What to expect at Viva Physiotherapy

We are conveniently located in the Melbourne CBD on the corner of Flinders Lane and Elizabeth Street and can be accessed through many transport links the city has to offer.

We will ensure we have a physiotherapy solution tailored to you and so we guarantee that your entire appointment will be spent one-on-one with your physiotherapist to discuss, diagnose and treat your injury.

At Viva Physiotherapy we specialise in sports injuries, spinal problems, back pain, neck pain and general ergonomic conditions. We also have speciality services such as Pilates, acupuncture, sports massage, running assessments and dry needling.

Your appointment will last for 30 minutes (above and beyond the 15-20 minute industry standard) and in this time you will be assessed thoroughly by your physiotherapist to determine the source of your pain and the cause of the dysfunction.

If you've suffered an injury in recent times, Pilates is one of the most popular types of rehabilitation available. It's fun, safe and most importantly, very effective in reducing your chance of injury recurrence and decreasing your pain.
