Helen is a clinical dietician, and an accredited Sports and Nutrition dietician. She provides all our input in terms of diet, sports nutrition and weight management. She has worked both for the NHS and privately as a dietician for the last 16 years, and practices in Norfolk and London. In 2006 she extended her skills with an MSc in the psychological approaches to health management.

How you move, what you eat, and how you feel about this, are 3 main contributors to a healthy lifestyle.

Nikki qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist in 1991 and specialises in movement analysis and the mechanisms that produce movement; she teaches nationally on the subject. For the last six years she has been studying the long-term physical and emotional benefits of exercise. Her private rehabilitation clinic and gym near Hurstpierpoint has been operating for 12 years. Nikki's rehab work has been predominantly with neurologically impaired patients and her own initiative she began investigating how other areas of "training" could contribute to neuro-rehab. She began working with Bob to extend her knowledge of screening and function, also became certified in Strength and Conditioning and studied other movement educators. Over the last few years she has refined this knowledge into her educational system and courses… "Neurofit". Bob lectures on the Neurofit programme, and Nikki brings to Physical Solutions a different and valuable perspective on movement analysis and improvement.
