I came to Nikky with an ongoing injury that has been troubling me for four years now; a trapped nerve in my shoulder that we believe was caused by the carrying around and holding of children. I’ve sought help from a number of professionals, including NHS physios, but have never managed any kind of tangible relief from the pain I have.
Nikky spent a long time with me, asking questions about my pain, treatment already received and any kind of help that this treatment offered me. She did initial assessments to ensure she knew the exact extent of my injury, and to rule out anything neurological (as this had been suggested previously).
Her massage was very thorough, and throughout she explained to me why she was working on particular muscles (I also ask lots of questions because I like to know the nitty gritty details), and put me at ease that I was in good hands and that she knew exactly how to treat my issue. She provided me with relief from a pain that bothers me daily and used to stop me using my left arm comfortably. I play lots of netball, and her massage has meant that I'm not struggling the day after a match as I used to.
I’ve now been to Nikky three times and will continue to seek her treatment for my trapped nerve as I manage to aggravate it repeatedly with a clingy two year old and competitive netball as a hobby!
Nikky is a very friendly and relaxed person, who made me feel welcome at her clinic. I wholly recommend Nikky to anyone seeking help through massage.
