What Redcliffe Patients Say
Tim was amazing, so glad I could get in with him on short notice – especially being a new patient just here travelling. Now I can enjoy my holiday thanks to him. Receptionists were lovely too. Thanks guys!!
I’ve been fortunate to find such a fantastic health team, here at Sports and Spinal, Clontarf, on the beautiful Redcliffe Peninsula. They are so passionate and enthusiastic about their roles, and the receptionist is the most bubbliest person I’ve met. She makes me happy just entering the clinic. Can’t thank the team I’ve dealt with enough (Dietician, Exercise Physiology and Reception). Happy to reccomended.
I can’t recommend this practice more highly! They are exceptional in every way. From the moment my mother and I walked in, for her first physio session, we were both made to feel incredibly welcome and special, and that continues with every visit. Mum is having great results and her physiotherapist, Dziila, has a very caring and beautiful way with my elderly mother. It’s very touching and is a comfortable space for mum to voice any problems and be heard. Thank you Sports and Spinal, Redcliffe! You guys ROCK! We love you and sure will continue to visit!
Totally recommend Sports and Spinal.
Great experience Great staff
Daniel is excellent as an Exercise Physiologist very good with us elderly showed total respect and maturity above his years. Very Happy
Wonderful staff, Physiotherapy, Excercise therapists & clinical pilates
Reception friendly & well organised, consultation was professional & treatment plan & options were thoroughly explained. The exercise program was ready to go & delivered electronically before I arrived home. Exercise app is easy to use, has both written & video instructions plus it tracks progress. Overall, I’m very happy with the service delivered.
Tim was amazing, so glad I could get in with him on short notice – especially being a new patient just here travelling. Now I can enjoy my holiday thanks to him. Receptionists were lovely too. Thanks guys!!
Friendly and smiling staff on arrival. Tom was on time with the appointment and took the time to assess my situation with patience and understanding. Completed an array of exercises to establish level of pain and complexity. Feet taped as an initial treatment which helped with the discomfort. A written report was provided with details of my diagnosis and included a treatment plan going forward so I knew what to expect. Michelle was very helpful with booking future appointments so I could keep a regular schedule for treatment. Fantastic first visit. Highly recommend.
I’ve been going to S&S for 3 years now and everyone from Michelle at the front desk to the whole team Cara, Dan, Tim, Montana and Julia have been incredible. You’re always welcomed with a beautiful smile that makes you feel very much at home. They are all very down to earth people who are amazing at what they do and will have a great chat with you also.
Every time you’re appointment finishes you can’t wait for your next one!

Tim is really amazing.
Soo in depth.
Very rewarding
It`s Tradies National Health Month, an initiative by @physioaustralia (APA) highlighting the physical and mental demands faced by Australia`s tradies.
One week to go! 🎉
We couldn`t have said it better than @sportsandspinalstrathpine 😂
It takes an incredible team to bring Better Outcomes Conference to life, and we couldn`t do it without our amazing sponsors!
It’s hard to believe we’re almost eight months into the year!
Just two weeks to go!
Australia is facing a chronic shortage of healthcare professionals, and we urgently need more graduates entering the allied health workforce.
One conference. More than 20 disciplines. Endless opportunities to learn.
The latest APA survey paints a concerning picture:
🔨 90% of tradies experienced work-related injuries or pain in the past year
🔨 76% said pain significantly impacts their quality of life
🔨 42% described their pain as severe
🔨 24% worry they`ll need to retire early because of the toll their work takes on their bodies
Whether you`re on the tools every day or managing the demands of a physically demanding job, looking after your body matters.
Our multidisciplinary team, including physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, podiatrists, occupational therapists, psychologists, dietitians, massage therapists and more, can work with you to assess injuries, manage pain, support recovery and help you stay healthy for the long haul.
A big thank you to the Australian Physiotherapy Association for continuing to shine a light on the health and wellbeing of Australia`s tradies through Tradies National Health Month.

To our 2026 New Grad cohort, we couldn’t be prouder of everything you’ve achieved.
Over the past few months, we’ve watched you grow in confidence, embrace every learning opportunity and build meaningful relationships with your patients. Seeing your appointment books fill, hearing the positive feedback from patients and colleagues, and watching you settle into your teams has been incredibly rewarding.
Recently, we also came together for our Mid-Year Refresher Training, taking time to reflect, reconnect and continue building on everything you`ve learned so far. Supporting our New Grads doesn`t stop after orientation, it`s something we`re committed to throughout the year and beyond.
You`re doing an incredible job, and we can`t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store.
#SportsandSpinal #NewGradLife #AlliedHealthCareers
The countdown is on for the #BetterOutcomesConference2026 🙌
In just 14 days, clinicians, legal professionals and industry leaders from more than 20 disciplines will come together in Brisbane to learn from one another, share ideas and strengthen the way we work together.
Why? Because when professionals collaborate, the people we care for benefit.
Proudly hosted by Sports & Spinal Group @travis_schultz_partners, the Better Outcomes Conference is all about building stronger connections, sharing knowledge and finding new ways to deliver even better care and support for our patients and communities.
We can`t wait to welcome our colleagues and partners for another inspiring day of learning, collaboration and connection.

To qualify, students across occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychology and other allied health professions are required to complete hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of hours of mandatory unpaid clinical placement.
Many experience significant financial hardship during this time, often referred to as `placement poverty`, due to lost income and the added costs of travel, accommodation, food and other living expenses.
To help address this issue, Allied Health Professions Australia (AHPA) has launched a national petition calling for the Commonwealth Prac Payment to be expanded to all allied health students.
We encourage you to support the next generation of allied health professionals by signing the petition and helping end placement poverty.
