Clinical pilates is a form of pilates that focuses on posture, core strengthening, focus, balance, control, strength, breathing, and flexibility. It is often used alongside physiotherapy to help you recover from injuries or injuries after surgery. It is particularly effective in relieving or eliminating chronic pain such as low back or neck pain by strengthening and retraining your core and stabilization muscles to support your spine and posture in the way that it should.
Clinical Pilates classes take a more personalised approach to treatment and are all run by highly trained Physiotherapists. Exercises are specific to your individual needs (as determined by a trained professional). This form of Pilates will adapt and change to suit your level and abilities. If injuries become aggravated through exercise, medication, or otherwise, then the program will adapt to your current physical status. The goal of Clinical Pilates is to help activate the specific muscles in your body that will bring the biggest rewards, namely fast and safe recovery and a return to full physical capacity. Rather than giving a general exercise program your Clinical Pilates trainer uses their knowledge and training to provide an individualised program which targets specific muscles. Our Physiotherapist, will understand the needs of your body and prescribe a pilates program that will get you living pain free.
Pilates can be beneficial for anyone with nagging pain, chronic pain, or when recovering from an injury. What you need to keep in mind is that general Reformer Pilates may not always be the most appropriate activity for certain injuries and unique personal needs. Performing exercises that are not appropriate for your injuries or physical condition may put you at further risk of injury or aggravation of the existing trauma. Physiotherapists are experts in understanding how this form of training deals with injury and healing. Whether your looking for greater overall health, an improvement in body stability, preparation for having a baby, strengthening your pelvic floor, healing an injury, enhancing balance and coordination, correcting posture, reducing neck and lower back pain, or strengthening your core and improving your flexibility- Clinical Pilates will be incredibly beneficial for you.

Kasey’s Meditation isn’t religious meditation, it’s not hard, it’s not about the breath or a mantra or sitting cross legged.
‘…It is a place where you can just be you, and I will just be me…’
An opportunity to stop, close your eyes and reset.
An opportunity to just be.
Something we’ve forgotten how to do in our modern way of living.

Gen has had a love-love relationship with Yoga ever since she made her first sweaty foray into a class looking for a physical challenge at seventeen years old! After developing an interest in more than just the physical practice, five years later in 2015 she took a 200-hour Vinyasa teacher training in Goa. Gen soon realised that she enjoyed teaching yoga more than she enjoyed being a teacher and has been teaching Yoga ever since to seasoned yogis, complete beginners, sports teams, classes of five-year-old kids, and more. In 2017sheI completed a yoga internship helping instruct new yoga teachers, and then made the move over to Melbourne where she has been happily enjoying the yoga scene. Her classes are sequenced in a way that allows students to create new shapes in a way that’s safe and supportive for their bodies, and are full of tips on energetic alignment that is available to all levels of practitioners. My deep love is Yin yoga – no injury or worry is too big to be helped in these magical classes!

“There is no point in working out if you hate it, so why shouldn’t you have fun whilst working your body hard!” -Elle.
Principal Physiotherapist and Founder, Richard Scott created All for One Studios with the mission to deliver holistic, evidence-based care for people, to provide them with optimal lifelong outcomes.
After graduating from Charles Sturt University Richard first worked in the CBD of Melbourne, getting in depth experience working with office workers, lawyers, desk jockeys of all varieties and treating an abundance of back and neck pain. It was here that his interest for holistic care was born as he discovered the lifestyle factors of his patients were typically working long hours, highly stressed and not able to maintain a healthy work- life balance.
After years had passed working in this role, Richard decided to find a new challenge and moved on to work under a Titled Sports Physiotherapist. Richard further grew his skills and knowledge in the field. He was able to treat a vast range of sports injuries, as well as work with elite sports teams and treat anyone from athletes to the weekend warriors.
After many years observing the delivery of healthcare, Richard grew unfulfilled and was certain there had to be a more effective way for people to live pain-free and achieve lifelong results. This frustration ignited his commitment to develop All for One. All for One is founded upon the basis that physical health and mental health go hand in hand and we cannot have one without the other.
Richard’s expertise and passion lies in treating chronic pain, spinal pain and sports injuries.
In his down time Richard enjoys spending time with his loved ones and Moodle Yogi, keeping his energy and health up by keeping active, being amongst the great outdoors and watching his beloved Magpies in AFL. Richard loves travelling and having been to almost 50 countries, you can always count on him to share a story or two!
