HOW CAN WE HELP
Introduction & Goal Setting
The first session is designed to learn more about you, your lifestyle, and what you want to achieve. Our dietitians will work with you to set clear, measurable goals to help determine the best possible treatment plan to get results.
Education
Our dietitians will give you the knowledge and understanding to take charge of your health. They can explain the link between dietary patterns and health outcomes and allow you the confidence to make changes now and in the future.
Plan
At the end of the consult, you will receive specific dietary strategies to help get you started toward your goal. Recommended time frames for reviews vary between fortnightly and monthly consults. A minimum of 2-3 review consults are often required to ensure you receive the opportunity to explore any challenges and adjust the plan as needed. Our dietitians strive to ensure you feel supported and confident throughout your journey.
Are you stuck in the ‘dieting cycle’? Are you constantly switching between phases of weight gain, weight loss, and simply getting nowhere?
Our dietitians take the time to understand your situation – your goals, lifestyle, social and medical history to tailor advice to suit you. Our dietitians can help you to develop the knowledge and skills to improve your relationship with food, achieve a balanced lifestyle and empower you with the confidence to be your best, healthiest self.
Dietitians can provide education on the role of nutrition in managing diabetes and blood glucose levels. We take a holistic approach, taking into consideration different medications, physical activity, and lifestyle choices to provide you with the best treatment plan for your situation.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) refers to a collection of symptoms including diarrhoea and/or constipation as well as accompanying symptoms such as bloating and abdominal pain. The cause of IBS is not really known, but a number of factors appear to worsen symptoms. These can include some of the foods we eat, stress or an infection.
Whether you have a diagnosed food allergy or suspected food intolerance such as IBS, you may need to reduce or eliminate certain foods from your diet. Food intolerances can be particularly debilitating as the exact cause is often unclear and can often lead to overly restricted diets in fear of experiencing a flare-up. If you suspect you may have a food intolerance, a dietitian will conduct a detailed assessment of your medical history, diet and lifestyle to determine the likely cause of your symptoms. You will then be provided with the knowledge and personalised resources to confidently manage your health independently.
Diet plays a big role in managing IBS as we can modify the diet to identify any “trigger” foods that may make IBS symptoms worse. This process is called the FODMAP diet. Our dietitians have a particular interest in the FODMAP diet and would love to help you to minimise your IBS symptoms to limit the impact they are having on your life! We also ensure that you are eating a healthy variety of foods and not missing out on any important nutrients.
The presence of 3 or more metabolic risk factors increases your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Risk factors include high cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood glucose and high blood pressure. While certain conditions are inherited, diet and lifestyle plays are major role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, Diverticulitis are characterised by intermittent flare-ups of abdominal pain, bloating, gas and diarrhoea. Over time, this can result in nutrient deficiencies as inflammation can block the absorption of essential nutrients in the intestine. While the cause of these conditions is still not well understood, dietitians can provide the latest evidence-based strategies to manage your flare-ups and support you in maintaining a healthy balanced diet.
Whether you’re looking to reduce your meat intake or go completely vegan, dietitians can help you navigate the expanding world of meat and dairy alternatives to ensure you are receiving the necessary nutrients on a plant-based diet.
If you or someone you love is experiencing an eating disorder, you can understand just how isolating and overwhelming it can be to live with this condition as it impacts many areas of a person’s life. Eating disorders are a complex mental illness but with the right treatment and support, full recovery is possible. Our dietitians can support you no matter what stage you are on your journey, whether you’re looking to learn more about your condition, explore your food fears and anxieties or are ready to set actionable goals toward regular eating.
Disordered eating on any level can often go unnoticed and be accepted as a normal part of today’s ‘diet culture’. There’s a common misconception that to have an eating disorder, you have to be extremely underweight, which is absolutely not true. Disordered eating can be present regardless of body shape, size, age or gender. If you ever experience a loss of control around food, engage in secretive or binge eating or struggle with poor body image, a dietitian can help you understand how these behaviours develop and work with you to build your confidence and improve your relationship with food.
Bariatric surgery is an effective tool to promote weight loss by reducing the size of your stomach capacity. It is essential that you receive the support of an experienced bariatric dietitian during your pre and post-surgery journey to ensure you are able to meet nutrient requirements. Our dietitians understand the different challenges you may face along the way and can help you to develop sustainable healthy eating habits long term.
Sports Dietitians provide individualised advice for athletes with various training intensities. Whether you’re looking to change body composition, run your first 10km or compete at a high-level sport, proper nutrition is an essential part of optimal performance. Sports Dietitians can provide advice on pre and post comp nutrition and recovery, hydration, supplementation and develop personalised meal plans.

What Mt Gravatt Patients Say
These guys are the best in the business. Always professional, thoughtful and work with you to find solutions. I’ve always been impressed by my recovery, improvements and results. I’d highly recommend Alex in particular, he takes time to understand all aspects of your situation and has never let me down. Easy to access venue inside the Nissan Centre as well!
I can highly recommend Alex and the team at Sports & Spinal. Alex’s care for my son was next level. He listened to our concerns and would always explain how and why to ensure that my son returned to Sport as soon as possible. His treatment plan was easy to follow and was achievable to a teenager. I will always come back to Alex and Sports & Spinal whenever we need a Physiotherapy!
Alex Physio and Andrew EP have worked solidly with my complex conditions and rehab after a MVA. They are reflective of my needs and unique personality. Thanks S&S.🤩
Great Clinic, and friendly staff.
Alex is a refreshing, attentive, and knowledgeable Physiotherapist. And with his wisdom and guided rehabilitation programming I’ve been given a new hope for a return to pain-free quality living, after attempting countless other clinics.
In time I believe he can heal my spine, and give me the strength to resume my life of competitive sports.
I have been a client of physio alex over many years and cannot recommend him highly enough. On top of being incredibly knowledgeable about anatomy and rehabilitation is personable very flexible and adaptable. When I experience various injuries and health challenges throughout. This time is adjusted and adopted the treatment to suit my situation on the day not sticking to a rigid plan. Always smiling and upbeat with a positive attitude and it compete belief in finding a way to make something work with my Disability so that I can continue with rehabilitation exercises as well as providing hands-on treatment. Without alex I would be bedridden unable to use my arms in addition to my paralysed legs and to an unbearable pain his treatments gave me my life back which intern enables me to do so much volunteer work in the disability community in addition to paid work. Alrx takes a big picture of you of treatment not just a body part but what I’m trying to achieve in my life and what physically is needed to make that happen so that we can either give my body treatment and recovery or exercise to prepare . I highly recommend him. After three decades as an elite athlete I’ve met many physiotherapist all over the world and very few care so much about the individual patient go above and beyond to make each treatment very beneficial and are as knowledgeable and hands-on active from the very first treatment which in my experience lots of other physios used to fill out forms on the computer it already tangled my neck which couldn’t move as well as doing an intake assessment . He’s never been able to get rid of me since that day and I hope to continue working with him for many years to come!!! I wish I could give more than five stars and highly recommend him
The results from working with Alex have been beyond impressive. I’d had back pain for over two years, and after just three weeks of following the program Alex created, the pain is now significantly better. I couldn’t recommend or appreciate Alex more.
I highly recommend RHP and Sam Donaldson. I’ve started seeing Sam for a couple of reasons – Prehab for a second knee procedure and a nerve related issue. Sam is amazing – very professional, polite and thorough with his assessments and treatments, very friendly and contactable. Most importantly I’m seeing good improvements. It was also a pleasant surprise to receive a call from a physio after my first visit to see how I was going.
I’ve seen multiple physios over the last 18 months due to different reasons and im very happy with with Sam sofar and looking to stay with RHP post op.
Their fees are rather on the higher side, if that’s a consideration for you. But you’ll be well looked after. Without generalising, I’ve seen other Physios elsewhere who charged lesser but hadn’t gone far with the Rehab.
Parking: RHP at the Nissan arena have reserved parking (near the Loading dock).
Incredibly happy with the service from Sports & spinal Mt Gravatt. Alex is helping me through 2 completely torn ligaments in my ankle. Great progress between sessions. Direct guidance specific to my circumstances, workplace and lifestyle.
Sam Donaldson took the time to thoroughly assess my son’s injury and developed a personalized treatment plan, He used a combination of hands-on therapy and tailored exercises. Over the course of just a few weeks, we saw significant improvement in my son’s mobility and strength.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and professional physiotherapist, I highly recommend Sam Donaldson.
