Physiotherapy - 15/08/2026
A program built around your body, not a class you have to keep up with.
Highett is a few minutes south of us, straight down the Nepean Highway. People come up from the Highett Road shops on a lunch break, on the way home from work, or after the school drop off, because the drive is short enough that it never becomes the reason you quietly stop going.
We are at 1/854-860 Nepean Highway, Hampton East, sitting on the highway itself with parking directly out the front. Hampton East has no station of its own, so nearly everyone coming from Highett drives, and there is a spot waiting when you get here.
No. It starts with a one-on-one assessment, and it is physiotherapy from the first minute. Someone takes your history, asks what the pain actually stops you doing, and watches how you move. Then they write a program for your body. It looks like Pilates from the doorway. It works like treatment.
There is no everyone else to keep up with. Clinical Pilates classes are capped at four, and all four people are working through their own program at their own pace. Nobody is counting reps at the front. If your knee is having a bad week, your program bends around it that day.
Reformer Pilates is one sequence taught to the whole room, and when your body is ready to be loaded it is a strong, efficient way to train. Clinical is the individualised version, capped at four, for when something is sore, recent or unpredictable. Reformer trains the room. Clinical trains you. We run both.
There is no single type. Most people arrive having already tried resting it, stretching it, or pushing through it, and having got a bit of each back.
If you are not sure whether any of that is you, the assessment is where it gets answered. Most people know by the end of the first appointment.
The Nepean Highway is the spine of this side of the bay. Highett, Moorabbin and Cheltenham all hang off it, and the studio sits on the highway itself, with Hampton a few minutes the other way. So it is one road, no back streets, no working out where to leave the car.
A lot of people find us looking for Reformer, and often that is exactly what they should be doing. Where Reformer comes unstuck is when something is genuinely sore, newly repaired, or behaving differently week to week. Following the room then means following somebody else’s program. We are not precious about which room you end up in, and plenty of people do both.
A physiotherapist does the assessment, writes the program and runs the class. That means it goes through your physio extras rather than your gym budget, with HICAPS on the spot. For a lot of people that is the difference between doing it for six weeks and still doing it a year later.
We run into the evening Monday to Thursday, plus Saturday mornings. If you commute on the Frankston line, coming back up the highway after work is a short drive rather than a second trip across town.
The first appointment is one-on-one. You and a physiotherapist, with no class going on around you. Your history, what you have already tried, what you want to get back to, then a proper look at how you move.
You leave with a program, not a photocopied sheet. It is written for your body, your injury and the thing you actually want to do again, whether that is lifting a toddler or getting back on the bike.
Then you work through it in classes of four. A physiotherapist runs the room, corrects you as you go, and knows what is in your program because they wrote it.
It moves as you do. The program gets reviewed and made harder as you get stronger, rather than staying frozen at what was safe in week one.
Reformer stays open to you. When your physio thinks you are ready for a full room and a full sequence, you can add Reformer classes or move across entirely.
Head north up the Nepean Highway. We are at 1/854-860 Nepean Highway, Hampton East, on the highway itself, with parking directly out the front. It is a few minutes from the Highett Road shops. Hampton East has no train station, so almost everyone drives, and the trip is short enough to fit either side of a work day.
No. You can book the initial assessment yourself and start straight away. A referral only matters if you are using a Medicare Care Plan, which your GP writes and which covers a set number of physio appointments a year. TAC and WorkCover claims are welcome too. If you have one already, bring it along.
Reformer Pilates is one sequence taught to a full room by an instructor, and it is a strong workout when your body is ready for it. Clinical starts with a physiotherapy assessment, gives you your own program, and runs in classes capped at four. Everyone in a clinical class is doing something different. Reformer trains the room, clinical trains you.
Yes, if you hold physio extras. Because a physiotherapist assesses you, writes the program and runs the class, both the assessment and the classes bill as physiotherapy rather than as a gym class. We run HICAPS on the spot, so the rebate comes off before you pay. How much comes back depends on your fund and your level of cover.
Not at all. Plenty of people keep their Reformer classes going and use clinical alongside them to sort out the thing that keeps flaring. Others use clinical for a few months to rebuild, then go back to Reformer with a program that finally holds. Tell the physio what you are already doing and it gets built around that.
One appointment, one physiotherapist, and a clear answer on what your body needs. A few minutes up the highway from Highett, with parking out the front.
