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.

WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF US

Best massage I have had in years. I am a clinical massage therapist myself and am pleased to have finally found someone with excellent clinical skills and very good practical skills
Very professional and friendly staff and Alex is a number 1 Physiotherapist was very impressed by my first visit to this Clinic today.Keep up the great work guys.
After seeing two different physios in Brisbane (quite unsuccessfully) to treat an ankle injury, I came across Gabba Sports and Spinals for their Pilates classes. I did an initial consult (a compulsory session before starting the classes) with Jayden, and regret not finding this place sooner. It was seriously heaven-sent to have stumbled across it and can't recommend Jayden enough, especially for ankle issues. He really listens to you and acts in your best interests by setting realistic goals and is a great source of encouragement in your recovery journey. All the Pilates instructors - Bianca, Belinda, Alex and Michael - are also very knowledgeable and friendly, and it is an amazing bonus to have physios and EP's as your instructors. The same applies for Destiny, the massage therapist, who is phenomenal.
Highly highly recommended... I've hugely improved my back with the unlimited 3 month Pilaties classes. Alex, Michael and Bianca thanks so much!!!
The Gabba team have been brilliant in getting me ‘back’ on track. Not only finding the issue and treating it, but also giving me at home exercises to help strengthen the muscles… all on a little app! Well done team and thank you 🤗
Had Pilates assessment and single classes with Lucy, amazing!! Had Pilates classes with Alex and Michael, both amazing!! Feeling like jelly in my muscles but in the best way hahaha
I have been attending Sports and Spinal since it opened here. I have a chronic pain issue and have liaised with many admin staff/physiotherapists/EP/remedial massage and podiatry over the years. I’ve always been treated by staff well knowing my personality intrinsically and the fact I have a background of adverse healthcare. I love using the gym area it’s been a godsend since I injured myself in 2011. Highly recommended.
I injured my ankle (it was bad), and I really thank Nita for all her help and support. I was back to full strength in five weeks with full mobility
Bianca has been my treating EP for some time now, she's helped me achieve my goals since surgery. I couldn't have asked for anyone better!The reception staff are always friendly and understanding.Highly recommend. 🙂
I have been working with Sports and Spinal Physiotherapy Woolloongabba since my illness from late 2020. They've helped me almost two years whenever I had a setbacks and very helpful and flexible while undertaking my individual circumstances. Highly recommend 👌
So glad I made the choice to visit sports and spinal. Alex was phenomenal and really helped me get back on my feet.

Blair took part in an interview on ABC radio 🎙discussing ‘bungalow legs’ - a term referring to muscle wastage in the legs as a result of not regularly using stairs🦵It is often experienced by elderly people who move into a single story dwelling. 🏠

If you, or someone you know is experiencing weakness in the legs, causing difficulty standing up or with general mobility, contact your local Sports & Spinal clinic and see how one of our Exercise Physiologists can help!

✨PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH WEEK 2023 ✨

THE THEME FOR 2023 IS CONNECTION THROUGH CONVERSATION 👯‍♀️

At Sports and Spinal we offer Women’s Health classes which allows you to connect and relate with other mums and build a supportive community around you 💕 

“Honest and compassionate conversations about perinatal mental health are life changing 💥 Whether you’re experiencing mental health challenges yourself, or if you’re concerned about a loved one we know that reaching out and talking about the way you’re feeling can be really hard ‼️It can feel tricky to find the right words. You might be worried about the way the person you’re talking to will react, and there’s a lot of fear around getting it wrong 🤦🏼‍♀️

That’s why this Perinatal Mental Health Week, we want you to know that everyone needs help at some point in their lives, and everyone deserves compassion and support 🙋🏾‍♀️ 

Reaching out, truly listening and making a connection is more important than getting the words completely perfect. 

The PANDA Helpline provides counselling, referral and peer support from parents who have been through similar challenges. When someone calls, they will speak with a counsellor who understands the challenges of being a new or expecting parent. PANDA counsellors and peer workers listen with kindness and compassion, help callers explore support options, and can also provide information about appropriate specialist services” @pandanational
