Melissa Abbey

Always amazing after seeing Melissa I feel absolutely energized and pain free! She’s the best

Melissa is an exceptional physiotherapist. She has an incredible ability to clearly explain what might be happening and why, which immediately gives you confidence and understanding of your situation. Her extensive personal and professional experience in running truly sets her apart; the insights she provides are highly specific, practical, and directly applicable. What I appreciate most is how genuinely thorough she is. She takes the time to assess your issue in depth, carefully evaluates all contributing factors, and develops concrete, tailored solutions rather than offering generic advice. You truly feel heard and supported throughout the process. I couldn’t be happier with Melissa as a running physio and would highly recommend her to any runner looking for thoughtful, knowledgeable, and dedicated care.

I can’t recommend Melissa highly enough. I came in struggling with recurring running issues, and her structured, evidence-based approach has completely changed how I train and recover. She didn’t just treat symptoms — they assessed movement patterns, strength imbalances, and loading strategy, then built a clear return-to-run plan. I’ve gone from managing pain to running confidently again. What stands out most is their attention to detail and genuine care. Every session is focused, educational, and tailored.

I saw Mel last year in the lead up to Ironman 70.3 Muscat when I was dealing with a recurring neck problem and a niggling knee issue resulting from tightness in my quad from increased bike volume. What I appreciated was that Mel understands endurance sport properly. There was no generic “just rest it” advice. She took the time to look at how I was training, how the symptoms were presenting, and worked around the reality that I still needed to train and even took time to co-ordinate with my coach. Within a couple of weeks both issues were under control and I went into the race feeling confident rather than worried about things flaring up. She’s professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to, especially if you’re in the triathlon or running world and want someone who gets it. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!

Melissa she is just the best fisio in Dubai, she helped me to recover from an stress fracture and I’m really grateful for her professionalism and how she handled my case, I can’t recommend Melissa enough, she is just amazing I’m back to jogging after 5 months, almost pain free

Melissa is not just extremely knowledgeable and experienced physiotherapist, but her approach in sharing her knowledge for us to understand the situation and the treatment is life time learning. Moreover, been an athlete herself, she takes into consideration the physiological aspect and integrates it in the treatment plan. She is one of the most inspiring people I came across.

Melissa was amazing, knowledgeable and so helpful. She diagnosed the problem I was facing and supported me to continue my training without further injury. She went above and beyond, helping with a personal training plan so that I could continue running.

My visit was more than I expected. Melissa was incredibly thorough, taking the time to go through everything in detail and ensuring I got the absolute most out of my appointment. She really listened to my needs and made sure she understood my goals as a runner. I left feeling supported, comfortable and much more confident in my running.

Melissa was amazing, she answered all my questions and I walked away with clarity and clear guidance on what should I do next to maximize my performance without injury

The doctor suggested I would need a lot of physiotherapy to relieve the pain in my lower back but within 3 sessions with Melissa, I was pain free and back running.
