What Burleigh Patients Say
From the moment you walk in you feel comfortable being here. I have been to a few physios around the coast but Sports and Spinal Burleigh exceeded my expectations. I have been seen for headaches, back pain and most recently a nasty shoulder injury and they have been amazing. Saw Aaliyah yesterday and my pain has almost gone. Highly recommended
I am back to walking the golf course, thanks to Alex’s expertise and care. Instead of rushing into surgery, Alex suggested an alternative that has worked well for me. While a knee replacement may be in my future, it is fortunately not imminent. Alex’s expert knowledge of a golfer’s body mechanics comes from being a single-figure handicap golfer himself. Combined with his golf-specific physiotherapy training, he is well-equipped to help any golfer maximize their potential through targeted care and exercises. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alex and the great team at Burleigh Sports & Spinal.
As far as I’m concerned Alex is an absolute genius, and such a caring and thoughtful professional. He fixed my plantar fasciitis last year when I thought it was hopeless. He’s worked with my husband and managed to diagnose something super random with his hamstring. He’s now working his magic on my knee. I’ve really appreciated the way he stays up to date on the latest research and really listens to what’s going on.
The new premises at Burleigh are just lovely and the whole team are so friendly. I’m forever recommending Alex to people (even if they aren’t injured!).
After a good 6 months of pain every time I exercised weight training I decided to book in here to be assessed.
From the get go Brad had so much knowledge and he instantly knew how to treat my back and shoulder pain. After implementing his training program and certain exercises, I noticed a HUGE improvement in just one week.
I honestly can’t recommend his services any higher (and the whole team). Thanks to Brad I am back training in the gym pain free and will continue making his program a permanent part of my training routine.
Wow, what a great team at Burleigh Sports and Spinal.
Alex the physiotherapist and Mahalia the exercise physiologist know their stuff and worked together to develop my personal exercise program to help me regain my strength and balance. The group pilaties classes are a great place for me to implement my prescribed exercises under their supervision.
Great work and a massive thank you cheers Pip
Hi, Mahalia at Burleigh many many thanks for your devotion to your job and clients.
Because of Mahalia’s exceptional understanding of how our muscles all work together and how to apply her extensive knowledge of how to safely and progressively extend my range of movement and strength my stability on my feet has greatly improved.
I do a combination of Pilates, weights and balance exercises specifically targeted to meet my needs.
How do we know? Because after 12 weeks we have just repeated my assessment tests to log my actual progress and wow I’ve really improved my balance and strength I’m thrilled and so very thankful that I’m no longer a high risk candidate for a fall.
Three cheers for Mahalia you are 💯🎉🤩
Alex Dopper is an exceptionally gifted and experienced physiotherapist. I had a 50 year old injury I had given up on but aster his treatment I now have 100% movement. I can’t recommend this clinic highly enough.
Highly recommend Alex,having a old injury for over 10 years,Alex’s knowledge and experience is 100%,after 3 visits my injury I cannot believe the difference how far it has improved,would only attended this practice,so comfortable and relaxed environment.Alex your professional and a beautiful soul,thank you.
Landon is a great Physio and spends the right amount of time talking and demonstrating physiotherapy.
Booked an appointment with Brad as I was having knee pain and he was so thorough and clear. Such a lovely environment and made me feel really at ease. Got to the bottom of the issue and already seeing improvements. Highly recommend!!
Today is R U OK? Day 💛
Today we celebrate World Physiotherapy Day! 🥳
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 😂
Sometimes, the simplest message can mean the most.
If someone comes to mind, send them this. Check in. Ask how they`re really going, and be ready to listen.
You don`t need to have all the answers. Knowing someone cares can make a real difference.
If you`re doing it tough, remember that you don`t have to face it alone. Reaching out is a sign of strength, and support is available.
#RUOKDay #RUOK #SportsandSpinal
Back in 1992, we began as a dedicated physiotherapy practice. While we have since grown into a vibrant multidisciplinary family across 26 clinics, with the addition of our community team at TRS, our foundational roots still run deep, and we remain proudly led and run by a team of incredible physiotherapists.
A heartfelt thank you to all the incredible physiotherapists across the whole group. Your unwavering dedication to clinical excellence, patient care, and helping our communities move and feel better is truly inspiring.
Thank you for everything you do!
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.
