I confidently recommend Nelly as a very competent, skilled and empathetic physio. I came to see Nelly when I was in the throes of a nerve condition and was unable to hardly move my neck, work, or effectively care for my three children. I was feeling very desperate and low. After seeing a few other health practitioners who were kind but not very helpful, I drove an hour to see Nelly because I heard that the Connect Theory she practised in might be helpful for what I thought I had – Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Immediately Nelly was able to expertly assess my condition. She listened attentively to my whole story, and really considered all the different pieces of my work and home history that had contributed to my condition. I still remember how much relief I felt after the first day when she said that she thought she could help me find healing. She treated me for one year before going on maternity leave. Seeing Nelly regularly, I found a healing journey with relief through her expert IMS, her hands-on releasing, her supportive conversation and questions, the exercises in clinic and at home, and her humour and kindness. Healing from complex pain is indeed a very complex process, but I have had so much more confidence and less despair in the hands of such a capable and compassionate practitioner.
