Welcoming physio experience helping our community move, feel and live better with a focus on supported exercise and movement.
Advanced skills and expertise in women's and men's pelvic health, pregnancy and postnatal care. Established for nearly 20 years, we are proud to offer very high quality, evidence-informed physiotherapy care to our community. We have expertise in pelvic health with four Masters-level pelvic floor physiotherapists. Our practice principal, Tory, is currently training to be one of only 15 specialist W
omen's, Men's and Pelvic Health Specialist physiotherapists in Australia. We love to help women of all ages feel and move better whether that is through pregnancy, the postnatal period, teenage girls or older ladies with hip pain or bone health issues. Similarly, we specialise in helping men with challenges such as incontinence or s*xual difficulties, to improve their confidence and overall function. We don't exclude the men at Vital Core and we love to help the guys manage their low back stiffness or sore shoulder so they can get back to enjoying life. We have years of experience helping runners managing injuries, training programs and specific strengthening plans, exemplified by our flagship exercise class, RunFit. Middle aged runners have a suite of different needs to most runners talked about in online articles, and women have different needs to men. We understand this, and have been participating in education around athleticism for decades. Rebecca is now studying for her Masters in Sports Physiotherapy at LaTrobe University to ensure we are completely up to date. Exercise is at the heart of Vital Core philosophy. We work with each and every patient to find an activity or movement that makes them feel and move better. Active management is the cornerstone of good quality physiotherapy and, while we use manual therapy to ease pain, we promote patient independence through exercise. We have a large, modern and well equipped gym and we run a range of exercise classes every week. We also have a Pilates studio for those people who prefer this style of exercise. So regardless of your issue, at Vital Core, we can help you feel and move better.

๐ฏ Got sore, stiff knees that are slowing you down?
You might be dealing with knee osteoarthritis (OA) โ a condition that can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness, making everyday activities harder than they need to be.
The trick to feeling better?
๐Keep moving โ but do it in the right way.
Exercise is one of the most effective ways to manage OA symptoms, especially when it's guided by someone who understands how your body works.
At Vital Core, our physios run classes in both a clinical Pilates studio and gym setting, tailored to help you move better and feel stronger.
๐ฆต๐ฝ Stiff knees this winter? It could be more than just the cold...
Do you or someone you care about experience knee pain, especially during the colder months? Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition where cartilage gradually wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced movement โ and winter can make it worse.
And while it's common, that doesn't mean it's something you just have to live with.
Here's the good news: ๐
๐ช๐ฝMovement is one of the best ways to manage OA. Gentle, guided exercise can help ease stiffness, build strength, and improve your confidence on your feet. At Vital Core, we offer physio-led classes in both clinical Pilates and gym settings โ designed to support joint health in a safe, targeted way.
How lucky are we with new art on our walls by and ?
Local women creating art and hanging it in our owned and operated by local women physio clinic, for all of us to enjoy.
This week weโre saying goodbye ๐ข to Physio Caitlin Finnis as she heads off to take on a new challenge in her career.
Itโs always bittersweet when one of our team moves onโbut itโs also a sign that weโre doing what we set out to do: developing confident, passionate and highly skilled physiotherapists who are ready for their next step.
While Caitlin will be missed, weโre proud to say our clinic remains a hub of excellence. Weโre fortunate to have a team of highly skilled, very experienced physios who continue to deliver outstanding care and support to our community every day.
Growth and development is part of Vital Core's DNAโand weโre excited for whatโs ahead. Watch this space!

If you have a prolapse, who know someone who does, know that we can help and make a tremendous difference to the lives of women every day.
Our team of Women's Health physios will hear your story, assess thoroughly and then work with you to help you do the things you love to do.
Pelvic organ prolapse affects around half of all women, yet it is little understood and very rarely discussed. Here is what I found out after my diagnosis
