DIRECTOR / PRACTITIONER [BUNDABERG]
Welcome to CORE Health and Rehabilitation.
​
My name is Nicholas (Nick) Samra, the founder and director at CORE Health and Rehabilitation. With a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Science I am a qualified, and ESSA accredited Exercise Physiologist. My experience as an exercise physiologist has been broad, working with exercise intervention to suit many different needs and focuses.

​
WHY DO I PRACTICE?
I am a practitioner with a "core" belief in exercise. My knowledge and passion for exercise and the reward, both mentally and physically are not just developed through textbook but the life I live.
​
If I am not training clients, I am in the gym, on the football feild or keeping up with my Border Collie - Ollie.
