Strong at the bottom = bulletproof everywhere.

The full-range trains hip mobility, glute strength, and knee control in one joint-friendly pattern. We coach tempo, depth, and balance so you build usable mobility that carries to squats, running, and daily life—no guesswork, just results.

Make new range—and keep it

. Our partner-assisted stretching adds gentle, precise support so you can access positions you can’t reach alone, then we reinforce it with strength at end range. Perfect for tight hips/shoulders, desk bodies, and over-40s who want safe, lasting mobility gains at Body Matrix, South Melbourne.

Life doesn’t always go to plan. When parts creak, snap, or simply protest the years — you don’t need another lecture; you need a plan. At Body Matrix, we handle both sides of the coin: prehab to prevent injuries, and rehab to return you to training the right way. We coordinate referrals when needed and deliver the after-care that actually sticks.

What We Mean by Prehab

(Prevention with Purpose)

• Strength where it matters: We build strength at end range so joints are stable, not fragile.

• Movement quality first: Hips, shoulders, spine, ankles — restore control, then load.

• Workload management: Smart progressions, deloads, and volume that your tissues can handle.

• Habits that hold: Ten-minute micro-routines that keep you out of the physio waiting room.

What Rehab Should Be (Not Just Time Off)

• Assessment > assumptions: Range, pain patterns, history, and training demands.

• Tissue capacity rebuild: Isometrics → tempos → controlled load → sport/goal-specific return.

• Integration: We don’t rehab in a vacuum — we re-train your lifts and daily life.

• Return-to-train, not just “rest”: Clear criteria and checkpoints so you know you’re ready.

Common Issues We See (and Solve)

• Rotator cuff irritation & scapular instability

• Lower-back grumbles from desk life or poor bracing

• Hip/hamstring tightness masking weakness

• Knee pain (patellar/ITB) from poor mechanics & load spikes

• Ankle mobility and foot control for better squats/running

Referrals: When medical input is required, we’ll point you to the right clinician -

— then handle the after-care so you don’t boomerang back injured.

How It Works (Our 5-Step Process)

1. Screen & Set Targets — pain, range, strength, function

2. Calm It Down — isometrics/positions that reduce symptoms

3. Build It Up — progressive loading & end-range strength

4. Lock It In — technique work for your actual lifts/sport

5. Keep It — micro-routine + load plan to stay bulletproof

Who It’s For

• Over-35s who feel “tight and fragile”

• Lifters who keep tweaking the same spot

• Desk-bound bodies with angry shoulders/backs/hips

• Return-to-play or return-to-train after a layoff

• Anyone who wants fewer setbacks and better training

FAQs

Do I need a doctor or physio referral first?
Not always. If red flags show up, we’ll refer you. Otherwise, we can begin conservative care and coordinate as needed.

How fast can I get back to training?
Faster than doing nothing — but it depends on the issue. Our goal is safe, graded loading so you can train around the problem while fixing it.

Is this just stretching?
No. We combine mobility with strength at end range, technique fixes, and load management — that’s why the results last.

Can you work with my clinician?
Absolutely. We love a good team effort and will follow your provider’s guidelines.

• “Pair this with Mobility & Stretching to keep your new range.”

• “Ready for structure? Personal Training accelerates rehab.”

• “Big comeback goal? See our Transformations.”

Prevention keeps you training; proper rehabilitation keeps you training longer. We do both.
