Physio & extra support · with Malvern Physiotherapy Clinic
Sometimes, care comes first.
Some bodies need a clinical eye first: after an injury or surgery, later in pregnancy, or with ongoing pain. That’s where Malvern Physiotherapy Clinic comes in, our sister business a few doors up. Begin with a physio, then class with us when you’re ready.

Clinical Pilates & rehab
A few doors up
Two businesses, one team
Care that moves with you.
Not everyone starts in a group class, and that’s completely fine. Sometimes the steadier first step is a physiotherapist’s eye, and that’s exactly what Malvern Physiotherapy Clinic, a few doors up, is for.
Return and the clinic are run by the same family: Return was founded by Kat and Mark, and Mark is the clinic’s Principal Physiotherapist. The clinic’s physios train our instructors, and the two teams share notes, with your OK, so your care carries across, both ways. Move between us as freely as you like. Start here if you’re:
- Recovering from an injury or surgery
- Past 16 weeks pregnant, or not yet cleared after a baby
- Managing ongoing pain or a condition
- Not sure a group class is safe for you yet
- Wanting a physiotherapist’s eye first
Clinical Pilates & physio
In the best of hands.
Physiotherapy
Hands-on assessment and treatment for injury, pain and sport, including a Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist (as awarded by the Australian College of Physiotherapists) for complex or persistent pain. Good if you’re in pain, carrying an injury, or it just isn’t settling.
Clinical Pilates
Pilates run by physiotherapists, one-to-one or in a small group of three, to recover from injury, build strength and move with confidence. The clinical cousin of our reformer classes. Good if you’d like guided, progressive movement with a clinical eye. On the clinic’s booking site it’s called Physio Led Exercise.
Women's & men's health
Pelvic floor and continence, plus pregnancy and post-natal care, with a physiotherapist who holds post-graduate training in pelvic-floor physiotherapy. Good if you’re pregnant, postnatal, or managing pelvic-floor concerns.
Before & after surgery
Prepare for surgery and rebuild afterward, stage by stage: knee and hip replacements, shoulder repairs, reconstructions and more. Good if you’ve surgery coming up, or you’re recovering from one.
Massage & myotherapy
Remedial massage, myotherapy and dry-needling to ease tension and speed recovery, plus telehealth consults when you’d rather be seen from home. Good if you’re carrying tension, or you’d like expert care from home.
How we work together

Should I start with physio, or with a class?
If you are recovering from an injury or surgery, past 16 weeks pregnant, not yet cleared after a baby, managing ongoing pain, or unsure a group class is safe for you yet, start with a physio. Otherwise start with a class: every instructor is physio-trained and will tell you if a clinical eye is needed first.
Are Return and the clinic the same business?
Two businesses, one family. Return was founded by Kat and Mark. Mark is the clinic’s Principal Physiotherapist. The clinic’s physios train our instructors, and the two teams share notes, with your OK, so your care carries across, both ways.
Where is the clinic?
A few doors up. Return is at 293 Wattletree Road and Malvern Physiotherapy Clinic is at 299, so you can walk between the two in under a minute. You can reach the clinic on (03) 9078 8434 or reception@malvernphysio.com.au.
Can I do classes and physio at the same time?
Yes, and many people do. Move between the two as freely as you like. With your OK, your physio and your instructor work from the same notes.
