Nicholas Whimp

Nicholas has always been passionate about competitive sports, including Rugby Union, cricket, powerlifting, and athletics. After a lower back injury side-lined him, he recovered with the help of a physiotherapist, which inspired his career in physiotherapy. From thinking he may never return to sport and exercise, he has since run a half marathon and summited Mount Rinjani in Lombok, one of the highest and most active volcanoes in the Southern Hemisphere.

Nicholas specialises in:

• Strength assessments and functional analysis
• Running assessments
• Manual therapy (joint mobilisations, soft tissue mobilisation, and trigger point therapy)
• Tailored exercise rehabilitation programs

His approach combines manual therapy, which he uses to target the cause of the injury and to help reduce pain, with exercise rehabilitation to build long-term strength, stability, and injury prevention. Nicholas treats a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and neurological conditions, with special interest in neck and lower back related injuries, as well as sporting-related injuries.

Outside of work, Nicholas enjoys surfing, golf, and weight lifting, with plans to complete a triathlon in the next 12 months.
