A Full Body Dance Assessment

It’s a thorough head to toe screening that finds strengths and weaknesses that may contribute to problems with technique or injury. This assessment helps us tailor a strength and conditioning program that can be supervised in our Physio based Pilates classes or given to do at home. A report can be given to teachers and parents if needed.

After moving to the GC a few years back I needed to find some people to look after my health & well being and looking online I found this place. I’ve been coming to the studio for 2 years now for a variety of treatments including massage, acupuncture, physio, pilates & most recently chiropractic work. I love the evidence, multidisciplinary based approach and have found every treatment fantastic and the staff friendly. I also love the ethos of the studio which shows through in a variety of ways, right down to the toilet paper (Who Gives a Crap!). I can’t recommend it enough!

I have been going to this amazing studio for just over two years since arriving on the Gold Coast. It is a one-stop wellness centre and it has changed my life. The staff are truly dedicated to their roles and have educated me on how to maintain my body and set me up for life. Thank you!

I searched for a good pregnancy massage at many different clinics and then found Leesa at The Living Well studio after being referred by a friend. So glad I found her! She sorted out my back pains after 1 session!
