Hi, I'm Nell, a physiotherapist working in London, in my own practice which is called Victory Health & Performance. I'm a specialist in the Sarah Key Method, which is an advanced system of assessment and treatment for musculoskeletal injuries, particularly back and neck problems. I use my feet to treat my patients, partly because this means I can use more pressure (and thus get results more quickly), but also because it feels more comfortable for the patients as I'm using a larger surface area (heel compared to thumbs) to deliver the treatment. I really love my job and wouldn't do anything else.

When I'm not fixing people, I play a lot of tennis. I was in the Army as a physiotherapist for 10 years and won 20 titles at the Army championships (including the ladies' singles 7 times) and still play competitively. My last Army posting was to Cyprus where I ended up as the physiotherapist for the Cyprus Davis Cup team, which was an awesome experience; and I also got my dog there, a former stray mutt called Feta.
