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.

Strong, slow, and controlled. Pilates offers small moves with a big impact! 💪🏼
Love is the spine of life ❤️
Grip strength: it’s not just about winning bragging rights in the clinic (although, that’s definitely a bonus!) 💪
One week after opening the doors of our brand new Beenleigh clinic, we’re loving welcoming patients into our new space!
Meet Danielle 👋
Ever thought about seeing a Women’s Health Physiotherapist?
We’re excited to share that the newly upgraded Sports & Spinal Beenleigh is now open! 🎉
A purposefully designed four-day retreat on the Sunshine Coast (yes, accommodation provided!), packed with hands-on education, expert speakers, and real clinical experience across Sports & Spinal, Team Rehab Solutions and Podiatry.
From neuro and pain management to gym-based practical sessions, shadowing opportunities, and biomechanical assessments at our new Maroochydore clinic, our grads got a truly immersive experience. A highlight? A masterclass with leading hip expert Dr Alison Grimaldi, giving our team clinical depth rarely accessible so early in a career.
Real learning, real mentorship, real connections… and a team that genuinely cheers you on. 💙

Strong grip strength is also a key indicator of overall health. Research shows people with stronger grips often experience better health outcomes, faster rehab, and even improved cognitive function as they age. It’s a simple way to track progress, guide strength training, and monitor rehabilitation.
Big thanks to the legends at @coolum_sportsandspinal for this clip, the team has some serious grip strength!
