About of Sarah Newman

Sarah Newman is a physiotherapist based in Forster, NSW. You can find her practice at 21 The Lakes Way, Forster NSW 2428. She works with people who want to move better and feel more comfortable, whether the problem started after an injury or has built up over time.


In many cases, Sarah helps with day-to-day aches and pains, stiff joints, and trouble using a specific body part the way you need to. That might look like sore knees, tight shoulders, or pain that makes it harder to walk, lift, or get through a normal day. She also understands that pain can change how you move, so the goal is often to help you move more safely and with less stress on your body.


Sessions usually involve physical therapy exercises, which can be tailored to your movement and strength needs. Joint work is also part of her approach, including joint mobilization when it’s helpful. Depending on what’s going on, she may use heat and cold therapy to support how you’re feeling and how the area responds. Ultrasound therapy is another option she may use as part of a plan, especially when reducing discomfort and supporting recovery is the focus.


Sarah’s care is practical. At times, that means keeping things simple and focusing on what will make the biggest difference for your day-to-day life. Over time, many people find that small changes to how they move and how they build strength can help them feel more steady. If you’re unsure where to start, it can help to book an appointment and talk through what you’re dealing with and what you’re trying to get back to.
