If you’ve ever had an injury, lived with ongoing pain, or simply felt like your body wasn’t moving as freely as it used to, there’s a good chance Marianna from PrimeBody Physiotherapy can help.
Based right here in Brighton, PrimeBody Physiotherapy is all about supporting people to feel stronger, move better, and get back to doing what they love — whether that’s walking along the waterfront, playing with the grandkids, or returning to sport after injury.
A Personal Approach to Physiotherapy
At the heart of PrimeBody Physiotherapy is Marianna Bernal Arteaga, the clinic’s founder and principal physiotherapist. Originally from Mexico, Marianna made Australia her home in 2011, bringing with her more than 15 years of experience and a passion for helping people understand their bodies and take charge of their recovery.
Her friendly, down-to-earth approach is what locals love most. Marianna takes time to listen — really listen — to what’s going on, what your goals are, and what matters most to you. From there, she creates a practical and achievable plan to help you recover, stay active, and feel confident again.
Her philosophy is simple: when you understand your injury — what caused it, how to improve it, and how to manage it independently — you’re better equipped to take charge of your own health and wellbeing.
Clinical Expertise with a Holistic Touch
With a background spanning hospitals, community health centres, and private practice, Marianna’s experience covers a wide range of conditions and recovery needs. She combines hands-on therapy with tailored exercise programs, guiding clients through every stage of their journey — from early intervention to long-term management.
Her expertise includes:
- Musculoskeletal and neurological rehabilitation
- Post-surgical recovery
- Sports injury management
- Chronic and complex pain conditions
- Cancer recovery and exercise therapy
Occupational health and ergonomic advice
Marianna has also completed extensive postgraduate training in manual therapy, Clinical Pilates, pain science, and occupational health, ensuring her treatment style is both evidence-based and highly individualised.
She’s a big believer in preventative care, but she’s equally dedicated to helping those managing long-term or chronic conditions. Her sessions often include education and movement retraining, empowering each client with the tools they need for lasting results.
What You Can Expect at PrimeBody
From your very first visit, you’ll feel the difference. PrimeBody Physiotherapy isn’t a rushed or clinical-feeling practice — it’s calm, friendly, and focused on you.
Your initial appointment starts with a detailed chat about your symptoms and lifestyle, followed by a physical assessment to find the true cause of your discomfort. Marianna then develops a personalised, hands-on treatment plan — which may include mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, or Clinical Pilates-style exercises — and a simple home program to keep you progressing between visits.
No referral is needed for private sessions, and claims can be processed on the spot via HICAPS. PrimeBody also accepts Medicare, DVA and WorkCover referrals.
Meet Katharine – The Friendly Face of PrimeBody
When you walk through the doors at PrimeBody, you’ll likely be greeted by Katharine Duggan, the clinic’s welcoming Allied Health Administration Officer. A lifelong Brighton local, Katharine is known for her warm smile and helpful nature — ensuring every visit runs smoothly from start to finish.
Whether she’s helping with bookings, answering questions, or simply offering a kind word, Katharine is all about making sure clients feel comfortable and cared for.
