We are often asked what makes Newcastle Sports Injury Clinic different, and how we achieve such effective results for our clients.
It all starts with our wonderful teams of specialists and the way they work together. We believe the key to successful injury rehabilitation and prevention is offering a suite of complementary services that can meet patients’ needs precisely, no matter what injury or pain they are suffering from.
Over the following months, we are going to profile the people that make our range of services tick, and who work in harmony to ensure people recover from their injuries as quickly as possible, starting this month with our experienced physiotherapists.
Physiotherapists in Newcastle, Jesmond and Alnwick
The physiotherapy team is our largest department and is at the heart of a lot of the work we do with patients. All our physiotherapists are fully-qualified and specialise in treating musculoskeletal conditions (ie muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, nerves and joints.)
Our physiotherapy service is of the highest quality available, and we can offer it physiotherapy services across all three of our offices, in Newcastle city centre, Jesmond and Alnwick.
The importance of experienced physiotherapists
We have 10 physiotherapists at Newcastle Sports Injury Clinic who collectively have many decades of experience of treating and preventing injuries. This experience – and their qualifications – are important as it guarantees you’ll receive the highest possible level of care.
Remember: we apply the same principals when we treat non-sporting members of the public to when we are treating elite athletes.
