Viva is the place where we take you from being in pain to using movement to transform your body, your strength, and your approach to life. Think of it as your own personal improvement space where you can be taught how to make your body move at its best, through our three-stage approach: Relieve, Restore and Perform.
You can meet us face-to-face in our sunny CBD studio, however, we also offer all of our services online, if you prefer the comfort of your own home. Relieve is the first stage of the process. It's all about taking away your pain. We'll start with scans and a proper diagnosis, maybe a referral or two, then soothe things down with massage and manual physiotherapy.

In 2011, Kath opened the Viva Pilates studio and started teaching classes. As the years rolled on, we have added clinical movement classes, therapeutic yoga classes, Viva Strong classes and Stay Fit in Pregnancy classes. What started as a clinical practice has become something more ambitious. A holistic movement and wellness studio, mixing everything from sports massage and spinal mobilization to pregnancy Pilates.
We have a very simple pricing structure, based on the time you spend with us, either in the studio or online. For your ease we use HICAPS and we are registered with all the major health funds. Your Worksafe Insurer will cover the bulk amount of your physiotherapy treatments here at Viva. In order to maintain a high level of service and uphold our 30-minute duration appointment times, we require you to pay a gap.
Viva started as a physiotherapy practice, and physio is still the core of what we do. We're a hands-on clinic - literally. Each of our physiotherapists has been picked for their friendliness, clinical experience, and impeccable qualifications. You're in good hands here. We put a big focus on long-term wellness.
We call this the RELIEVE phase because it's the time we focus on diagnosis, manual therapy and complimentary treatments like dry needling and deep tissue work that aim to relieve your pain. Tackling this phase is key to working toward long-term pain relief. When you visit Viva you will be paired with a physio who has a special interest in your type of injury, meaning you're on a faster road to recovery.
This is the part that sets Viva apart; where we look closely at the way your body is put together; how your stability muscles work, how your posture influences your movement patterns, how your strength holds you up if you're sitting at your desk, quickly changing direction or hitting a ball. Our physios analyse the way you move and help restore you to how your body should ideally work.

The best physio I've ever been to! I came for advice for my constant back-aches, and after going to multiple physios over the years with the same problem, the support I got from Viva was ten times better than any of them combined. They were also incredible during my pregnancy, and made the experience pre and post birth so much better than it would have been otherwise. I can't recommend them enough.

I had an online / virtual appointment with Michael today to start rehab after abdominal surgery. I was really impressed with how comprehensive the session could still be. Michael followed up with an email with a summary of our discussion and my exercises / plan. With our current circumstances, it’s fantastic to still have options to see a physio.

I can't recommend this studio and the physio's enough. I'm pregnant; and now in my third trimester, and I am so grateful to be able to continue to stay strong, join pilates at home via zoom sessions and have both online and physical check ins. Thank you to the team at Viva Physio for being so flexible and evolving with the current situtation!

Had a great first appointment with Jess today. The clinic is beautiful in a great location with lovely city views. The receptionist was very friendly and happily accepted my GP’s care plan. Jess had a lovely manner and spent a good amount of time getting to know my history. I’ve injured my foot through running and I would definitely recommend Jess to others runners as she certainly knows lot a about running training and technique in addition to her knowledge of running injuries. After an initial assessment, Jess worked on some tightness in my feet and calves, then explained some exercises for

I've been working regularly with the physios at Viva for 18 months now, and have had a range of mix of manual therapy, clinical and mat pilates and yoga sessions. I had tried a lot of other treatment options before this trying to fix long term problems arising from spinal injuries, but Viva has made the biggest difference. A wonderful calm studio space with skilled physios and a genuinely therapeutic focus. Thanks all.

I started attending Viva Physio at the start of the year to recover from hernia surgery. Since then I have gone from strength to strength under the wonderful guidance of Marie, and I am back playing sport at a competitive level. She is quick to identify issues, creates effective and useful programmes for recovery, and most importantly listens and is willing to take things at your pace.
