ABOUT US
Aware Health has been in operation in the Hobsons Bay area since 2003 . Combining Remedial Massage, Myotherapy and Pilates in the one location was a necessity to ensure our valued clients had more safe and affective tools at hand to help them move without pain, manage pregnancy, correct postural dysfunctions, manage chronic pain, prevent injury and of course, get fitter. Sedentary lifestyles can lead to increased musculoskeletal pain, which can then lead into muscle atrophy, depression and other related problems.
Our goal as your health care team, is to help you peel back those layers of pain and stop the cycle. With over 20 years of clinical experience under her belt, Lahn, our principle practitioner, and her team of dedicated therapists and instructors strive to bring you excellent manual therapy and Pilates services by gaining our training through approved educational bodies, industry related association memberships, continuing education and practicing what we preach. Selected practitioners are registered WorkCover Remedial Massage providers.

THE MASSAGE & MYOTHERAPY CLINIC
Our first floor Remedial Massage and Myotherapy clinic, accessed by a short flight of stairs from Mason St, also has a comfortable light-filled studio space where all of our clinical and group Pilates classes are conducted. Our private consultation rooms are fitted with electric tables, table heater, heating and airconditioning and fresh, clean linen. A special pregnancy cushion is provided for Prenatal Massages to enable the mother-to-be to lie safely and comfortably on her stomach during her massages. Just a reminder that this is a health clinic and not a day spa. We won't waste your time and charge you for 15 minutes of faff between appointments because we just don't have the time. We aim to start your appointments on time. Clinical assessments, treatment, exercise or rehab goals are included in your session. Our sessions run back to back so we greatly appreciate you attend your appointment on time and if our practitioners are running late, we endeavour to inform you as soon as possible and make that time up where we can. THE PILATES STUDIO The light filled Pilates studio is fitted with modern Stott Pilates reformers and vertical towers, and small equipment such as Pilates circles, toning balls, foam rollers, resistance bands and the bosu. The studio also has a clinical height reformer with attached vertical frame, enabling a more comfortable mount and dismount onto equipment (great for inflexible knees) and allowing a greater range of exercise modifications. Water and tea making facilities are available for you to use in the kitchenette while attending the clinic and after a satisfying workout you can cross the hall to one of our consultation rooms for your well deserved soft tissue session. All Pilates sessions will begin on time and entry to the studio will be closed 5 minutes after the start time to avoid disruptions to the classes and to ensure all health and safety procedures are adhered to. If arriving early, you are invited to relax in the studio before your Pilates sessions and do some warm up stretches or self massages with our massage balls before classes begin, provided there are no classes running at the time. We request you use the cleaning sprays provided to wipe down any equipment after use. We kindly ask that you turn off or switch to silent all mobile phones and take your calls outside of the clinic to avoid class disruption, and to keep noise levels to a minimum when in the hallway as soft tissue sessions are usually in progress. We strongly advise you bring a bottle of water to rehydrate when necessary as some of our classes can be vigorous as well as mentally challenging. No food, hot drinks or glassware is allowed into the studio space to avoid damage to our equipment and other clients belongings. |

WORKOUT ATTIRE
Try to wear comfortable workout attire that allows freedom of movement without restriction. It is important that your clothing isn't too baggy as we need to easily observe your body levels and movements to ensure the exercises are performed correctly. Pilates is usually performed without shoes and socks. If you prefer to wear socks for hygiene and comfort, we recommend you try a pair of our non-slip grippy Pilates socks you that don't slip on the equipment.
LOST & FOUND
Sometimes, we get all caught up in the adrenalin rush and excitement of the class, or are too relaxed to realise we aren't in Narnia anymore. This is when we forget and leave things behind, like drink bottles, towels, watches and socks. If you've forgotten anything at our studio, you're most likely going to find it set aside in our lost and found box in the hallway. Please feel free to see if your missing item is there. Valuables will be set aside in a secure area for you to pick up on your next visit.
