Personalised care, joyful movement, and finding new ways forward.
Our Philosophy of Care
We believe everyone deserves access to a safe, welcoming, and yes — fun — space where they can move their body in a way they enjoy. Movement isn’t just about exercise; it’s about living life fully, connecting with ourselves, and finding joy in what our bodies can do.
At Newcastle Aquatic Physiotherapy, Jesmond, our approach is simple: we think outside the box. No two clients are the same, so no two experiences should be either. We tailor every session to each person’s needs, goals, and abilities — Newcastle Aquatic Physiotherapy is all about making complex care feel personal and achievable.
Clients can expect us to take a real interest in what they want to achieve, and to make their time here enjoyable. We care about outcomes, yes — helping people move freely, safely, and with confidence — but we also care about the journey. Fun, laughter, curiosity, and experimentation are part of how we get there.
At the end of the day, our goal is for clients to leave feeling stronger, more confident and capable, and genuinely enjoying movement — movement that fits their life, their body, and their goals.
Why do we do what we do? Every person who walks through our doors has a unique story — their goals, their challenges, their wins. We’re not just here to treat symptoms — we’re here to help you feel heard, supported and stronger than you were yesterday. Your wellbeing is why we show up each day
Our Core Values
-
Care - We show up with heart.
-
We follow through on our word, we listen deeply, and we treat people with kindness and generosity. Whether it's a client or a teammate, we choose care — in our actions, in our words, and in how we hold space for each other.
-
-
Openness - We stay curious and humble.
-
We know that no-one has all the answers (including us). So we ask questions, we listen to understand, and we keep looking at things from different angles. That’s how we grow — together.
-
-
Connection - We’ve got each other’s backs.
-
We’re a team, not just in name but in action. We lean on each other, help each other out, and create space where it’s safe to be real — even when things are messy or hard.
-
-
Creativity - We think outside the box (because most people don’t fit in one)
-
We value fresh ideas, flexible thinking, and the courage to try something new. We experiment, we explore, and we’re not afraid to do things differently if it helps someone move forward.
