Pear Exercise Physiology & Physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: What a warm & friendly welcome I’ve enjoyed as a new client of the Pear community. It’s clear a passion for women’s health under rides the broad range of services provided & always with a personal touch. Just love the newsletter too with regular updates about what’s happening in the studio.

Fantastic experience: 100 classes! So grateful for the support and genuine kindness of the wonderful EPs. I have more strength and confidence with my approach to exercise. I love the community that surrounds Pear at each session. Thank you for the service you provide. Exercise is the medicine I needed!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Kaylene for the amazing pregnancy massage ‍♀️ Was absolutely what I needed.

Fantastic experience: The staff at Pear are wonderful if you have any pelvic health problems or concerns.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at Pear for a few years and I recommend it to any women looking for support with exercise and chronic illness. I saw Esme and Tash for help with exercise while managing POTs, and they were both extremely knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to personalise my exercise plan, as well as teaching me things I can do myself at home to improve my health. I also recommend Michelle for massage therapy and Patrice for pelvic floor physio. The admin team is also super lovely and helpful! Pear offers a truly holistic approach to women's health needs.

Fantastic experience: Pear is a wonderfully gentle and inclusive space. It is always clean, everyone is friendly and Esme's knowledge of hypermobile bodies, EDS etc is incredibly valuable.

Fantastic experience: I have just started with Pear Exercise Physiology & Physiotherapy in the last month after a referral from my specialist. My initial consultation was very thorough and I felt confident in Amanda's very capable hands. I have already noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms. A lovely place with very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Pear highly enough. They have provided me with the expert guidance I needed to begin my rehabilitation journey. A welcoming, supportive environment where everyone feels special.

Fantastic experience: Esme and her team offer an incredible service to women of Brisbane. I regularly refer patients for exercise physiology as their knowledge and care are outstanding.

Fantastic experience: Pear truly understands collaboration. Collaboration between EPs and Physios and collaboration between health professionals and clients. It makes such a big difference to the care when this is at the core of the business. Amazing work Pear!

Fantastic experience: Remedial massage with Jess Boyd is fantastic! Chronic pain and complex chronic illness can make it tricky to find remedial massage that’s safe and consistently effective, but Jess really knows what she’s doing, and is also so kind and bubbly. Pear’s rooms are lovely - bright and modern, with step free access, a very positive atmosphere, and friendly staff. I’ll definitely be recommending them to friends and family.

Fantastic experience: I have had such an amazing experience with Pear. Tash has been so supportive of my goals and has helped me achieve them very very quickly!! She has been very supportive and understanding of my fluctuations of symptoms and energy and has educated me a lot about how to best manage my condition. She always made me feel so comfortable in our sessions even though I’m not used to a gym environment. Thank you so much Tash and the pear team!!!!

Fantastic experience: Have been going here for almost three months and am really enjoying their reformer classes. Lovely, caring staff who are knowledgeable and professional in the service they deliver.

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak more highly of Pear’s team and services and am already sharing with all of my mum friends. Feeling encouraged and empowered through the education and guidance I have received in my pelvic floor physiotherapy sessions with Amanda and my labour prep massage was incredible! Looking forward to more time at Mums and Bubs in the coming months.

Fantastic experience: Pear has been a lifesaver in my health journey. After working with the pelvic and exercise physios at Pear, I finally feel like I’m on the right track with my fitness journey. The staff have been incredible and so welcoming. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: So impressed with Pear. I have been for both exercise physiology during my pregnancy and to the physio therapist for support with pelvic floor in the months after my baby was born. Could not speak highly enough of the excellent care, knowledge and professionalism of the health professionals I have received care from. If you are considering seeing a health professional in relation to women’s health issues I could not recommend this service enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been thrilled with my experience at Pear! Especially the classes. As someone with chronic health conditions I’ve appreciated how all the EPs have listened to me, made adjustments where necessary and cheered me on. Pear classes are a non-negotiable in my week.

Fantastic experience: After injuring my lower back at work postpartum I was sure I would be dealing with chronic pain forever, but after exhausting other therapy options I booked in with Pear and now after attending reformer classes with Georgia every week I am so gratefully PAIN FREE! With the added bonus of feeling stronger and more motivated. I’ve never been very fit and have always failed to stick to an exercise routine but these classes are something I look forward to every week now and I know I’m in safe professional hands. Also the cookies at Apricot next door are life changing

Fantastic experience: The Pear team are fantastic and very knowledgeable in the aspects of female health and rehabilitation. Reformer classes and 1:1 ep and physio sessions have been extremely beneficial. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Super amazing and support environment. Great mum n bubs class, can’t rate it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Pear has been great for me - I had a lot of anxiety about going initially due to less than amazing experience with medical professionals/allied health but I’m so glad I took the plunge. Thank you Pear ☺️

Fantastic experience: Looking for pregnancy massage? Look no further! Book in to see Kayelene Baigent. Hands down, she is the best. I saw three other massage places before finding Kayelene and she is honestly amazing. She listens to your concerns, tailors the massage to you and provides suggestions in between massages to avoid aches and pains from a growing bub. I’d suggest booking in advance as she does get booked up. After I had my first massage, I pretty much booked in the rest of my massages until the end of my pregnancy. Anyway, she is great along with the other wonderful people at pears.

Fantastic experience: I've had a couple of physiotherapy appointments and one exercise physiology appointment so far (with three different professionals) and I highly recommend Pear! Besides being a mom-friendly place (I got to take my toddler with me!) all of them really listened to me and my concerns. They've reassured me and offered help with realistic expectations set - which was great as I tend to expect way too much from things. I found Pear looking for help with my pelvic floor and diastasis recti and I definitely found what I had been looking for!

Fantastic experience: I started prenatal Pilates at Pear when pregnant with my 2nd which contributed to a smooth pregnancy and easy recovery. Since then I've done post-natal Pilates with Annika, the occasional massage with Michelle (heavenly!), exercise physiology with Georgia and pelvic floor physio with Patrice. Georgia has been amazing at building my program up & helping me meet my goals, she's the ultimate hype girl Patrice has worked so hard with me on my pelvic floor issues, her care & home plans are second to none, and the team all work together to ensure joined up support. After my last appointment with Patrice and Georgia I had sign off to return to sport and am feeling like wonder woman! Thanks to the whole team!

Fantastic experience: Such a great little gym! I joined while pregnant and really enjoyed the pregnancy reformer and strength classes. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. And the coffee cart is an added bonus. Would highly recommend for anyone pregnant or looking for an alternative to a large, main-stream gym.

Positive experience: I attended Pear after the birth of my first baby. The staff were friendly and informative on the phone and the booking system was easy. The facilities are great and the desk staff were very welcoming. However, when I attended the appointment I felt like I wasn’t really listened too and my goals were judged, as they were ambitious. I left feeling really flat and not excited about moving forward with Pear. The first appointment was $125 for a half an hour session and each subsequent appointment is $90 for a ‘review’. I think if you want a conservative approach to getting back into exercise, Pear is perfect for you. If you’re athletic and had an active pregnancy, Pear might not be the right fit, as they almost seem to have a one size fits all approach to postpartum activity and didn’t take into consideration what I was saying and my suggestions for my body. This is just my experience and it might not be the same for everyone. I wish that I was more informed and knew that the approach would be very conservative before I spent the money. I cannot speak for their other services, as I’m sure they are great.

Fantastic experience: Sami is amazing. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Always welcoming and friendly at all times. Exercise physiologists are helpful, focused and driven to assist you considering all your injuries and medical conditions.

Fantastic experience: Lovely space with a lovely atmosphere & the Pear team really know their stuff, I always leave with far less pain + discomfort

Fantastic experience: I had a Postnatal Massage with Courtney and she was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to speak about my pre and post pregnancy issues and targeted the right areas leaving me feeling amazing. She was lovely to speak to and connect with and I will be back for a massage AND the mums and bubs Pilates looked awesome on the way out. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Riley for exercise physio and Mikaela for dietitian services and I could not recommend the both of them enough!!! They took the time to get to know my history and were so kind and understanding. They are both so full of knowledge and are great at explaining things in a way that is not overwhelming. I’ve struggled with an eating disorder in the past and after seeing Mikaela I have finally developed a good relationship with food and have never been so happy. Riley has helped me in so many ways to get back into fitness and treating it as fun rather than a punishment. Ladies, I will be singing your praises for the rest of my days! Thank you so much for all of your support x

Fantastic experience: My specialist suggested I try Pear post endometriosis excision surgery to help with the ongoing chronic pain I was suffering that was not improving with medication alone. I was linked in with Esme, who really took the time to listen and learn about what was happening for me at that time and set realistic goals. I saw her for about 6 months in the studio and was able to continue at home with a plan to increase my physical activity without incurring a huge endo flare. I'm just over 12 months post op now, and I went to the gym for the first time this morning completely pain free! Before seeing Esme I would have a 5 day full flare if I attempted a 20 minute gentle workout. My quality of life is so much better thanks to Esme and the Pear team, thank you for educating me about how my body works and how exercise can be used as a tool to heal. The communication back to my specialist was great. This took the burden off my shoulders of communicating with each of my care providers (when you have chronic pain, this can be a whole lot of people) Thank you for being part of my treatment team. I'll definitely be coming back when we start a family. Thanks Pear!

Fantastic experience: Always kind, always considerate and always professional. A relaxed and super friendly studio. The Pear girls are amazing!

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Esme since my 1st pregnancy almost 4 years ago. She has seen me through my pregnancies, my postpartum recovery, chronic pain, a slipped disc and a pinched nerve. She is so incredibly passionate & caring and it's easy to see why Pear has become so successful. Esme is the ultimate professional who is an incredible listener & shows so much empathy. She is so passionate about learning & educating and she instills this with everyone that works around and with her. If Esme has anyone working at Pear, you know that they are the best.

Fantastic experience: I would highly highly recommend this place to anyone during pregnancy with aches, pains or someone who just wants to keep moving well and safely throughout. I have been to pilates, physio and remedial massage with these ladies. They are all very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I would have been in a world of hip and back pain if it wasn't for these ladies. The classes are also perfectly challenging and enjoyable! The pregnancy remedial massage has been one of the highlights of pregnancy so far, out of this world!

Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly. I love the staff at Pear. Highly recommend these guys. Have been going for months for rehab and I am seeing results!

Fantastic experience: I love Pear! I credit them for helping my body stay together during my third pregnancy, and now, two years later, I still love going to their Pilates classes. Gyms aren’t my happy place but Pear is! So if gyms haven’t worked for you (or even if they have) try this lovely inclusive place to keep your body strong and your mind happy

Fantastic experience: The team here are incredibly welcoming. I was nervous before attending my first appointment but that feeling went away very quickly. The facilities are well maintained and the building is located in a nice quiet street. After my first appointment I'm looking forward to continuing to see the team here.

Fantastic experience: Esme and her team at Pear provide a fantastic program and wonderful support for women like myself who are recovering from breast cancer. They are so professional and knowledgeable and keep up to date with cancer treatments and exercise during recovery and throughout treatment. I have been coming to the Pink Moves class for 20 months now and don’t know how I would have recovered from chemotherapy and radiation therapy if it wasn’t for the wonderful program, support and genuine care and kindness shown by these wonderful AEP’s. They are all superstars

Fantastic experience: Love the Pear exercise physiologists. They are so knowledgeable, supportive and caring. I trained with the girls at pear all throughout my pregnancy, right up to the week my bub was born and have continued seeing them since having my son. Small class sizes or tailored one-one sessions to fix any niggling aches and pains. Amazing pre/post pregnancy massages as well. Thanks for all the support through my pregnancy!

Fantastic experience: Excellent services provided by the Pear Team. Esme and Nicole are super friendly and knowledgeable. Great weekly workouts.

Fantastic experience: I have loved every session that I have caught up with Esme. I admire what she is doing and the professionalism of the entire Pear Team. Long live Women’s Health!! And Happy #exerciserightweek

Fantastic experience: I have had over 12 months of daily pain with hip bursitis. I have seen massage therapists, physiotherapists, have had dry needling, cortisone injection and natural alternatives. Nothing has worked until I booked in to see Esme. I have been pain free for 7 days and I am so happy. There were periods when I didn't sleep properly for weeks due to the pain. I am so thankful to Esme and I know I'm not out of the woods yet as Esme has explained in depth the situation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and the team. Thanks Esme.

Fantastic experience: I've had chronic pain in my hip and side from my years of coffee making and have seen a massage therapist on and off to help with the pain and discomfort. I visited Esme and the Pear Exercise girls where she taped up my ribs and took me through some exercises and the discomfort disappeared within 24 hours! They're incredible genuine and want the best outcome for their clients - and don't charge ridiculous initial consult fees like most Physios!!!

Fantastic experience: Had a terrific appointment with Esme. She is very knowledgeable and explained things very clearly to me. She gave me great advice about how to keep exercising safely throughout the last trimester of my pregnancy, which is very important to me. She listened to what I wanted to get out of the appointment, and what I was hoping to do during my pregnancy, and tailored her advice to me. I will definitely be back for a follow up.
