Caitlin DeLore

Caitlin’s approach starts with one idea: no two bodies recover the same way. Every assessment and treatment plan is built around you — combining hands-on manual therapy with an exercise program designed for your specific goals, not a generic protocol. She has a particular interest in total knee replacement rehabilitation, patellofemoral (kneecap) pain, and hip conditions like bursitis and gluteal tendinopathy, where getting the hands-on treatment and the loading right makes all the difference to how well and how fast you recover.

Caitlin also has a passion for paediatric physiotherapy — particularly for kids with musculoskeletal or sports-related pain, an area she feels is under-served. Many paediatric physios work primarily within the NDIS and disability space, so children with growing pains, sports injuries, or other musculoskeletal issues can end up being referred on or missed altogether. With training in both paediatric and sports physiotherapy, Caitlin is well placed to fill that gap and is always happy to see paediatric clients.

Her experience runs deep. Four years at John Hunter Hospital gave her acute, hospital-level exposure to orthopaedic, neurological, and cardiorespiratory care — the kind of pressure-tested experience most private practitioners never get. During this time she also spent a year in hand therapy working alongside hand surgeons, and can fabricate custom thermoplastic splints, a skill that’s stayed a special interest ever since.

On the sporting side, Caitlin spent several years as Head Physiotherapist for the Newcastle Knights (Reserve Grade, U20s, and the Junior Knights Program) and has worked with local rugby clubs for over 10 years.

Caitlin holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy, a Postgraduate Certificate and Masters in Sports Physiotherapy, and remains active with the Australian Physiotherapy Association, teaching on their national Level 2 course.

Caitlin is available Mondays and Wednesdays.
