z

The team at Peak Health have been brilliant - I’ve had a big comp to prepare for and they’ve combined forces with their osteo and EP skills to get me moving well and make it through all my games with minimal soreness. Looking forward to continuing to work on my next challenge.

2022-06-09T11:17:30.718Z

I have only had an initial meeting and can say that the activities I was given have softened the pain in my shoulder that I have had for three years now. These people have so much knowledge and such attention to detail. I will be continuing my journey with Peak Health.

2022-06-06T09:33:07.957Z

Martin is an absolute genius! After suffering chronic back pain for a decade, Martin really came to my rescue. His method is brilliant and the results were truly remarkable. I am finally pain-free and moving better than ever. I work with Martin every week and will continue to do for many years to come. I highly recommend Martin to everyone.
