Clifton Hill Physiotherapy
At Clifton Hill Physiotherapy, we are passionate about supporting women, mothers, and families through every stage of life. We believe that high-quality physiotherapy is more than treatment — it’s about empowering you with knowledge, confidence, and the right tools to care for your body and wellbeing.
Our experienced team offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to the unique needs of women and their families, including Pelvic Health Physiotherapy, Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, Paediatric Physiotherapy, Clinical Pilates, Mums and Bubs Classes, and safe pre- and post-natal exercise programs. Whether you are preparing for birth, recovering afterwards, managing a musculoskeletal condition, or supporting your child’s physical development, we are here to help.
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is one of our core specialties. We provide gentle, evidence-based care for concerns such as incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, and pregnancy-related discomfort. Our goal is to restore comfort, function, and confidence in your everyday activities.
Our Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists work with clients of all ages to address pain, injury, and postural issues — from back and neck pain to sports injuries and postural imbalances that can occur during pregnancy or while caring for young children.
We also have a dedicated focus on Paediatric Physiotherapy, supporting babies, toddlers, and children with developmental concerns, motor skill challenges, or injury rehabilitation, working closely with families to ensure the best outcomes.
Movement is medicine, and our Clinical Pilates and Mums and Bubs Classes offer a safe, supportive way to build strength, improve posture, and reconnect with your body after birth. All sessions are led by Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists to ensure your exercises are tailored to your needs and safe at every stage.
At Clifton Hill Physiotherapy we are driven by a passion for women’s health and a deep commitment to providing compassionate, individualised care. Our clinic is a welcoming, family-friendly space where you can feel supported, understood, and empowered. We are here to help you move well, feel strong, and thrive — during pregnancy, after birth, and beyond.


Life Ready Studio
Life Ready Studio is an intimate, personal and supportive reformer pilates studio based in Caulfield North, Melbourne.
With only 7 reformers, the client experience feels like a personal session with constant instructor awareness, allowing for necessary adjustments throughout the class. Life Ready Studio was established by Teri, who wanted to create a space where clients could move in a group class but still be seen and adjusted where needed.
Teri thrives on helping and encouraging people to move confidently. She believes that creating a space that challenges clients whilst they move through all stages of life ( Pilates beginner, post injury, antenatal and postnatal as well as advanced Pilates enthusiasts) while feeling fully supported mentally and physically is the key to ultimate wellbeing.
Teri’s main passion is helping mothers and mothers-to-be feel strong and confident in their bodies before and after pregnancy. Having two boys (and a third baby on the way), Teri understands the importance of movement pre- and post-natally to aid the body during pregnancy, for birth, and, most importantly, for recovery. The studio provides support for mums-to-be throughout every trimester, adjusting movement to accommodate the changes in the body. The studio also provides mums and bubs classes so clients can move while having their baby next to them in the pram, on the mat or in the carrier. Each class helps clients regain their strength and confidence, while still allowing them to spend time with their baby and other like-minded mums.

Jamu Postnatal Massage: The Nurturing Tradition Every New Mother Should Experience For Deep Recovery
This is truly special to witness; it's a real privilege. As I’m within the sanctuary of the family's home for up to 4 weeks, you subtly and gratefully become part of the furniture, quietly and respectfully. So as the days pass through this ancient lineage of care, you see things shift physically, which is pure biology to me, but also her smile changes as you walk through the door, her eyes are more vibrant and her skin colour changes
