Physio Fit Glenelg

Physio Fit Glenelg is a physiotherapy and exercise clinic at 18 Partridge Street, just off Jetty Road in Glenelg. Previously known as Aspire Physiotherapy and Pilates Glenelg, it supports people of all ages with pain management, injury recovery, injury prevention and return-to-activity goals. The clinic’s team describes itself as friendly and energetic, with a focus on giving clients practical tools and techniques to help them recover and stay active.

The clinic offers general Physiotherapy and Sports Physiotherapy, covering concerns including sports injuries, shoulder, knee, hip and groin pain, neck and back conditions, pre- and post-natal care, and post-operative rehabilitation. Treatment may combine hands-on massage, dry needling, strength and conditioning, and guided rehabilitation. For sports injuries, the team works with athletes from weekend participants through to professional level, using a rehab gym, strength-testing equipment and mat Pilates studio to build strength, agility, control and sport-specific movement. Where surgery is involved, the clinic says it can work alongside a client’s medical team and surgeon.

Exercise classes are a central part of the Glenelg offering. Options include strength-based rehabilitation, Mums & Bubs mat Pilates, pregnancy mat Pilates, open and gentle mat Pilates, the GLA:D program for osteoarthritis, and Move & Groove. Classes are led by physiotherapists, held onsite and limited to no more than eight people. They are designed for a broad range of needs, from athletes rebuilding after injury and parents returning to exercise to retirees looking to maintain strength, mobility and independence. The website also notes that these classes may be eligible for private health insurance rebates where physiotherapy cover applies.

The Glenelg team includes Lauren Tyberek, Tom McCartney, Alexandra Sicari and Hayden Rothe, with interests spanning running and endurance injuries, lower-limb problems, sporting and gym-related injuries, pre- and post-natal pain, spinal conditions, balance and mobility for older adults, and Pilates. Hayden also lists acupuncture among his areas of practice. With its combination of individual physiotherapy, sports rehabilitation and small-group exercise, Physio Fit Glenelg suits solo clients seeking help with pain or injury, people returning to sport, and those wanting supervised movement and conditioning in a clinical setting. The clinic services Glenelg and nearby Adelaide suburbs including Somerton Park, Warradale, Brighton, Seacliff, West Beach and Henley Beach.
