Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine

Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine is a renowned physiotherapy and sports medicine clinic located in Lambton, Newcastle. Established in 2001, they have become one of the leading practises in the area, providing exceptional care and treatment for their patients. With a strong commitment to ongoing staff training, their team of 5 experienced physiotherapists and a remedial massage therapist, who collectively have over 40 years of experience, are dedicated to delivering hands-on treatment to reduce pain, improve mobility, and guide patients through their rehabilitation journey to achieve their physical goals and prevent future injuries.

The clinic boasts 9 treatment rooms, 2 consulting rooms, and a fully equipped gymnasium to aid in the rehabilitation process. Patients also have the option to join group classes such as pilates and GLA:D, which are designed to improve strength, flexibility, and overall fitness.

One of the specialised services offered at Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine is dry needling. This modality, performed by trained physiotherapists, has been found to successfully relieve trigger points and reduce pain. It is important to note that dry needling is different from acupuncture, as it focuses on musculoskeletal conditions rather than traditional Chinese medicine principles.

For individuals experiencing jaw pain or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues, Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine offers specialised physiotherapy to resolve pain, restore jaw movement, and reduce clicking. Through tailored treatment plans, patients can regain the ability to eat without discomfort and yawn without fear. Additionally, the clinic can help reduce clenching and bruxism, protecting the patient's teeth.

Patients suffering from headaches or migraines can benefit from the expertise of Will, a Watson Headache Certified Practitioner at Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine. Will can effectively assess if the headache or migraine is related to cervical spine (neck) issues and provide targeted treatment to alleviate symptoms. This approach aims to reduce reliance on medication and improve overall quality of life.

Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine also offers the GLA:D (Good Life with osteoArthritis Denmark) programme, specifically designed for individuals living with hip and/or knee arthritis. This exercise class/programme has been proven to reduce pain, decrease medication use, increase walking speed, and enhance quality of life. It provides a supportive environment where patients can improve their physical well-being and manage the challenges of arthritis.

Pilates is another service provided by Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine. Utilised as a non-impact exercise by their physiotherapists, pilates can offer relief and increased range of motion for individuals suffering from various conditions and injuries. The clinic's approach emphasises gentle, controlled yet challenging exercises to build confidence, strength, and flexibility.

For those seeking massage therapy, Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine offers the expertise of Nikki, whose experienced hands can improve circulation, ease aches and pains, and promote overall well-being. Massage has been utilised for centuries as a natural method to enhance physical health and relaxation.

Within the realm of soft tissue therapy, Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine provides treatments for fascial, connective tissue, muscle, tendon, fat, and organ injuries. Their therapists target these structures beneath the skin to alleviate pain and restore proper function.

Joint mobilisation is a technique employed by the clinic to address dysfunctional joints caused by trauma, overuse, or disuse. Through specific manual therapy techniques, the therapists aim to restore the natural movements and functionality of the affected joints.

Manipulative therapy, characterised by high-velocity, low-amplitude force applied to the joint, is another modality offered at Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine. This technique can often result in an audible crack or pop and is used to address joint dysfunction and improve mobility.

Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine also specialises in the management of lower back pain, which is the most commonly experienced form of musculoskeletal pain and disability. With the understanding that multiple structures in the back can contribute to pain and limitations, their physiotherapists conduct thorough assessments to provide individualised management plans for each patient.

Strengthening exercises are a key component of rehabilitation and are not only for athletes. Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine recognises the importance of these exercises and can incorporate them into personalised treatment plans to improve overall strength and function.

With their experienced team, state-of-the-art facilities, and comprehensive range of services, Lambton Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine is dedicated to delivering exceptional care to their patients and helping them achieve their physical goals.
