Sports & Spinal Strathpine is located at Strathpine Square opposite the Coffee Club in Brisbane’s northern suburbs. The clinic is conveniently located near Bald Hills, Warner, Bray Park, Lawnton, Bracken Ridge and Brendale.
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, goals, capacity, fatigue management, and safe loading principles. This supports long-term improvement rather than temporary peaks.
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.
Programs may support people managing chronic conditions, return-to-work requirements, or deconditioning. Progressions are set with measurable goals such as strength tolerance, walking capacity, balance, and functional stamina.
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.
This service is particularly valuable for individuals wanting accountability and a clinically designed pathway to stronger, safer movement.

Jesse McKenzie
Exercise Physiologist
Jesse McKenzie
Exercise Physiologist
Jesse graduated with a Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology, alongside a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science, and brings a strong evidence-based approach to his clinical practice. He has a special interest in musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation and injury prevention, while also enjoying the full scope of exercise physiology, including cardiometabolic, neurological, and chronic disease management.
Jesse’s passion for musculoskeletal rehabilitation stems from his own experience managing a severe lower back injury sustained through powerlifting. Through the rehabilitation process and returning to pain-free movement, Jesse saw first-hand how targeted, well-prescribed exercise can dramatically improve quality of life. This experience sparked his commitment to helping others overcome pain, rebuild confidence, and return to the activities that matter most to them.
Jesse is deeply motivated to achieve outcomes his clients may never have thought possible and strives to deliver the highest quality, person-centred care. He values working closely with clients to develop tailored, sustainable exercise programs that support long-term health, function, and independence.
Outside the clinic, Jesse enjoys staying active through all things sport and gym-related, watching every Brisbane Broncos game, and spending time at the beach. He also loves playing guitar and, most of all, quality time with family.
Jesse is available for Exercise Physiology appointments at our Chermside and Strathpine clinics.
What Our Patients Say
My first experience with a physio who seemed to be listening deeply to my offered information and to my body through his skilled eyes and hands. I felt Sam’s intelligence through that contact, and I’m very confident that his guidance is safe and therapeutic to follow. Thank you!
I had an appointment with Sam today which was fantastic. I had fallen through some stairs approximately a month ago and I have been performing some exercises to try and fix my hips – as I have been struggling to walk. Sam recognized straight away that it was my pelvis that was the issue and not my hips – and then performed tests to confirm the diagnosis. He then provided me a program – and then altered it to suit my level of pain. Was a great experience.
I would highly recommend this place to others .
I had a spinal problem and was referred to this clinic by my GP.
I never ever thought that with only couple of visits I would go back to my normal baseline function.
Thanks to Simran for the wonderful job she has done for me .
Easy going, friendly staff – a smile greets you as you walk in. Pilates classes are focussed on you and what is best for you. Physios are great and really get you going again. A great place to visit for your health and wellbeing.
Brilliant service, fast and effective results, Sam has been nothing but accommodating and informative with my care needs and treatment. I couldn’t recommend them enough.
I have visited Sports and Spinal at Chermside over the past few years and have never hesitated to refer my personal training clients there as well. Through sports related injuries, Sam had provided me clarity and direction in the rehabilitation process. He is informative, thorough in his approach, and genuinely passionate about his work. You can trust that you will be well looked after by the team here!
I saw Sam today and it was a great experience! He’s an excellent physio—knowledgeable, professional, and really takes the time to understand the issue. I walked out feeling much better and with a clear plan moving forward. Highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a skilled and approachable physiotherapist!
Amazing !!
Talara (massag) has magic hands! Her knowledge of the body is incredible. Her empathy & care during my treatments were beyond my expectations.
Gemma (physio) is amazing. She introduced me to pilates *wow !
Very expert care all around.
I’m a huge fan!
Sam Moyle (Chermside Sports & Spinal – Senior Physio (Lower Back & Spinal) Rehab Physiotherapist)
Highly recommend Sam’s professional and personally adapted treatment plans. I’m could barely walk after a severe back injury at work (construction) and after a 12 week treatment plan with Sam I was running, stretching and lifting better than ever!
EXPECTAION:
I am naturally quite selective with quality health care for myself because I have two siblings who are doctors (GP & Anesthetist) and another sibling who is specifically a senior physio/team leader on the orthopedic ward at the RBH for the last 20yrs+. After playing a lot of semi-professional sport (rugby league & cricket) myself, I also expect a lot from my body and wanted to get back to performing at a high level, not just surviving through daily life.
RESULTS:
I didn’t require surgery luckily but Sam’s great knowledge and experience with Back Rehab saw him arrive at the same prognosis as the orthopedic surgeon I was referred to for a precautionary consult. Sam even took the time after hours to personally contact me and follow up with my progress after our treatment plan was completed. I wish I could afford to see Sam weekly still for ongoing relief of mild pain because all other treatments I’ve tried just don’t get me moving so freely like after a session with Sam.
I am middle aged (mid 30’s), fairly fit with kids under 5 and was devastated when I couldn’t even play with them after my injury – I’m so grateful that Sam fixed me and gave me back this simple joy of fatherhood of playing with my young ones.
CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH SAM, THANKS AGAIN!
The upgrades are complete! The new look @sportsandspinalcaloundra is officially here. The team is settled, the space looks incredible, and there is a lot of extra energy in the clinic this week!

Exercise physiology is a recognised and essential part of Australia’s health system, supported through Medicare, DVA, the NDIS and private health funds. Yet it is still subject to GST. This means people managing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, obesity and mental health challenges are paying extra for care that helps them live better, healthier lives.
We don’t think that’s right, which is why we’re supporting Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) in their campaign to remove GST from exercise physiology services.
Our team are calling on our community to support @essa_au`s petition to reach 50,000 signatures.
