Physiotherapy - 15/08/2026
You’ve been managing it. That isn’t the same as fixing it.
Newport is not short of places to move. There are studios and gyms within walking distance of Hall Street, and half the suburb seems to do a lap of Newport Lakes before work. What is harder to find is a room where a physiotherapist has watched how your body actually moves, written a program for it, and then stands beside you while you do it.
We’re at 13 Campbell Street in Yarraville, two stops up from Newport station with Spotswood in between, or a straight run along Melbourne Road if you drive. Most people make that short trip because the assessment comes first, not because we happen to be the closest studio on the map.
No. It starts with a one-on-one assessment with a physiotherapist who takes your full history, watches how you move and builds a program specific to your body. You then work through your own program in a class capped at four people, run by a physiotherapist. That is what Clinical Pilates means here. It looks like a Pilates class and it works like physio.
There is nothing to keep up with. Everyone in the room is doing a different program at their own pace, so nobody is watching the clock or copying the person next to them. The physio moves between four people, which is close enough to correct a wrist position before it becomes a sore wrist.
Reformer Pilates is one sequence taught to the whole room, and it is very good once your body is ready for it. Clinical is individualised and capped at four. Reformer trains the room. Clinical trains you. We run both and we are not precious about which one you end up in.
Not injuries so dramatic they stop you, mostly. The kind that quietly change what you say yes to.
If you have been told to “strengthen your core” and left it there because nobody said which part or how much, this is the version with the detail filled in.
The Werribee and Williamstown lines both stop at Newport, and Yarraville is two stations up with Spotswood between. Campbell Street is a couple of minutes from the station at this end. By car it is Melbourne Road, the same run you already make for anything in Yarraville Village.
There are mat and reformer studios in Newport, in Williamstown, out towards Altona, and they do their job well. An assessment-led program written by a physio, then run in a room of four, is a different thing. People travel a few minutes further for it because the first appointment tells them something about their own body they did not already know.
We opened our Yarraville studio in 2018, two minutes from the Sun Theatre. It is not a franchise floor with a rotating cast. The physio who assesses you is usually the physio you see in the room, which matters when your program needs changing rather than restarting.
We run into the evening Monday to Thursday, plus Saturday mornings. If you take the train in for work, the trip home at the end of the day drops you here without a detour.
First, an hour on you. Your initial appointment is one-on-one physiotherapy. History, what hurts, what used to be easy, what you want back. Then we watch you move, on the floor and on the equipment.
You leave with a program. Written for your body, with the reasons attached. Not a class pass and a hope that the right exercises turn up in the mix.
Then you work through it, four at a time. Every class is run by a physiotherapist, capped at four, so you get watched properly rather than counted.
It changes as you do. Your program gets reviewed and progressed. Most people find the thing they came in for stops being the main topic around the second month.
No referral, and you can claim it. Book straight in. It is claimable on physiotherapy extras with most funds, HICAPS on the spot.


By train, Yarraville is two stops from Newport station on the Werribee and Williamstown lines, with Spotswood in between, and we are a couple of minutes from Yarraville station at 13 Campbell Street. By car, take Melbourne Road towards Yarraville Village. Give yourself a few extra minutes for street parking around Campbell Street if you are coming at a busy time.
Yes, and if your current class is working for you, stay in it. The difference is the starting point. Here a physiotherapist assesses you one-on-one first and writes a program for your body, then you do that program in a room capped at four. Nobody hands you a generic sequence and hopes it suits the sore shoulder you did not mention.
No. You can book the initial assessment yourself. If your GP has given you a Medicare Care Plan, bring it and we will use it. We also see TAC and WorkCover clients. If you are unsure whether your particular injury is suitable, call us before booking and we will tell you honestly, including if the answer is not yet.
No, and that is a common reason people put this off for a year. The program is written for the body you have today, not the one you had before the injury or the baby or the desk job. Plenty of people start having done nothing for a long stretch. The first few weeks are usually less than you expect.
In most cases yes, under physiotherapy extras, because a physiotherapist assesses you and runs every class. We process claims through HICAPS on the spot, so you only pay the gap on the day. Rebate amounts vary between funds and levels of cover, so it is worth a quick call to yours before your first appointment.
Book the initial assessment. An hour, one-on-one with a physio, and a clear answer about what your body needs next. Newport people are in and out on the same train they came on.
