Physiotherapist providing hands-on treatment for knee pain at Sport & Spine Physiotherapy Newcastle

At Sport & Spine Physiotherapy, we help people in Newcastle and the Hunter region move better, live without pain, and return to the activities that matter most. Whether you’re dealing with ongoing discomfort, an exercise injury, a work-related strain, or recovery after surgery, our physiotherapists combine evidence-based care with hands-on treatments that get results.

What Is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a health service that focuses on understanding how movement, posture, strength and joint function impact your pain and performance. Using clinical assessment and movement testing, our team identifies the root causes of your symptoms and creates a personalised plan to improve your function — not just temporarily ease discomfort.

We work with adults and athletes of all ages and activity levels, including people with:

Back pain and neck pain
Shoulder, hip and knee pain
Muscle strains and ligament sprains
Sports injuries and recovery needs
Post-operative rehabilitation
Repetitive strain injuries (work or hobby related)
Balance or mobility concerns
Joint stiffness and loss of movement

What to Expect in Your First Physiotherapy Appointment

Discuss your goals

You’ll begin by discussing the reason for your appointment and how your symptoms developed.

Complete an assessment

You'll go through a series of movements, and depending on the injury we’ll also perform a sequence of physical tests.

Discover your options

A conversation and questions, along with a physical examination, are usually enough for the physio to arrive at a diagnosis from there we will discuss the treatment options with you.

Start a custom treatment plan

Your Sport & Spine physiotherapist will develop a treatment plan with you that will incorporate a number of different options that are best suited to you and your symptoms in order for you to achieve your goals.
