Best Physiotherapists in Tynemouth
From a Swiss-trained physio by the Metro station to specialist sports clinics and home-visit rehabilitation, here are the best physiotherapists in Tynemouth and North Tyneside.
Living on the coast means an active lifestyle -- surfing at Longsands, running along the seafront, or simply walking the dog on the beach. But active lifestyles bring injuries, and when they happen you want a good physiotherapist nearby. Tynemouth and North Tyneside have a solid selection of clinics, from specialist sports physio to home-visit rehabilitation services. Here is our guide to the best physiotherapists in the area.

Swissphysio is located at Station Terrace, right next to Tynemouth Metro Station, NE30 4RE. Established in 2003, the clinic is run by Angela Petrocchi, a Swiss-trained physiotherapist with over twenty years of experience.

The range of services is unusually broad: sports physiotherapy, osteopathy, acupuncture, massage, children's physiotherapy, neurological conditions including stroke and MS, lymphoedema management, pain management, and even treatment for musicians' injuries. If you have a condition that does not fit neatly into the standard sports-injury box, Swissphysio is well worth a call. Contact them on 0191 296 0567.
