Matthew Sharpe
Owner & Senior Physio
Hi, I'm Matt! I have been practising as a physio in the Newcastle area as well as in the UK for over 16 years and in 2016 opened my own clinic; Sharpe's Physio. I am simply about offering friendly, professional and effective treatment.
I take pride in patient care, listening to you and getting to know all the in and outs of your pain and problems. Once we have diagnosed your injury, I will help you to understand what is going on so you can self-manage your injury. I believe this is key to your pro-longed recovery, so that you can be pain free for good!
In his spare time Matt loves to relax with his wife and children.
