Our Services
We provide a range of services to help get the everyday athletes of Newcastle back to their best.
Sporting injuries
Sporting injuries can result in frustration, anxiety, time away from doing what you love and even early retirement. We are experts in treating a wide range of injuries and will guide you through the entire process, using specific strength and performance measurements to time your return to sport. Once you achieve your goals, we will leave you with a specific strengthening program to ensure you stay on the field for the long term
Examples of sporting injuries we treat include: Upper limb and lower limb muscle strains and tears, meniscus injuries, Ligament injuries (rolled ankles, knee injuries such as ACL, MCL tears), fractures and bone injuries, tendon injuries, shoulder dislocations and more.
Non-Traumatic Pain or Injury
Not all injuries have an obvious reason for occurring, which can lead to confusion and fear about the resilience of your body. We have extensive experience treating these types of injuries and will ensure that as you become pain free, you are well informed about why the injury may have occurred in the first place. This way, once you return to doing what you love, you keep doing it, with confidence.
Examples of non-traumatic pain and injury include: Patellofemoral pain (knee pain), tendinopathies, spinal pain, rotator cuff pain (shoulder pain), foot and ankle pain and more.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Having surgery can be a big decision- once you have made that decision, you want to ensure you have high-quality rehabilitation to get the absolute most out of the procedure in the long-term, and return to doing the things you love as soon as possible. We will develop individualised rehabilitation programs and work with your surgeon to ensure all you need to do is focus on getting better.
Post-operative areas we treat include: Knee surgery (ACL, MCL, meniscus repairs)- Shoulder surgery (rotator cuff repairs, shoulder stabilisation procedures) - Ankle surgery (ligament repairs and fractures)- Joint replacement surgeries and more.
Chronic and Complex Back Pain
We understand how impactful back pain can be on your life, particularly when it sticks around or seems to consistently reoccur. We take a holistic approach, guided by evidence to ensure we uncover the reasons your back pain hasn't gone away. We use thorough education and practical strategies to alleviate the fear of back pain and help you return to being the everyday athlete you are.
Running-Related Injuries
Running injuries are a particular interest of ours at Everyday Athlete Physiotherapy. We love helping runners achieve their goals, whether you are a seasoned runner, training for your first running event, or are just trying to stay healthy. We will do all we can to ensure you can keep running while you recover from your injury, and that you leave with a greater understanding of the strategies you can use to prevent future running injuries, because runners love to run.
Examples of running injuries we treat include Patellofemoral pain, shin splints, lower limb tendinopathies, foot pain, calf strains, bone stress injuries and more.
Enhancing Performance
We love seeing everyday athletes who want to improve their ability to do what’s important to them, even in the absence of an injury. We are experts at designing strengthening programs to help you reach your potential in your chosen sport/activity, or to help you keep doing what you love, with confidence that your body will cope.
