—— NEWCASTLE’S REHABILITATION CLINIC
You’re built to move.
We help you get back to it…
and stay there.
FORMA is for people who want to understand their body - not just manage it.
We combine chiropractic, osteopathy and advanced rehabilitation to find what’s actually driving your problem - then build you a body that performs, not just copes
OUR APPROACH ——
Not just another clinic.
At Forma Health & Rehabilitation, we bridge the gap between clinical expertise and functional movement. Our team of chiropractors, osteopaths, and massage therapists work together to create personalised treatment plans that address the root cause of your pain - not just the symptoms.
We believe in treating the whole person. That means looking beyond where it hurts to understand how your body moves, how you live, and what you need to thrive.

What to expect when you walk in.
No surprises. No pressure. Just a thorough assessment and a clear explanation of what's going on.
01
We listen first
Your history, your goals, what you've already tried. We take 60 minutes for initial consults because shortcuts don't work.
02
We assess properly
Functional movement testing, not just poking the sore spot. We look at how your whole body moves, stabilises, and breathes.
03
We explain clearly
You'll leave knowing what's happening, why, and what the plan is. No jargon. No vague timelines. Just clarity
04
We start treatment
Hands-on care begins on day one. You won't leave without having some rehabilitation to work on things yourself from home.
