Report
Nycky started working with my troublesome terrier Wombat after a tendon injury. We'd tried shockwave therapy with a specialist with mild improvement, but it was sessions with Nycky that seemed to do the most. He's now sound and winding down his physio after an injury that had him on lead walks for months. He really enjoyed his sessions with Nycky, who's been brilliant with him. This morning, as all mornings, he went for a run. As a vet, it's great to see first hand the level of knowledge and quality of care that Nycky provides, and I'll be happy to keep referring cases to her.

Report
I've used Nycky to help my Agility dog this year. Well I was a bit surprised at what a physio could achieve with a dog, but have to say I wish I'd done this earlier in my dog's career (and of course in hindsight his predecessors!!). Since our treatment Kaz has become much stronger on the turns, and more confident on the downside of the A-frames and Seesaws. I will definitely be getting Nycky to MOT Kaz on a regular basis to keep him on top form for the season.
