Luke Rabone
Director/Exercise Physiologist
BSpExSc ESSAM
Luke graduated from the University of the Sunshine Coast back in 2008 with a degree in Sports and Exercise Science, and gained his Exercise Physiologist accreditation in early 2011. He has been the Owner and Director of Restart since 2012. Having been an EP for over 10 years, he continues to get a thrill from meeting with patients who seek greater understanding of their injury or health condition and provide them with practical tools to better their quality of life through exercise and movement.
A great example of this problem solving 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, take his dogs Clover and Lewy for a run, watch his beloved team Aston Villa play, and plan for his next travel adventure.

Nicola Simpson
Exercise Physiologist
BClinExP (Hons) ESSAM AEP
Nicola graduated from the University of Queensland in 2018 with a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science majoring in Exercise Physiology. During her time as an EP Nicola has developed a keen interest in injury and chronic pain management, and women’s health. She particularly enjoys working with people with knee, back and shoulder pain, endometriosis, and pre- and post-natal care. She has worked with many patients to help achieve their goals, reduce pain and improve functionality. Nicola believes in treating the person, not the condition.
A success story reflecting Nicola’s expertise is when she assisted a patient with chronic lower back and shoulder pain to progress from being unable to lift any object without pain, to deadlifting 70kg pain-free in 2 months.
In her spare time Nicola enjoys beach volleyball, playing board games with her friends and going hiking
