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 Women'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.

Yes you read that right. While we used to think joint pain was just about cartilage wearing down, we now know that systemic inflammation plays a big role.

That means things like:
๐Ÿ˜ฉ Stress
๐Ÿ˜ด Poor sleep
๐Ÿค’ Illness
๐Ÿ”„ Hormonal changes (hello, perimenopause)

โ€ฆcan all make your joints feel worse.

So if your knees, hips or shoulders are flaring up and you canโ€™t quite figure out why โ€“ it might not be ๐˜ซ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต your joints.

The good news? You can absolutely do something about it.

At Vital Core Physio, we help you build strength, improve mobility, and manage pain with tailored support โ€“ whether thatโ€™s 1:1 physio or small group classes.

๐Ÿฆตโš ๏ธ Recurrent Ankle Sprains: Calf Raises! โš ๏ธ๐Ÿฆต

Calf raises are a great exercise after an ankle sprain for their functionality and to better realign the ankle. But, after a sprain, we often see ankles flick out a bit more - often because the ligaments designed to prevent this are injured.

So, if you're doing calf raises, make sure that your form is good, especially at the top. ๐Ÿฆถ๐Ÿป
Watch the video: Do your ankles flick out? Can you use your big toe to lift up?

If you've experienced multiple ankle sprains, book an appointment with Vital Core Physiotherapy, so we can make a plan together for how to get back on the court safely, prevent reinjury, and get you as strong as you can be for the sports you love. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

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.
