I have been working as a qualified Physiotherapist for over 19 years in the NHS and private sector. I specialise in the treatment and management of Neurological conditions and have a keen interest and advanced skill set in spasticity management and post Stroke rehabilitation.
Pulling experience from NHS and private sector settings I bring a wealth of knowledge with me to Spire Hartswood in the physical management of complex Neurological conditions, including but not exhaustive to - Stroke, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease and Brain and Spinal Injury.
I also have an interest in the management of long term conditions, post hospitalization/illness recovery and for people experiencing falls and mobility issues.
i am also offering individualised and specialist Neurological Hydrotherapy for the management and treatment of Neurological conditions.
Some of the principal treatments carried out by Mrs Nicola Rickards at Spire include:
