Pro Health Physio NE Newcastle

Pro Health Physio NE – Newcastle

About

Pro Health Physio NE is an independent physiotherapy clinic located in Newcastle, founded by Darren and SJ in November 2020 during the challenging period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite launching just before another national lockdown, the clinic quickly became known for its commitment to quality care, resilience, and community support.

The foundation of Pro Health Physio was built on a long-standing professional relationship between Darren and SJ that began in 2008. Darren, then a physiotherapy student, approached SJ—who was working with Blaydon Rugby Club—for shadowing and mentoring. Over two seasons, SJ introduced Darren to hands-on skills and clinical reasoning for managing both athletic and non-athletic clients. Their paths diverged as SJ joined Newcastle Falcons as First Team Physio, while Darren honed his clinical skills within the NHS, Connect Health, private practice, and through work with Great Britain Basketball.

Years later, their mutual interests in anatomy, movement, and rehabilitation brought them back together. Their cultural diversity—SJ from Hong Kong and Darren from Ireland—adds richness to their shared vision. Both men also share personal stories of loss, having lost their fathers at a young age, which fuelled their commitment to helping others heal and grow through adversity.

Today, Pro Health Physio NE is proud to deliver empathetic, expert physiotherapy care to the people of the North East. The clinic is known for its holistic approach, growth-focused mindset, and the ability to meet patients where they are—physically and emotionally.
