Physiotherapy - 15/08/2026
You’ve been meaning to sort your back out for about a year now.
Moorabbin is a working suburb. Warehouses and trade counters on one side of the highway, sporting clubs training under lights on the other, and a lot of people in between who lift, drive, stand and load all day. Bodies here tend to break down from doing too much of one thing, not from doing nothing. That’s a different problem to the one a general fitness class is built to solve.
We’re at 1/854-860 Nepean Highway, Hampton East, a few minutes up the same road you already drive. If you’re coming from Moorabbin station or heading home past Southland, it’s barely a detour, and there’s parking directly out the front so you’re not hunting for a spot before you’ve even started.
No. It starts with a one-on-one assessment. A physiotherapist takes your history, watches how you actually move, works out what’s loading up and what’s doing nothing, and writes a program for your body. The class is where you do that program. It looks like Pilates and it works like physiotherapy.
Four people, one physio, and four different programs running at once. Nobody is calling out a routine from the front. You work through your own exercises at your own pace, and the physio moves between you correcting form and pushing the load up when you’re ready for it. There is nothing to keep up with, which is the point. Clinical Pilates is built around the fact that no two backs are the same.
Reformer is one sequence taught to the whole room, and when your body is ready for it, it’s genuinely good training. We run it too. The difference is that Reformer Pilates trains the room and Clinical trains you. Plenty of people start clinical, get their strength back, and move across to Reformer once nothing is flaring. Plenty do both in the same week. We’re not precious about which one you’re in, as long as it’s the right one for now.
Most people who book in aren’t chasing a fitness goal. They’re chasing the thing that keeps interrupting them.
You don’t need to be fit to start, and you don’t need to have done Pilates before. Quite a few people arrive having never been on a reformer in their life.
The Nepean Highway is the spine that ties this whole pocket together, and we sit right on it. From Moorabbin it’s a few minutes north, past the same turn-offs you take every week. Highett and Cheltenham sit the other side of us on the same run, and Bentleigh is a short cut across. If you’re on the Frankston line rather than in the car, the studio is a short trip from the station end of things.
You can find a reformer class within walking distance of most of Moorabbin. What’s harder to find is a room where a physiotherapist assessed you first, wrote the program, and is the person running the class. That’s the whole reason people drive past closer options to get here.
We’re open into the evening Monday to Thursday, plus Saturday mornings, which matters if you finish on site at five or you’re coaching juniors on a weeknight. Classes are booked in advance and packs never expire, so a busy fortnight doesn’t cost you anything.
One-on-one first. An hour with a physiotherapist. History, what hurts, what you do for work, what you want to get back to. Then they watch you move and test what’s actually going on.
A program written for you. Specific exercises, specific loads, specific reasons. Not a level one, level two, level three ladder.
Classes capped at four. Everyone in the room is doing their own work. The physio is there to correct, adjust and progress you.
It changes as you do. The program gets reviewed and rewritten as you get stronger. That’s the difference between rehab and a class you just attend.
Claimable on the spot. It goes through as physiotherapy on most extras cover, with HICAPS at the desk. Medicare Care Plans, TAC and WorkCover are all welcome.
We’re at 1/854-860 Nepean Highway, Hampton East, which is a few minutes north of Moorabbin on the highway itself. There’s parking directly out the front, so most people drive. Hampton East has no train station of its own, so if you normally use the Frankston line from Moorabbin station you’ll want to finish the trip by car, bus or bike.
No. You can book an initial assessment directly with us. If you do have a Medicare Care Plan from your GP, or a TAC or WorkCover claim open, bring the paperwork and we’ll handle it from there. A referral is only necessary if your particular funding arrangement requires one, and we’ll tell you if that applies to you.
Reformer is a set sequence taught to a full class, usually to music, and it’s good general strength and control work. Clinical starts with a physiotherapy assessment, gives you your own written program, and runs in classes capped at four with a physio in the room. Reformer trains the room. Clinical trains you. We run both, and we’ll be honest with you about which one suits where your body is right now.
Not at all. Plenty of people keep their reformer classes going and add clinical work to deal with a specific problem, then taper the clinical back once it settles. Others use clinical as the bridge back into reformer after an injury. Tell the physio at your assessment what you’re already doing and they’ll write your program around it rather than against it.
In most cases yes. Both the initial assessment and the classes are delivered by a physiotherapist, so with most funds they claim under physiotherapy extras. We run HICAPS at the desk, so the rebate comes off on the day and you pay the gap. Your exact rebate depends on your fund and your level of cover, so it’s worth a quick call to them if you want the number in advance.
An hour with a physiotherapist, a program written for your body, and a clear idea of what happens next. A few minutes up the highway from Moorabbin, with parking out the front.
