I cannot speak more highly of this professionally run organisation. From my first appointment more than 2 years ago I have been treated with care, understanding and encouragement. I now attend the clinic weekly for pilates and regularly for physio, remedial massage and dry needling. I feel well and healthy as a result of the sessions. The staff are all great and I love the sense of community which exists here.

The whole team at Port Melbourne Physiotherapy and Pilates are just the best. I started going many many years ago and they have helped me manage my back injuries and increase my fitness in not only the most professional manner but its also a fun environment to exercise in. There are a lots of Pilates classes to choose from so you will always find a time that will suit you. I have been seeing Ali and Sarah and they have helped me be in the best physical shape I have been in for a very long time.
Lastly, I must mention Cassie who has the best Remedial Massage Hands in the business.

In my case, I finish feeling like I have had a satisfyingly tough workout. It has certainly changed my original impression that pilates was a light exercise routine predominately for women!! The staff also create a

We have been clients of this very professional practice for many years, and watched it grow and evolve to meet the needs of the Port Melbourne community. Impressive to see the range of clients, conditions and age groups treated for [Iam sure] very complex conditions. Our own personal experience reflects the high level of care, ever changing illness and injuries that the highly qualified staff are able to treat so efficiently. Most of all we always feel comfortable and secure in the knowledge that we are receiving the latest and up to date care and advice due to the commitment to ongoing training

Highly recommend the team at Port Melbourne Physiotherapy & Pilates. Their management of my ongoing back problems has been second to none. Physio led pilates classes also helped me stay strong during & after my twin pregnancy. They have repeatedly gone over and above to provide amazing support and show that they genuinely care about their clients.

I have been seeing Ali for physio and Pilates for the past few years, the classes have really helped strengthen my back and overall fitness. She is really caring, knows her stuff and has referred me to other health professionals that she has as part of her local Port network.
I highly recommend her services, if you need a good Physio she is great.
