Sports and Spinal Physio
Redcliffe Sports & Spinal is located at 29-31 Anzac Avenue Redcliffe, QLD 4020, conveniently near Rothwell, Kippa-Ring, Margate, Woody Point, Newport, Sandgate and Scarborough.
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 in 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.
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, and exercises and identify any injuries/restrictions that we may need to be aware of prior to a patient attending a class.
Redcliffe Sports & Spinal is NDIS registered and accepts Medicare rebates and HICAPS health fund claims. EFTPOS and credit card facilities are also available for payment.
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.

Physiotherapist - Lymphoedema & General
Cara completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the Australian Catholic University in Brisbane and has gained diverse clinical experience across all areas of physiotherapy.
Each day in the clinic, Cara treats a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. This remains a core focus of her practice and an area she continues to feel passionate about. From managing sporting injuries and joint pain to guiding clients through post-surgical rehabilitation, Cara enjoys the challenge of problem-solving and developing personalised treatment plans to help people move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities they love. She is also a qualified dry needling practitioner and regularly incorporates this technique to support pain relief and recovery.
Cara has also completed further specialised training and is a qualified lymphoedema and lipoedema therapist. She is experienced in treating lymphoedema affecting the upper and lower limbs, breasts, genitals, trunk, abdomen, and paediatric cases. Her comprehensive treatment approach for lymphoedema and lipoedema includes manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, exercise prescription, education, and garment prescription.

Cara still remembers the exact day she knew she wanted to be a physiotherapist, at just 14 years old! As an avid soccer player, her interest was sparked by the care and support she received from physiotherapists for injuries sustained on the field. She understands firsthand the physical, social, and emotional impact of injury and ensures her clients’ best interests are always at the forefront of their care. Together, you’ll smash goals and get back to doing what you love.
Away from physiotherapy, Cara enjoys playing soccer, cheering on the Broncos under the Friday night lights at Suncorp, and escaping into a good book. Word of warning: if the Broncos have a win, you’ll definitely hear about it.

Montana Moyle
Physiotherapist - Women’s Health and Persistent Pain
Born and raised in Australia, Montana graduated with First Class Honours from the University of Queensland.

She further honed her knowledge and skills in manual therapy and soft tissue release techniques there. Montana also pursued additional training in dry needling and Western Acupuncture and became proficient in conducting regular Mat Pilates sessions.
Montana was fortunate to spend a couple of years in the UK, gaining invaluable experience in a private hospital in Northern England and private practice in central London. While working in the orthopaedic ward, she deepened her understanding of surgical procedures and protocols, establishing crucial relationships with some of the world’s leading surgeons. In London, Montana worked in the boutique health and fitness space, combining hands-on treatment with Dynamic Reformer Pilates. Her exercise prescription skills are a testament to the high-quality training she received overseas.
Since joining the team at Sports and Spinal in 2020, Montana has furthered her training in the Women’s Health and Persistent Pain space, completing Level 1 and 2 APA Women’s Pelvic Health courses and NOI Group Explain Pain courses. This has equipped her to work with pelvic health conditions and complex persistent pain presentations. She is excited to continue to grow and develop in these fields.
