Brighton East is full of people who use their bodies. The ovals and courts at Dendy Park are busy most weekends, the walking loops are busy every morning before work, and a fair share of what comes through our door started in one of those two places. The rest arrives from a desk, a garden bed, or a toddler who is now heavier than anyone planned for. We sit on the Nepean Highway at Hampton East, a short run south of Brighton East. There is no train station in the suburb, so almost everyone drives, either straight down Hawthorn Road or along the highway itself, and there is parking directly out the front instead of a lap of the side streets. [Book your initial assessment](https://momence.com/appointments/appointment-reservation/37352?boardId=14785) 1/854-860 Nepean Highway, Hampton East. HICAPS on the spot. No referral needed. What it is## Clinical Pilates, explained properly ### “Is this a Pilates class, or is it physio?” Both, in the order that matters. [Clinical Pilates](https://www.allforone.com.au/classes/clinical-pilates/) starts with a one-on-one assessment with a physiotherapist, who takes your history, asks what your week actually looks like, and watches how you move. Only then does anyone write you a program. From the doorway it looks like Pilates. In practice it works like physio. ### “How many people are in the room?” Four at most, with a physiotherapist running it. Everyone is working through their own program at their own pace, so there is nothing to keep up with and nobody at the front counting you in. If a movement hurts, the person who wrote your program is standing next to you and changes it there and then. ### “So is it better than Reformer?” Different job. [Reformer Pilates](https://www.allforone.com.au/classes/reformer-pilates/) teaches one sequence to a full room and it is genuinely good once your body is ready for it. Clinical is individualised and capped at four, which is what you want when something is sore, recent, or has come back for the third time. Reformer trains the room. Clinical trains you. We run both, and we are not precious about which one you end up in. Who it’s for## What we see from Brighton East Nobody arrives here because they fancy doing Pilates. They arrive because something has stopped behaving and the internet has run out of useful answers. - A back or neck that settles down, then comes back every few months. - Knees, shoulders and hamstrings that came out of sport and never fully left. - The months after surgery, when you are cleared to move but nobody has told you how much. - Rebuilding after a baby, at whatever point that turns out to be. - Building strength through midlife and menopause, when the old approach stops working. - Hypermobility and instability, where more stretching is the wrong answer. - Persistent pain that needs strength added slowly and on purpose. If you are not certain it is the right fit, starting with one-on-one [physiotherapy](https://www.allforone.com.au/treatment/physiotherapy/) is often the sensible order, and the assessment will tell us either way. Why here## Why people drive down from Brighton East ### The trip is the easy part From most of Brighton East it is a short run, either down Hawthorn Road or along the Nepean Highway. No station, no changing lines, no walk at the far end. You park out the front, you go in, you drive home. That sounds like a small thing until you have tried to hold a weekly habit together around finding a park. ### Dendy Park bodies A lot of Brighton East runs on sport. Weekend football and netball, tennis, and the long loops people walk and run at Dendy Park before the day starts. Those bodies rarely need to be told to move more. They need someone to work out which part is quietly doing work it was never built for, then load it properly rather than resting it and hoping. ### One person, start to finish Brighton East sits between Hampton, Bentleigh and Brighton, so there is no shortage of places to get an opinion. What is different here is that the physiotherapist who assesses you is the one who writes your program and the one standing in the room while you do it. Nothing gets handed over, and nothing gets lost between people. How it works## Starting with an assessment **The assessment comes first.** One-on-one with a physiotherapist. Your history, what a normal week involves, what you have already tried, then watching how you actually move. Nothing is written before that part is done. **Then you get your own program.** Built for your body and for what you want back, whether that is a full Saturday of sport, sleeping through the night, or lifting a child without bracing first. **Classes are capped at four.** Same physio, small room, your program. Everyone around you is doing something different, so there is no pace to match and no back row to hide in. **It changes as you do.** Programs get reviewed and progressed. What you start with is not what you will be doing in two months.

FAQ## Your questions, answered How do I get to you from Brighton East?We are at 1/854-860 Nepean Highway, Hampton East, a short run south of Brighton East. There is no train station in the suburb, so nearly everyone drives, either straight down Hawthorn Road or along the Nepean Highway. The building sits on the highway itself, so it is easy to pick on the way past, and parking is directly out the front rather than three streets back. Do I need a referral from my GP?No. You can book an initial assessment yourself and come straight in. If your GP has already written you a Medicare Care Plan, bring it and we can use it. TAC and WorkCover claims are welcome too. Most people simply book, come in, and claim the appointment on their private health extras as physiotherapy on the way out, using HICAPS at the desk. I have never done Pilates. Do I need to be fit first?No. The assessment is a starting line, not a test. Your program is written from what your body can do on the day you walk in, then built up from there. Plenty of people start while they are still sore, still stiff, or years away from any regular exercise. Because everyone in the room is doing their own program, there is nothing to keep up with. I play sport at Dendy Park and I am carrying an old injury. Is this suitable?Usually, yes. Old sporting injuries are a big part of what we see from Brighton East. The assessment looks at what the injured area has been avoiding and what has quietly taken over the job, then the program loads it back up in a controlled way instead of resting it and hoping. If it needs hands-on treatment first, we will tell you that. How is this different from a regular Reformer class?A Reformer class teaches one sequence to a full room, and it is a good workout once your body is ready for it. Clinical Pilates is capped at four, run by a physiotherapist, and everyone is following a program written for them after a one-on-one assessment. If you are not sure which one suits you right now, the assessment will answer that. ## Find out what is actually going on One-on-one with a physiotherapist, no referral, and a program built for the body you have now rather than the one you had ten years ago. Parking is out the front. [Book your initial assessment](https://momence.com/appointments/appointment-reservation/37352?boardId=14785) [Call us](tel:+61390863740)
