Sandstone Point · Physio-led · Small-group
Strength & Balance classes
A small-group class built around the work that keeps you steady, independent and confident at any age. Strength training, balance challenge, and the kind of variety that keeps it interesting week to week. Every class is run by a physio, so exercises are modified to your body and any niggle you're working through.

What to expect
Your first appointment.
1:1 assessment first
Before joining a class, we book you in for a 1:1 with one of our physios. They check your strength, balance, mobility and any conditions, then know exactly how to modify the class exercises for you.
Small group, individual modifications
Each class is capped, so you get plenty of attention from the physio in the room. Everyone works at their own level, the exercises are the same, the version of each exercise gets modified to suit you.
Progress tracked over time
Strength, balance and confidence improve when you turn up consistently. Your physio adjusts your version of the work as you get stronger, so you keep being challenged without being overwhelmed.

FAQs
Common questions.
Where are the classes held?
+
Sandstone Point clinic, in our group-class space. We run three sessions a week, Wednesday and Thursday at 10am, and Friday at 9am.
Do I need to be very fit to start?
+
Not at all. Most people who start with us are well off their previous fitness, or have never trained formally. The class is built to meet you exactly where you're at and progress from there.
Can I use my GP CCMP / Medicare referral?
+
GP CCMP plans (formerly TCA, EPC, or commonly known as Medicare referrals) cover 1:1 physio sessions only. They don't cover group classes, so Strength & Balance can't be claimed under a GP CCMP. We can absolutely use your plan for 1:1 sessions alongside your classes if that suits.
Can I claim through my health fund?
+
Yes. Classes are physio-led and claimable as group physiotherapy (item code 560) under most extras policies. We're HCF preferred and Medibank preferred for physio.
What if I miss a class?
+
We have a strict 24-hour cancellation policy. If less than 24 hours' notice is given, the class is billed in full. We'll always send a reminder in advance so you have time to reschedule.
