Services
Physiotherapy Treatment
Our university-trained physiotherapists assess and treat musculoskeletal conditions using evidence-based techniques. Services include joint mobilisation, dry needling, and exercise prescription for back pain, arthritis, and sports injuries. We provide medical certificates and coordinate care with GPs for comprehensive rehabilitation.
Clinical Pilates
Machine-based and floor pilates programs improve core stability and posture. Sessions use reformer equipment and tailored exercises to address shoulder, back, and knee conditions. Group classes and home programs help maintain long-term musculoskeletal health through controlled movement patterns.
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Postgraduate-trained physiotherapists treat pelvic floor dysfunction using ultrasound assessment and targeted exercises. Services address incontinence, prolapse, and pregnancy-related conditions. Treatment includes bladder retraining, muscle strengthening, and pre/postnatal care to improve pelvic organ support.
Pregnancy Care
Specialised care for pregnancy-related aches and preparation for childbirth. Services include posture correction, pelvic floor education, and modified exercise programs. We offer antenatal classes and collaborate with obstetricians to ensure safe, evidence-based management throughout pregnancy.
Dry Needling
Fine needle insertion targets myofascial trigger points for pain relief. This technique treats chronic muscle tension and sports injuries, complementing traditional physiotherapy. Sessions integrate with exercise programs to address both symptoms and underlying musculoskeletal imbalances.

Questions
Do you offer affordable treatment options?
We work with clients to create cost-effective treatment plans, including extended appointment intervals and self-management strategies. Group exercise sessions provide budget-friendly alternatives to individual consultations.
Can I claim physiotherapy through Medicare?
Clients with chronic conditions may access up to 5 Medicare-funded sessions annually under a GP care plan. Those with pelvic floor dysfunction or incontinence may qualify if under GP supervision.
Why need an initial assessment before group classes?
Initial assessments ensure safe participation by identifying individual needs. Physiotherapists evaluate conditions, teach core activation techniques, and determine if preliminary individual treatment is required before joining group sessions.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept HICAPS for on-the-spot private health claims, plus cash, EFTPOS, and credit card payments. Gift vouchers are available for physiotherapy services and class packages.
Do you treat DVA patients?
We accept DVA patients with valid referrals. Treatment costs are covered through the Department of Veterans' Affairs, with no out-of-pocket expenses required for eligible clients.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment duration varies by condition. Physiotherapists reassess progress at each session, providing updated estimates. Chronic conditions may require ongoing management, while acute injuries often resolve in fewer sessions with client compliance.
