Nikki Kelham
Physiotherapist
STOCKPORT
Summary
Hello, I’m Nikki, a Physiotherapist, a pilates instructor and strength training specialist with over 20 years experience in the NHS, health, fitness and wellness.
I love working with everyone from beginners starting their fitness journey to athletes looking to develop their strength and conditioning. I also really care about nagging injuries and chronic physical pain. Some of my best work is helping to improve these clients' quality of life.
Alongside this I specialise in women’s health; helping pregnant, post-natal and perimenopausal women with their forever changing bodies. Whether that be pelvic health, improving core strength or giving comprehensive rehab after having a baby.
At the core of everything I do is empowerment, helping the person I’m with to understand their body and take positive steps forward for their future health.
