WHERE DID PHYSIOCISE COME FROM

In 1995, Physiotherapist Anna-Louise Bouvier started the first classes at the Cammeray Golf Club. The Pilates phenomenon had not started and Physiocise became one of the first medically supervised, exercise classes. Melissa Partington, our MD started working with her almost immediately.

Together they built a business that has taught over 66,000 classes over the last 20 yearsat our two clinics in Sydney. In 1998, Anna-Louise wrote the book Backs, Brains and Breathing which, is now in its 15th Edition, to support clients journey. This has been followed by Fix Your Back (ABC Books) The Feel Good Body (Harper Collins ) and the Happy Body DVD series (ABC Commercial).

The Better Back and Physiocise Class videos are also part of our holistic approach to supporting your journey.

Physiocise was one of the first exercise physiotherapy practices to be recognised by Health Funds and the program is recognised throughout Australia as a leader in the field of exercise rehabilitation for chronic, recurrent pain .

EXPERT TEAM

Our Physiocise Team have outstanding academic ability, finely honed diagnostic skills, excellent teaching ability and a strong commitment to empowering clients to improve their health and wellbeing.

Led by the inimitable Melissa Partington their training continues every day of every week as they participate in seminars, prac meetings, workshops and one on one meetings, all aimed at cultivating a team that is at the cutting edge of professional evidence based practice.

An indication of the value Physiocise places on our team is that we have minimal staff turnover. Many of our staff have been with us between 10 and 15 years and thrive in an environment that supports and values their roles not only as physiotherapists but as mothers, wives and community members.

OUR FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Anna-Louise Bouvier created Physiocise in 1995, starting with one class a week at the Cammeray Golf Course. Physiocise evolved from a vision for a medically supervised, evidence based program for chronic back pain.

Anna-Louise sold the operational side of the practice to Melissa in 2010 but remains heavily involved in the behind the scenes development of educational materials including videos, books and online tools . She has now created the corporate Happy Body At Work wellbeing program, which is an innovative joint venture with the ABC. While a combination of this, media and speaking commitments take up much of her working life, Physiocise remains her passion and she still devotes a great deal of time and energy to the evolution of the program.

OUR MANAGING DIRECTOR

Melissa Partington has been with the practice since it’s inception in 1995 and has a vast experience in the assessment and rehabilitation of long term postural dysfunction and pain pathologies. In 2010 she became Director of Physiocise Sydney and has overseen the growth and development of the two practices with great success. She is a brilliant organiser, motivator and leader and has the strongest commitment to maintaining the exceptional standards of our service delivery both internally and externally.

She is always keen to hear any feedback about the physiocise program as we are constantly assessing our service and delivery. To contact Melissa  click here.
