About the Business
Newcastle Physiotherapy was founded by Darren Wigg in January 2011. Darren is a former international swimmer, representing Great Britain at the World and European Championships on numerous occasions. After retiring from sport Darren studied Physiotherapy at Northumbria University and graduated in 2005 with a first class honors degree.
After initially developing his skills working in the NHS and then private practice, Darren took on the challenge of founding his own business, Newcastle Physiotherapy and the business has gone from strength to strength. We opened our Great Park clinic in Gosforth in 2011 which has been hugely successful, so much so that we out grew our 3 treatment rooms by 2014, so opened our Regent Centre Clinic in Smart Fitness, Gosforth .
Our clinics are brand new buildings, providing purpose built, contemporary treatment facilities and highly trained, professional staff, offering variety of services from acupuncture and physiotherapy to sports massage and one to one nutrition consultations. Our Regent Centre Clinic boasts a fully equipped strength and conditioning gym and rehabilitation area to enable our physiotherapists to get you back to your absolute best.
At Newcastle Physiotherapy, we understand, from first-hand experience, the importance of attention to detail when helping people to recover from injury and rehabilitating them back to world class sport. Our vision is that any client, receiving any service from Newcastle Physiotherapy will enjoy the same care, expertise and attention to detail usually reserved for world class, professional athletes.

Acupuncture is one of the many skills used within physiotherapy as an integrated approach to the management of pain, inflammation and as a means of enhancing the body’s own healing chemicals in order to aid recovery and enhance rehabilitation. Acupuncture within physiotherapy is used within the background of clinical and research evidence.
The concept of traditional chinese medicine is an ancient system of written scripts as far back as 1000bc, founded on the holistic concept of treatment and an acknowledgement of the body’s ability to return to its balanced state of health, given the correct stimulus to do so. The body has the ability to self-repair; the use of acupuncture or acupressure enhances the repair mechanism and enables improved recovery times, allowing other physiotherapy treatments such as exercise, muscle strengthening and rehabilitation to achieve excellent results.
Acupuncture is used by physiotherapists as a means of enhancing pain modulation via the stimulation of the brain and spinal cord to produce natural pain relieving chemicals, such as endorphins; melatonin to promote sleep, serotonin to promote well-being, to name but a few. They assist the body’s healing process and offer pain relief as a precursor for other manual or exercise therapies.
