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 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
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 😁
Tim is an excellent physio. I have made great progress since I started seeing him.
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! 🙂
Tim was fantastic, explained everything really clearly, listened genuinely and provided great advice.
Awesome results! I am so grateful, I was referred to Simon Coughlin. Simon has nurtured me through a debilitating knee injury. He is the consumate professional, great knowledge, experience and communication. I have no hesitation in referring Simon to family and friends.
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
That`s a wrap on another successful Better Outcomes Conference, proudly hosted in collaboration with @travis_schultz_partners!
Welcome in. 💚
Our team had an wonderful time at the @physioaustralia Career Connect event on Saturday! 🥳
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!
This weekend, we brought together people from across healthcare, allied health and personal injury for a day of learning, connection and collaboration, all with one shared goal: better outcomes for the people we support.
We were especially proud to bring together Katie Lyndon, CEO of Exercise & Sports Science Australia, and Rob LoPresti, CEO of the Australian Physiotherapy Association, for the first time. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to connect with our physiotherapy and exercise physiology teams, as well as the wider Sports & Spinal Group, and share ideas about the future of our professions.
A huge thank you to our incredible experts, panellists and presenters for sharing their knowledge, and to our generous sponsors, VALD, ASICS, EMS DolorClast Oceania, Alpha Sport and Bared Footwear, for helping make the day such a success.
We’re already looking forward to Better Outcomes 2027. Until then, we can’t wait to see the ideas, connections and knowledge from this year continue to make a difference.
#BetterOutcomes2026 #MultidisciplinaryCare #AlliedHealth
From a first appointment to a familiar routine, we love being part of your health journey.
We had the opportunity to connect with the future generation of physiotherapists, discuss private practice and community (@team_rehab_solutions ) pathways, showcase some of our VALD equipment and book in multiple interviews!
If you’re interested in working with Sports & Spinal Group, our team are now accepting EOl’s for 2027 New Grad positions. Link in bio!
We can’t wait for next year’s event!
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.

See you in two weeks!
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.
