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 with specific education and motivational guidance to treat and manage your conditions.
Sports & Spinal accredited Exercise Physiologists can assist with Diabetes & Obesity, General Health & well-being, 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 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 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.

Noah Collins
Exercise Physiologist
Noah graduated with his Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology in 2023 whilst studying at the University of the Sunshine Coast. He is a born and bred Gympie local who isn’t too fond of the city life.
Noah enjoys seeing clients meet their goals and wants to help them improve their quality of life. He has a passion for sports and physical activity and wants to help his clients return to their sports, hobbies and workplaces.
Noah loves to play sport and do physical activity and can be seen playing at the hockey fields or riding his mountain bike at the Victory Trails. He also enjoys going for some runs and playing backyard cricket from time to time.
Noah is available for exercise physiology appointments at our Gympie clinic.
Benjamin Frank
Exercise Physiologist
Before becoming an exercise physiologist, Ben worked as a personal trainer for approximately 10 years, with a focus on weight loss, general fitness, muscle building and musculoskeletal rehabilitation alongside a physiotherapist.
Ben moved to Gympie at the end of 2023 from Melbourne where he completed two bachelor degrees in Science and Exercise and Sports Science followed by a Masters in Clinical Exercise Physiology at Deakin University.
During his university internships Ben was privileged to work with junior high-level athletes in strength and conditioning as well as in clinical and hospital settings working with orthopaedic, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular, neurological and mental health patients.
Ben has always had a passion for the gym environment and helping people through exercise, particularly in the midst of physical injuries and mental adversities.
In 2022, he nearly lost his arm in a bike accident, which required surgery. This alongside personal experiences with chronic back pain, sciatica and several lower limb injuries have not only improved his knowledge and application of rehabilitation on a personal level, but have also developed a passion for supporting others experiencing physical and mental challenges in their own healing and growth journeys.
He has a particular interest in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, mental health, metabolic health (diabetes, PCOS, cancer, eating disorders) and working with athletes and defence veterans.
Ben believes mindset is everything and has a strong focus on building relationships with clients to empower them to achieve sustainable, life-changing results, both physically and mentally.
Ben is available for exercise physiology consults at our Gympie clinic.

Our @sportsandspinalkawana physiotherapist Georgia and exercise physiologist Tenikka are demonstrating how we modify Pilates reformer exercises to suit different stages of back pain recovery.
From acute flare-ups to long-term rehab, we use progressions and regressions to safely load the spine, activate stabilising muscles, and rebuild functional movement patterns.
No two backs are the same — and your exercise program shouldn’t be either. Whether we’re focusing on core control, spinal mobility, or graded exposure to load, your plan is tailored to your individual presentation, goals, and pain response.
Because the best results come from individualised care — not cookie-cutter plans.
Your body, your pace, your plan ✅
