All of our team are Physiotherapists and Strength Coaches, so we are uniquely placed to deliver lasting results for long term pain, sports injuries and physical performance goals. We'd rather you not get injured, but if it happens, you want the best option for your health, fitness and future. The other fancy word for this is Capacity - can you do what you need to do for as long as you need to do it?.
No, we can see you straight away for your problem and start your rehab without delay. We can even send you for images or discuss your problem with the best doctors and specialists in Newcastle. If your problem is covered by Workcover, Compulsory Third Party or the Department of Veterans Affairs, we will need a referral for these appointments.

I feel lucky being able to hear about peoples passions and athletic endeavours on a day to day basis. Your goals and passions are my priority, and getting you back to the things you love is what I feel it is we really do. I'm constantly blown away at what everyday people achieve with their rehab, whilst still managing the other aspects of their lives.
We are aiming to create a New Normal level of physical capacity and health literacy in the Newcastle Community. There is a big gap in the current standard practice of pain and injury rehabilitation and the level required to produce happy, healthy humans. This needs to close. So much of what is experienced in pain and injury is preventable, treatable and we believe people are more capable than they think or that they have been told.
These are the underlying drivers of what we do. This is what sets us apart and what helps us to push for change, for quality and for a better future. We also want to know what you value, so we can design our treatment plans so that you achieve the things that mean the most to you. So much of healthcare blends into a similar shade of beige.
Are you a weapon of physiotherapy, strength and conditioning, pain science or exercise science? Do you feel deep in your gut the need to change the face of health in your community and the standard of the Physical Therapies professions? Do you want to come to work with other people laser focused on improving the future for their clients, themselves and the people in their lives?
Over the years, more and more people have experienced back pain that lasts for longer and becomes a bigger and bigger problem. No matter which back pain you have, we can help you. Especially if it's the third version, the one that has been there for a long time and is stopping you from doing the things you love.

One of their great team, Bonny, over-summers in Japan. When I blew my ACL there, she was 'jonny-on-the-spot' with assessment, recommendations, advise and a pair of safe hands in an awkward situation. Her professionalism, knowledge and personal attention were top notch. Over the many days of follow-up as I traveled back to Aus, she was happy to offer support, recommendations and follow-up as though I had been a patient for years. Highly recommended. 5 out of 5.

I saw David for a foot injury and I found him very easy to talk to, knowledgeable and professional. He assessed my injury and then explained everything clearly to me. He gave me access to a Mobile APP, with exercise videos, which were tailored specifically for my recovery. I am now running again pain free!! Thank you David!

Based off a recommendation I saw Fab for a chest injury. Fab was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. My appointments were always on time and accommodated around my schedule. My injury and exercises were explained to me clearly. I never felt like I was being rushed when in a session or that I was having sessions unnecessarily. It is obvious they care about their patients Highly recommend !!

I have been seeing David off and on for a couple of years now, and every time I have injured myself he has had me back to normal within 3 visits at the most. His knowledge is exceptional and he explains your injury to you in thorough, and in a way that you will understand. He is not one of those physios that keep you coming back time and time again, He gets you to a point where you are both happy, then gives you the tools and knowledge to work on improving and maintaining your progress yourself. I have no hesitation in recommending Newcastle Performance Physiotherapy to anyone.

Dave at Newcastle Performance Physio was knowledgeable and direct with his treatment of my chronic lower back pain. I found his knowledge on chronic pain, its cause and treatment gave me hope that I would not suffer from back pain forever. His point of difference was to design a specialised training program focusing on movement and building strength which I found my back responded to so much more than the usual "few stretches completed twice daily". For me the proof is in the pudding, Dave has got me back running and for the first time in years I actually feel as though my back pain is only temporary

Newcastle performance physio is the best in town, David is very good at what he does, and he truly cares for you, the patient. One of the best things is David constructs an individual rehab plan for you that gets you quickly on your way to recovery. I have been to other physios in Newcastle over the years but they don't even compare to the professionalism and effectiveness of Newcastle Performance physio. I wouln't go anywhere else and i highly reccommend anyone who requires the services of a physio and wants to be well looked after to go to Newcastle performance physiotherapy. 5/5 stars
