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.
At Beenleigh, many clients come to Exercise Physiology after physiotherapy to keep progressing – especially after workplace injuries, combat sports and long-standing pain. Feedback often mentions how programs are realistic, supportive and designed around real-life work and training demands.
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.
Patients describe sessions as professional and structured, but also supportive – they feel heard, guided and encouraged as their strength, confidence and function improve.
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.
In Beenleigh, this often means collaborating with physiotherapists to bridge the gap between hands-on treatment and long-term strength, so you don’t lose progress once pain starts to settle.

What Beenleigh Patients Say
Recently completed a round of treatment with John for nerve pain in my shoulder that I’ve struggled with for years. After visiting various doctors who hadn’t offered any real solutions, John was able to isolate and explain the cause of the problem within minutes. In only a handful of visits, I’ve seen real improvement with my pain and have learned techniques to help me moving forward. John put me at ease through the whole process and was great to work with. Highly recommend!
Professional and kind staff. They treat you as human which definitely helps with the recovery process. I also train and they cater the therapy to work with the training to get you back into it in the fastest yet safest way. Highly recommended
