This helps with injury prevention.  There is emphasis is on strengthening the abdominals, improving posture, stabilising and lengthening the spine, improving balance and overall strength. Studio Gym is taught by a physiotherapist with specific training in this area. It focuses on pain relief and regaining normal body flexibility and strength.

Studio Gym: This is individual instruction ideal for those clients who have back or neck issues and need careful controlled exercise under the supervision of a physiotherapist.  Private Health fund rebates are available.  Having individual instruction can be of great benefit to ensure correct muscles usage during activity or exercise.  Studio sessions We offer one on one training in a small group setting.  Normal Consultation fees apply.  These sessions last for 40-60 minutes and will be organised by your physiotherapist. Rebates are available for physiotherapy studio sessions.

Matwork Physio:  Ideal for those clients who no longer need controlled physiotherapy exercise and can push themselves a little more under the supervision of a rehabilitation therapist through a variety of mat work exercise.
