25.01.2022 Attention all Mouvaire clients: Due to new Government restrictions we are unable to see anyone face to face for physio, gym or clinical exercise from Saturday 13th until Thursday 18th. We are available for Telehealth as needed. DM for information. Please stay safe and we hope to see you as normal on Thursday.

23.01.2022 Who can forget the fitness ball?! One of the first exercise tools of my trade (from over 20 years ago!).

22.01.2022 Balance series 2: A few more basic variations to add some variety to your balance training. These are in no way exhaustive and you can ramp up the challenge as much as you are able.

21.01.2022 Bridge series 1. In previous posts we have highlighted some great mobility work to do as part of your daily routine. Now it’s time to get things moving. Bridges are such a great foundation exercise and so often not done well. So we are highlighting some of our favourites. ... For most here are our top tips: keep The feet flat! (Except for series 2 coming soon). guide the weight over the top of your feet. Don’t push back towards your head. keep head and shoulders relaxed try not to use your chest as the driving force. Keep ribs relaxed. lift through the buttocks / hips region. Versions: 1. Regular feet hip width apart 2. Feet together 3. Ball between knees 4. Ball squeezes 5. Knee openings with band Remember.. these are just different varieties depending on what you are trying to activate or achieve. We will post more variations next week. Stay tuned and get in touch if you have any questions. #physio #physiotherapist #performingarts #prahranphysio #bridges #exercise #glutes #rehab #pilates #clinicalpilates #performingartsmedicine See more

20.01.2022 Shoulder Series Where do we start? We have all heard of someone that has had a rotator cuff tear or frozen shoulder or just that dodgy shoulder. Up until even a few years ago, surgery or invasive treatment was a strong component of treatment. But fortunately things have changed and we can often get great results without surgery and without the possible complications associated with such an invasive procedure. Each of these exercises can be used for so many different sh...oulder or scapulo-thoracic issues. So please always seek guidance before attempting. But I also love to use many of these for prehab or shoulder warm ups. There are many variations - use of bands, weights, ranges etc. 1. Side lying External rotation 2. Side lying T’s 3. Side lying Y’s 4. Side lying I’s 5. Side lying flexion 6. Back bracing 7. Scaption 8. Banded scaption 9. Wall slides stay tuned for the next series of some more loaded and dynamic exercises.

20.01.2022 The Pilates Ball Where do we even start with the Pilates ball or sift ball? Here are just a few ideas for some activation and mobility work with this little legend of a prop! 1. Bridges - great to place between knees or feet to help alignment and also energise doings and pelvic floor. 2. Squeezes - as above can help active pelvic floor and TrA and also get hip muscles firing! ... 3. Prep for abs/ thoracic extension - a double whammy. 4. Roll backs / roll ups - the ball adds a little support and feedback. Great for abdominal control and spinal mobility. You can take this in smaller ranges too. 5. Thread the needle - great mobility exercise for the spine and shoulders. 6. Side bends/ adduction - the balm add that extra element of stability and complexity. Jerks the pelvis aligned and again can help activate the pelvic floor. 7. Mermaids- one of our favourites. Try it! 8. Side to sides - lumbosacral mobility. Play around with the air in the ball. 9. Wall circles - shoulder stability and control needed here. Have a play - which is your favourite. Remember there are hundreds of variations and ideas out there. #pilates #physio #physiotherapy #prahran #prahranphysio #clinicalpilates #performancemedicinechristmaspacks See more

20.01.2022 A moment of thank you. This year was so scary deciding to open @mouvaire in the middle of a pandemic! But I was so fortunate to have @michelle.physio and @health_love_and_fitness come on board and choose to make their work home @mouvaire studio . Thank you Michelle and Joseph. And a special thank you to all our clients that choose us to help take care of them.

18.01.2022 As a physio, we never stop learning. This weekend Mimi is adding to her repertoire with more ante and post natal Pilates care education.

18.01.2022 Ted-Baker supervising in the clinical exercise session!

18.01.2022 Don't forget...we are turning 1 ! Come along and you are in the running to win some great door prizes!

15.01.2022 Wundachair playtime: It’s been a couple of months since I’ve stepped foot in this apparatus. I didn’t have a load of time but to get on it was fun. I did note my single leg balance needs some improvement. Will work on that!

15.01.2022 Tape: plantar foot. There are sooooo many variations of this tape job. So please do not take this as the only way or indeed the only way I tape plantar foot issues. This is a simple version. I always change it up depending on the person and their presenting issues. As treatment tool, it’s just one thing I may use to help with acute pain of the plantar foot (Ie. plantar fasciitis). Like most physio, it takes a combo of the right prescription- assessment, pain management, education, mobility and strength. Can you see the extra guest on the table?! . #tape #athletictape #physio #foot #physiotherapy #prahranphysio #melbournephysio #footpain

15.01.2022 A little love on Valentines at Mouvaire - https://mailchi.mp/f4390eac/valentines-at-mouvaire-10863834

14.01.2022 We are closing in to the end of 2020! What a huge year. Unexpected changes and new beginnings. But we made it - thanks to all of you for your support. Myself, Joseph and Michelle are each taking some time off over Dec and January (see pics) but are exited to see you all back over January 2021!

14.01.2022 As Victoria crawls to the finish line (yes we are tired), we must not let our hygiene and COVIDSafe practices wane. @mouvaire we wash, sanitise hands, equipment and surfaces with hospital grade products. We ask all clients to also continue to wash and sanitise hands on arrival and departure from our studio. Let’s get back to #normal as soon as we can and maintain our standards. #physio #personaltraining #pilates #clinicalpilates #prahran #southyarra #physiotherapy #fitness #performingartsphysio #movement #mouvaire #covid #covidsafe

14.01.2022 Balance Series 1: how is your balance? Is it different left toright? Struggle with adding eyes closed or turning your head? We love working on all types of balance exercises at Mouvaire. More coming soon.

12.01.2022 Stretching: such a widely debated word! I do like stretching but I much prefer mobility work. What is the difference? Stretching tends to mean in broad terms - Taking a muscle/tendon into a position of maximal range and length. But what also occurs is lengthening a nerve (which can cause irritation) and potentially putting a joint into a compacted position. Light stretching can be great for certain issues and general well-being - think restorative positions such as happy b...aby or child’s pose in yoga. But I prefer moving a joint or muscle through it’s range and also strengthening muscles. Many times a tight muscle can mean it’s just not as strong as it should be. So we keep stretching or rolling it out but nothing changes. Now I know.. this is quite over simplified and it’s a very broad topic. But maybe think twice about continuous over stretching for those glutes that feel tight?! Maybe look at mobility of the hips or spine and even look at how strong the glutes actually are! Just a thought. #physio #personaltraining #pilates #clinicalpilates #prahran #southyarra #physiotherapy #fitness #performingartsphysio #movement #mouvaire

12.01.2022 Mouvaire socials will be a little quiet over the holiday period as Mimi, Michelle and Joseph take some time to see family over the holidays. Feel free to DM us if you need to schedule an appointment upon our return.

07.01.2022 Bridge Series 2: (note this is sped up 2.5x) Some more great variations for all things bridges. These exercise each focus of different elements of the body.

07.01.2022 We’ve got you. Physiotherapy is still an essential service. Although our face to face services have been very restricted during stage 4 lockdown, please don’t let this affect your pain or dysfunction. To limit movement within the community we are still strong advocates of Telehealth with great results and we love seeing your faces (and pets). But if you think you need more care than this or need an in depth assessment, don’t hesitate to contact us. We are availabl...e for face to face treatment for a variety of criteria. We know it’s been tough but we are here to help you and will find the best solution to keep you and the community safe. #physio #personaltraining #pilates #clinicalpilates #prahran #southyarra #physiotherapy #fitness #performingartsphysio #movement #mouvaire

04.01.2022 Have you done your calf rises today? Research is abound of the effectiveness of the humble calf rise on foot and lower limb mechanics and strength. I don’t doubt if you’ve been through our doors, you most likely have been given a version of this simple but of so powerful exercise. 1. DL calf rise 2. Adducted calf rise - focuses on tibialis posterior & flexor digitorum Longus 3. Abducted - peroneal Longus... 4. SL eccentric - increased load on structures such as Achilles tendon and PF 5. SL calf rise - how many can you do? Depending on age and activity needs we look for an average of 25 per leg. (NB. A guide only) 6. DL eccentric calf rises - adding further load and length with a step for strength and endurance. 7. Ball between ankles - this little trick can help alignment of the foot, ankle and lower limb. Extra feedback can help with activation issues. 8. Rise with MTP in extension - places increased load of plantar fascia which may induce load capacity through the plantar foot. @fasciitisfighter By no means an exhaustive list and more listed soon. Always seek health care advice to select which options are suited to you. See more

04.01.2022 Masks are back! Please wear a mask to all sessions and we kindly ask the you continue to check in using our QR code upon entry.

03.01.2022 The neck! How often have you had a pain in your neck? Causes are wide and varied. Way too many to list here. But here is a simple, gentle and effective exercise that so many clients love to do. It’s a play in deep neck flexor work (think core for your neck). The most important thing I cue is - relax into the floor and ball. Don’t work too hard and just let the movement happen. ... Let me know what you think. See more

02.01.2022 If you have 5 mins.. give this little routine a go. You don’t need a lot of time or space to get the blood flowing and work out the little kinks. Note: this is sped up 3x.
