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 four-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 with specific education and motivational guidance to treat and manage your conditions.

Exercise facilitates changes within the body that increase its efficiency. This allows us to manage conditions or diseases that can cause our bodies to not function to the best of our 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. It 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.

Today is World Cerebral Palsy Day 💚
Movement is a lifelong investment. 💚
Better care starts with understanding your body.
We love to hear from you!
Today is R U OK? Day 💛
Today we celebrate World Physiotherapy Day! 🥳
That`s a wrap on another successful Better Outcomes Conference, proudly hosted in collaboration with @travis_schultz_partners!
Welcome in. 💚
Cerebral palsy can have a lifelong impact, which is why early detection and access to therapy can make an important difference for babies and their families.
Just six days ago, we wrapped up Steptember, with our Sports & Spinal team getting moving throughout September to raise funds for early detection and therapy for babies with cerebral palsy.
Together, we walked 35,661,443 steps (that’s the equivalent of two laps of Australia!) and raised $16,068 for the cause.
Cerebral palsy is also a particularly special cause for our Managing Director, Sean Campbell, who is passionate about Sports & Spinal continuing to get behind @steptemberau and supporting the work it does each year.
A huge thank you to everyone who stepped, donated, encouraged and got involved throughout September. We’re so proud of what our team achieved together and the difference those steps will make for babies and families affected by cerebral palsy.
#WorldCerebralPalsyDay #Steptember #SportsAndSpinal
Looking after your body isn’t just about where you are today; it’s about supporting the way you want to move, feel and live in the years ahead.
Whether it’s building strength, improving mobility, staying active, or simply making time to move more, every little bit counts.
Your body carries you through every stage of life. Investing in it is always worthwhile.
#SportsandSpinal #MovementMatters #MoveBetter

#RUOKDay #RUOK #SportsandSpinal
Back in 1992, we began as a dedicated physiotherapy practice. While we have since grown into a vibrant multidisciplinary family across 26 clinics, with the addition of our community team at TRS, our foundational roots still run deep, and we remain proudly led and run by a team of incredible physiotherapists.
A heartfelt thank you to all the incredible physiotherapists across the whole group. Your unwavering dedication to clinical excellence, patient care, and helping our communities move and feel better is truly inspiring.
Thank you for everything you do!
This weekend, we brought together people from across healthcare, allied health and personal injury for a day of learning, connection and collaboration, all with one shared goal: better outcomes for the people we support.
We were especially proud to bring together Katie Lyndon, CEO of Exercise & Sports Science Australia, and Rob LoPresti, CEO of the Australian Physiotherapy Association, for the first time. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to connect with our physiotherapy and exercise physiology teams, as well as the wider Sports & Spinal Group, and share ideas about the future of our professions.
A huge thank you to our incredible experts, panellists and presenters for sharing their knowledge, and to our generous sponsors, VALD, ASICS, EMS DolorClast Oceania, Alpha Sport and Bared Footwear, for helping make the day such a success.
We’re already looking forward to Better Outcomes 2027. Until then, we can’t wait to see the ideas, connections and knowledge from this year continue to make a difference.
#BetterOutcomes2026 #MultidisciplinaryCare #AlliedHealth
From a first appointment to a familiar routine, we love being part of your health journey.
