Following a painful shoulder problem, I have received physiotherapy from Nina over a number of sessions. Nina has really taken the time to listen, explain and advise, offering a range of exercises that have resulted in a huge improvement to my function and mobility. All this is done with kindness, encouragement and positivity that has really reassured me on my path to recovery. Having been a GP for thirty years, I can honestly say that Nina is one of the most skilled physiotherapists I have met. Starting an exercise programme treatment can be daunting if someone is in pain. Nina is careful to explain, teach and observe the exercises first and pitch them at just the right level. She also brings skills from her pilates training and works on core strength and breathing so that you continue to stay well. She enjoys a challenge and is patient with complex issues like hypermobility. Her gentle sense of humour is very encouraging. I am very grateful that she sorted out a problem which others could not help me with.

Nina has been treating my 11 year old daughter for the past two years for a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and scoliosis.  When my daughter sees Nina for her chronic pain and very tight muscles she always feels better after and this therefore, makes the condition more manageable and my daughter more comfortable. She plays a key role in managing the condition and keeping my daughter mobile. Nina had also treated my 7 year old son for chronic foot pain due to hyper mobility and to improve his core strength. Doing the exercises she gave him daily has improved his pain levels and we continue to work on strengthening everything. She is great at giving a wide range of appropriate exercises for strengthening and always puts a fun twist on them to. She is extremely kind, accommodating and approachable and has built up a wonderful relationship with my daughter. Nina makes the client feel relaxed and safe. She gives great advice for how to manage different challenges and is very pro active in communicating with my child's other doctors. Nina really is a fantastic physiotherapist and I cannot recommend highly enough.

Nina is a caring, experienced physiotherapist with a friendly, professional manner. I had multiple soft tissue injuries around my hip which were severely impacting on my daily life and gym routine, causing much inconvenience and frustration. Nina was very helpful and with a personalised pilates program helped me to regain both my confidence and full recovery.

Nina helped with my recovery from a running induced foot injury with exercises designed to target specific weaknesses and address imbalances. Her knowledge and analysis helped me to get back to running pain-free quickly and required surprisingly few consultations.

I found Nina's whole body approach to be really useful for me, and found Nina very professional and knowledgable.  I run with my dog to stay fit and also do the occasional 10km and half marathon races to keep me focused. I have suffered with plantar facistis in the past and presently, a common runners injury, and so found the video analysis on the whole body brilliant. I could see immediately with Nina’s expertese, exactly what was causing my injury and was able to get it sorted. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nina, especially if you are just getting into running, as it will not only help you to run more efficiently but will hopefully be able to keep you injury free. A worth while investment!

A friend suggetsed that since I was progressing from marathons to “ultras” then I should get a body MOT (others suggested I should get my head tested!) Luckily, I was not falling apart but Nina has helped me in several ways- a better running posture, improved flexibility, balance and core strength. I don’t doubt that this was a big factor in completing a 100 miler and a double Ironman this year and to get there without injuries except a stubbed toe which was my fault. What was particularly good for me was that Nina designed the “out of clinic”exercises so that I could fit them around what else I was doing. I did them!.

I had a bad fall last summer and broke my arm and a bone in my foot. I also had a lot of soft tissue damage, I was generally shaken up physically and I was a bit traumatised. I could hardly get out of bed for days, and I was in a care home for three weeks. I don't know how I would have managed without Nina who came to visit me in the care home and later at my own house, and gave me so much badly-needed advice and encouragement at every stage of my recovery, right from the first finger movements through to getting on my feet again. I think her visits prevented the broken bits of me from getting stuck forever in the "never be the same again" position. Apart from the physical help and advice she gave me, Nina was so encouraging and compassionate and gave me a huge amount of reassurance and moral support. She sees you as a whole person, not just a patient with some broken bits. My family, who could not come and see me for months, felt very reassured that Nina was supporting me and keeping me on the right track, and they are as grateful to her as I am.

I met Nina almost 3 months after hip replacement surgery, with the added complications of scoliosis and sciatica on the other side. I found the recovery as mentally tough as it was hard physically. Nina's thoughtful approach to strengthening and stretching my back and legs is just what I need. We've used bands, balls, walls and a lot of humour each visit. I had some take-home work to do, and I've seen steady progress. It’s been invaluable. Thank you so much Nina.

"I am really enjoying Nina’s Pilates classes and already seeing good results in my core strength. Nina is a dedicated, experienced pilates instructor and physiotherapist. She is friendly yet professional and treats everyone as an individual in class.

"I just love my Pilates with Nina sessions - I always feel so good afterwards. She's so sensitive to everyone's individual problems and needs, provides alternative versions for each exercise.”

The physiotherapy-led classes led by Nina are a fantastic way to improve flexibility and mobility in a gentle and welcoming environment. All exercises are explained and demonstrated by Nina with options offered individually to adapt to all abilities. The classes are really uplifting and Nina leads with encouragement and a sense of fun, ensuring everyone feels included. I look forward to each class, learning new techniques every week and feel the sense of community within the group benefits more than just my physical well-being.

Nina is a highly skilled, thorough and empathetic physiotherapist.  Her warm personality, talent at reading each patient’s individual needs, and lovely sense of humour help one feel better even before she starts any treatment. Her Pilates classes are enormous fun as well as carefully planned. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I first met Nina late summer 2021 when I slipped a disc and had severe sciatic pain. She picked me off the floor (literally) when I was at my absolute low point and was unable to move. First off she immediately gave me comfort that I would recover and that this was temporary. Initially prior to my epidural she used light mobilisation techniques and some massage to stabilise the situation. Post epidural she then put together a carefully mapped out rehabilitation programme that started very slowly and then built over time. Focus was on building core strength through Pilates and stretching to get better flexibility. I am now well and truly back on my feet and much of that is thanks to Nina who has been fantastic from start to finish.

I’ve seen loads of physios over the years & for me, Nina stands out by "fixing the cause not just the symptom" - I’ve never experienced that before. As for her Pilates classes She offers "the personal attention & tailor made exercises" you don’t get in other classes.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so grateful that I found you as my physio. The injuries I had and the operations I went through were very tough on me and it made me realise that I had no control over my body or how it was supposed to function. After seeing you and doing the exercies you gave me, I started to feel what it was supposed to be like. Therefore when I started dancing after recovering from the second hip operation I felt aligned, in control and most importantly of all, without pain. I can even do things that I could never do before. You are wonderful. Keep shining and spreading your good mood to poor depressed dancers (and others of course). Again, thank you.

I love running, perhaps a bit too much! I came with an achilles injury caused by overtraining. It was swollen and hurt to walk, let alone run. The exercises and stretches Nina gave me were essential in helping me to recover quickly. She then analysed my running form, and showed me how to improve it. I now run faster and more efficiently, and this is definitely helping to prevent more injuries. I received fantastic support from Nina throughout my recovery. She is attentive, approachable and very committed.

I was diagnosed a few years ago with idiopathic periperal neuropathy in the feet which has the symptoms of loss of  foot sensation and balance, also affecting walking. I was recommended to see Nina Robinson where I was assessed and given exercise to improve the symptoms. These have amazingly increased sensation in the feet, improved my core stregth and balance and more noticeably, restored my ability to walk in a normal manner. I am more than grateful for these improvements.
