MChiro DC MRCC– Chiropractor

Nigel trained and treated a wide vari­ety of neuro-​musculoskeletal prob­lems while at the Welsh Insti­tute of Chi­ro­prac­tic (WIOC). It is here that he attained his Mas­ters Degree in Chiropractic.

After spend­ing time in research, dis­cus­sions with expe­ri­enced prac­ti­tion­ers, and being men­tored and sup­ported by the Head of WIOC, Nigel became the very first clin­i­cian to have per­formed Mir­ror Visual Feed­back Ther­apy at the WIOC, yield­ing great results in aid­ing phan­tom limb pain.

Nigel believes in a holis­tic approach when it comes to treat­ing patients. The aim is not just treat­ing symp­toms, but man­ag­ing them as a whole and improv­ing over­all func­tion. As an avid run­ner and squash enthu­si­ast, he has a par­tic­u­lar inter­est in treat­ing sports-​related injuries as well as help­ing to improve poor pos­tural habits. In his treat­ment ses­sions, Nigel adopts numer­ous tech­niques includ­ing chi­ro­prac­tic adjust­ments (Diver­si­fied), tap­ing, soft tis­sue release tech­niques, and the pre­scrip­tion of spe­cific reha­bil­i­ta­tion exer­cises to aid recovery.

Over the years, he has also devel­oped an inter­est in func­tional move­ment pat­terns. As a Rock­tape cer­ti­fied func­tional move­ment coach, Nigel can assess and iden­tify any func­tional lim­i­ta­tions or dys­func­tional move­ment pat­terns, with the aim of tar­get­ing and cor­rect­ing them. This will ulti­mately lead to reduced pain and improved per­for­mance or function.
