Integrative Physiotherapy is based in Covingham, Swindon, and is run by Specialist Pain Physiotherapist, Nicola Brown.
The clinic specialises in improving the lives of people with a range of long-term and complex conditions, and we offer pain specialist physiotherapy, rehabilitation, health coaching, nutritional therapy, and acupuncture, or a combination of these, to achieve this.
We work together to improve your pain, fatigue, mobility, sleep and nutrition, so you can feel healthier, more energised, and reach your potential.
Our way of working is for you if you are interested in taking a more holistic approach to your health, and to feel the many benefits that this can bring.
We support you by developing an individualised treatment programme, unique to your needs, bringing together a wide range of techniques and practices and supporting you all the way.
Appointments are held in a purpose-built clinic room or can be delivered on-line.

About Me
I am passionate about working with people living with persistent pain, and my role is to have a broad and deep knowledge of cutting-edge pain science and to interpret this for clients, so that they can achieve their best results.
I've put together this spider diagram to illustrate the many factors that impact our experience of pain.
We know that tissue damage and injury can play a part but they are certainly not the whole story!
This is a simplified version of the things we know can impact pain, and each box could be expanded again into a more complex web.
For each person that I see in clinic, the size/impact of each factor will be different, and part of my role is to work out which of these are having the most impact.
There are things that we can't change, like our genetics, but we can influence the way that our genes are 'expressed' or function, through a range of lifestyle changes.
Are there any here that you weren't expecting, or you'd like to hear more about?

Thank you so much. Sending love ❤️
Did you know that September is pain awareness month?
I believe it is so important to improve the understanding of persistent pain as it is an invisible condition, often misunderstood, which can bring significant suffering if not well managed.
If you or someone you know needs support with an ongoing pain condition, then call or email us to arrange a chat.

Millions of people suffer from different types of chronic pain every day of their lives. Around 34% of the UK population have chronic pain. Musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis, back and neck pain are the most common cause of chronic pain.
Physio helps people with chronic pain develop the skills they need to manage their condition, increase their activity and improve their quality of life. If you are looking for a physio near you, you can find one here: ow.ly/js1M50TkbhG

I was excited to see this podcast released yesterday from Dr Chatterjee, talking to an esteemed Physiotherapist in the field of chronic pain, Dr Peter O'Sullivan, which I know many of you will enjoy.
It talks about hope, the many myths around back pain, and a way forward. If you have any questions on the approach discussed (Cognitive Functional Therapy), then do reach out.

Best wishes,

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and, Brain fog,chronic pain back in 2020 after years of pain + fatigue from a work accident. microdosing psilocybin mushrooms helped take care it all. I haven't felt this good & confident in a long time. Kay_spores on Instagram guided me through it all. Look him up

What is pain? This video helps to answer the question but it isn’t simple!
There isn't a single pain centre or specific pain nerves.
The amount of tissue damage doesn’t always relate to the level of pain.
Thoughts, emotions and our experiences all play a part.
Even our genes and gut play a role!
