Clinical Pilates, designed by your physio
Assess
Your physio takes a detailed history of your health, injuries and goals, and teaches you how to activate your core.
Design your program
We work through the reformer, trapeze bed and weights to find the exercises that suit you, and write your program.
Keep it going
Follow your program in a class of up to four, or on your own reformer at home or at the gym. We review it every 2–4 months.

Common questions
Clear answers to help you decide whether physio or Clinical Pilates is right for you.
Will I get hands-on treatment?+
Yes. Most sessions combine hands-on treatment with exercises we demonstrate in person, so you know exactly what to do at home.
How is Clinical Pilates different to a regular Pilates class?+
In Clinical Pilates you’re assessed by your physio first, and your program is targeted to your individual needs. There’s a maximum of four people per class, so you work on your own program in a small group environment. It may be claimable on your extras cover.
Do I need a referral or a scan?+
No referral is needed. If imaging is clinically indicated, we can refer you for the right type of imaging for your condition.
Should I wait and see if it gets better?+
Usually the quicker you get onto a niggle the easier it is to treat. If it becomes chronic, management is more complex and recovery takes longer.
Can I claim through Medicare?+
With a Chronic Disease Management plan from your GP, Medicare may cover part of the cost for up to 5 allied health visits per year.
Is parking available?+
Yes, street parking is available on Lower Heidelberg Road and the surrounding streets.
Looking after Inner North East families, generation after generation
We’re a community practice, not a chain. Most people find us through a friend or family member, and many have been coming back for years. We often treat a grandparent, their children and the grandkids, right here in the East Ivanhoe Village.
