Newcastle Aquatic

Newcastle Aquatic Physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and rehabilitation. Offering a wide range of programs to meet your every Acupuncture is also available on request.

Newcastle Aquatic Physiotherapy provides physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to a wide range of clients including post surgery orthopaedics (joint replacement), back injuries, stroke, MS, muscular dystrophy, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, chronic pain management and rehabilitation. We welcome all patients: private, workers compensation, third party, Medicare (EPC) and Department of Veteran’s Affairs. Newcastle Aquatic Physiotherapy is registered with Fitness Australia and recognised by many health funds as a fitness facility. Physiotherapy is a Health Care Profession concerned with human function and movement. Every year we help hundreds of people manage the effects of illness, accidents, disability and the stresses and strains of everyday life. Physiotherapists use a combination of manual, electro and exercise therapy in an effort to alleviate the pain and restriction of an individual’s particular condition. Common problems that can benefit from physiotherapy are:
• joint replacements and reconstructions
• stroke and neurological disorders
• multitrauma and brain injuries
• back and neck pain
• fractures
• muscle tears and ligament sprains
• balance and mobility problems
• osteo and rheumatoid arthritis
• joint and disc injuries
• musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction
• sports injuries



Our treatment rooms are separate to our gym and hydrotherapy areas for your privacy and convenience. Your physiotherapist will assess your needs after taking a history of your problem and running you through an individual assessment. He/she will then prescribe the appropriate treatment protocol for you to achieve the best possible outcome or recovery time. Private patients can self refer to our Practice for therapy or you can be referred by your GP. Workers Compensation, Third Party and Department of Veteran’s Affairs patients will require a Doctor’s referral.

There’s something really beautiful about a team who never stop learning.
Last week we rolled out the tape and got hands-on with some new kinesiology strapping techniques. Trialling, tweaking, asking questions. Seeing what actually works — not just what looks fancy on Instagram 😉
We explored ways to: ✔️ Support swollen areas and help with oedema
✔️ Settle pain
✔️ Off-load irritated tissues
✔️ Add a bit of gentle stability where it’s needed
Because strapping isn’t about sticking tape on and hoping for the best. It’s about understanding the why behind it. The body in front of us. The goal we’re working toward.
And sometimes it’s about standing around after hours with strips of tape everywhere and a lot of laughs in between.
We take this stuff seriously. But we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Always learning. Always refining. Always looking for ways to help you move a little easier.
If you’ve ever wondered whether taping might help your pain or swelling, have a chat to us next time you’re in. We’re happy to talk it through 💛

Surgery is only part of the recovery process — what you do before and after matters just as much.
✅ Pre-surgery strength = better recovery
✅ Post-surgery rehab = better outcomes
✅ Individualised exercise = better confidence in your body
If you’re preparing for surgery or struggling after one, I can help.
📞 Book your complimentary 15-minute discovery call or schedule your initial consultation today.
Your recovery deserves a plan.
✅ Top 3 Things to Prepare for Before Surgery
Build Strength Around the Affected Area
Improving muscle strength before surgery (prehabilitation) helps protect the joint, improves surgical outcomes, and can speed up recovery.
Optimise Mobility and Movement Quality
Maintain or improve your range of motion and movement control. Going into surgery with better mobility often means regaining function more easily afterward.
Improve Overall Fitness and Health Habits
Focus on general conditioning, sleep, nutrition, and managing chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular health). A healthier body copes better with surgical stress.
✅ Top 3 Things to Focus on After Surgery
Restore Safe, Gradual Movement
Early, guided movement (when cleared by your surgeon) helps reduce stiffness, improve circulation, and prevent unnecessary complications.
Rebuild Strength Progressively
Follow a structured, staged strengthening plan. Recovery isn’t about rushing — it’s about steady progression.
Regain Confidence and Function
Rehabilitation isn’t just physical. Confidence in the surgical area is critical for returning to daily activities, work, and exercise without fear or hesitation.

🤷‍♀️Curious about prehab and rehab but not sure where to start?🤷‍♀️

Coordination gets harder as we get older…
not because we can’t do it,
but because we stop putting ourselves in situations
where we have to try something new.
This?
This is strength and balance.
And brain training.
And laughter.
If this feels tricky watching it — try it yourself.
And if it’s hard? Even better.
That’s your brain learning again. 💙

Strength & Balance classes
Physio-led. Fun-filled. Very human.

At Newcastle Aquatic Physiotherapy we translate NDIS goals into measurable, meaningful progress. Our evidence-based aquatic pathway starts with a thorough assessment, followed by a tailored treatment plan, regular progress measures and clear reporting for participants and funders. We focus on outcomes you can see and feel — greater independence, reduced pain and more enjoyable, confident movement.

As Welcome Here Project members, we prioritise accessibility and inclusion in every session. Our clinic in Jesmond has supported many NDIS participants with documented goal-focused plans and progress summaries that make funding reviews straightforward.

If you’d like to learn how aquatic therapy could support your NDIS plan, give us a call on 0249550143 or comment below — we’re happy to answer questions and share examples of measurable outcomes. 💧📋

At Newcastle Aquatic Physiotherapy we use targeted hydrotherapy techniques to speed up recovery and reduce pain — all delivered in our hydrotherapy pool in Jesmond. Buoyancy reduces joint load so post‑surgical stiffness eases sooner. Water resistance builds safe strength and control, and warm water improves circulation to lessen chronic pain and stiffness. Our therapists tailor programs for NDIS, DVA, WC, CTP participants and general clients, combining hands‑on guidance with measurable goals and progress tracking. Curious which technique suits your recovery?

Who says fun is just for kids? 😄
Our Strength & Balance class is a 45-minute playground for adults—but with a physio-approved twist! We combine strength, balance, mobility, coordination, and games to help you keep moving well, stay strong, and laugh while you do it.
Movement isn’t just about muscles—it’s about confidence, connection, and keeping life fun. And let’s be honest… as we get older, we often do less of the things that make us smile. Why should kids have all the fun?
Come for the movement, stay for the laughs, and leave feeling stronger, steadier, and ready to take on life with a grin. 🏋️‍♀️🤸‍♂️🎲
📅 Classes: Tuesdays at 5, and Fridays at 11am

❤️ Red Feb Month ❤️

Did you know that February is Red Feb — a month where people are encouraged to wear red to support those affected by heart disease, promote healthy living, and help fund vital research?

Red Feb is run by Heart Research Australia, raising awareness of heart disease and its impact on our community.

Here’s a sobering fact:
❤️ Heart disease is Australia’s leading single cause of death
❤️ 18,590 deaths were attributed to heart disease in 2017
❤️ One Australian dies from heart disease every 28 minutes

That’s why we thought this was a perfect cause for the team at NAP to shout out. And guess what one of the most important tools is for preventing and managing cardiac events?
👉 EXERCISE!

No matter your age, keeping your heart healthy is one of the most powerful things you can do. Improving your lifestyle — including your movement, fitness, and nutrition — can significantly reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. Even if you have multiple risk factors, positive changes still make a difference.

💪 How exercise helps your heart:
• Clears stress hormones
• Improves blood flow and oxygen delivery
• Keeps blood vessels flexible
• Reduces inflammation
• Helps manage blood sugar and cholesterol
• Supports better sleep
• Improves heart rhythm and recovery
• Trains your heart to handle pressure
• Improves nervous system balance

Getting started doesn’t have to be big or intimidating — small, consistent movement counts, and there are plenty of support options available if you’re not confident.

If you’d like to get involved in Red Feb, learn more about your heart, how to care for it, and the amazing research being done, check out the link below 👇

Osteoporosis is common in post-menopausal women, with bone loss often beginning during perimenopause, and it can have a big impact on confidence, independence, and quality of life.
Targeted, evidence-based exercise — combining strength, balance, and appropriate impact work — can help maintain bone density, improve stability, and reduce the risk of falls and fractures. It’s far more effective to act early and protect bone health than to react after significant loss has occurred.
If you have osteoporosis (or know someone who does), book a complimentary 15-minute discovery call to learn how Exercise Physiology can help you move with confidence.

🤷‍♀️Curious about bone health but not sure where to start?🤷‍♀️
Nathan has put together a simple, evidence-based handout: Top 5 Actions for Bone Health.
