Wendy Skinner
Co-Founder
Wendy also owns and runs an aquatic physiotherapy facility, and she is passionate about the importance of early intervention. Wendy brings her expertise to Online Physio helping you with exercises and top tips that you can perform in your home, local pool and gym.
Wendy also has strong links with many of the top local orthopaedic surgeons and with their input, has developed treatment pathways to ensure that the best possible outcome is achieved for all orthopaedic patients. There are many patients who have had successful surgery to repair a ligament, tendon or fracture and are then left for 6 weeks to heal with the same exercises and instructions. Wendy believes all patients undergoing surgery should have access to the highest quality rehabilitation programs as some of the top athletes who undergo similar procedures.
Wendy’s path to helping set up Online Physio has come from a belief that the reason some people are more successful in rehab is that they take control of their destiny; they make goals and follow a program in order to achieve their goals. So often people have good intentions but occasionally need guidance and motivation to keep on track.
Michael Nicol
Co-Founder
Michael has worked in elite sport, private practice and was also a Senior Lecturer at St Mary’s University. Throughout his career, Michael has been lucky to have worked with a large number of runners, from recreational to elite, which is where he has developed his main area of expertise.
This came initially from his role at The Running School in London, where he became an expert in correcting running technique. From there during his time as a Senior Lecturer at St Mary’s he worked clinically at The St Mary’s clinic where he worked with a number of elite endurance runners at their nationally recognised Elite Performance and Coaching Centre (EPACC). After this Michael worked at Synergy Physiotherapy in Surrey where runners made up a large percentage of the client base and he was able to combine his knowledge of coaching running technique and physiotherapy to help recreational runners achieve their goals.
He also has a strong interest in injury prevention. This interest came from his role as a Performance Matrix tutor where he has had the privilege to teach CPD courses to Physio and Rehab Specialists throughout Europe.
Michael’s desire to set up Online Physio has come from a belief that quality physiotherapy care should be accessible for everyone, from any part of the world and at a price that provides value for money.
