What Redcliffe Patients Say
Tim was amazing, so glad I could get in with him on short notice – especially being a new patient just here travelling. Now I can enjoy my holiday thanks to him. Receptionists were lovely too. Thanks guys!!
I’ve been fortunate to find such a fantastic health team, here at Sports and Spinal, Clontarf, on the beautiful Redcliffe Peninsula. They are so passionate and enthusiastic about their roles, and the receptionist is the most bubbliest person I’ve met. She makes me happy just entering the clinic. Can’t thank the team I’ve dealt with enough (Dietician, Exercise Physiology and Reception). Happy to reccomended.
I can’t recommend this practice more highly! They are exceptional in every way. From the moment my mother and I walked in, for her first physio session, we were both made to feel incredibly welcome and special, and that continues with every visit. Mum is having great results and her physiotherapist, Dziila, has a very caring and beautiful way with my elderly mother. It’s very touching and is a comfortable space for mum to voice any problems and be heard. Thank you Sports and Spinal, Redcliffe! You guys ROCK! We love you and sure will continue to visit!
Totally recommend Sports and Spinal.
Great experience Great staff
Daniel is excellent as an Exercise Physiologist very good with us elderly showed total respect and maturity above his years. Very Happy
Wonderful staff, Physiotherapy, Excercise therapists & clinical pilates
Reception friendly & well organised, consultation was professional & treatment plan & options were thoroughly explained. The exercise program was ready to go & delivered electronically before I arrived home. Exercise app is easy to use, has both written & video instructions plus it tracks progress. Overall, I’m very happy with the service delivered.

Friendly and smiling staff on arrival. Tom was on time with the appointment and took the time to assess my situation with patience and understanding. Completed an array of exercises to establish level of pain and complexity. Feet taped as an initial treatment which helped with the discomfort. A written report was provided with details of my diagnosis and included a treatment plan going forward so I knew what to expect. Michelle was very helpful with booking future appointments so I could keep a regular schedule for treatment. Fantastic first visit. Highly recommend.
I’ve been going to S&S for 3 years now and everyone from Michelle at the front desk to the whole team Cara, Dan, Tim, Montana and Julia have been incredible. You’re always welcomed with a beautiful smile that makes you feel very much at home. They are all very down to earth people who are amazing at what they do and will have a great chat with you also.
Every time you’re appointment finishes you can’t wait for your next one!
