Nicole is trained and has experience in treating vestibular, neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
Nicole is a Vestibular/Neurological Senior Physiotherapist at Core Concepts Group. She is experienced in the assessment and treatment of vestibular and neurological conditions with six years of experience in Tan Tock Seng Hospital’s neurological team in a variety of settings, inpatient, intensive care unit outpatient and the emergency department, which include musculoskeletal, orthopaedics, cardiopulmonary disciplinaries.
At Core Concepts, Nicole strives for a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach when working with clients to help pinpoint and manage problems with dizziness, balance and functional issues, where even the mildest case can affect individuals unknowingly in their daily activities with a higher risk of falls and reduced mobility.
Nicole also has special interests in vestibular migraine and traumatic brain injury conditions. Her current passion is raising awareness, educating the vestibular community, and empowering clients and the public to take control of their dizziness and regain their balance, movement, and quality of life.
Our team is experienced in treating most cases related to the neurological or vestibular system such as the ones below. Other conditions we can see include Cranial traumas, Brain tumours, Vestibular neuronitis and more.
For Stroke Patients, the focus will be on improving mobility, function, and independence through gait training, functional rehabilitation, and motor relearning techniques. Physiotherapists also address balance, coordination, and spasticity management while providing education and support to stroke survivors and their caregivers.
Vestibular Physiotherapy treatment is an effective way to resolve disorders like BPPV. Medications may only reduce the symptoms of nausea and vomiting, but they are not effective in treating the root cause. Physiotherapy treatment includes repositioning manoeuvres to relieve the symptoms of BPPV. Your head will be placed at different movements and angles to move the otoconia from your semicircular canals back into the otolith organs in your ear.
Physiotherapists begin treatment by evaluating their clients’ physical capabilities, establishing rehabilitation goals, and crafting individualised exercise plans. They emphasise improving mobility, balance, fall prevention, and gait retraining. Through personalised interventions and continuous support, physiotherapists assist Parkinson’s disease clients in maximising their physical potential and sustaining independence in everyday activities.
