"Nicki is an excellent sports therapist. I have suffered some quite bad injuries over the past year, severe crepitus in my forearms and hands from canoeing over 100 miles from Devizes to Westminster and more recently sciatica – a trapped nerve. Her comprehensive knowledge and friendly approach has ensured I’ve had the right treatment and been given the professional advice needed to aid the healing process and alleviate the pain.
Whether your injury is minor or serious I would strongly recommend a visit to Nicki."

“I began seeing Di following a scuba diving accident in which I suffered an arterial gas embolism. My injury has affected my motor-neuron response down my right hand side, predominantly in my right leg. I decided to begin a series of deep tissue sports massage to relieve the pain whilst I progress through my programme as directed by Richmond Neuro Rehabilitation Team.
I have been very impressed with the positive effects the massage has had on my mobility and quality of life in general. Di is an extremely knowledgeable professional and has been able to pin point and work on the problem areas. She has a calm personality and I find that I can relax in her company, whilst she is also very aware of my pain levels and works with care and an empathetic approach to client care. As well as the massage therapy, Diane has also been very helpful in recommending additional stretching exercises to extend the effects of the massage into the next week until my next appointment.
I have only good things to say about Diane. She is a true professional and a very nice person and I unreservedly recommend her services to you.”
