I am Nicola Brown, pain specialist physiotherapist, health coach and founder of Integrative Physiotherapy.
I support people living with persistent pain and/or fatigue, to have an active, healthy and enjoyable life, and who want to build their confidence to do the things that are important to them.
I take a whole person approach, and I am passionate in helping people to understand their ongoing pain and associated symptoms, and to bring together a bespoke range of practices and techniques to create optimal health and wellbeing.
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, so everyone I see in clinic is given a personalised plan.
I qualified as a physiotherapist over 20 years ago, and I have worked in a range of settings since, from a large city hospital, to a small community trust.
When I moved to Swindon in 2006, I was lucky to work with a great mentor and teacher who taught me about ongoing pain, and the importance of looking at the whole person, not just where the pain was. Pain is a complex problem, and there is no quick fix or simply solution, but I believe that there is still hope.
I set up Integrative Physiotherapy in 2021 to enable me to work with people in a way that would benefit them the most, without the constraints on appointment frequency, duration or number.
I take the time to fully assess your current problem and health needs, and also have a special interest on the impact of sleep, stress, activity levels and nutrition on pain and fatigue, and together we will build a plan to help you achieve your goals.

My passion for working with people in pain has never waned, and I have spent the past 18 years studying it, and working closely with people living with it.
