What North Lakes Patients Say
I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Sports and Spinal Northlakes. After my shoulder surgery, I was at a point where I was not progressing with the physio I was seeing, and I had started to lose hope that I would ever feel like myself again. I found Sports and Spinal and from the moment I changed over and began treatment, that changed.
I see Kelly Grant and Ryan Moore, and they are genuinely second to none. Their knowledge, professionalism and care are outstanding, but what really stands out is how much they actually listen. They take the time to understand not just my injury, but how it is affecting my confidence and day-to-day life.
They have got me moving again when I honestly thought I was stuck. Each session feels purposeful, encouraging and tailored exactly to where I am at. They collaborate to make sure I get the best outcome!
I always joke that I’ll have to leave a bad review because they’re too good at what they do and can be hard to get into at my preferred time, but that just says everything about how in demand they are. If you book with them, you’re in the best possible hands.
If you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with pain, or just need clinicians who truly care about your recovery, I cannot recommend Sports and Spinal Northlakes (particularly Kelly and Ryan) highly enough. They are giving me my movement back, and I’ll be forever grateful.
Great place to go to when looking for a professional physiotherapist. Had a good experience and everyone working there was extremely nice and took their time to understand what the issue was.
Very pleased with all the staff, Cat has helped me through my knee recovery over the past 9 months and has worked at a speed that was comfortable with my progression. Giving me relevant exercises, with thorough instructions and options when setbacks were had. Would come back anytime in the future if another injury arises. (Hopefully no other injuries 😂)
can’t recommend this physio highly enough. I went in with super tight pelvic muscles that were causing ongoing pain, and within just 5 visits my pelvis is now functioning completely healthy and normal. Montana was incredible — knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. She made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. I’m so grateful for the results and the support I received.
Sports and spinal clinic was recommended to me by my gym coach after a sprained ankle netball injury. I had both Brandon and Lachlan work on me for a month, once a week, and the strength in my ankle has come good. They mixed manual manipulation of the muscles with physical movement and exercises that have meant I could return to the gym! I’m now strong enough to move laterally, hop and balance on that leg and am slowly returning to a full netball game. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Everyone on staff is friendly and chatty and make feel relaxed and valued.
Just finished up in North Lakes with Lana, I couldn’t praise her more on the session. Fantastic working and communication skills with my Down syndrome client, I could see he warmed up and felt comfortable almost immediately. Don’t hesitate to book this lovely young lady!
Jeremy was very professional and really had a comprehensive and understanding approach to my neck problems.
Finally found a decent physiotherapy place after a long search.
Until I had seen Tom and Brendan at Sports and Spinal North Lakes I had little relief from pain to feet and hips/back. Highest recommendations for their professionalism, skills, friendliness and courteous attitudes and the ability to resolve my issues. The new site is amazing, offering modern up-to-date equipment and a wide range of treatments/rehab. Add outstanding value for money, lots of parking, fantastic Receptionist and other ancillary staff.
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 😂
It takes an incredible team to bring Better Outcomes Conference to life, and we couldn`t do it without our amazing sponsors!
It’s hard to believe we’re almost eight months into the year!
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.

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.
