Nigel is a Chartered Physiotherapist who
trained at Coventry University, qualifying in 2001. He also
trained at the Manchester Metropolitan University
and became a
qualified Sports Scientist in 1998, specialising in Biomechanics
and Performance. Nigel has a particular interest in movement
control and muscle balance, and was an award winning researcher
on the subject at Coventry University.
Nigel has a wide range of experience
working in different physiotherapy environments. He has worked
at Glenfield Hospital, Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester
Nuffield, and also along side GP’s in the community. In
addition, he has worked with high level athletes and is
currently one of the physiotherapists working with
Leicestershire Cricket Club.
Another particular area of expertise and
interest includes physiotherapy in golf. This includes the
treatment of golf injuries as well as injury prevention, and the
conditioning of the body in order to maximise performance. He
uses practical understanding of the fundamentals of the golf
swing in order to identify poor technique and diagnose injury.
Nigel also specialises in Sacroiliac joint
dysfunction and rehabilitation, which causes particular pain in
the lower back and pelvis region. These problems can be both
acute and chronic in nature. However, there is usually an
extremely positive potential to significantly reduce or
eliminate these dysfunctions with the correct rehabilitation.
