COVID-19 UPDATE
At Viva, we remain committed to helping Victorians stay safe by providing a combination of face-to-face and online services. We’re here to support you both at the clinic or in-person depending on your situation.
With Victorian restrictions now easing, we are happy to be able to offer face-to-face physiotherapy for all consultations- including routine care. With a fully-vaccinated team and a high standard of hygiene and COVID-safe procedures, you’ll feel secure as you return to our clinic. If you prefer to continue with at-home treatment, we continue to offer our online consultations as an effective, contact-free option. Our studio classes are currently running to the regular timetable of both in-person and online sessions.
We have also introduced some new consultation and class formats. You can read about what’s available and how to book below, or get straight into booking an appointment or a class online.
Booking a Consultation
In-Person Consults

We can meet you online for all of your usual consultations plus a few new consult types developed especially for those who are working from home. You’ll be surprised at just how effective we can be through the online portal, using household items and contortions of your own body to treat your pain and help you set yourself up to thrive at home.
