Bayside Physiotherapy team have joined the Sports & Spinal family to continue to provide the Highest Quality Patient Care. We are located on the beautiful Fraser Coast in Urraween, conveniently located near Kawungan, Scarness, Pialba, Dundowran, Torquay, Urangan, Eli Waters, Point Vernon, Wondunna and Nikenbah.
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. Exercise prescription is progressed systematically and aligned with broader allied health care, ensuring programs remain safe, measurable and adaptable as physical capacity improves.
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.
This service is particularly valuable for patients requiring medically supervised exercise or longer-term rehabilitation support within the Hervey Bay region.

What Hervey Bay Patients Say
Thanks for your kindness!
I have been getting treatment at this centre by Mia. The pain I have suffered for several weeks has gone from a 9 to a 3. I am very happy to recommend Bayside Physiotherapy to anyone needing help.
Highly recommend Videl he is an asset to your business very professional and knowledgeable Vidal’s easy to understand recommendations for my rehabilitation made it easy to follow instructions to ensure a speedy recovery. Much appreciated many thanks Vidal.
Booked an appointment and saw the physiotherapist Jacob Walmsley.
Receptionist was lovely and warm, greeting you with a smile.
Jacob was very thorough with his initial consultation and did multiple tests to ascertain where the issue was arising from, keeping me informed every step of the way. He was professional and knowledgeable, would recommend anyone looking for a physio to see Jacob!
From booking, reception to physio everyone was friendly and professional
I’m currently seeing a lady here & she has been phenomenal and very knowledgeable of my injury. She shows compassion and empathy but also very honest. The reception staff are lovely and easy to deal with.
Great staff and the physiotherapist are so talented and know their trade.
The staff here are amazing.
Their knowledge is top notch and their commitment to rehab and getting the most out of minimising your recovery time is great.
They do hands on therapy, exercise programs, Pilates reformer, weights and more.
If you injure yourself and need some rehab, give them a look.
I have very complex physical medical conditions and saw Alanah today. She was positive, supportive, listened extremely well and responded perfectly to the severe pain I was in. Her massage skills and interest in what worked best for me were second to none. Well worth the time and money and I can’t wait to work with her again. Thank you Alanah….I haven’t needed to take the strong pain relief this evening I have had to take usually 🙂

Exercise physiology is a recognised and essential part of Australia’s health system, supported through Medicare, DVA, the NDIS and private health funds. Yet it is still subject to GST. This means people managing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, obesity and mental health challenges are paying extra for care that helps them live better, healthier lives.
We don’t think that’s right, which is why we’re supporting Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) in their campaign to remove GST from exercise physiology services.
Our team are calling on our community to support @essa_au`s petition to reach 50,000 signatures.
