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.

What Baringa Patients Say

PATRICK LITTLE
★★★★★

I came to Sports & Spinal Baringa after a back injury at work, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. Everyone was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Jess and Georgia, the physiotherapists, were fantastic — really supportive and knowledgeable. Paul, the Exercise Physiologist, made the next stage of my recovery professional, informative, and genuinely empowering.
I’ve finished my program feeling stronger, more confident, and ready to keep progressing. Huge thanks to the whole team! Patrick

Great clinic, Been receiving treatment from Paul & Jess here for the past year for a complex condition about 6 other clinics over the years couldn’t figure out, lovely service 😁

Ella Whately
★★★★★

Tim is an excellent physio. I have made great progress since I started seeing him.

Grant Hodson
★★★★★

I have been fortunate to have had the support and guidance from Tim Lynch when and if required, for my battle torn body over a number of years now, and more recently for a quite complex knee injury. Combined with Paul Scalise (Exercise Physiologist)/ coach these two have taken me from barely able to walk to being active and athletic again for which I am most great full. I am in my mid 60’s, was previously a professional athlete, achieving Club, State, National and World titles in my sport.
During this time I had the opportunity to work with many top level practitioners of Sportsmed/rehab around the Globe and have a pretty good knowledge of quality care.
There areI over ten physio clinics within 10 minutes travel of my home and work, (and no offence to them) I choose to travel a 2 hour round trip to see Tim and Paul.
Angie and Louise at reception/ practice management are always welcoming, helping all to run like clockwork. With a personalised approach the team have me moving well again.
Sincere thanks to all!
Grant Hodson.

I was so happy with the service I received at Baringa Sports and Spinal. I was able to get in for an appointment quickly with Simon, the service is friendly and professional and my pain was quickly diagnosed and treated. Feeling so much better! Should have taken the time to get there sooner! 🙂

I have found Simon to be very professional. He is very good at what he does and he explains why he is doing certain exercises. He has been treating me for MS and I have noticed alot of improvements in my mobility

Grip strength: it’s not just about winning bragging rights in the clinic (although, that’s definitely a bonus!) 💪

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!
