About SOS

Meet Matthew — your local Exercise Physiologist.

SOS Exercise Physiology was founded on the belief that great rehab and high performance are not mutually exclusive. We believe every individual — whether recovering from a car accident or training for their next marathon — deserves the highest quality of care and the joy of moving well.

Founder's story

Matthew Sostaric — Lead Exercise Physiologist.

For the last handful of years and counting, Matt has been servicing Melbourne's inner-north and north-west — first in Fitzroy, and now Brunswick East, inside Project Better's renowned Wellness Centre.

His background spans clinical rehabilitation and endurance performance, with a plethora of experience rubbing shoulders with some of Australia's best middle-to-long-distance runners. That blended lens has shaped the way he works with every client.

He aims to empower his patients with the skills they need to manage their treatment independently — through collaborative, tailored exercise therapy that helps them return to the activities they love as quickly as possible.

Unsurprisingly, Matt is driven by a passion for helping runners overcome injury-related obstacles. His dedication extends to all sidelined athletes (and non-athletes) striving to maintain — or gain — peak fitness and strength.

Matt's mission is simple: helping you become independent, pain-free, and your best physical self.
