Donna Morris Physiotherapy Donna Morris BSc (Hons), MSc, CSP

Extended Scope Physiotherapy Practitioner Neurosurgery: Spine My name is Donna Morris and I’m a physiotherapist.

I specialise in the diagnosis and management of complex spine problems and also work as part of the complex spine neurosurgery service at the RVI in Newcastle upon Tyne. I completed my undergraduate physiotherapy training in 2004 and shortly after specialised in musculoskeletal clinical practice. An MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice (Manipulative Therapy) followed in 2011 and in 2019 I qualified as a Pilates instructor with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI). I have worked continually in the NHS and have experience of working with some of the region’s best (in my opinion) amateur rugby teams including the Northumberland representative county rugby teams. I come from a diverse sporting background including gymnastics, rowing, martial arts, running, CrossFit and climbing to name a few. These sports have given me an appreciation of the demands that we place on our bodies whether this be the stresses and strains of work or the demands of high-performance sport. I work with my clients to optimise their rehabilitation potential. Treatments can include ‘hands on’ approaches such as manual therapy, massage, taping and acupuncture or more active rehabilitation strategies such as exercise, advice and education. For more information, please contact me on 07831538820 or email donnamorrisphysiotherapy@outlook.com

🌟🌟 Did you know that I also teach Home Ed Children's Yoga? 🌟🌟

Children's yoga is creative and non-competitive and is an ideal activity to encourage exercise participation for children who are less confident about team sports or reluctant to take part in more traditional PE classes.
​Children use animated poses and basic stretching exercises to promote strength, flexibility, coordination and body awareness. Breathing and visualisation techniques teach children how to focus, relax and develop self-control.
All classes are taught by Clare, a highly qualified yoga teacher with 7 years experience of teaching yoga to home educated children.
Classes are £5.50 per family per session and can either be block booked or on a drop in basis.
A unique Zoom code is sent each week for safeguarding purposes so cut off for booking is 0900 on the day of class.

Congratulations to Helen Housby on 100 caps for the Vitality Roses! 🌹💯

First representing the Vitality Roses in 2014, Helen has so far competed in three Commonwealth Games and three Netball World Cups for England.

Sinking THAT gold medal-winning shot at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games catapulted Helen into sporting stardom as the team went on to win BBC Sports Team of the Year and BBC Greatest Sporting Moment of the Year in 2018.

The most recent Netball World Cup in Cape Town saw Helen claim an historic silver medal with the Roses, and both player of the tournament and 'best shooter'. The accolades continue, as Helen was appointed an MBE for services to netball in the 2024 New Year Honours. Huge congratulations, Helen! ⭐

What a fantastic result!

This year World Physiotherapy theme is focused on Inflammatory arthritis including Rheumatoid arthritis and Axial spondyloarthritis AxSpA)

What is Axial
Spondyloarthritis?
Axial SpA is an inflammatory disease of the spine and joints. It works silently, leaving people in increasing pain and exhaustion.

It’s surprisingly common. More people live with the condition than MS and Parkinson’s combined. And with symptoms starting in mid-teens to early 20s, it’s a condition that affects young people.

www.nass.co.uk
www.actonaxspa.com

It is essential that patients are diagnosed as soon as possible . At Newcastle hospitals we have been working closely with the National Axial spondyloarthritis society www.nass.co.uk to reduce the delay for patients .

Think SPINE when assessing patients with back pain

Symptoms starting slowly
Pain in the lower back
Improves with movement
Night time waking
Early onset - under 40

And if patients present with these symptoms, get them referred ASAP to Rheumatology.
