“Melanie was amazing with my son Jake. He is 12 and hypermobile, with little core strength and no motivation! When we started with Melanie he couldn’t even run up her driveway, but after a few weeks of treatment, a homework exercise regime and a lot of encouragement, he has improved massively. He is now running regularly and over the summer managed to build up to achieve a 5 km run. Melanie has been an amazing and encouraging force in his life and has turned his fitness around. She even took him out for one of these runs to witness for herself his improvement. He was not an easy patient as he gave up very easily, but with Melanie’s determination and kind approach he soon realised that he CAN do these things. Thank you so much to Melanie for improving his future!”

“My daughter saw Melanie for the best part of 4 months after being referred for an auto immune condition called Panniculitis brought about by anxiety and hyper mobility. At first, I was unsure as to what or how physio would help but our Paediatric Consultant assured us that this would be the best approach. Melanie was simply fabulous. Helping my daughter to feel at ease in her company straight away. She made the sessions manageable and fun. In time, my daughter’s strength in her muscles went from being 4 out of 22 to 22 out of 22 when we were reviewed by the Paediatric consultant who referred us 6 months later. My daughter understands the value now of doing her exercises that Melanie taught her regularly and consistently. It has made such a difference to her health and wellbeing, we will be always grateful! Thank you Melanie.”

“Melanie's professionalism and extensive expertise has transformed our 6 year old son's muscle strength. We are so grateful for Melanie's clear, concise and achievable exercise regime that has resulted in our son moving from a muscle strength score of 5 out of 22 to 22 out of 22 (as assessed by a leading consultant paediatrician & rheumatologist). Melanie's energy and kindness, week after week, ensured that our son loved going to Melanie”

"I was highly recommended to see Melanie for my daughter. She is very professional and has an easy going manner. She really helped my daughter and I would recommend her to others"

“Melanie has been working with our 7-year-old son Noah for the last two and a half years. During that time Melanie has always displayed the upmost level of professionalism, approachability and reliability. Melanie assesses our son’s abilities on a regular basis and creates a specific and clear plan of objectives for him to work towards. In defining the plan, Melanie also solicits our input as his parents to ensure that all views and objectives are aligned and included. In the sessions Melanie works towards the defined, tangible goals. We are constantly impressed with Melanie’s constant drive and innovation to ensure that the sessions are fun, varied and enjoyable for our son, whilst being constructive and targeted towards his goals. Melanie has also shown a great aptitude to towards being highly knowledgeable but also open minded to new ideas and information to ensure the best possible outcome for our son. As parents, we feel that it is important to find professionals who are not only knowledgeable but who also have an interest in helping and engaging with our son on a personal level. It is heart-warming to see the genuine rapport that Melanie and our son Noah have developed. We whole heartily recommend Melanie as an outstanding and high achieving Paediatric Physiotherapist”

“It is a very good opportunity to work with Mel. It is fun to work with Mel and she has been a great physio. She’s helped me build my muscles up. I enjoy the exercises she gives me.”

“Melanie has seen my daughter and is the first physio to have understood the difference between strong muscles standing up and strong muscles lying down and how they work differently.”

“My son Zain has been a patient of Melanie's for about six weeks and has benefitted greatly in this time. Melanie related to him very well, making Zain feel comfortable straight away. Melanie gets positive results by incorporating hard work within a playful way, making her physio sessions enjoyable and refreshing compared to others that Zain has tried. Melanie's studio at her home has a happy and welcoming feel to it. My son looks forward to his sessions every week and doesn't want to miss them even when he is feeling poorly! Melanie is an incredibly focused and dedicated professional and I would highly recommend her.”

“We met Melanie following a really difficult time when our two year old Alex fractured his femur. She was a source of reassurance and confidence to us and helped all of us get through it, Alex especially. Melanie was fantastic with Alex and knew exactly how to get him to do the exercises and explain things to him, no easy feat with a two year old! We would recommend Melanie without a doubt.”

“Melanie has been incredibly thorough and supportive throughout my 13 year old son's injury and illness. She was really able to relate to him and her positive cheerful approach was reassuring for us both during a difficult time.“

“Melanie was really kind and supportive and helped me get back to fitness which is brilliant as now I can play football.”

“I have been very pleased with the progress my son has made following our physio sessions with Melanie. The exercises are getting results and are child-friendly. I have found Melanie's tips and techniques for making things fun very useful.“

“I have been referring children to Melanie Arazi for physiotherapy and have been extremely pleased with the excellent results she has achieved and children and parents are all very pleased with her care.”

“I have been working with Melanie for a number of years now. I am really pleased to be able to refer children I see in my private clinic for assessment by an experience, highly qualified and specialist physiotherapist such as Melanie. The children and families are always positive about the input they receive when they have seen her.”
