Thanks to Oli Howard for this great Google review!

"I found Nicola after finding that my long-standing back, shoulder and neck issues worsened when working at home over lockdown. She carried out a very thorough initial consultation, helping to identify the problem areas. After a couple of sessions I have already found her treatments to be very effective. She has communicated very clearly throughout and given me some new stretches to try as well. More than happy to recommend Nicola to any other creaking home-workers!"
