From April 2025 Nikki is stepping down from being a partner at the Portland Physiotherapy Clinic for over 25 years. She still plans on doing a few clinical hours each week, especially focusing on helping those of you struggling with vertigo. Nikki can competently assess for and treat BPPV, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, with the Epley manoeuvre, and is expanding her knowledge of vestibular rehabilitation for vestibular and dizziness related problems.
Nikki keeps up to date with the latest physiotherapy research ideas and practical clinical tips by attending conferences most years. Attending these conferences opens our eyes to new developments in the profession, one of which is the increasing use of both radial pressure wave shockwave therapy( can be used for deeper soft tissue/myofascial blood flow) and advanced Focus shockwave( excellent for stubborn tendon problems of over 3 months duration and for use in Mens health issues (with Adam Rawle) and is excited that the clinic has invested in these machines for our clients.
Nikki qualified from Addenbrookes Hospital Cambridge in 1990 and worked in London for 9 years before moving to the East Grinstead area. She has a family with two daughters and keeps fit with walking,HIIT, strength and conditioning classes & yoga.
