"Nicola has worked with me at both club and International level. She has always been committed to getting myself and team mates back on the ice after injury. I’ve had a few injuries over the past few years and without Nicola tirelessly working on my rehab and motivating to push myself, my injury lay off time would have been so much longer."

"I had been suffering with constant back problems for some time, after trying different types of treatment I had resigned myself to the fact that it was something I would have to live with. A friend suggested going to Elite Therapy and after one session my back started to feel an improvement. Nicola worked on my posture and core stability and gave me exercises to improve my mobility. My pain has reduced considerably and I have the confidence to be active now without the fear of my back seizing up. I can’t thank Nicola and Elite Therapy enough." TP, Coventry

This was very well received and we will definitely be doing it again" Paul Hartley - Pyramid Design

"I had been having back trouble for a number of years now - periodically it would flare up and I would come in for a few therapy sessions to manage the condition. A consultant has now determined that I require surgery to correct the condition.
