As a team we get great satisfaction from helping our patients move away from pain to a state of greater health and well-being. We love to empower and educate our patients to better understand their health concerns and re-discover energy and vitality.
Luke Rabone
Director
BSpExSc ESSAM
Having consistently worked with patients of all ages, presentations and backgrounds, Luke has amassed a vast amount of experience since gaining his accreditation as an Exercise Physiologist in 2011.
During this time, Luke has developed extensive knowledge from a combination of external professional development courses, continued research and self-driven learning tasks, and most importantly, testing and measuring what truly works with his patients daily.
This enables him to support and guide patients across a broad spectrum of injuries, conditions and diagnoses. He specialises most closely with people:
- wanting to overcome chronic joint pain;
- those stuck in repetitive injury cycles; and
- those seeking a better understanding of how to make long-lasting and sustainable lifestyle change.
A great example of this guidance was when he assisted a 67-year old retired motor mechanic to overcome chronic neck pain over a two-month treatment period. Not only was reducing pain important for the patient’s physical and mental well-being, it also enabled him to continue providing mechanic services to his family, providing him with a sense of purpose and value to his loved ones.
Away from work, Luke loves to read non-fiction books, spend time with his young daughter Quinn, watch his beloved team Aston Villa play, and plan for the next travel adventure.
“Working with Luke at Restart Carseldine has been such a positive experience for me. I came to Luke with a number of issues that had impacted my life for years. After seeing numerous specialists and feeling like I was running out of options, I had just about given up hope. But after just one session with Luke, I began to notice real improvement, and it reignited my confidence in the recovery process.
Luke’s clear guidance and encouragement make every session productive and motivating. He explains each exercise and its purpose in a way that’s easy to understand, keeping me motivated throughout.
His ability to adapt the program as I progressed, gradually building challenge and complexity, has led to real improvements in my strength and mobility.
What truly sets Luke apart is his attention to detail and his genuine concern for my progress. The results have exceeded my expectations. The progress I’ve made wouldn’t have been possible without Luke’s dedication and skill. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”

Tom Creevey
Senior Exercise Physiologist
BClinExPhys ESSAM
Tom graduated with a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology from the Queensland University of Technology in 2021. Since graduating Tom has undertaken extensive professional development in the field of musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation, with particular emphasis on chronic low back pain.
Secondary to this, Tom underwent further training in the role of Cardiac Scientist at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and maintains a keen interest in improving cardiovascular health and fitness.
Tom’s offers a comprehensive yet holistic approach to healthcare, providing simplistic and realistic advice to improve physical health and function through a combination of movement, education, and support.
Tom has seen success implementing this approach with patients. An example of this was when Tom assisted a 45-year-old father and business owner recover from a complex spinal surgery. Not only did this patient improve their strength and reduce pain, through education and progressive movement retraining this patient regained confidence in their ability to recommence many daily activities and hobbies that had previously been seen as “things of the past”. Restoring a sense of autonomy and independence provided this patient with newfound hope and optimism for the future.
Outside of work, Tom enjoys working on his own physical and mental health through exercise, spending time in nature, and spending quality time with friends and family.
“I saw Tom about a shoulder that had been giving me some grief for at least 6 weeks. After a short discussion, he provided me with a plan that included some mobility/rehabilitation exercises. It was mentally reassuring to have a plan set in place, and after a couple of weeks my shoulder was already feeling significantly better. The patience and reassurance provided by Tom was great.”

“I could not say enough nice words about this crew. Tom has been helping my disabled sister in more ways than I thought possible for the past couple of years. I had no idea the impact would be so far reaching. Through initial assessment, then transitioning from pool-based exercise to the gym, came a restoration of confidence, self-worth and a whole bunch of things that have compelled my sister to enjoy life again. It is the happiest and most outgoing I’ve seen her in possibly twenty years which makes me really happy.”

Over that time, Ella helped me build strength, move with more confidence, and feel safer trusting my knee again. She always took the time to understand how I was feeling and adapted sessions to suit my needs, which made a huge difference to both my pain and confidence. I am now stronger, more capable, and far more confident in my day-to-day movement. I would highly recommend Ella to anyone managing ongoing pain or looking to build strength in a supportive and knowledgeable environment.”
