Today is World Cerebral Palsy Day 💚
Movement is a lifelong investment. 💚
Better care starts with understanding your body.
We love to hear from you!
Today is R U OK? Day 💛
Today we celebrate World Physiotherapy Day! 🥳
That`s a wrap on another successful Better Outcomes Conference, proudly hosted in collaboration with @travis_schultz_partners!
Welcome in. 💚
Cerebral palsy can have a lifelong impact, which is why early detection and access to therapy can make an important difference for babies and their families.
Just six days ago, we wrapped up Steptember, with our Sports & Spinal team getting moving throughout September to raise funds for early detection and therapy for babies with cerebral palsy.
Together, we walked 35,661,443 steps (that’s the equivalent of two laps of Australia!) and raised $16,068 for the cause.
Cerebral palsy is also a particularly special cause for our Managing Director, Sean Campbell, who is passionate about Sports & Spinal continuing to get behind @steptemberau and supporting the work it does each year.
A huge thank you to everyone who stepped, donated, encouraged and got involved throughout September. We’re so proud of what our team achieved together and the difference those steps will make for babies and families affected by cerebral palsy.
#WorldCerebralPalsyDay #Steptember #SportsAndSpinal
Looking after your body isn’t just about where you are today; it’s about supporting the way you want to move, feel and live in the years ahead.
Whether it’s building strength, improving mobility, staying active, or simply making time to move more, every little bit counts.
Your body carries you through every stage of life. Investing in it is always worthwhile.
#SportsandSpinal #MovementMatters #MoveBetter
At Sports & Spinal, we use innovative technology like VALD ForceDecks alongside our clinicians` expertise to gain deeper insights into movement, strength, power and performance.

Sometimes, the simplest message can mean the most.
If someone comes to mind, send them this. Check in. Ask how they`re really going, and be ready to listen.
You don`t need to have all the answers. Knowing someone cares can make a real difference.
If you`re doing it tough, remember that you don`t have to face it alone. Reaching out is a sign of strength, and support is available.
#RUOKDay #RUOK #SportsandSpinal
Back in 1992, we began as a dedicated physiotherapy practice. While we have since grown into a vibrant multidisciplinary family across 26 clinics, with the addition of our community team at TRS, our foundational roots still run deep, and we remain proudly led and run by a team of incredible physiotherapists.
A heartfelt thank you to all the incredible physiotherapists across the whole group. Your unwavering dedication to clinical excellence, patient care, and helping our communities move and feel better is truly inspiring.
Thank you for everything you do!
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.
