Be ok with working out and about in the community with children, but also in the clinic.

Not sure if the grass will be greener?

At Kids Physio Newcastle we are small enough to be a caring, supportive team and big enough to have the skills and knowledge to share with each other. We welcome you to have a chat with us if you have specific questions. My name is Marney. I am the founder and you can email me directly at ******@kidsphysionewcastle.com.au if you want to ask me questions about the green grass we have!
