About Me

I'm Nicola, a physiotherapist who helps patients to improve their wellbeing after injury or illness! I’m passionate about helping my patients regain their strength and physical wellbeing.

During my 18 years of experience as a physiotherapist, I’ve worked extensively in the NHS as well as for industry-leading private hospitals and clinics. I am also the in-house Physiotherapist for an elite gymnastics club.

My experience is supported by academic study. I graduated in 2005 with a BSc Honours Degree in Physiotherapy and maintain a keen interest in the latest research and medical guidance. As a post-graduate physiotherapist, I also trained as an Acupuncturist and a Pilates instructor for The Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI).

Before my career as a physiotherapist, I competed as an elite gymnast at international level. I was fortunate to compete in many counties across the world.

After turning professional I was privileged to be selected to perform as an aerialist in the Central Show of the Millennium Dome.

These experiences have increased my awareness of the demands of high-level sporting activities and the importance of rehabilitation following injury. That being said, you don’t need to be an elite athlete to benefit from physiotherapy! My patients are of all ages and mobility levels, coming from many different occupations.

"I have been suffering from back pain for 4 years after having children, I had one treatment session with Nicola and I feel like a new woman! I can bend over without pain and pull my knees up to my chest to put my socks on. I can't remember the last time I could do that without pain!"

"Shortly after giving birth; carrying a baby, lifting pushchairs/car seats in and out of my car etc , I suffered terrible lower back pain. I visited Nikki, she quickly and professionally assessed me and treated my immediate pain (and also the deep knots on my shoulders) Nikki gave me simple exercises to do at home to strengthen my back. I highly recommend her services."

I will miss you very much and good luck with whatever you do in the future.

I have used Nicola as my physiotherapist and not only is she super lovely but she does a great job!
Also highly recommend getting a mummy MOT. So important to know where your body is at after birth so you can work on it accordingly and not do further damage. I had 4/5 finger diastasis after my 3rd baby and I've manaaged to get it to 1.5 after 4 months 'work' which is considered normal. It's so doable when you know how to.
