Sports & Spinal Broadbeach is located in the heart of the Gold Coast, in the Oasis Shopping Center next to F45.
Conveniently located near Surfers Paradise, Bundall, Broadbeach Waters, Mermaid Beach, Mermaid Waters and Miami.
With an emphasis on core conditioning, breathing and body awareness, our Core, Strength & Mobility classes are a safe and highly effective way to stretch, strengthen and streamline your body without building bulk or stressing your joints.
Core, Strength & Mobility classes utilise various exercises that incorporate balance, power, strength and stability.
This can be done either using the Pilates equipment (reformer, trapeze table, exercise ball etc.) in a CSM Studio class or the form of a Mat Class, utilising bodyweight and minimal equipment. From here, we build and progress your program as appropriate with continued advice and education throughout, so you left feeling a better version of YOU.
Our Core, Strength & Mobility classes are a fitness regime for life, performed on a mat or with specialised equipment. The perfect complement to cardiovascular exercise, sport, rehab and life, these classes will leave you looking toned, feeling revitalised and moving with ease.
“Sessions focus on controlled movement patterns that improve mobility, balance and long-term functional strength. This makes it suitable for both rehabilitation and general conditioning.
Both Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists run our classes with Clinical Pilates Experience. Clinical Pilates refers to one-on-one Pilates that are often used for injury rehabilitation and used in conjunction with physiotherapy. Sports & Spinal offers both and can cater to your exact needs.
All patients are required to have an initial assessment with a Physiotherapist or Exercise Physiologist before beginning any of our classes. This is to familiarise patients with any equipment, positions, exercises and identify any injuries/restrictions that we may need to be aware of prior to a patient attending a class.
Sports & Spinal Broadbeach is NDIS registered and accepts Medicare rebates and HICAPS health fund claims. EFTPOS and credit card facilities are also available for payment. Parking is available onsite at the Oasis Shopping Center with 3 hours of free parking for our customers. Enter the car park from either Victoria Avenue or Charles Avenue.
Core, Strength & Mobility classes are perfect for toning and reshaping the body. It works on creating long, lean muscles, toning all of those hard to target areas such as the abdominals, inner thighs, buttocks, back of thighs, sides and backs of the arms. For toning, these classes are best performed 3 to 5 times a week through a combination of studio sessions, mat classes and home exercises.
Pilates exercises are performed through a wide range of movements and work on lengthening the muscles at the same time as strengthening them. To increase flexibility, stretching exercises need to be performed daily.
The Clinical Pilates exercises used in our Core, Strength & Mobility classes focus on strengthening the weakened postural muscles and stretching the tight muscles that pull the body into these poor postures. Studio sessions are the best way to improve posture as our physiotherapists can develop a program to target your specific postural problems. Pilates can also be used for back pain as it relaxes and strengthens the muscles, easing the discomfort.
Our Core, Strength & Mobility classes use Clinical Pilates techniques which are fantastic for injury rehabilitation and prevention as it works on core stability, posture, flexibility, and correcting muscle imbalances and weaknesses via specific strengthening. It can be used for arthritis, neck pain, back pain and various injuries.
Pilates is the secret tool that many high level and recreational athletes use to enhance their performance, decrease the risk of injuries and provide much-needed cross-training. Each sport has specific strength and flexibility requirements. When you book in for an assessment, your physiotherapist will look at the things you need to work on to improve your performance and then proceed to design a Pilates program for you.

What Broadbeach Patients Say
RI visited this clinic during my stay in Broadbeach, hoping to ease the pain from a severely strained back. The pain was sharp with even the smallest movements – getting out of bed, lying down, or sitting. So I was quite distressed.
Ellie treated me, and I was genuinely surprised and impressed by how much relief she provided. After the first session, I could move around without the sharp pain, and I felt about 70% better, leaving the rest to time and recovery. It felt like magic, especially as this happened on just the second day of my stay, when I was really upset about being in pain.
Ellie was very professional and caring, giving me advice on exercises I could do after treatment, and even following up with a message the next day to check on my progress.
I am so grateful for Ellie’s professionalism, kindness, and skill. She turned what could have been a ruined trip into a much more enjoyable one.
Saw Elli for an ankle fracture and she did such an amazing job! Recovered faster then expected and enjoyed every session.
Appreciate all the work and highly recommend ❤️
Marina is a life saver. I was struggle with my training last year as a prepared for the pro women’s hyrox due to a knee issue and after seeing Marina a few times I had no pain and since then have had no recurring soreness. In the past month I have started getting a sore back and have started seeing her again with yet again amazing results. I would highly recommend Marina she’s knowledgeable and amazing at what she does.
Great experience. Nicholas looked after my son, Patrick, really well today. Highly experienced and very knowledgeable and all the staff were friendly and I had confidence in the process. As a healthcare professional myself (at the other end of the body) it was great to experience such great cleanliness and expertise and I can highly recommend this practice. Thank you all 🙏🏻
All the team at sports and spinal Broadbeach are amazing. They dont treat you like another patient. They take thier time to get to know you and make you their priority. My recovery wouldnt have been half as awesome without them. If you need physio these are the guys to see, hands down best on the gc
I can’t thank my physio Ellie enough!
I walked in few weeks ago with a really bad lower back, and within just a few minutes, she’s worked her magic. After few visits she completely fixed it. I left feeling like a brand-new person!😃
Professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly effective.
I’m such a relieved patient and very grateful for the fast relief.
Highly, highly recommended to anyone in need of real results!👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve been seeing Elli for the last 5 months and she has been absolutely the best. I’ve suffered of chronic knots/shoulder pain for years and I’ve improved so much since I started coming to the clinic. She is not only professional but the sweetest person as well! Definitely recommend her and the clinic!!
Can’t thank Marina and the sports and spinal team enough for their help during my ankle rehabilitation process! The level of care they have provided has been second to none and has allowed me to run without pain for the first time in 3 years! Highly recommend their services.
