Nigel Roe is a New Zealand physiotherapist with 30 years experience and a special interest in sports and spinal injuries and orthopaedic rehabilitation who after years being London based, has happily settled with his family in Warwickshire. He qualified from the Otago School of Physiotherapy in New Zealand in 1990, and went on to complete a postgraduate diploma in manipulative physiotherapy at Otago University in 1993. This additional 1 year full-time course focused on specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal and limb musculoskeletal problems.
Nigel's approach:
Within the framework of accurately diagnosing your problem, sorting it's causitive elements, and making sure you understand how to manage it with correct movement, posture and exercise, Nigel’s treatment techniques are principally “hands on”.... using joint mobilising and manipulation techniques, muscle, soft tissue and trigger point release techniques that can be used to relieve joint pain, reduce painful protective muscle tone/tightness, restore joint movement and enable optimal flexibility and stability.
"The best physio's are old, previously broken ones!".........
Growing up in costal New Zealand, Nigel has been highly active his whole life. He played football, cricket, rugby, tennis, was always on a bike and grew up surfing the beautiful coastline in his hometown Gisborne. With all that iactivity inevitably came injuries, and even surgery. The list is a pretty comprehensive top to toes one, and Nigel is grudgingly greatful to have had first hand insight into recovery form fractures, knee meniscal surgery, spinal nerve root compression, dislocated fingers, low back facet joint pain, partial Achilles tendon rupture, patellofemoral pain, A/C shoulder joint trauma, neck origin headache, postural neck and back pain, rib fracture, bad ankle strains, mortons neuroma, tennis elbow, calf muscle tear......and so the list goes on! Reassuringly, he is still very active with a mix of pain free running, mountain biking, tennis and strength training. Having to recover from this huge range of injuries though has given him invaluable insight into road testing sound, evidence based rehab, and to see what actually works from the confusing array of advice and treatment options available for most injuries. Come and see a physio who in all likelyhood has been there, done that, and come out the other side on your particular pain problem or injury! If he hasn't had it himeslf, 34 years of experience means he's seen it and sorted it in plenty of others to date.
