Zak Storey is our resident physiotherapist at Next Practice Newstead, bringing expertise, genuine care, and a patient-centred approach to the assessment and management of a wide range of musculoskeletal and movement conditions. Zak takes the time to understand each patient's unique presentation, history, and goals, designing treatment plans that are practical, progressive, and focused on achieving lasting results - not just short-term relief.
What sets Zak's approach apart is his commitment to involving you in every step of your care. You will always understand what is being treated, why, and what the plan is to get you where you want to be.
Zak draws on a broad range of evidence-based treatment techniques, selecting and combining approaches based on what is most appropriate for your individual presentation.
Dry needling is a targeted technique using fine needles to release muscular tension, reduce pain, and improve movement in affected areas. It is particularly effective for chronic muscle tightness and trigger point management.
Exercise rehabilitation involves individualised exercise programs designed to restore strength, stability, flexibility, and function - supporting recovery from injury and helping patients return to the activities and lifestyle they enjoy.
Soft tissue techniques involve hands-on manual therapy applied to muscles, tendons, and connective tissue to reduce pain, improve circulation, and restore normal tissue function.
Joint mobilisations are skilled, controlled movements applied to joints to improve range of motion, reduce stiffness, and restore normal joint mechanics as part of a broader rehabilitation program.
Physiotherapy at Next Practice Newstead is appropriate for a wide range of presentations. Zak regularly works with patients managing back and neck pain, shoulder, knee, hip, and ankle injuries, sports injuries and muscle strains, post-surgical rehabilitation, chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions, postural concerns and movement dysfunction, and headaches related to neck and muscle tension.
If you are unsure whether physiotherapy is the right fit for your condition, our Patient Advocates are happy to assist you in finding the most appropriate pathway.
At your initial appointment, Zak will conduct a thorough assessment of your condition, including a detailed conversation about your symptoms, history, and goals, followed by a physical examination to identify the underlying cause of your concern. A tailored treatment plan will then be developed and clearly explained, with your informed involvement at every stage.
Follow-up appointments allow Zak to monitor your progress, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and advance your rehabilitation in line with your goals. Clear guidance on home exercises and self-management strategies will be provided to support your progress between sessions and empower you to take an active role in your own recovery.
New and existing patients are always welcome. To book a physiotherapy appointment with Zak Storey, or to speak with one of our Patient Advocates about whether physiotherapy is right for you, book online or contact Next Practice Newstead today.
