Our Story
Women's Health Hub has grown from our clinic previously known as Ripple Physio & Pilates.
With tireless thought the decision was made to rebrand as we grew into a multidisciplinary clinic with a passion to treating women within our local community. Ripple is our roots and we have incorporated this into our rebrand and you will see ripple artwork and reference to this.
Have you noticed that one action has an ongoing effect on another? That when you are feeling happy you also feel strong?; or when one thing goes wrong, it seems that everything is going wrong. For every action, there is a ripple of ongoing actions. Ripple was created with this as our base.
When our clients come to the clinic they are usually presenting with an injury or some type of discomfort or pain, as a result, unable to do things they love like walking, hiking, canyoning, etc., this may then lead to missing important social events and then they feel they are stuck. This is an ongoing ripple effect.
When we treat our clients and meet their body's requirements we see the results ripple throughout their lives.
While it may seem small, the ripple effects of small things is extraordinary.
