Is it getting in the way of relationships? Is it limiting your ability to relax?

I visited Tom for a running injury. He was very friendly, informative and showed a genuine care to help solve and fix the issue. Recommend for fellow runners!

So far so good one visit and pain is easing with diagnosis and exercise that help target my recovery, Danial was great and has reached out with support whenever I need it. Best decision I’ve made in regards to getting my body back and pain free. Couldn’t be happier so Thankyou to Brightside.

I partially tore my syndesmosis, and was told by another practitioner that the only way I could recover is if I was operated on. Kristen at Brightside assured me that the injury would not need an operation, and that with exercise and time it would heal. This was really stressful initially, and Kristen was completely supportive of me consulting multiple opinions and making my own decision.

I decided to go with Kristen and heal through Physio. My injury healed perfectly, and Kristen helped me regain strength and confidence. This was particularly challenging as I gained a lot of weight and lost confidence and strength from the injury. I hate to imagine where I would be had I gone a different route. It is no exaggeration to say Kristen’s work helping me heal has been positively life changing.

I can’t recommend Kristen/Brightside Physio enough. The rest of the admin and team at Brightside are also lovely and supportive.

Genuinely the best physio I have ever visited...and unfortunately I've been a lot! Took time to listen and understand what the underlying issue was and now they've got me to the point where they've taught me to self manage my issues and get myself out of trouble. Great team, great knowledge and great skill.

What a heart-warming experience at Brightside physio when Bec picked up my phone call, worked out some magic and managed to fit me in on the same day to see Kristen.
I was incredibly grateful to be hosted with such care and attention, when I was feeling vulnerable and desperate for urgent physiotherapy treatment. Thank you Bec for being awesome. You're exceptional at your job, a kind and warm human being.
Thank you Kristen for your kind and compassionate communication style. Your listening skills, competence and liveliness were greatly appreciated. You provided some significant relief, calmness and positive energy throughout my consultation with you. Merci!

The reviews don’t lie Ben is the best physio I have ever seen not only in his knowledge but also his personality, he interpreted my pain that I was describing perfectly, didn’t use jargon that was hard to understand, and most of all made me feel really comfortable as a 20 year old girl with pain around my glutes to be consulted and worked on by a male doctor which says a lot. I can’t praise Ben any more highly

7 weeks ago I had a fall. I was able to get into Brightside very quickly to be assessed. Over the following weeks Tom has worked with me to literally get me back on my feet. He has listened to me and answered any questions I've had and helped me regain mobility.
Every team member I have met have been friendly and very helpful.

For too many years I’d been sceptical about the benefits of physiotherapy as I hadn’t enjoyed working with one in the past. Brightside gathered enough info prior to the first appointment and even asked what my expectations. Then, they delivered!

Kristen is a magician!! She’s very knowledgeable and very good at what she does. Totally recommend Brightside Physio and Kristen.

Ben and the team have been brilliant and have helped my recovery without prolonging treatment beyond what would be needed. Would highly recommend Brightside Physio. Thank you for making my recovery a positive experience.

I have been so pleased with the treatment that Kristen at Brightside Physio has provided for my ballet-related ankle injury. She is compassionate, personable, professional and has a seemingly inexhaustible knowledge base. The injury that had seemed to just hang about for months prior to treatment responded so quickly to her regimen of exercises and manual manipulation techniques. She is also just a gem of a person. Highly recommend!

I have never experienced such a high level of communication and care from an allied health provider before! I had my first appointment at Brightside Physio in Lambton with James, and I honestly cannot say enough about his compassion, care and communication as well as his professionalism. So far his advice and assistance has been extremely helpful and I would have no hesitation in recommending Brightside Physio to anyone who is looking for excellent care.

Listened to me rather than tell me what I needed. I ended up pleased and happy - with exercises rather than medication, which was what I wanted. Delighted and will return.

Tom at Brightside was so helpful, thorough and knowledgeable at my first appointment. The process was not rushed at all and I could see the genuine care he has for his clients and the trust he has in the profession. The exercises Tom gave me are working a treat!

Brightside Physio has absolutely wonderful, caring and support physiotherapists who take the time to provide the best care and treatment for every client. Each physiotherapist explains in detail what therapy they are providing and answers questions in easy to understand terms. I have being visiting Ben since he decided to return to Newcastle to live (and work) from the Big Smoke aka Sydney. Each visit results in pain relief and the ability to move as gracefully as possible.

Kristen or James will stand in if Ben is not available. Brightside staff are a great team who work as a team for the benefit of each and every client. Definitely will continue to be utilising this AMAZING business.

Keep up the great work Brightside Physio 🙏🏻

Kristen you are a super star. After seeing a lot of different people for my gut issues, it was suggested I go see a physio. I thought this was a long shot , but what the heck give it a go, what can I lose. Well Kristen has helped me very quickly and has excellent advise. Thank you so much, I am really grateful.

Ben is very thorough, attentive and uses a whole-person health approach. Taking the time to ask questions, in order to understand how I am being impacted by a physical concern, what is important to me in relation to movement, and what is necessary to move forward. Highly recommended.

Highly effective, both during appointment but also with beneficial activities for me to undertake myself.

James is amazing & so approachable! I can ask him any question, and he takes the time to answer in detail! He did a full pre assessment & is helping get me ready for a much needed knee replacement! He demonstrates the exercises & makes sure I’m doing them properly so they are easy to do at home! He easily swaps out exercises to ensure I’ll follow them at home!

It was my first visit for physiotherapy in many years and I must say James was excellent.

Kristen at Brightside Physio has a professional yet friendly manner. Her diagnosis and exercise regime proved very successful for my damaged shoulder. Thankyou Kristen

Honestly, there’s no other Physio that has spent the time understanding the cause of the issue, before launching into treatment - like Ben. The rapport and trust built during that first appointment, is beyond comparison with any previous experience I have had over the years. 100% highly recommended!

Met with James to fit a moon boot after breaking my ankle.
James is knowledgeable and thorough, answered every question I had with transparency and compassion, and followed up the next morning. Glowing endorsement.

James was extremely thorough during my initial consultation. His treatment of my sore bits was well targeted. I came away secure in the knowledge that he will make a big difference to my mobility.

I can highly recommend this physiotherapist! From the moment I was greeted by Bec at the front desk with her friendly smile, I felt comfortable. I have reinjured an old shoulder injury. Fortunately I have been under the care of James Youngberry, he has been wonderful. He’s very thorough, well informed & incredibly helpful. I’m so impressed with his knowledge, ability to explain things & encourage me. Thanks James, you’re an asset to Brightside.

OMG the one get your body fixed stop!

Ben is the most wholistic physiotherapist I’ve seen in YEARS! He has helped me with a stiff back that I’ve been trying to fix with other physics for years AND after a recent ankle re-injury, got me back walking in speedy Gonzales time!

Combine Ben’s physio with regular maintenance massage with incredible Emma (who also works with the Knights and Jets), and your body is a well oiled working machine!

The teamwork of this organisation, their care for overall well-being is second to none!

Do yourself a favour, and book in!

Actually, no. Don’t. Because I want to be selfish and have them all to myself! 😀

I've only seen Ben once for trouble with my knee and hip but the exercises he gave me are working alright. Ben is so easy to talk to &listens to everything you have to say. I highly recommend him

3 years ago

The reason I went there first was that Ben was the son of a long time family friend!
BUT
The reason I will keep going is that he is friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, skilful & engaged with my own issue (even to the point of addressing another physical limitation I had in order to help me better work on recovery for the current injury!)
They let you know “We are working on this together”.
I will be back.
Thanks Ben

I suffer chronic pain from a sporting injury and have had two major surgeries. No other physio has been able to really help me with the recovery except Ben. He thinks outside the box with rehab and is always encouraging me to keep up my strength training. I highly recommend Ben!

I have been unable to go for walks (even 15 mins) without immense lower back pain. I have been seeing Ben for a few weeks now and I've started walking pain-free for the first time in a long time. Super grateful for his expertise, care and help. Highly recommend.

Also, if you're in need of a really good remedial massage, definitely see Emma. I learnt that you don't have to be in immense pain during remedial massage to get the benefits and my leg swelling/pain is almost gone!

I contacted Ben at Brightside on Monday morning regarding experiencing pain in my right shoulder. I attended the practice at midday and Ben went to work sorting out the cause of the problem. After an hours consultation and treatment I felt confident that I had made the right decision. On Tuesday, I was certain as the shoulder pain had lessened considerably, and now on Wednesday my pain has almost gone. I know that with follow up treatments and advise from Ben, that the problem will not return.
My sincere thanks to Ben and his staff.
