✨ Pilates… or Clinical Exercise? There IS a difference.

Reformer Pilates has ❗️taken over❗️and while it’s great for general fitness, it’s not always the best option if you’re dealing with pain, injury, or specific movement goals.

At our clinic, we run a Clinical Exercise programme where physiotherapy meets Pilates-based training:
✔️ Initial 1:1 assessment with a physio
✔️ Individually tailored programs
✔️ Focus on movement control, strength & function
✔️ Progressions designed for YOUR body, not the whole class
✔️ More than just the reformer

While many “clinical Pilates” classes still follow a small-group format, true clinical exercise adapts to you, your injuries, your goals and your progress.

If you’re ready to move beyond the reformer craze and train with purpose, our physio-led clinical exercise sessions are designed to help you move better, feel stronger and stay injury-free.

Calf strains are common injury seen by our physiotherapists, particularly among runners and people who might be getting back into running or team sports after a break.

Calf strains can feel like a sharp pain in the back of your lower leg, or a cramp you just can’t shake.
Common causes include:
⚡️ weakness or inflexibility
⚡️improper footwear
⚡️overuse and/or increasing your exercise load too quickly.

The good news: while calf strains might be an annoying ni**le, they’re fairly easy to treat!

Your physio can provide you with management advice, strength exercises and a progression plan to get you back on track, safely.

If you’re suffering from calf pain, or are keen to safely increase your running load, book a session with one of our physios!

The start of a new year is a popular time to reset health and fitness goals. But every January, we see the same pattern: people who start exercising too hard, too fast and end up sore, injured or discouraged.

If your goal for 2026 is to move more, get stronger or reduce pain, the key isn’t motivation alone. It’s starting gradually, using evidence-based exercise principles, and choosing the right support.

Your feet take around 8,000–10,000 steps every day, yet most of us barely give them a thought until something hurts.

From plantar fasciitis to arch strain, foot issues can start small but affect your whole body.

👣 Physio tip:

Stretch your calves daily

Strengthen your arches

Swap worn-out shoes regularly

Healthy feet = better movement, balance, and comfort.

With the AFLW season drawing to a close over the weekend, we wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate our physio Emily Fegan and the superstars at Carlton AFLW who made it all the way to the Prelim Final this year! 💪

While they couldn’t quite get over the line against a very strong Brisbane outfit, they had an amazing season and should be proud of their efforts this year!

Big congrats to our gal Em on her hard work with the Blues this year! We’re excited to see what you achieve next year! 💙🤍
