Sports & Spinal Coolum is located on the beautiful Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast, conveniently located near Peregian Beach, Yandina, and Mudjimba.
With a strong focus on core conditioning, breathing and body awareness, our Core, Strength & Mobility (CSM) classes provide a safe and highly effective way to improve flexibility, strength and control without adding bulk or placing unnecessary stress on your joints.
Classes incorporate a variety of exercises designed to develop balance, power, strength and stability. Sessions can be completed using specialised Pilates equipment — including reformers, trapeze tables and exercise balls — in our CSM Studio classes, or in mat-based classes that utilise bodyweight and minimal equipment.
Programs are individually tailored and progressively adjusted using clear clinical criteria, making CSM suitable for rehabilitation, injury prevention, or maintaining strength after physiotherapy. From your first session, we provide ongoing guidance and education so you continue to move better, feel stronger and build confidence in your body.
Our Core, Strength & Mobility classes are designed as a sustainable fitness approach for life. They are the perfect complement to cardiovascular exercise, sport and rehabilitation, helping you feel toned, energised and moving with ease.
Both Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists with Clinical Pilates experience lead our classes. Clinical Pilates refers to personalised, one-on-one Pilates often used in injury rehabilitation and alongside physiotherapy treatment. At Sports & Spinal Coolum, we offer both individual and class-based options to suit your specific needs.
All participants are required to complete an initial assessment with a Physiotherapist or Exercise Physiologist before joining a class. This allows us to introduce you safely to equipment and exercises, while identifying any injuries or movement restrictions to ensure your program is appropriate and effective.
Sessions are delivered within a clinical environment to ensure the right level of supervision, technique correction and progression.
Sports & Spinal Coolum is NDIS registered and accepts Medicare rebates and HICAPS health fund claims. EFTPOS and credit card facilities are also available for payment.
Core, Strength & Mobility classes are perfect for toning and reshaping the body. It works on creating long, lean muscles, toning all of those hard to target areas such as the abdominals, inner thighs, buttocks, back of thighs, sides and backs of the arms. For toning, these classes are best performed 3 to 5 times a week through a combination of studio sessions, mat classes and home exercises.
Pilates exercises are performed through a wide range of movements and work on lengthening the muscles at the same time as strengthening them. To increase flexibility, stretching exercises need to be performed daily.
The Clinical Pilates exercises used in our Core, Strength & Mobility classes focus on strengthening the weakened postural muscles and stretching the tight muscles that pull the body into these poor postures. Studio sessions are the best way to improve posture as our physiotherapists can develop a program to target your specific postural problems. Pilates can also be used for back pain as it relaxes and strengthens the muscles, easing the discomfort.
Our Core, Strength & Mobility classes use Clinical Pilates techniques which are fantastic for injury rehabilitation and prevention as it works on core stability, posture, flexibility, and correcting muscle imbalances and weaknesses via specific strengthening. It can be used for arthritis, neck pain, back pain and various injuries.
Pilates is the secret tool that many high level and recreational athletes use to enhance their performance, decrease the risk of injuries and provide much-needed cross-training. Each sport has specific strength and flexibility requirements. When you book in for an assessment, your physiotherapist will look at the things you need to work on to improve your performance and then proceed to design a Pilates program for you.

What Coolum Patients Say
Kate was phenomenal!!! I incurred a groin injury during an ice hockey game, and was worried that my season was n jeopardy. Turns out it was a significant tear. But thanks to Kate’s treatment plan, positivity and hands on approach, I made a full recovery faster than my expectations!! Can’t thank her enough, or more highly recommend her as a physio!
Finding a medical clinic that is genuinely helpful has been a real challenge for me personally, as I deal with chronic back pain from an injury and chronic migraines. The friendly reception staff make you feel so welcome every single time – it truly doesn’t go unnoticed. Leah is an incredible massage therapist who has helped me so much with my neck pain, back pain, and migraines. Kate, the physiotherapist, has also been amazing in supporting my recovery with stretches, massage, and acupuncture. It has taken me over a year to find someone worth seeing, and I only wish I had started going sooner. I can’t recommend COOLUM Sports & Spinal enough! Friendly, professional, and they actually help you!! Thank you – Cassandra.
The staff are wonderful,
Helpful and understanding,
Great place they make you feel very welcome, great clinic, very clean,
Easy parking, great cafe’s around for lunch or just a coffee
One of the first times I’ve ever come out of a medical establishment feeling genuinely improved, it is unfortunate Dr. Rod is retiring, many sore bodys will miss his healing hands
The staff at Sports and Spinal are knowledgeable and professional, thanks to them I have been able to keep surfing despite my injuries.
What a wonderful place to heal! The staff not only excel at their professions but are friendly and welcoming as well.
After suffering knee and lower back pain for a long time it was relieved enormously after treatment from Physiotherapist Louise and a new approach in the gym designed by Sophie the Exercise Physiologist.
I have also improved my health and well being by seeing Candice the Dietitian and feel so much better for it! Not only have I lost weight but my blood pressure is down as is my cholesterol thanks to an ever evolving plan and oversight with regular appointments.
I recommend Sports and Spinal Coolum to everyone!
I found a physio Kate who was recommended to help me from bilateral knee surgery. Kate was great, she listened and encouraged a very determined patient get my mobility back and get back to work. Thankyou very much Kate, your professionalism, your work out programs and settle and frank assessments were very appreciated. I highly recommend anyone to give Coolum Sports & Spinal a call.
Thanks everyone Thanks Kate Well Done.
The Coolum Admin team are second to none! such a wonderful group of ladies and very helpful! I can’t fault the clinical advice I recieved. Koren put me on the right track and gave me the tools to make a great recovery.
I have going to Sports & Spinal Coolum for approximately 7 years. I was a broken down shell of a man with multiple physical & psychological issues. Sports & Spinal Coolum in particular Ms Louise Meek has played a huge role in getting me back to being healthy & having a great quality of life again.

Strong grip strength is also a key indicator of overall health. Research shows people with stronger grips often experience better health outcomes, faster rehab, and even improved cognitive function as they age. It’s a simple way to track progress, guide strength training, and monitor rehabilitation.
Big thanks to the legends at @coolum_sportsandspinal for this clip, the team has some serious grip strength!
