Story

Lifecare Prahran Market Pilates and Injury Rehabilitation is a unique physiotherapy clinic located in a large new light-filled space above the iconic Prahran Market. Our staff are all highly experienced physiotherapists- most of whom have completed Masters level qualifications in Sports Physiotherapy or Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, including a Specialist Sports Physiotherapist (knee specialist). Our modern, well-equipped gym space also allows us to combine exercise based treatment seamlessly with traditional hands on therapy.

We are thrilled to be able to offer services to patients which aren’t available elsewhere in Melbourne- including strength testing on our state of the art Keiser pneumatic resistance equipment. These tests help detect areas which need further strengthening, and help monitor and direct rehabilitation. We consult for several of Melbourne’s leading orthopaedic surgeons, assisting patients reach their highest possible level of function either post-operatively, or with conservative management of their injuries. We also complete a large number of evidence based return to sport tests- combining measures of agility, strength and motor control for clients following injuries such as ACL reconstructions. Our expertise also lies in formulating safe, effective exercise programs for people managing conditions such as knee and hip arthritis, and patellofemoral pain.

Our Pilates Studio at Prahran Market Pilates and Injury Rehabilitation is fully equipped with reformers, trapeze tables and a wide range of other pilates equipment to allow our Clinical Pilates sessions to be individually tailored to each client and their specific goals. All of our 1:1 pilates sessions and small group classes (maximum of 4 participants) are taught by Clinical Pilates trained physiotherapists, following on from individual assessments using real time ultrasound which helps patients learn the correct pattern of core muscle recruitment. Clinical Pilates is ideal for patients recovering from various injuries, women pre and post-natally, and for people wanting a improve their posture, flexibility, strength and co-ordination.
