About Jake Stewart
Hey, I’m Jake. I am a Physiotherapist who makes it a priority to always listen attentively to my clients. Understanding their needs and concerns is the foundation of providing effective and personalised treatment.
I love spending time with my family, going to the gym and enjoying a big cup of coffee.
I grew up in Port Macquarie and then moved to Newcastle to study Physiotherapy. It is here that I met my lovely wife, Casey. We welcomed our beautiful daughter Zoe into the world in 2023. We are currently in the process of building our first home in Newcastle.
