We are thrilled to announce that QSMC will be opening an additional clinic on Brisbane’s northside. Our new clinic will be located in a brand new specialist medical centre in Bowen Hills. This centre is in a fantastic central location with plenty of parking available and is also home to other medical specialists Briz Brain & Spine, Queensland X-Ray and more!
Within QSMC’s new clinic, both Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology will be under one roof. This will allow us to provide our clients with a complete rehabilitation service from injury to return to activity all in one venue. A number of our consultants will also be joining us including our long-term partner the Queensland Foot Centres.
The location of our brand new clinic can be seen via Google Maps below.
Since its inception, our QSMC and Aspire teams have worked collaboratively to deliver the full spectrum of care to all of our clients. It’s certainly no secret that the two brands, governed by the same ethos, have always worked together toward the best outcome for our clients as we all belong to the same family! The opening of the Bowen Hills clinic is the right time for us to seize the opportunity to further align our branding to simplify our message. To provide the highest quality Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology services as QSMC.
Nothing’s changed… Just our name.
Same exceptional service. Same high quality treatment. Same experienced team of professionals who care about your health.
The coming together under one brand will allow for a seamless transition between practitioners, giving our clients the best experience possible. The new clinic will be run by the same team, and our existing experienced and trusted practitioners, simply adding to the service we provide you.
With that, we would like to introduce to you our updated logo to reflect all the services we will provide across our Woolloongabba and Bowen Hills locations.
Our new Bowen Hills clinic will officially open to the public on the 6th of January, 2020. From this date, our experienced Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists will be treating clients at this location consistently.
On the 16th, 18th and 20th of December 2019, a small number of practitioners will begin using the clinic to ensure all of our processes are seamless before opening officially. If you would like to book in to see someone at Bowen Hills before 2020, please contact our reception team on (07) 3891 2000.
As a large number of our practitioners are treating at both Bowen Hills and Woolloongabba, you will be able to book your appointment at a location that suits you best. Some of our practitioners will continue to treat exclusively at Woolloongabba, so make sure you have a look online or contact our reception team who will help you find the right appointment for you.

Matt is an easy going, friendly Tasmanian bred Queenslander who has spent the last 2 years in Tropical Far North Queensland.
You will rarely find Matt relaxing with his feet up (unless having a quiet beer), as he is constantly living an active and energetic lifestyle playing sport, surfing or exploring the wilderness via foot or mountain bike.
Having played various sports at both state and national levels during his teens and into his mid-twenties, Matt soon began to appreciate the importance nutrition plays in achieving high performance results.

Combining Matt’s sporting background, his passion for crafting nutritious food and making a mess in the kitchen, as well as his passion and desire to help people (or “to empower and inspire people to take control of their health and wellbeing”), led him to discover his career as a Sports Dietitian.
