Sports & Spinal Chermside is located opposite the Westfield Shopping Centre. Just a short drive north of Brisbane’s central business district, conveniently located near Aspley, Carseldine, Everton Park, Mitchelton, Nundah, Stafford, Boondall, Banyo, Taigum, and Wavell Heights.
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.

Dana Harper
Exercise Physiologist
As an Exercise Physiologist with a personal history of sporting injuries and running setbacks, Dana understands first-hand the challenges of staying active through pain. These experiences have fuelled her passion for helping others move with confidence, especially those managing chronic pain, mental health challenges, and women’s health conditions.
Dana brings experience from both private practice and public settings, and is passionate about working within multidisciplinary teams to achieve the best outcomes for her clients.
Dana believes in the power of exercise as a form of medicine and is a dedicated advocate for using movement to support long-term health and wellbeing. She enjoys using a combination of Pilates, progressive resistance, cardiovascular and mobility exercises to help her clients achieve their goals in a way that is effective, sustainable, and tailored to their needs. Dana brings a compassionate, evidence-based approach to every session to ensure her clients feel comfortable and receive the highest quality of care.
Outside the clinic, Dana enjoys staying active and moving her body in a variety of ways—whether it’s attending group fitness classes, practicing Pilates or yoga, going for a run, or exploring a hiking trail. In her downtime, she loves cooking delicious meals for family and friends or unwinding with a good book.
Dana is available for exercise physiology consults at Sports & Spinal Chermside.
