Advanced Physio is the trusted physiotherapy clinic for many of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie's sporting clubs.
Soccer, Football, Running and Kicking Sports
We currently are preferred physiotherapists with the Newcastle Jets Youth Team. The practice principal was Physiotherapist for representative and club netball for 5 years. Physiotherapists, Lauren Gradwell and Rebecca Roe both played representative netball as juniors. Physiotherapist Peter Lee has worked with the New Zealand National Hockey team.
Throwing and Racquet Sports
Throwing a ball in sports such as netball, water polo, baseball, and softball places significant stress on the shoulder. Hitting a tennis ball has a similar effect on the joint. Rehabilitation and prevention of throwing injuries is highly specialised and requires a detailed knowledge of shoulder biomechanics and throwing techniques. Lauren Gradwell has represented Australia at softball and is a consultant at the Hunter Academy of Sport and has excellent understanding of the demands placed on a throwing athlete. James Stockley is our shoulder guru and has a sporting background with cricket and golf. Peter Lee has worked on the NZ professional circuit from 2006 as the sole physiotheraist.
Gym, Strength Training, Weightloss and General Fitness Programs
Advanced Physio provide a professionally designed gym program to ensure that you get maximum gain for the effort put in. We have physiotherapists who are gurus in gym program design. Pierre Buchholz has accreditations in strength and conditioning in Canada. Robert Dingle is an Exercise Physiologist and worked as a personal trainer for several years before starting his physiotherapy career.
