Sports & Spinal Coolum is located on the beautiful Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast, conveniently located near Peregian Beach, Yandina, and Mudjimba.
Accredited Exercise Physiologists are allied health professionals providing exercise and lifestyle therapies to prevent and manage chronic disease, injury, and disability.
An Exercise Physiologist (EP) is a 4 year, University-trained Allied Health professional who is an exercise prescription expert. They will work with you to design a specific exercise program tailored to your injuries, health status and goals.
Our Exercise Physiologists at Sports & Spinal can help your condition by working with you to formulate an appropriate treatment plan to assist in reaching your specific goals. Exercise Physiologists use movement and exercise in conjunction with specific education and motivational guidance to treat and manage your conditions.
Sports & Spinal’s accredited Exercise Physiologist can assist with Diabetes & Obesity, General Health & Wellbeing, Mental Health Issues, Musculoskeletal Injuries, Neurological Conditions, Strength & Conditioning, Women’s Health, Aging, Chronic Pain, Fatigue, Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, Paediatrics and Cancer.
Exercise facilitates changes within the body that increases its efficiency. This allows us to be able to manage conditions or diseases, that can cause our bodies to not function to the best ability.
You can expect our Exercise Physiologist to listen to your personal story and ask questions, so they can work with you to guide an appropriate treatment plan. Our Exercise Physiologist will complete a detailed, goal-focused, clinical, and functional assessment.
Treatment will vary and be specific to you but will likely involve modified movement and exercises to build your capacity and function through strength, fitness, balance, and more. Treatment will change and progress while working alongside your Exercise Physiologist. Our Exercise physiologists will provide education on health, conditions, injuries and what to do and what not to do may take place in different environments, including our onsite gym, your regular gym and pools, depending on your interests and goals. Our Exercise Physiologist believes in a multi-disciplinary approach and will work with other health professionals to help manage your condition.

Will Christie
Exercise Physiologist: Special Interest Occupational & Sports Rehabilitation
Will’s passion for exercise physiology was ignited during his time training and playing at the elite level in Rugby Union, particularly through his experiences recovering from multiple injuries to maintain peak performance. After two seasons in the UK, where he played national rugby league and worked as an exercise physiologist, William returned to his hometown of Coolum with a commitment to giving back to his community.
He has built a solid foundation in working with a diverse clientele, including individuals covered by DVA, Medicare, WorkCover, and NDIS. His dedication to helping clients regain normalcy and functionality has resulted in meaningful and impactful outcomes.
During his time in the UK, William played a significant role in the NHS National Diabetes Prevention Program, where he gained invaluable experience in delivering exercise interventions and supporting individuals at risk of Type 2 diabetes through dietary and lifestyle modifications. Since returning to Coolum, he has collaborated closely with a multidisciplinary team, focusing on musculoskeletal rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation, and work-related injuries. His efforts have helped numerous individuals achieve their pre-injury status and successfully transition back to full-time employment and sport.
Will is available for exercise physiology consults at Sports & Spinal Coolum.
