Physiotherapy - 15/08/2026
You did the rehab. Now you want to stop quietly waiting for it to come back.
Flemington is known for the Racecourse and the Showgrounds, and it has no shortage of places to move. What it has less of is a small, supervised room where a physiotherapist writes you a program and then stands there while you do it. Big classes are easy to find. Four people and a physio is not.
We are on Level 1 of KCARC, 99 Altona Street. Same postcode as Flemington, about five minutes by car from Racecourse Road, and a short walk if you come in from Newmarket station.
Common advice, almost never followed by instructions. Clinical Pilates is the version that comes with the instructions. It starts with a one on one assessment: a physio takes your full history, watches how you actually move, and writes a program for your body. You are not left standing in a foyer deciding which class looks least likely to hurt you.
That is a useful thing to have learned, not a failure. A Reformer Pilates class teaches one sequence to the whole room, and it is excellent once your body is ready for it. Clinical is capped at four, and everyone in the room is working through a different program at their own pace, so there is nothing to keep up with. Reformer trains the room. Clinical trains you. We run both and we are not precious about which one you end up in.
It looks like a Pilates class and it works like physiotherapy. A physio runs the room, changes your program as your body changes, and knows the difference between the soreness that means you are loading well and the pain that means stop for today.
If what you need first is hands on assessment and treatment rather than a program, that is a different appointment, and physiotherapy in Flemington is the page for it.
Very few of them arrive because they want to do Pilates. They arrive because something has been going on for a while and the usual advice has run out.
You do not need to be fit, flexible, or any good at this. The assessment exists precisely so that the starting point is yours and not the room’s.
From Racecourse Road it is around five minutes by car, and Newmarket station is a short walk at our end. That matters more than it sounds. A program only does anything if you keep turning up for a couple of months, and five minutes is usually the difference between going and meaning to go.
Everyone in the room is working through their own program. Nobody is at the front counting to eight. If your knee is having a poor week, the physio changes what you do that day rather than asking you to modify quietly in the corner. People come to us from Ascot Vale and Moonee Ponds for the same reason, because a small supervised room is the part that is genuinely hard to find.
We are on Level 1 of KCARC, sharing the floor with the gym and the pool. That setup is unusual and it is useful. Your physio can watch you move under real load on the equipment you already train with, then build what they saw into your program, in the same building, the same week. If you want the full picture of the space, our Kensington clinic page has it.
One on one first. A physio takes your history, what you have already tried, and what you are actually trying to get back to. Then a proper look at how you move, load and hold yourself.
Then a program that is yours. Written for your body, not pulled off a shelf, so you know what you are doing and why.
Then classes capped at four. Run by a physio, on reformers, trapeze tables and mats. Your program is reviewed and changed as you change, so it stays slightly ahead of you.
Times that fit around work. Classes run into the evening Monday to Thursday, plus Saturday mornings.
We are on Level 1 of the KCARC building at 99 Altona Street, Kensington, which shares the 3031 postcode with Flemington. It is about five minutes by car from Racecourse Road, and a short walk if you come in via Newmarket station. There is on-site parking at KCARC and street parking on Altona Street.
No. You can book the initial assessment yourself and come straight in. If you do happen to have a Medicare Care Plan from your GP, bring it, and we will use it. TAC and WorkCover clients are welcome too. A referral changes how the appointment is paid for, it does not change whether you are allowed to walk through the door.
A Reformer class teaches one sequence to a full room, at one pace, led from the front. Clinical Pilates starts with a one on one physio assessment, gives you a program written for your body, and caps the class at four. Everyone in that room is doing something different. Nothing is being counted out at the front, so there is no pace to fall behind.
No, and this is the point of starting with an assessment rather than a class. The physio sets the first program at whatever your body can currently do, then adds to it. Plenty of people from Flemington start after years away, or after surgery, and spend the first few weeks doing far less than they expected to. That is the intended order.
Usually yes. Because a physiotherapist runs both the assessment and the classes, it is generally claimable on physiotherapy extras rather than a gym or fitness benefit. We have HICAPS in the clinic, so the rebate comes off on the spot and you only pay the gap. Limits and rebate amounts vary by fund and level of cover, so check yours.
One appointment with a physio, a program that belongs to you, then a room of four about five minutes from Racecourse Road.
