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.
