Nick Watson Physiotherapy

Nick is great. He was recommended to me by a friend at the gym after I hurt my wrist. I lift weights and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to walk my three large dogs.Nick worked with me to assess the problem. His holistic approach not only helped with my wrist but also identified a problem with my hip. I had initially thought it was a knee problem, but we managed through experimentation and his excellent understanding of anatomy and causality to establish that I was actually over compensating using my knee to relieve the hip. As a result I dramatically improved my squat form and I'm no longer scared to push myself when my knee complains.All in all I also learnt a lot about how my body works and I am able to make adjustments thanks to Nick's excellent explanatory style.

I was struggling with what I thought was an Achilles injury but Nick very quickly identified that actually the root cause was a thoracic chest issue. This he corrected very quickly and now I can run properly again. Absolutely amazing, thank you.

I went to see Nick as as I was having sciatic pain, which has been a recurrent issue for most of my life. It had flared up to the point of impacting my daily activities.Nick went through all my history of back pain and explained really clearly what causes it and why it happens.He's helped me to learn how to change the way I move so I'm not causing the irritation.I've been to physios in the past who treat the area and you go away feeling great only for it to return at a later date. With Nick I have learnt to find the solutions myself to stop this re-occuring!I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nick.

Nick was able to offer practical advice on how to relieve back pain associated with a slipped disc. I was particularly concerned with pain management in pregnancy as I approached my third trimester. Nick offered safe exercises that I could easily implement at home and at work. He took his time to investigate my symptoms and work out the best possible solution. Thanks for your help Nick!

Nick is a fantastic physiotherapist. I have ongoing back and neck issues and rather than a ‘quick fix’ treatment, Nick worked with me to get to the root of the problem and now I have a ‘go to’ exercise to do when my issue flares up. He tried a variety of different techniques and exercises and was very thorough in his work; he really knows his stuff! He is patient and puts you at ease and is not at all patronising (unlike other physios I have used!). He understands and sympathises and most importantly, listens. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nick as a physio.

Nick's treatment has greatly improved a long standing back problem and this has allowed me to continue with, and increase my cycling activities. My general well being and sleep patterns are also significantly better.

I took my daughter to see Nick - this is her feedback:I had a muscle pain in my back which hurt while dancing and interrupted my sleep. As I study dance full time it became increasingly difficult to do certain moves. Since working with Nick the pain has relieved massively. He made me think about the way I do certain moves and changed my perspective on different muscles and joints. This has now meant that my flexibility has increased and the pain has gone away. Thank you

At 65 years, I have retired after a very active and physically demanding work life; and my wife pushed me to have an appointment with Nick....to sort myself out!My problems are hip and knees. Nick helped me to get to the heart of the problem. He made me stop and think, he made me realise that every movement has a corresponding impact on another part of my body. Nick has taught me about my body and how to think about how I am moving. In a nutshell, Nick has taught me to how to help myself.I will be going his class for Pilates and Movement in the New Year. Thanks Nick.

Huge Thank you to Nick who managed to sort out a long standing problem with my Achilles in one session and gave me an enormous amount of advice in order to prevent it coming back.I would really recommend Nick - he doesn`t go for quick fixes but works with you to establish why the problem might have occurred in the first place.Thank you for all your help and support.

I came to Nick with various niggles; mostly painful tension in my shoulder, intermittent pain in my knee, and the belief that my muscles were too weak to support me. This stopped me partaking in any meaningful exercise and thoughts that I was 'weak' had a negative impact on me emotionally. Nick's holistic approach was so refreshing and his techniques really empowered me to make subtle yet positive changes, coupled with gentle exercises, that improved my condition and overall wellbeing. I haven't had any knee pain since seeing Nick twice almost two months ago, which is the longest since symptoms began almost five years ago! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nick as a physiotherapist to anyone. He has excellent knowledge and a genuine desire to find the cause of problems, not just treating the symptoms which I have found to be a rarity in this field. Thanks Nick.
