Hi, I’m Kelly
Most of you found your way to physiotherapy through sports and injuries. We have that in common. With your injury, having someone who understands not just what you’ve done, but what it’s like to be kept from what you want to do, means I am better placed to help you get better, faster. I am a wildly passionate in the area of endurance sports and there are very few things I like to talk about more, especially when it comes to injuries. This is where I would love to get involved in helping to guide and support your rehab journey.
My experience as a physio has provided me with the opportunity to work within multidisciplinary teams in different areas of physiotherapy including athletic groups, paediatrics, chronic pain and neurological physiotherapy. This diverse skillset will provide you with a thorough and holistic approach to your care.
Great physio and rehab is about you to feel listened to and trusted as we work towards your goals, resulting in you becoming the most resilient and capable version of yourself, where you have confidence in everything you do. Great rehab, guidance and support is paramount in recovery – and beyond. When we’re finished you’ll be stronger, both physically and mentally than before being injured in the first place.

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.
As the practice manager I’ll make you welcome, get things sorted and make it as easy as possible for you to concentrate on getting better.

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.
