Writing about injuries, treatment and assessment techniques, case studies, and anything that seems relevant and newsworthy! If you have anything I have not yet written about but that you would like to read my opinion on, then please email admin@nellmead.com and ask!
This week, we explore the science behind the hormones of acute and chronic stress – adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol. How do they work, when do they help us – and when do they become a problem?
Get back on track with our new online programme, Yoga for Stressed People! Learn why and how we get stressed, the consequences of stress taking over your life, and strategies for controlling it – including an easy yoga sequence and mood tracker. Plus a 75% discount when you use the code EARLYBIRD.
This week it’s time to look at exercise rehabilitation – the all-too-often missing link between finishing physio, and getting back to everyday life. So what is it, and why do we place so much emphasis on it, at Victory?
Here at Victory, we don’t just look at the bit that hurts. Instead, the physios at Victory play “detective”, to work out the underlying cause of your problem, starting with a 90 minute assessment to find out what’s really going on with your body and work out a plan of action…
Why do we place so much emphasis on the Foundation Layer of the Health & Performance Pyramid? Two reasons: systemic inflammation and metabolic efficiency…
The Health & Performance Pyramid underpins all the work we do at Victory and is our diagrammatic representation of how your health works. Get the building blocks in place to achieve normal, pain-free function.
Once again writing about how to control chronic inflammation, this week Nell explores the benefits of super greens drinks (spoiler: she has one every morning before work)
As more of us take up office work or desk jobs, the number of ‘chair shaped’ people is rising fast. This can lead to stiff, sore muscles and a higher risk of injury – so how can you solve it?
We often get asked about insurance – is it worth having? Do we accept it in clinic? And who do we work with? All the answers in this week’s blog…
As used by England rugby heroes including Jonny Wilkinson, Martin Bayfield and James Haskell, R5 Aminos help to control inflammation and speed up recovery after training or injury.
Some physiotherapists think the clamshell exercise shouldn’t be taught – but Nell feels it’s fundamental for people with hip problems, so why is it so vilified?
Do you have a dodgy hip like Andy Murray’s? Nell explains how to look after hips.

Due to the “London lockdown” I have had no alternative but to close the doors to my new clinic. I will be constantly reviewing all government updates and will let you know as soon as anything changes.
The good news is that, although the treatment room has had to close, this doesn’t mean that treatment has to stop.
It is really important all my patients do not lose momentum in their recoveries and I am glad to say I have a number of solutions to ensure I can carry on providing the best treatment possible:
