Patient Testimonials
They got me back into a painfree life!
I was having a lot of hip and leg pain which kept my awake far too often. My family physician recommended physio. So I contacted Newcastle Physiotherapy and Sports Rehab. They put in the able and magical hands of Rafeh Irfan. It took several months of hard work, but he had me back into painfree life. Thanks to Rafeh and all the great people at this clinic.

I'll definitely be back!
Recently went through a set of physio sessions here, and i was very satisfied. The problem with my knee was made much better with Rafeh’s help, and he gave me great guidance on how to help avoid recurrences in the future. I’ll definitely be back!

Sharon makes treatment sessions not only beneficial but enjoyable!
Sharon and her staff are fantastic. My wife and I have been seeing Sharon for over 15 years for a multitude of different issues. We find her professional knowledge, her ability to effectively diagnose and treat issues, and friendly and outgoing personality make treatment sessions not only beneficial but enjoyable.

The assessment was thorough, technical, knowledgeable and mindful.
I’ve never been able to recover well without the help from Rafeh. He is excellent at diagnosing my shoulder issues, asking questions and truly listening to what my discomfort and limitations are. His assessment was thorough, technical, knowledgeable and mindful. He was compassionate and also gave me a realistic timeline for recovery. I appreciate that he always brings positivity into my sessions and I can’t be more grateful for his help to get me back to where I used to be.
I’m also thankful for Tina being so great in communication and giving extra attention to details on my records. I feel like I’m being well cared for by the team.

Whenever I have suffered an injury I don’t hesitate to run to Sharon at Newcastle Physiotherapy. She has always brought me back to my norm. It’s a cooperative process and if you’re willing to put in the work she will treat and direct you along a path of healing. It’s a friendly and warm place where you’ll feel right at home.

I have gone to Sharon for two different issues over the last couple of years and on both occasions she juggled her schedule to see me right away. Her caring and professional manner is so appreciated and the treatments really gave me relief. Thank you to Sharon and staff!

Forever grateful I was able to find such a fantastic physiotherapist and would highly recommend.
Newcastle Physiotherapy & Sports Rehab is now my go to for physiotherapy services. Sharon has treated both my teenage sons, most recently my youngest (14) who broke his femur. Sharon is knowledgeable, sensitive, and informative… my son immediately felt at ease and I felt confident from the first appointment that she was quite simply a perfect match for his rehab journey. She took the time to go over the break and treatment options/exercises thoroughly at every appointment, and even gave suggestions on discussion points/questions to go over with the surgeon. Forever grateful I was able to find such a fantastic physiotherapist and would highly recommend.

What impressed me most was the fact they cared; they really did.
| I very rarely write commentary on services I receive; however, Newcastle Physiotherapy and Sports Rehab deserves my gratitude and acknowledgment. Incapacitated from my right lower back/butt pain that caused my sciatic to virtually cripple me with pain, and getting no understanding of cause and effect after six weeks of massage/chiropractic treatment. I worried I would not be able to get to an unrelated surgery date due to my incapacitation. Desperate, I limped into NPASR with no appointment and stated my distress to Tracey. They were very busy but Sharon Gibson overheard, left her client and told me on the spot what she thought the problem might be, said she would send me a series of exercises she thought might help me get by until I could get in after my surgery. I got home and there it was, a well-organized series of information and with step-by-step exercises. I did them that night and it was the first time in months I had been pain-free. I did them each day and made it to my surgery. ASAP after surgery I made an appointment and now, we are proceeding to resolve the cause. What impressed me most was the fact they cared; they really did. And equally important, Sharon Gibson nailed the cause within a few minutes of a brief conversation. For all of those reasons I knew I had finally found experienced, knowledgeable and caring professionals. Thank you! |

They care about my recovery!
“I have been fortunate over the past seventeen years to have been treated by physiotherapist, Sharon Gibson. My injuries often involved strained muscles from ski injuries. She has always been personable, professional, caring, knowledgeable and encouraging. In September 2020, I had surgery for a bi lateral hip replacement. As a result of the surgery, a nerve in my leg was compromised. I could only walk while using a leg brace and a walker. I had a lot of work to do to be able to walk independently again! In December 2020, I was approved by the surgeon to begin physiotherapy and I immediately contacted Sharon. She quickly set up a plan with goals for working on regaining muscle/nerve control in my leg. With the support of her professional skills and prescribed daily exercise program, I can now stand and walk around the house without assistance. While walking outside, I continue to need to use a walker. With the support of Sharon’s skills, I will continue to work towards walking independently. Sharon and her staff are very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly while supporting those attending her clinic. I have recommended to some friends to attend her clinic when they had injuries. They have all been very happy with their results.”

I am finally able to do normal activities pain-free!
“Treatment has been extremely rewarding! I have used a combination of spinal traction and shockwave to treat my herniated disc and sciatica. I feel I am finally getting back to normal activities such as golf. I would recommend anyone and everyone experiencing any pain related issue to contact Sharon and Heather. Both genuinely care about their patients and work to help get them back to a painfree lifestyle. Before moving to Newcastle, I was at other physio locations and the quality and service paled in comparison to what I have experienced at NPSR. I cannot recommend them any higher!”

You are in good hands here!
“Sharon was amazing. After 10+ yrs of suffering she was able to ease the pain and other symptoms so dramatically that I am now able to lead a more productive life. I was also pleased at how friendly and funny both her and Tracy are which is quite a change from dealing with stuffy old Drs. I hope I never have to see them again but when and if I do I know I’ll be in good hands. Thank you so much.”
