The Nicholson Clinic

Not something I would usually do, writing a review but for this I had to. About a month ago I contacted James, I had a muscle spasming in my back along with a severe pain every time I moved from one position to another I couldn’t leave my bed that Saturday morning and when I did, I couldn’t walk so I had to do something. James seen me that evening. Found the problem after some exercises. He stopped the spasming but the pain was something that needed time and a few sessions to fix, which he did very well. Gave me a few stretches to do and I’m now back to normal again and I can’t thank James enough for his help and identifying the problem quickly. He’s a real friendly guy, very professional and intelligent. 10/10.

James, I just wanted to say that I think you must be a wizard or a magician of some sort! The treatment you did last week on my right hip has been nothing short of miraculous!! I can go up and down stairs now with only a hint of discomfort occasionally, not pain. It’s fabulous. Thank you so much.I’ll continue with my exercises and hopefully maintain this wonderful progress.Thank you again, I feel you’ve given me my life back!

I have had 3 sessions with James, huge progress has been made in just 3 sessions. First off James is thorough. I explained my issues which there are a few! For over a year I have been suffering with sciatic pain, I had been to two other osteopaths for around 7/8 sessions and there was no sign of improvement, for the first time I have been pain free from sciatica! My other issue is shin points and Plantar fasciitis. James works on my shin and my foot and wow what a noticeable difference. From my other sessions with others I left not really knowing what I needed to do or remember all of the exercises, by surprise I received a full and in-depth treatment plan via email. This for me and I am sure many others will benefit from because it’s explains the exercises, how many days and reps to do also has a calendar to mark your days down. I have recommended James to friends and family my wife is looking to book in soon. Thank you James!

Have been seeing James for my running niggles for a while now and he is brilliant. He always seems to find the route cause of my pain points and gives me exercises to help. I have had Achilles and calf issues more recently and James has provided lots of specific stretching and strengthening routines which have really helped. His sports massages are fantastic and really help relax and soothe my legs. More recently my 13 year old son has seen James as he is experiencing some knee pain whilst running. James has noticed his lack of flexibility and together with his rapid growing has provided a program that will hopefully help recovery. James’s advice for him has been excellent. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James and have done already.

James has worked with my son over several months to increasing his athletic ability, the improvement has been spectacular with increased, strength, speed, endurance and skill. James’s attention to detail was apparent throughout which meant training was both effective and appropriate. Every aspect was taken care of with the correct mindset and nutritional advice. As a direct result of working with James my son was offered a sports scholarship.

Outstanding experience with immediate benefit after months of pain and visits to other practitioners. James created an excellent self care plan from which I am still benefiting from.

James the ‘miracle man’.I’d had some back and leg pain for some time, had been to a different osteopath for treatment to no avail.I was recommended to James Nicholson and he worked wonders on me. He’s very professional. Very reasonably priced in comparison to my others local.Lots of after care where required.My go to osteopath now.

I've been working with James since 2010 after I had a lightbulb moment & changed my lifestyle. He turned a desperately unfit 61 year old into if not a lean mean machine a fully fit hill walker able to walk and climb mountains around the world. Always learning, always listening James is a rare breed amongst personal trainers. Always searching for ways to improve my fitness, always working to resolve physical problems, always developing in a (now) 71 year old new ways to maintain levels of fitness & body strength. With his newly developing Osteopathy work he has added yet more dimensions to help me stay fit and healthy.

Before he began weekly sessions with James Nicholson, our teenager had recurring injury problems which prevented him from getting fit and playing rugby regularly. James analysed the reasons behind his injuries and developed a mix of training methods, including strength and conditioning, which have resolved the injury problems and improved his rugby game. By introducing new activities such as weightlifting and boxing into the fitness regime, James keeps the sessions fresh and challenging. James’ expertise in nutrition for sport and motivation have proved invaluable in developing a positive mental attitude hand in hand with vastly improved strength and fitness. James is reliable, professional and goes the extra mile. He is serious about fitness and wellbeing and has unbeatable results with anyone who has challenging but achievable targets in mind and expects to work hard in order to reach their goals.
