Accredited Exercise Physiologists are allied health professionals providing exercise and lifestyle therapies to prevent and manage chronic disease, injury, and disability.
An Exercise Physiologist (EP) is a 4 year, University-trained Allied Health professional who is an exercise prescription expert. They will work with you to design a specific exercise program tailored to your injuries, health status and goals.
Our Exercise Physiologists at Sports & Spinal can help your condition by working with you to formulate an appropriate treatment plan to assist in reaching your specific goals. Exercise Physiologists use movement and exercise in conjunction with specific education and motivational guidance to treat and manage your conditions.
Sports & Spinal’s accredited Exercise Physiologist can assist with Diabetes & Obesity, General Health & Wellbeing, Mental Health Issues, Musculoskeletal Injuries, Neurological Conditions, Strength & Conditioning, Women’s Health, Aging, Chronic Pain, Fatigue, Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, Paediatrics and Cancer.
Exercise facilitates changes within the body that increases its efficiency. This allows us to be able to manage conditions or diseases, that can cause our bodies to not function to the best ability.
You can expect our Exercise Physiologist to listen to your personal story and ask questions, so they can work with you to guide an appropriate treatment plan. Our Exercise Physiologist will complete a detailed, goal-focused, clinical, and functional assessment.
Treatment will vary and be specific to you but will likely involve modified movement and exercises to build your capacity and function through strength, fitness, balance, and more. Treatment will change and progress while working alongside your Exercise Physiologist. Our Exercise physiologists will provide education on health, conditions, injuries and what to do and what not to do may take place in different environments, including our onsite gym, your regular gym and pools, depending on your interests and goals. Our Exercise Physiologist believes in a multi-disciplinary approach and will work with other health professionals to help manage your condition.

Exercise Physiologist
Christina graduated from Southern Cross University with a Master’s in Clinical Exercise Physiology after having completed a Bachelor’s degree in Sport and Exercise Science. During her studies, Christina has developed an interest in a variety of conditions ranging from musculoskeletal to neurological and chronic conditions. Christina is passionate about showing clients that exercise is medicine and that regular individualised exercise is an essential part to improve one’s physical and mental health.
Additional to her clinical studies, Christina has completed training in Mat and Studio Pilates. Combining resistance-based exercise programs with Pilates to support clients’ rehabilitation is a special interest of hers with a belief that both modalities complement each other wonderfully.
Christina is passionate about helping clients be physically independent and active as much as possible to improve their quality of life. She is highly motivated to provide optimal client service to ensure each individual feels supported on their exercise journey.
Christina is originally from Germany and moved to Australia in 2016 where she fell in love with surfing and Australia’s beautiful nature. She also enjoys participating in Pilates classes, performing strength and surf-based training finished off with an Açaí bowl, coffee, and friends near the beach.
Christina is available for Exercise Physiology appointments at our Robina clinic.
