From Biologist to Chartered Physiotherapist, Nicky has managed large NHS Physiotherapy Clinics to owning and directing a team of staff in her own pain relief clinics in Harrogate and Stafford treating over 10,000 patients. In May 2016, Nicky won the prestigious "AACP Excellence in Patient Service Award". A leading name in healthcare, Nicky's questioning and somewhat 'controversial' opinions from an early age, ignited her passion to meet international pain gurus and she has travelled extensively. In these short interviews Nicky chats very naturally about her wholistic approach to treating patients in pain, which combines traditional hands on techniques with state-of-the-art treatment modalities including Shockwave & Magnetic Resonance Treatment to newly acquired and much loved DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy.

"At last, technology that addresses the wear and tear of physical therapists hands with the wonderful connectivity of being a hands on treatment, shear genius. A patient summed it up, when he said: 'for the first time, I felt us journey through the treatment process together, rather than being broken up while you get other bits of kit out, that don't involve touch and with you sitting behind your desk.'' It is a true Godsend for hands-on therapists. Thank you, Nicky"

DEEP OSCILLATION®, developed by Physiomed Elektromedizin in Germany is an internationally patented therapeutic design which utilizes the forces of pulsed electrostatic attraction and friction to provoke oscillations, which act deeply on the tissues of the body from the epidermis down through the conjunctive and adipose layers and into the muscles. Hernandez Tapanes et al (2010) were able to prove, by diagnostic ultrasound, penetration of the oscillations up to an 8cm depth (see diagram). Observed physiological effects of the therapy include oedema resorption - Jahr S Et Al (2008) The therapy also limits the production of inflammatory mediators, especially during the treatment for chronic pain and more so during the treatment of fibromyalgia - Janik, H. et al (2010) strengthening of the cutaneous tissues - Korkina Et Al (2007), stimulation of the wound healing process Mikhalchik E, Et Al (2005), Trybulski R (2008).
