Nicky originally qualified in London. Over 8 years at two major hospitals, she worked in everything from orthopaedics to gynaecology, paediatrics, neurology, geriatrics, intensive care, hydrotherapy and with people undergoing sex changes.
Nicky has run a private practice, undertaken several Maitlands Mobilisations courses, plus additional neurology training in the Bobarth method. She has participated in two podiatry courses, including lower limb bio-mechanics; a course focusing on the importance of the diaphragm for stabilising the trunk when moving peripherally; further learning in dry needling/acupuncture: and recently an update on the vestibular system and balance/dizziness.
