  • Move Better Groups at Physiotas are a great option to help improve your health and wellness. Hosted by our experienced team of Exercise Physiologists, these groups use a range of cardiovascular and resistance-based exercises. Our Exercise Physiologists work with a range of chronic health conditions including Diabetes, Heart Conditions, Osteoporosis and Balance issues; along with anyone looking to improve their health in a safe and supportive environment. An initial assessment is completed prior to starting the group sessions to develop an individualized exercise plan.

  • Our Reform groups include a range of reformer and trapeze exercises, along with other strength and conditioning exercises targeted to your specific needs. Following an initial assessment with your practitioner, an appropriate, individualized exercise program will be developed. Our Reform groups are run by Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists who have completed additional training in Pilates. The Reform groups are one of our more intimate groups with 3-6 participants per group depending on the clinic location.

  • Hydrotherapy is a well-recogniSed form of exercise rehabilitation that involves exercising in the relaxing and supportive environment of a hydrotherapy pool. Hydrotherapy is a great option for post-surgical conditions (such as knee or hip replacement surgery), arthritis, mobility issues and pain management. The support, warmth and buoyancy of the water can assist with reducing pain, improving mobility and allowing rehabilitative exercise to be completed when land-based exercise may be too challenging or uncomfortable.

  • GLA:D is an evidence-based physiotherapy education and exercise program developed by researchers in Denmark for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis symptoms. The program consists of one education session and two exercise classes per week, over a period of six weeks.

    To join the program, you will need to be assessed by one of our specially trained Physiotherapists.

  • Exercise is well-recognized as an important component of the management of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Exercise plays a role in improving the way muscles respond to insulin, which can assist in the regulation of blood glucose levels. Exercise can also play an important role in the prevention of Type 2 diabetes.

    Physiotas provides a Type 2 diabetes-specific exercise program, which also involves an educational component about how diabetes can be managed.

    Patients with Type 2 diabetes may be eligible for Medicare-funded group-based exercise sessions following a GP referral.

  • Description The Shoulder Rehab Group provides a specialised rehabilitation program for people with shoulder injuries. Supervised by a physiotherapist, this program provides exercise advice, education, reassurance and the opportunity to progress exercises as able.

    This program runs for an 8-week block starting post-surgery. Participants may choose to continue with multiple blocks or transition to one of our other group programs depending on their progress and goals. goes here

  • Our Parkinson’s Disease Circuit Class program involves specialized exercises to assist with the effective management and treatment of Parkinson’s Disease.

    This program uses a combination of physical and cognitive activities to drive the brain’s natural ability to rewire itself, improve motor symptoms and drive neuroplastic change.

    These classes are run in a fun and social environment, encouraging positivity after a Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis.

    Sitability to join the class is based on a number of criteria and will be determined following an assessment with an Exercise Physiologist.
