Matt is keen and ready to help you, and always puts his best effort into each session. He is interested in a range of topics from sport to travel and world issues and still plays basketball socially.

We are delighted to welcome Caroline back to Fix It Physio after a few years off working in the community. Caroline brings a wealth of experience and skill to our team, having worked as a physio for over 20 years.

Caroline initially trained in London and began her career in various teaching hospitals, gaining exposure to a lot of great mentors and training programs across a wide range of physio settings. She then progressed into private practice in England, becoming the clinical lead in a high performance centre and upskilling in Pilates, Strength and Conditioning, Biomechanical Assessments and Functional Movement Patterns.

Caroline moved to Newcastle in 2014 and has built a great reputation around town during this time for her proficiency in relieving painful conditions quickly, as well as working on a plan to reach full recovery hence preventing pains from flaring up in the future. Since moving to Australia, she has also trained further in McKenzie Diagnosis and Treatment (A method of helping back and neck pain) and Headache management.

With all her experience, Caroline is great at treating all conditions! Her favourite things to work on are shoulders, neck and back pains and sports injuries and she loves holistic treatment - looking at the full cause of a problem and the full solution which may go beyond just physio treatment and symptom management.

Caroline has 2 young kids and spends most of her spare time running around after them around the beaches and parks of Newcastle! She enjoys staying active and fit herself and is a fan of Rugby Union and Cricket. She has a great passion for travelling and hiking around beautiful parts of the world.

Caroline loves the impact she can make on people's lives and we are now lucky to have her in Wallsend helping our local community.
