Sports & Spinal Maroochydore is situated at suite 6.08, level 6 in the new Maroochydore Private Hospital. The practice is conveniently located near Alexandra Headland, Mooloolaba and Cotton Tree.
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. Exercise physiology at Maroochydore often supports the transition from hands-on treatment into independent movement, particularly for those rebuilding capacity after injury, surgery or periods of reduced activity.
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.
Programs are progressed with real-world demands in mind, ensuring improvements translate into everyday movement and work capacity.
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 Maroochydore Patients Say
Ricki-Lee my Dietician. Carly a Physiotherapist helped get me stronger and swimming in a straight line : ) great that whilst I was seeing a physio of S&S for an injury I was able to do Pilates with a very knowledgeable physio or Exercise Physiologist who could report back to my Physio. Also very knowledgeable massage therapists

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation to Suhail, Physiotherapist, for the person centred and holistic care plan for return to work.
The care plan made a huge difference.

A huge thank you to these fantastic organisations for jumping on board and helping make the Better Outcomes Conference 2026 possible. We`re so excited to have you with us for a day of learning, collaboration and connection.
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.
#SportsandSpinal #NewGradLife #AlliedHealthCareers
The countdown is on for the #BetterOutcomesConference2026 🙌
In just 14 days, clinicians, legal professionals and industry leaders from more than 20 disciplines will come together in Brisbane to learn from one another, share ideas and strengthen the way we work together.
Why? Because when professionals collaborate, the people we care for benefit.
Proudly hosted by Sports & Spinal Group @travis_schultz_partners, the Better Outcomes Conference is all about building stronger connections, sharing knowledge and finding new ways to deliver even better care and support for our patients and communities.
We can`t wait to welcome our colleagues and partners for another inspiring day of learning, collaboration and connection.

To qualify, students across occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychology and other allied health professions are required to complete hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of hours of mandatory unpaid clinical placement.
Many experience significant financial hardship during this time, often referred to as `placement poverty`, due to lost income and the added costs of travel, accommodation, food and other living expenses.
To help address this issue, Allied Health Professions Australia (AHPA) has launched a national petition calling for the Commonwealth Prac Payment to be expanded to all allied health students.
We encourage you to support the next generation of allied health professionals by signing the petition and helping end placement poverty.
