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 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.

Cheese: friend or foe? 🧀
The Better Outcomes Conference is back for 2026.
To qualify, students across occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychology and other allied health professions are required to complete hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of hours of mandatory unpaid clinical placement.
Many experience significant financial hardship during this time, often referred to as `placement poverty`, due to lost income and the added costs of travel, accommodation, food and other living expenses.
To help address this issue, Allied Health Professions Australia (AHPA) has launched a national petition calling for the Commonwealth Prac Payment to be expanded to all allied health students.
We encourage you to support the next generation of allied health professionals by signing the petition and helping end placement poverty.

There’s a lot of debate about whether cheese is healthy, but our Accredited Practising Dietitian team has the facts!
Pros: Great source of protein and calcium, versatile in meals, and hard cheeses are low in lactose.
Be mindful: Can be energy dense, so choose lite options if needed, and keep cheese cold when on the go.
Ways to enjoy: Snack with veggies or fruit, top toast with cottage cheese or ricotta, or add to tray bakes, pasta, and other meals for extra protein and energy.
For personalised advice on including cheese or other foods in your diet, reach out to your local Sports & Spinal dietitian today!
