Vital Core Physiotherapy

Vital Core Physiotherapy 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 sexual 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.

RunFit ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ
RunFit is an 8-week progressive circuit style classes that focuses heavily on strength โ€” something absolutely pivotal for runners who want to build distance and speed while staying injury-free.
The deadlift is fantastic for working:
๐Ÿ‘ Glutes
๐Ÿฆต Hamstrings
๐Ÿ’ช Back muscles
It also helps develop explosive power, which translates directly into better running performance.
๐Ÿ’ก Fun fact: Your max deadlift strength is correlated with running speed.

In this video:
โ€ข The first patient is working on endurance โ€” lighter weight, controlled reps, and building confidence in the movement.
โ€ข The second patient hits a personal best of 85kg ร— 10. Bloody awesome ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘

If you want to:
โœ… Improve strength
โœ… Build confidence with heavier lifts
โœ… Train for athletic goals
โœ… Join a class that pushes you
Then Vital Coreโ€™s RunFit is for you!

There's still a lot of confusion around strength training in teenagers. Particularly around safety, efficacy and feasibility. I'm sure we've all heard these ones before โ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿผ
โŒStrength training will stunt growth
โŒSport alone will build all the strength a teen needs
โŒGrowing pain is normal and should just be pushed through
During growth spurts, strength often lags behind body size and sport demands. The right strength training helps teens tolerate load, reduce injury risk, and stay confident in their sport.
If your teen has pain, recurring injuries, or is struggling to keep up with training demands, strength may be part of the missing link.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸปBook in for an assessment (follow the link in our bio) to support your teen's strength through growth and we will discuss the best treatment pathway to keep your teen actively engaged in sport and performing at their best!

When we talk about strength training for kids, we're not talking about heavy weights or adult gym programs. ๐Ÿšธ
For children, strength training is about learning how to move WELL โ€” building strength, coordination, balance, control and confidence through age-appropriate movements and exercises.๐Ÿง’๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿผ
These foundations matter. Kids who move well are more resilient, less injury-prone, and more likely to stay active as they grow. Strength at this age is about skills first, control second, and then load.
If your child struggles with movement, avoids sport, or you're unsure what's appropriate for their age, we can help guide safe and effective development. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผBook an appointment to support your child's movement now and into the future. We offer not only 1:1 personalised care but also Teen Fit โ€“ a weekly supervised exercise class designed specifically to help your child move better, feel better and get stronger!

Welcome to Vital Core

Located at 433 Magill Rd, St Morris, Vital Core Physio has been helping the community move and feel better since 2004.

Whilst we love to help everyone or every life stage feel and move better we have a particular interest in helping women and girls enjoy an active life.

We are Adelaide's biggest private maternal health physio clinic. Vital Core Physio offer treatment, advice and exercise classes for pregnant and post natal women. We are also highly trained in Pelvic Floor physiotherapy.

We have a particular interest in the recreational runner, particularly women who are approaching or right in middle age, where the requirements of the body are so very different to any other stage or to men.
