Nick Nyman – Physiotherapist

I am passionate about advancing people’s health and function to get the most out of life in every way possible. Whether it’s elite level sport or weekend gardening, I can enable you to achieve and surpass your goals.

I assess the whole body & person to determine the exact cause of pain to ease symptoms and create a plan to prevent recurrence of the problem. I utilise a range of hands on techniques, dry needling, lifestyle advice, exercise rehabilitation and pilates-based treatments to ensure you can get back to what you love as quickly as possible. In 2021 I will be commencing my Masters of Clinical Physiotherapy to further expand my toolbox and ensure that I continue to offer the latest in evidence-based care.

I am an active sportsman and play high level Hockey for UWA hockey club as well as social tennis, lawn bowls, jogging and kiteboarding. I understand the demands of sport and I like to tailor your rehabilitation around your specific sporting needs.

I have been fortunate in my early career to work hand-in-hand with some of Perth’s top orthopaedic surgeons. As a result, I am especially experienced at pre & post-operative rehabilitation, as well as preventative rehabilitation. I love providing second opinions to try to offer solutions for your pain without the need to go under the knife.

Areas of special interest:

Pre & post-operative rehabilitation – shoulders, knees, hip
Chronic & persistent pain
Spinal / back pain
Whiplash & headaches
Tendon pain – tennis elbow, achilles pain, shoulder pain
Sporting injuries – hockey, tennis, running, water sports
Exercise rehabilitation
Dry needling
