Newcastle Performance Physiotherapy

Our Team

Bonnie Gibbs

Hey! I’m Bonnie. I’m a physiotherapist and strength coach, and I love helping people reach their goals. I help you get there by using the latest evidence to develop a treatment and rehab plan focused on your optimal outcome.

Growing up in Norway, my childhood evolved around entertaining myself outdoors. Hiking, skiing, mountain biking, horse-riding, basketball, lifting – whatever your activity I’ve certainly tried it. Things haven’t changed being on this side of the planet, so if you’re a mover of any kind, or need pre-season training, coaching or rehabilitation, you’re in good hands.

An active life can come with pain and injury that stops you in your tracks. Your recovery and speedy return to what you love are my focus, as well as keeping you there and away from us. Whether your goal is to keep up with your kids, or bouldering in California, any task that is meaningful to you that you want to achieve, I’ll help get you there not matter your starting point.

Hi I’m Kieren.

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.

Growing up in Canberra, the bush capital and the home of the Green Machine, helped develop a keen interest in getting out into nature hiking or running. I played lots of team sports growing up; soccer, cricket  and rugby and eventually ended up competing in Powerlifting for around 5 years. The lessons learnt from team sports and strength training helped mould me as the person I am today. My own personal athletic endeavours have shifted towards running and triathlon training but strength training and getting out in the ocean are always mainstay of my day to day life.

I understand the value leading an active lifestyle can bring and nothing makes me happier than helping you return to the things that mean something to you. Helping people get involved in things they never thought they were capable of is also something I love doing. You’re never too old to start something new and I see your physical capacity as the way to achieve, not the reason you can’t do, the things you want to be doing.

Hey I’m Joe

Like you, physiotherapy for me started with injury. A running injury sidelined me from the track, so I get the the frustration you feel.
With help from a quality physio, that understood my desire to be at 100% as soon as possible, I was able to overcome that injury, and others down the line, and get back better than before.

That is now what I want to do with you. Rehab is an opportunity for you to work on your health, your performance, and my job is to bring my expertise in pain, injury and rehab and help you to excel at the things that are most important to you.

As a competitive middle distance runner, helping runners run, stay running and improve their running is my favourite thing to do. But helping anyone to minimise the effects of pain and injury and return to their best performance, be it in a race, or just racing after the kids, is the reason that I love what I do.

Hi, I’m Bec, the friendly face you will see when you walk through our doors.

David Renfrew

Hi, I’m Dave, the owner here at Newcastle Performance Physio. I love being a Physio, but i’m also a husband, father, football nut and science nerd.

This is normally the part where I tell you how awesome I am. I’ve worked in different countries, treated super fit athletes, treated famous people. But that’s sort of who cares, right? What you want to know is can I help you? You bet.

My favourite thing to do is to take the latest in research and practice in sports medicine and pain and apply it to normal people. The fancy bits of paper on my wall show that i’ve done extra training to help you get to where you are aiming. I’ve also, with varying degrees of success, been into the football codes, martial arts and resistance training.

I opened my practice because I saw a need for a place where people can access advice, education and treatment that is effective, modern and focused on the most important thing – you.

Check out our VIDEOS tab to get more information about what we do, how we are different and, most importantly, how we can help you.

If you’ve got some questions – awesome, give me a call. I don’t have all the answers but I certainly have some good ones.

Otherwise, BOOK IN and let’s get started.
