• "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." Jonathon Weaver, GB and Coventry Blaze Ice Hockey Club Captain
  • "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
  • "I would like to thank Elite Therapy and Joel for their professionalism and ethusiasm, in helping me gain the strides i needed to over come my injuries. This has allowed me to develop my skills within the European and international stage" Adam Biggs, Coventry Jets AFC, GB Lions AFC
  • "We tend to spend a lot of time sitting at our desks producing design work for our clients. As part of encouraging our guys to adopt the right posture and take breaks from the computer we asked Elite to come in and offer massage therapy and advice on an individual basis. 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. Joel has helped by taking a detailed holistic background history and developed a series of exercises to prepare me for the procedure and help aid the recovery process" AM, Leamington Spa

Nicola Sherlock

Nicola is a qualified Sports Rehabilitator and Trainer who has worked in both England and New Zealand. She’s currently team therapist for Coventry Blaze Ice Hockey Club and was appointed therapist for the Great Britain Senior Men’s Ice Hockey Team in 2007. She’s worked at 3 world championships and the Olympic Qualifiers in Poland in 2009.

My interest in physiology started from an early age, I was intrigued by how the complex body worked, its adaptation to exercise and how it responded to injuries and stress. I was a keen hockey player Nicola Sherlockand represented Coventry at Athletics; it was at the age of 17, when I was told by a specialist that a knee injury would prevent me from playing any competitive sport again that I decided to research the injury myself. Two operations later and six months of intensive rehab I was back to full fitness.

Educating the client in how their injury occurred is essential to managing and avoiding the reoccurrence of the injury. I believe a great number of injuries are caused through incorrect technique, whether it be a backhand shot in tennis or the positioning of a work station. My treatment approach aims to correct these techniques whilst treating the injury and encouraging the client to take an active part in their own rehabilitation.

I work with the principle that every injury is unique, so the treatment plan will be too.
