Treatment & Rehabilitation 
at Empower Physio & Pilates

At Empower Physio & Pilates you’re in the safe hands of experienced clinician, Sara Dore.

We specialise in exercise based treatment options, with the added advantages of an on-site pilates fitness studio, and Real Time Ultrasound Imaging.

Individual rehabilitation sessions with Sara Dore are available, using the combination of conventional physiotherapy together with Clinical Pilates to produce excellent results for:
  • those injuries you can't get rid of (sub-acute and chronic injuries);
  • back and neck pain;
  • sports injuries
  • osteoporosis;
  • arthritis;
  • muscle and ligament sprains and strains;
  • pre- and post-operative exercise and rehabilitation;
  • breathing disorders (click here for more information)
  • overuse injuries
  • post pregnancy



Clinical Pilates was developed by physiotherapists to incorporate the latest in injury management and rehabilitation. Clinical Pilates is now being used in physiotherapy rehabilitation programmes in NZ, Australia, UK, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Africa.  Clinical Pilates is also the subject of new doctoral research in Australia.

Pilates rehabilitation sessions with the Sara are covered by ACC (with co-payment) and private health insurance.  All physiotherapy appointments are for half an hour.

From research it has become quite evident, as noted by the Australian Physiotherapy Association that the most effective management for low back pain was the “exercise programmes designed by physiotherapists”

Come and see how Sara and use of clinical pilates can work for you.
