Two “world leading” North East healthcare teams merge to create Gosforth centre of excellence
Two established North East healthcare teams, with over 20 years’ experience, have joined forces to create a centre of excellence in Gosforth.
After 18 months of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and development of enhanced services, Physiohaüs and Functional intelligent Training (F.I.T) have merged to become Momentum.
The merger, which included an investment over £100k to refurbish and extend the premises, has allowed the two teams to combine their skillsets. The skills offered under one roof now include “world leading” Bike Fit, Strength and Conditioning Training, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and coaching.
Based at the Regent Centre in Gosforth, the facility includes a 39-metre indoor sprint track and leading technology, used by Team GB, to enable fitness insights, provide treatment, and help people achieve their goals.

John Dennis, clinical lead physiotherapist and Bike Fit specialist, said: “The creation of Momentum comes from the recognition that in order to deliver the best possible service, we need to be specialists. Bringing multiple experts together, employed in the same facility, allows people to benefit from overlapping experiences and skills.
“As a team we focus on helping you to achieve your goals. If you have a goal in mind and need help getting there, we’re here to help. We’ve created a centre where everyone, regardless of experience, should feel welcome and can rest assured they’ll have their needs attended to on an individual basis.”

Teleri Hamilton, director of Strength and Conditioning, added: “Physiohaüs and F.I.T. joining forces to create Momentum means we continue to offer and further develop as a centre of excellence, for our existing and future clients.
“We have an incredible selection of services and knowledge behind us, to allow people to monitor and enhance their performance in a completely new way. We have newly extended and refurbished state-of-the-art premises with the best-in-class facilities and equipment. We really can’t wait to grow together and welcome new faces to the team.”
The formation of Momentum has brought three new members to the team already, with a further three skilled individuals due to join in the coming months.
