Runner
Anna Aspinall
Run Leader - Whaley Bridge
I went to see Nick after my knee developed a niggling injury which was stopping me from running and becoming worse even with rest.
Nick gave me loads of up-to-date information in hard copy and I really liked the fact he sent me video links for all the suggested exercises too.
On my first two visits Nick sorted out other postural problems and gave me lots of suggested exercises to do at home. On my third visit he had a student with him so I really got my money’s worth as he treated my leg with massage and the vibrating machine whilst explaining everything thoroughly.
I am currently increasing my running distance and feeling great, my leg is getting better with the strengthening exercises and I have my next session with Nick booked to keep me on track.
I would recommend Nick to anyone with pain, he is multi-talented and passionate about his work. A true professional.

I would have no hesitation at all in highly recommending Nick. His care, dedication and conscientious attitude, and depth of knowledge is outstanding.
I am a marathon runner with 33 year's experience, the past 2 years I have suffered persistent problems with my calf muscle, preventing me from competing and seriously hindering my training. I was at an all time low when I saw Nick on the 5th September 2015, without much hope of being able to run the Chicago marathon on 12th October 2015. Three visits to Nick in 3 weeks and to my amazement not only did I make the start line but I ran the 26 miles, non-stop in under 4 hours, without any problems with my calf muscle.
I have now resumed my intense training regime and feel better than I have done in years, and I am looking forward to my next marathon. I can't thank you enough.

Runner - Muscle Strain
Paul Stepto
Nick got me back running, after struggling for nearly 2 years. He not only gives a thorough treatment but gives a course of exercises to strengthen and prevent further injury. I would recommend a visit to Nick if you have any kind of injury.

David Hall
I turned to Nick when all else failed having pulled a muscle 3 weeks prior to running my first full marathon. Not only did he ease the pain, but enabled me to complete the marathon! First rate service from a very knowledgeable and personable man.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Nick to anyone.
Sciatica
Steve Leigh
Quarry Manager - Buxton
My Sciatica was so painful, it affected my everyday tasks until one day in September I was reduced to laying on the floor, in agony, unable to get up.
My son encouraged me to contact Nick, who after speaking to me on the phone was knocking at my door in just twenty minutes. After chatting to find out more about me, he rolled up his sleeves and started with gentle manipulation.
Nick continued to visit and treat me until I was back on my feet and able to go for an MRI scan - this helped diagnose the problem and gave Nick the information he needed to work out a programme of treatment for me.
Each time I visited Nick, he showed me the latest research on my condition - this helped reassure me, and my mobility improved each and every time.
I am currently pain free, and feeling much better. I have no hesitation in recommending Nick, he's thorough and professional.
Sciatica
Paul Wilson
Kayaker
Over the years I have been treated by many physios, both private and NHS. I can honestly say that Nick has been the most effective in helping me cope with my various ailments, which include low back pain and sciatica. I travel from Coventry to Buxton to see him; this is a round trip of around 5 hours which shows how highly I rate him.
Sciatica
Marie Keable
Peak Dale
Nick has supported/treated me for bouts of Sciatica for around 6 years. Even though there can be long periods of time when I haven’t visited, he recalls every fact about my back/leg problems so we can get straight to treatment using a variety of means from manipulation and massage to ultrasound. I’ve also benefitted from complimentary therapies including Reiki and Acupuncture.
Nick supports your programme of recovery with personalised exercises which he demonstrates with you before receiving video guides and fact sheets by email.
In this day and age, it’s important to be proactive with one’s own health and therefore I would highly recommend this business.
Shiatsu
Ann Thomas
Nick has qualified in many therapies and brings all his knowledge together when assessing appropriate treatments. Sometimes a treatment that focuses on gentle stretching, relaxation and a sense of well-being is what is needed. I have experienced his Shiatsu treatments and would recommend it. If you have not tried it, ask him about it.
Shoulder Injury - Rotator Cuff
Kath Forder

I can't recommend Nick enough. His treatment and caring approach is second to none. I am pain free from my rotator cuff injury thanks to Nick.
Shoulder Pain
Nerissa Gill
After having physio before, to little effect, I had treatment on my shoulder by Nick and began to feel the benefits almost immediately. The assessment was extremely thorough and the prescribed exercises very beneficial. I would, and have, wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone struggling with pain or injury.
Shoulder Pain
Michael Smith
I would highly recommend Nick. He was very helpful with diagnosing my shoulder problem and provided some exercises both written and in video form for me to use.

I was recommended by a friend to see Nick regarding my shoulder. Nick spent time to really get to the bottom of my problem. Thank you so much 😊
Sports Injury - Martial Arts
Anthony Wood
I have had lower back problems since about 1970 following an injury received doing judo. Nick has been working on this back problem and at last I am getting some relief from the almost constant pain. I am doing about 40 minutes of exercise every day now and I am finding this really does help. I would recommend Nick for any sports injury.

On my first visit Nick explained exactly what to expect, and was very honest and realistic of the outcome of treatments in which he gave which was very reassuring.
Nick's knowledge and professionalism throughout my treatments was excellent. His help and treatments in my recovery plan have been second to none and has even improved my performance. Thank you Nick!

Ruth Shercliff

Nick is very thorough and knowledgeable.
He really gets to the root of the problem and has plenty of advice on how to improve things. He demonstrates any recommended exercises precisely and explains why you should be doing them. My injured knee has recovered in a very short time and I have received very useful advice about how to avoid running injuries in the future.
Nick goes above and beyond what I have come to expect from other sports therapists. Highly recommended.
Sports Massage
Patrick Walker
I was lucky enough to be given a sports massage voucher for my birthday. Turned out to be a great present. Nick is clearly very committed, skilled and a nice guy.
He even gave me some exercises to help with my golf swing. ⛳️ 😁 Brilliant.👍
Sports Massage
Dan Twigg
I had a sports massage concentrated on my left shoulder. It helped a lot. Would recommend for anyone struggling with injury.
Sports Massage
Brian Law
A great experience! I went in for a sports massage because I had some back and shoulder pain, but Nick was much more thorough - he quickly found the source of these issues, walked me through a number of stretches before the massage, and then provided me with some exercises that I could do at home to prevent the issue. Top notch!
Sports Therapy
Kerrie West
Personal Trainer - Tideswell
When I first visited Nick he explained everything to me in fine detail. His knowledge on the anatomy was incredible. Whilst having the treatment I felt very relaxed and was very impressed with everything he did. The pain I experienced disappeared almost instantly after I left the treatment room and has been a lot better since after following the after care plan he gave me. Thanks Nick!
