Chermside Sports & Spinal is located opposite the Westfield Shopping Centre. Just a short drive north of Brisbane’s central business district, conveniently located near Aspley, Carseldine, Everton Park, Mitchelton, Nundah, Stafford, Boondall, Banyo, Taigum, and Wavell Heights.
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.

Lauren Robinson
Exercise Physiologist
For Lauren, becoming a Clinical Exercise Physiologist was a no-brainer. She spent many years competing as an elite swimmer at both junior and senior levels. Over the past three years, Lauren has gained experience in personal training, group fitness, and sports coaching. She has also worked with a variety of clients, including those in paralympic/disability sports, paediatrics, and older adults. Through her experiences, she has learned just how crucial exercise and physical activity is for improving health, enhancing recovery, and promoting independence.
Lauren graduated from the University of Queensland with a degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology (Honours) and has a keen interest in cancer, neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Lauren’s passion is to help guide individuals throughout their unique physical and mental wellbeing journeys. She believes in taking the time to connect with clients to listen to their concerns and provides her knowledge and experience to empower them to live more active and healthy lifestyles.
When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find Lauren at the gym or Pilates studio, online shopping, and following sports such as the AFL, NRL and Formula 1.
Lauren is available for exercise physiology appointments at Chermside Sports & Spinal.
Elise Wild-Smith

Elise is very passionate about the positive impact of physical activity on health and well-being and understands that this will look different for everyone. Elise endeavours to facilitate holistic, individualised, and achievable interventions for the best possible patient outcomes. Through her study, professional development and lived experience, Elise has developed the skills and knowledge to assist her patients in improving movement patterns and enjoying exercise.
Outside of her role as an Exercise Physiologist, Elise enjoys leading an active and balanced lifestyle through Pilates and the gym, going to the beach and finding the best gluten-free eats.
Elise is available for Exercise Physiology appointments at our Chermside & Indooroopilly clinics.
