The Alignment Studio

I saw Tara at the Alignment Studio on Friday. Despite my late notice, I was fitted in on the day. I was a little apprehensive at first as I have quite a complex history of widespread, generalised pain. At times, I have found other clinics to be lacking in understanding of the condition; however, Tara demonstrated her clinical expertise and empathy when providing excellent treatment, alongside compassion and understanding. I am especially impressed with the Alignment Studio’s capacity to tailor their treatment to my current needs. The multi-faceted approach enabled me to receive both hands-on myotherapy/massage, as well as physical Pilates and strength exercises. And all for a reasonable price! I had a specially tailored Pilates and strength session, alongside follow-up exercises to maintain the improvement I felt today.

I felt compelled to write a review as I have visited many practitioners over the years, and appreciate good, honest, genuine feedback. Tara herself was extremely knowledgeable, made me feel at ease, and was an expert at her craft. My Pilates and strength session set me up with exercises I can replicate at home or at the gym – something I value greatly. Despite my lack of confidence with the exercises, Tara was patient, understanding and non-judgmental, helping me every step of the way. I couldn’t recommend Tara or the Alignment Studio highly enough. If in doubt, book! You won’t regret it. Thank you so much Tara.

I have been a patient of Louise Anderson for more than 20 years because she is the best podiatrist in Melbourne. She is committed to ensuring healthy feet, eliminating the cause of pain and discomfort. Louise is so skillful in her profession that treatment never hurts.
When Louise identified a serious problem, she immediately obtained an emergency appointment with the leading orthopedic surgeon. Her action literally saved my foot!
Louise always follows up after treatment and shows genuine care for her patient's wellbeing.

I initially came to Pete at the alignment studio for some back issues I had from work but ended up also seeing him after I injured my knee. In both of these cases, Pete provided excellent advice and exercises and helped ease the pain and tightness in my muscles.

My knee is on the mend and my back is in a great condition! It's actually such a relief to not have to sit at a desk in discomfort.

If you're dealing with a chronic pain or an injury, which I've now seen Pete for both, I highly recommend visiting the Alignment Studio!

I would highly recommend Michelle Labonia at The Alignment Studio to anyone in need of a physio! I’ve visited her several times for upper back and chest pain and numbness/tingling in my arm and always feel I'm in the best hands. Michelle is very thorough and knowledgeable and you can tell she has a genuine interest and care for her patients. Amazing treatment from start to finish and explains everything in such a helpful way. The exercises and posture adjustments she has given me have been so effective and I am so grateful!

I was injured playing AFL, I called Pete and he was able to diagnose my injury over Telehealth and organised the necessary scans and over the next couple of hours I had a boot fitted and clear recommendation for a orthopaedic follow up

I first walked through the doors of The Alignment Studio in mid-2022, weighed down by a multitude of old injuries. I did not have any expectations, and assumed I might be able to improve ‘a little bit’.
Now, having worked with Michelle (who is a fantastic Physiotherapist), I can honestly say I have seen a real change in how I feel both mentally and physically. Michelle’s kind and compassionate approach to every session makes exercising really enjoyable.
Thank you again Michelle, and thank you to the team at The Alignment Studio, I would recommend it to anyone.

I was suffering from a chronic cough and subsequently injured my intercostal muscles. I booked an appointment with The Alignment Studio with physiotherapist Michelle and felt so secure and knew I could place my trust in her with my recovery. Michelle went above and beyond for me - from detailing and explaining my condition for work, treating my injury to hearing me out and providing information of support - the level of compassion and kindness she holds are exemplary and I couldn't recommend her enough! I also couldn't leave this review without adding that Mariana (practice manager), has always greeted me with warmth and ensures all clients have a pleasant experience. So THANK YOU to Alignment Studio, for having so much passion in what you do which then flows into the quality care and concern you give your patients.

Michelle was great to work with. I presented with really bad lower back pain. Massage provided some immediate relief and I was given exercises to prevent further injury.

The Alignment Studio is well fitted out and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Michelle is a wonderful physio. She has worked miracles on my dodgy body. I’m not wishing an injury on myself, but if I do need treatment I know where to head straight away.

I had strained my back and booked an urgent session last week with Michelle, she did an awesome job in getting me mobile again and with a follow up session today, my back is feeling great. Such a pleasant experience with The Alignment Studio with the convenience of being in the CBD. A big shout out to Michelle, thanks again.

I come to The Alignment Studio from out of area because every teacher I’ve had there has been fantastic.

Fantastic studio, great muscle relief after my session with very knowledgeable physio therapists

Peter Bond is an expert in TMJ. He listens and is very compassionate. Sena is an attentive and caring massage therapist. Everyone at Alignment studio is wonderful! I highly recommend this place.

Shani’s Pilates classes are really enjoyable and very helpful at keeping my lower back issues under control. Highly recommend and lovely studio.

I received an Enhanced Primary Care {EPC) Program from my GP which included physiotherapy as an allied health option, I chose The Alignment Studio and Peony Fernandes as my physiotherapist, Peony was excellent, very thorough and wanted to treat the whole patient not just the symptoms. I felt that she cared about me and the pain I was enduring. The rooms were quite modern situated in Collins Street. Altogether a good experience.

Loving the support and service at Alignment Studio - Naiha has been treating me for an ongoing back issue and her expertise, attention to detail and fresh ideas are great! Would definitely recommend this practice for their physiotherapy.

I’m so grateful for Pete and his team at The Alignment Studio. I came in with hip pain due to pregnancy, and in only 3 weeks had noticed a huge change. Pete gave me great advice, and not only did I walk away feeling hugely better - but also with great restaurant tips! Personable and professional - I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Pete and the team were fantastic. Handled my rehab from hip surgery like absolute pros. If you're looking for a physio in Melb, this is the place to go.

A wonderful professional team and first class facilities. I've been lucky enough to have Neha treating my lower back and mobility issues. Her genuine care for helping you get to the best version of yourself is incredible. She always listens attentively and her knowledge and treatment philosophy is what keeps me coming back.

My husband has been a client of this studio for the last 2 months with a work related knee issue and sciatica. Connor the physio is magic. The other half raves about this place, and if I ever have an injury that needs fixing, I’ll make the trek into the city.

Thanks for helping Mark get back into his groove.
