About Us

Nicky Herringshaw

Hello! My name’s Nicky and I’m a mum of 2 gorgeous little girls. I’m also a musculoskeletal and women’s health physio and a cranio-sacral therapist. Sounds technical I know, but essentially I’m all about backs, joints, muscles, your well-being and your lady bits! I’ve been practising for over 16 years but things changed for me after having my first daughter. I was blown away by just how physically and mentally tough being a mum was. It’s really hard. I mean we should be applauded daily for what we go through but instead, on a daily basis we cope with various bodily fluids being wiped across us; picking-up wriggly children; managing the food in (and out) of your child, running our home, sometimes going to
actual work – need I go on?

It’s tough on our minds and it’s tough on our bodies. Yet one of the most common but most under discussed problems we face is the physical aftermath of having kids. A pelvic floor that causes you to leak a bit of wee (or poo), endless back ache, a gap in your tummy that makes sit-ups look and feel impossible ….the list is pretty endless, and along with all of that often comes a self-confidence that ends up on the floor.

So that’s where I come in. I’m passionate about helping women understand and get what they really need after having a child (however long ago it was). Whether it’s a Mummy MOT where we check over your tummy, back and pelvic floor; a massage to ease the strain of daily life, or even a cranio-sacral session which is just the most relaxing thing you’ll ever have – I’m your woman!

Like all the amazing therapists we have on our website, I will spend a lot of time talking to you, really understanding what your daily life looks like and then tailor a treatment that realistically works for you. And that’s the key to real success – and change for you. No long winded exercise plans or idealistic advice that are highly impractical for most people, let alone a busy mum – instead I will teach you about you, give you the tools to make yourself better and support you with treatment along the way. I try and do it with a smile and some humour too – I recognise some of our problems aren’t the easiest to talk about, but remember I’ve been there too and suffered most of them.

Lisa Few

Hi! My name is Lisa and I am Mum to one crazy, cheeky 6 year old boy. I am also a women’s health physiotherapist and have been for years. I love my job! What’s not to like – I get to help women on a daily basis, both new mums, mums who have older children and women who haven’t had children but are still struggling with bladder and pelvic floor issues.

I genuinely feel that women’s health physiotherapy can make a profound difference to women’s lives and help them feel better about themselves, whether it is helping to fix a gap in their tummies or enabling them to look and jump on a trampoline without any fear! I also help mums by giving advice on how to safely return to exercise after having children or after any gynaecological surgery – there is definitely a right and a wrong way!

I am a mum and completely understand how crazy and challenging life can be and how difficult it can be to prioritise yourself when you have a million things to think about and try and do. I believe in trying to incorporate any exercises or rehab programme into your everyday routine. I want to help, not add to your to do list!

I truly believe that every mum should be seen postnatally to ensure that their tummies don’t have a gap, that their pelvic floor muscles are working as they should be and emotionally and physically they are well. So I would say please don’t suffer in silence, a women’s health physiotherapist can do so much to help. Come and see me!
