Fantastic experience: Awesome clinic and team, can’t recommend Sharpe’s enough
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Connor McRae for the care you gave my son Jake. He’s 15, and at first, he wasn’t sure about coming in, but you really put him at ease. You related to him in a way that made him open up, and your reassurance helped him see he did the right thing by getting his ankle looked by a qualified therapist. You also gave me a lot of peace of mind as his parent—your professional insight was so clear and thorough. I’m really grateful for how you handled everything. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to see Matt and the team at Sharpe's Physio many times over the years for different injuries, and they’ve always been brilliant. The team knows their stuff, they take the time to explain what’s going on, how to fix it, and how to stop it coming back. I also go in for regular tune-ups, which makes such a difference in keeping my body in top shape. They’re professional, friendly, and genuinely care about helping you get back to your best. Couldn’t recommend them enough, Thanks, guys!
We love seeing you here at Sharpe's George. Thanks for the great review, always lovely getting such positive feedback. The team take pride in helping all our patients get back to their best. Look forward to seeing you again.
Fantastic experience: Have taken my daughters to Sharpes physio for the past few years to manage all their soccer injuries. Kim has always been fantastic. Great communication and explanations of the issues. Always a thorough assessment and excellent instructions given about any at home exercises required. Highly recommend Kim at Sharpes, not only an awesome physio but a fabulous person. ☆☆☆☆☆
Thank you so much Melodie for loving Kim as much as we do at Sharpe's! Matt & I are so pleased you have had great outcomes and we really appreciate you taking the time to review us - Best, Jenna Sharpe
Fantastic experience: Mitchell was so friendly and helpful, went above and beyond. Would recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic physiotherapy
Thanks for the review Kurt, glad you were happy here at Sharpe's
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, and Hayden, my physio, picked up exactly what what was going on with my knee, which was actually a hip injury Can't recommend these guys enough. I've been going here for over 2 years now. I'm getting old and falling apart
Thanks for the review, so glad you've been well looked after for the past 2 years here at Sharpe's. Look forward to helping you out again.
Fantastic experience: The best physio team in Newcastle and have helped me with many sports injuries. Fantastic care, focus on performance, helpful referrals and great value accessing the rehab gym, strapping and massage. Cannot recommend enough for any and all physio needs, including kids and sport injuries.
Thanks for the review.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this place enough! I’d give 10 stars if I could. Kim worked wonders on my condition I have never felt this kind of relief in many years, a very comfortable environment with the utmost care provided. A special mention to Jess at reception as she went above and beyond to assist me. Thank you SP ❤️
Thanks for such a lovely review. We are so glad you felt relief and were so well looked after.
Fantastic experience: It was my first time getting physio today and I had Kim - she was fantastic. She made me feel so comfortable and had a great sense of what I needed. She also made the experience really easy as I’m experiencing a lot of hip pain, my mobility is limited. She also was super knowledgeable and knew a lot about my situation so it was nice to feel met by my physio instead of trying to explain things and not being understood. She simply just knew what she was doing.
We are so happy you feel comfortable here at Sharpe's Physio. Thank you for such an amazing review.
Fantastic experience: The service I received from the team at Sharpe's physio was excellent from my phone enquiry to my first consultation. I called up to enquire about a snowboarding injury too see if i should go to the hospital or if they could help. I was told to come straight in for a consultation and they would see what's going on and see if we needed to get imaging and go from there. The team is so friendly and professional and I look forward to continuing care.
Fantastic experience: Kim at Sharpe’s Physio is a wonder. I hobbled in with my sore hip and with a massage and some targeted stretching exercises I was dancing again in two short weeks. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: The service I received at Sharpes was outstanding. Their diagnosis of my Achilles’ tendon rupture was spot on, thanks to their knowledge and training. Daniel and Matt recognised the severity of the injury and acted immediately to have me booked into a surgeon the same day. I was operated on the next day and I now have the best chance of recovery because Sharpes acted so quickly and maintain networks with excellent surgeons. You don’t get this with every Physio! Thank you to Dan and Matt and all at Sharpes including the beautiful receptionist Julie who squeezed me into their busy schedule.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this friendly professional Physio practice. The team work with you to get you back on track. Easy parking and affordable prices.
Fantastic experience: Sharpie’s Physio is a friendly and professional physiotherapy. Every time I have been, Matt has been able to diagnose and treat my injuries quickly and efficiently. He gives detailed instruction on the steps to take to get back to 100%. He also loves to rip in with a massage. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great team at Sharpes! Definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Sharpes enough. Incredible, always fixes my issues.
Fantastic experience: Matt and the team are awesome. Know their stuff and get the results. No mucking you around, they sort you out rather than drag it on. I’ve seen them for almost every body part and always on point. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Sharpe's Physio enough for getting my breaking down body back up and running. Mat had me back and running parkruns from a total hip replacement and feeling better than ever.
Fantastic experience: Being a fulltime dancer comes with many aches and pains on the body. I have felt very lucky to always get the chance to see the team at Sharpe's Physio when I feel a pain coming on or an ongoing injury has occurred. It is always a great and fun experience with lovely receptionists and great physios. Could not recommend more.
Fantastic experience: Marty and the team or 2nd to none. Love coming through each month for a solid tune up . Everyone is super friendly and there’s just a real great atmosphere and vibe. I wish I was injured more frequently so I could spend more time here.
Fantastic experience: The staff at Sharpes Physio are always welcoming and friendly, wouldnt go any were else.
Fantastic experience: I have been treated here after a knee reconstruction and for minor niggles. I cannot recommend them enough. Matt and his team are a great bunch of people who provide a well run and maintained facility.
Fantastic experience: Over the past few years I have visited varying physio practices in Newcastle but upon going to Sharpe's I have been able to find long term solutions to ongoing health issues. The practice combines the comfortable nature and friendliness of a family practice with a great degree of professionalism, evident throughout sessions with their physios. Their facilities they have at their disposal such as their gym, allows for a multitude of approaches in their treatment, which contributes towards holistic solutions in injury management and prevention.

Fantastic experience: I have had great experience with Matt rehabbing my knee after replacement & I have received excellent treatment from different physios also.
Fantastic experience: Hands down best physio I've ever been to. Matt and his team give 110% every time. Very experienced and dedicated to providing complete solutions. Could not recommend more!
Fantastic experience: The best people and physios out there!!!!!! :)
Fantastic experience: I was injured when I needed to see a physio. Matt booked me in for the very next day to assess my injury and start treatment. I was followed up the following Thursday and so far all is going well. The team at Sharpes Physio are extremely professional and very friendly, Tiare on reception is so welcoming and accomodating, it’s no problem organising ongoing appointments. Would highly recommend this physiotherapy practice to anyone I know Fondest regards, Sarah
Fantastic experience: Best physio’s in Newcastle area. I refer all of my friends and members here. Great knowledge, even better service. Matt even brought me a pie once.
Fantastic experience: A wonderful team of expert physios. Have been seeing Matt and Bronte Shepherd for various issues and can not praise them enough. I have tried other physios over the years but none compare to the physios at Sharpes Physio for their knowledge and hands-on approach to overcoming your injuries. Highly Recommend.
Fantastic experience: We have been going to Sharps physio for our very active daughter for several years on and off - when required. Matt and his lovely staff have also fixed her up in a couple of sessions. They are so friendly and make her feel very comfortable. That is really important to us. it really feels like a family in there. Can not recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Great business, great team. 100% recommend to see if needed
Fantastic experience: These guys are the best in the business!! They have fixed my extremely broken husband a number of times and myself!!! Can’t recommend them enough!!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Sharpe's physio for years now and seen Matt previously before Sharpe's. Wouldn't go to any other physio, they are amazing! Well done Matt, Jen, Harry, Bronte, Lach and Jas. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Matt and Harry for the past year for the treatment of ongoing injuries. Their professionalism and dedication to helping me each week through support, discussion, massage and exercise programs has helped me immensely. I could not recommend the team at Sharpe’s physio highly enough. They go above and beyond to assist patients wherever they need in a timely and enthusiastic manner. I am very grateful for their continuous support in helping me maintain a pain free lifestyle. The Sharpes team has a world of knowledge and skills which has helped me in the treatment of my injuries.
Fantastic experience: I'm quite an accident prone individual which means a great physio is a must and that is exactly what I found in Matt at Sharpe's Physio! He has been my go to for 8 years now and I never hesitate when recommending him and his fantastic team
Fantastic experience: Best physio in Newcastle
Fantastic experience: The team at Sharpe's go above and beyond to make sure you're back to 100% as quickly as possible. They've done wonders for multiple injuries in the past and you always get a personable experience regardless of who you see. Will never go to another Physio ever again, keep it up guys.
Fantastic experience: Lachlan took the time and care to understand my pain, diagnosing the underlying cause of my symptoms rather than providing a 'bandaid fix' which allowed my full recovery. Progress each week provided a sense of achievement with realistic goal setting and checkins to ensure I was back to 100% well before I could have imagined. Professional, reliable and clinically astute, I could not recommend the team at Sharps highly enough!!
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend to anyone! Harrison is a top physio and has worked with me to help get back to full strength
Fantastic experience: Thank you to the amazing physio Lachlan. I am now able to reach behind my back, something I thought I would never be able to do again. I am an aged pensioner who thought my body was TOO OLD to fix, thank you, Lachlan for insisting that I was TOO YOUNG not to fix!
Thank you so much for your review Linda! So glad we could fix you!
Fantastic experience: Got me in straight away thankfully, very helpful and got my neck moving much better.
Thank you so much Jaime, so glad you are feeling better today!
Fantastic experience: On the road to recovery with a great team of physio’s! Always friendly, expert advice with the perfect amount of care. I couldn’t recommend Sharpe’s Physiotherapy highly enough 5 stars doesn’t do it justice, it’s a 10 from me.
