"I can't thank Nicola enough for the transformative assistance she has provided over the past 8 months. She's a true specialist in HSD/hEDS as well as being kind, friendly and very easy to talk to. She has gone out of her way to accommodate my (somewhat unusual) circumstances and to assist me after a difficult surgery.
For the first time in several decades I'm finally seeing my health and fitness substantially improve, and I highly recommend her if you're looking for a physio who truly understands hypermobility and all its complexities."

"I completed a short course of physiotherapy with Nicola that helped me to be more present in my body, to be able to feel my body's signals with less anxiety and to be aware of and listen to my limits at a time when my capacity and ability was changing and I was experiencing new pain and fatigue. She is very knowledgeable and her supportive manner meant I always felt really comfortable bringing up any queries. The work we have done has helped me feel optimistic about the future and I fully recommend her.”

“After a rear end car accident, I went to Nicola at Integrative Physiotherapy with lower back pain and tight back muscles. Over a number of sessions, I had a mix of treatments including physiotherapy and acupuncture, and it genuinely made a big difference. My back improved steadily, and I started to feel much more comfortable in my movement again. What I really liked was how personalised everything felt. Nicola takes the time to understand what’s actually going on and tailors the treatment to suit you.
Everything is very well organised too, booking, communication, the whole process is smooth and professional. You can tell she really knows what she’s doing and has a lovely treatment room. She’s also very easy to talk to, which makes the sessions feel relaxed and enjoyable.
I’d definitely highly recommend Nicola to anyone dealing with pain or recovering from an injury.”

“On the day of my son's diagnosis of CRPS, and after doing some local research I was given Nicola's number. She was the first person I spoke to that day and I'll be eternally grateful I made that call. From the first appointment, to getting to know my son, and us as a family, right through the rehabilitation process, Nicola manages to get it just right. My son went from a healthy, athletic teenager to developing overnight foot pain, resulting in him being wheelchair-bound. Nicola provided us with practical exercises, pain management support and reassurance from start to finish. With her knowledgeable, professional, kind and caring approach he has gained confidence during every session. After three months of rehabilitation he has made significant progress, and is now walking on crutches, and due to restart A-levels in September. Nicola has been fundamental in supporting us and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Integrative Physiotherapy. Thank you Nicola, you are truly amazing.”

“Nicola is very knowledgeable and professional, but also friendly and has always made me feel at ease. The treatment I have received over the last 18 months hasn't only helped me manage my ongoing neck and shoulder pain, but has reduced the discomfort greatly. Nicola has also helped me with a holistic approach to my health, giving me tips and advice on healthy eating and positive thinking. I am very grateful for the help she has given me and strongly recommend her to everyone."

“Nicola Brown has been helping me following a back operation that left me weak and numb in one leg. Nicola runs her sessions from a high standard, standalone treatment room purposely built in her garden. It is extremely clean, comfortable, private and quiet. Parking is safe and easy on her private drive, making the start of each session seamless. Nicola is flexible with regards to appointments, which has made it easy for me to schedule them amongst my busy work schedule. The exercises that she has recommended have been well explained both during our sessions, and on the summary sheets she emails me afterwards.
Over the past few weeks, I have regained noticeable strength in my injured back and leg, but also more flexibility that I had prior to the operation. I am a keen horse owner, and the treatment I have received has enabled me to start riding again quicker than anticipated, which is massively important to me.
With these great results, I would highly recommend seeing Nicola.”

“Nicola at Integrative Physio has been an amazing help to me. I was born with Spina Bifida which has resulted in suffering from chronic pain for most of my life.
I enrolled on the personal treatment course for people with persistent pain. Nicola was friendly and welcoming and very thorough at the first session going through my history.

"Just over a year ago I experienced a life-changing car accident. My terrible open fracture injury to my right ankle I was told would require a lot of physiotherapy, and that this would be the key to the best possible recovery. Through bad luck there are always silver linings, and my meeting with Nicola was one of those. She has been dedicated to helping me gain strength and in learning about a new leg that I am now living with. Nicola has treated my injury in many ways, including acupuncture, a range of exercises, teaching me how to walk again, and not forgetting learning to climb the stairs, and embarking on walking outside.
The care and dedication from Nicola is beyond anything I could ever put into words. She is not only highly accomplished, but also a most caring kind person. I cannot write a more positive word about Nicola. She is exceptional in so many ways. The key to my recovery as I was told would be with my physiotherapist. It most certainly is. I could not give her a better review. Nicola Brown is dedicated to giving my difficult injury the best chance I could possibly have for a strong and happy life. This was a review I looked forward to writing".

"I was experiencing some back pain and stiffness which was causing pins and needles to shoot down my right arm into my hands. I went to see my GP who offered to refer me to the hospital for physio. The wait for this was some time so I was advised to look into arranging this myself. This is when I found Nicola. On my foray visit Nicola asked multiple questions to have a better understanding of what was going on. The sessions never felt rushed and Nicola was professional, caring and kind at all times, and I quickly felt comfortable with her. Nicola was not only on hand in the sessions she was also fantastic at sending over emails with exercises on to continue doing between sessions and you can truly see and feel the passion she has for her job. I am now pain-free and the pins and needles have completely gone. I would highly recommend Nicola - thank you for all help!"

"Integrative Physiotherapy provided excellent service, flexible appointments, with a good balance of discussing the issues, giving explanations and physical solutions with follow up. I would highly recommend".

"Having suffered chronic back pain (whiplash) for the past 3 years my consultant recommended a pain management course. I was a little sceptical as I thought I was managing my pain with medication but decided to keep an open mind and enrolled on a 10-week course with Nicola. I am so glad I did. Nicola did a detailed assessment and explained where my pain was coming from and helped me identify the triggers that caused me heightened pain. She then, week by week, gave me new skills and tools to help me manage my pain along with a personalised and manageable exercise plan, which has certainly helped. Whilst I will probably never be free of pain, I am grateful to Nicola for giving me a different perspective and showing me how I can help myself whenever possible to minimise my pain. Thank you for a truly helpful and insightful course".

"After suffering from abdominal nerve damage and a there being a long NHS waiting list, I decided to book an appointment with Nicola. She helped me understand the pain I was in and how I could start to work on using my abdominal muscles after months of not using them. She was very friendly and even checked up on me after my NHS appointment to see how I had got on. I would 100% recommend integrative physiotherapy, for both the effectiveness of her treatment and the overall experience."
Ben
"My experience with Nicola was fantastic. She was prompt in responding to my initial communication and quickly set up a consultation. Nicola’s availability was great throughout, and the automatic email confirming the appointment date/time was helpful.
Treatment is provided in her garden office which was well presented and maintained. Nicola’s property is easy to access with driveway parking offered in a nice quiet area.
The sessions were always efficient thanks to Nicola’s preparation. In relationship to my symptoms, I learned a lot about their causes and necessary corrective action and I am thankfully now pain-free. I’m very grateful to have found such a great physio and would happily return if I’m unfortunate enough to need to!"
