Samuel Gillespie

Sam brings a rare combination of clinical expertise and elite sporting experience to his physiotherapy practice.

Originally from Dalby and graduating from the University or Queensland with honors, Sam built his clinical foundation where it counts: on the side line and in the rehab room. His 12-month internship with the South Logan Magpies gave him hands-on experience in acute injury management, injury prevention, and high-performance return-to-sport rehabilitation skills he now brings to every patient he treats, regardless of whether they’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior.

Sam’s passions are treating the knee, ankle, and shoulder injuries, with a particular talent for helping active people get back to the sport, training, or the lifestyle they love. Having competed in sport himself, he understands the physical and psychological toll that injury takes and what it actually means to get back to full function, not just pain-free movement.

His approach is direct, evidence-based, and built around your goals. Sam takes the time to understand what you want to achieve, then builds a rehabilitation program designed to get you there and keep you there.

We are very lucky for Sam to now call the Sunshine Coast home! Sam enjoys Golf, Rugby and spending time outdoors with family and Friends. That active, outdoor lifestyle isn’t just a hobby, it is his passion for health, movement, and sport.  This drives his commitment to helping patients recover, perform, and live life to their fullest potential.

Sam is available for Physiotherapy appointments at Sports & Spinal Coolum.
