About us

JL PhysioFit

Here at JL PhysioFit we provide an expert physiotherapy service that is focused on establishing the root cause of your problem, not simply treating ‘where it hurts’.

Based in the heart of Ponteland, just outside Newcastle, we work alongside our patients to understand their needs, whilst guiding them through a comprehensive and thorough assessment.

Identifying and understanding the factors that feed into the problem enables us to construct a specific treatment plan that works for you. Information will be given to you in a clear and easy to understand manner.

We encourage our clients to take an active role in their recovery so that the benefits of physio last long after the problem is resolved. As part of this, it is important that they understand what treatment methods we can use in order to best help their problem. A list of common conditions and treatments can be found on our home page.

Disabled access

The clinic has full disabled access including a stairlift, widened corridors and a disabled toilet. Please let us know prior to your appointment if you need any further help and we will gladly assist.

  Michael helped me with leg pain leading up to my first half marathon. I ended up running the whole distance with no pain and was able to enjoy the experience by taking his advice and getting treatment the week before the big run. Would recommend to anyone.

  Started treatment in September 2022 after hospital appointments with consultant and scans on my left knee.

I booked to see Michael as I was having major pain/grinding noise and unable to do exercise or even walk up/down the stairs properly.

He assessed my mobility and strength and developed a tailored, gradual rehab program that has helped me to build strength and confidence in my knee as well as helping me slowly get back into exercising. It's made a vast difference working with Michael as I'm not an easy person to work with and always push myself too far. All my exercises were shared via email and accessible via an app.

Now I'm exercising 5 times a week, spinning, strength, cardio, HIIT, rowing and running (I can finally use my home gym).

Thank you for your patience and understanding my needs.

Would highly recommend Michael and JL PhysioFit.

  I am really enjoying beginners Pilates and feel like I have made good progress. The trainers are very good and it is a positive low-key atmosphere and everyone is friendly and welcoming.

  Good team that listen to what clients have to say before doing each Pilates class, so if you have a niggle they work with it.   Exercises are testing but doable, even if at the time you are not sure about it, and if you can't then they come up with a variation for you to do.   Friendly classes and staff.
