Our Method.

Our number one goal is to reduce your pain. We use massage, mobilsations, trigger point therapy, dry needling, cupping and therapeutic ultrasound to relieve your pain first and foremost!

Next, we get you moving. With pain and stiffness reduced, we get you moving again. This may look like simple mobility exercises or self-management strategies to do at home, in order to maintain your improvements from treatment!

Finally, once you are moving pain free, we start to strengthen your muscles so the pain doesn’t return in a few months time. We like long term gains!

Your First Appointment.

  • Come to Summertown Studio, head down to the back near the co-working space. If our door is open, come on in! If it's closed, then take a seat and we will collect you when it gets to your appointment time.

  • Next, we will ask a few questions about your injury or pain to get a clear picture of when it started and what makes it better or worse. We will then perform some tests to assist with an accurate diagnosis.

  • You will receive hands on treatment to start reducing your pain. This may consist of massage, mobilisations, trigger point therapy, cupping, dry needling or therapeutic ultrasound. You may also be given some things to try at home to make the effects of treatment last longer.

  • You will be emailed a treatment plan at the end, which will highlight your diagnosis, goals and treatment plan going forward. If necessary, we will book further appointments in the room. Collect your free coffee card at the end and you're done!

General

  • We are located at Summertown Studio (13 Paringa Ave, Somerton Park).

    At your first appointment, meet us down the back near the co-working space. We will then meet you and take you to either the treatment room for Physio appointments or upstairs to the loft for pilates.

  • There is free on-street parking around Summertown Studio. However, it can get a little busy so please allow enough time for parking!

  • Of course! We are a family friendly clinic and know that motherhood never stops! So please feel free to bring your little one along and we will make it work.

    The pilates studio is upstairs (so prams can’t be taken up there) but you can leave it in our treatment room if needed!

    Feel free to bring along a blanket, toys, bouncer – whatever you need to keep your little one happy!

  • If you need to cancel your appointment, please send us an email or give us a call. If 12hrs notice is not given then a cancellation fee will apply. This allows time for your appointment to be given to somebody else in need.

  • No, you don’t need a referral to see a physiotherapist as they are a primary practitioner.

    However, if you have any supporting documents from your Dr or scan results, feel free to bring them along.

  • At your first appointment, we will ask you a few questions, do some tests to work out what’s going on and then provide hands-on treatment so you feel better than when you walked in!

    We will then discuss a plan going forwards that is in line with your goals and what you want to get back to. We will then book further appointments (if needed) and process your payment.

  • We are able to see you if you are covered by DVA or using a Chronic Disease Management Plan (formally known as an EPC). Please bring your referral with you so we can process the payment. Please note, Medicare only covers a portion of the payment, so a gap may still apply.

    Unfortunately, we do not see Work Cover patients.

  • Wear comfortable clothing that can easily be moved up or down, as we may need to expose the area that requires treatment.

  • Feel free to bring any supporting documents you may have. Think doctor’s letters, scan results etc. Although these aren’t essential!

Physio

  • During your 1:1 Reformer Pilates sessions, you will be given an individualised program to suit your injury and goals! Each week, we will make adjustments and changes as you gradually progress and get stronger.

  • Wear comfortable clothing that you would normally go for a walk or exercise in. Make sure you bring a pair of socks (for hygiene and safety), grippy socks are preferred if you have them!

  • The beauty of reformer pilates is that it can rehab everything and anything! Get in touch if you want more info about how reformer pilates can help your injury or pain.

  • As our pilates sessions are 1:1 with a physiotherapist, they cost the same as a normal physio consult.

    Initial session: $110

    Follow ups: $95
