Bayside Physiotherapy team have joined the Sports & Spinal family to continue to provide the Highest Quality Patient Care.
We are located on the beautiful Fraser Coast in Urraween, conveniently located near Kawungan, Scarness, Pialba, Dundowran, Torquay, Urangan, Eli Waters, Point Vernon, Wondunna and Nikenbah.
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.

LOWER BACK PAIN ⚡️
Unfortunately, back pain is a common problem in our society, with 80-90% of adults experiencing back pain in their lifetime.
Here’s 3 tips you should know:
1. Early movement is key! Avoiding bed rest is important in helping your recovery and will not cause harm 🧘♀️
2. Pain does not necessarily mean damage! Think of pain as your body’s internal alarm system, sensing for danger that might cause you harm. Sometimes, this alarm system can react in a way that’s not proportionate to the danger it detects 🚨 ‼️
3. Don’t panic! Most lower back pain will go away within the first 4-6 weeks. Be confident your back will get better with time if you stay active and follow the advice given by your health professionals
Here’s some of @sportsandspinalmorayfield go-to exercises for lower back pain. For a further individualised assessment, book in with any of our Sports & Spinal teams and let us get you (back) on track 💪🏻
