Nicola Tyler - Dip Phty, MNZSP
Nicola Tyler trained and worked as a physiotherapist before doing post graduate training to specialize in musculoskeletal work. She then ran her own physiotherapy practice for twelve years. During this time Nicola became more interested in preventative health care and started practising Pilates herself.

This led her to a more preventative, holistic and educative role as a Pilates Instructor. With years of experience treating a wide range of problems as a physiotherapist Nicola embraced the total system of Pilates. Nicola trained and qualified with Polestar International and worked in a Pilates studio for three years before starting the physio pilates studio in Grafton in 2003. Her physiotherapy background and musculoskeletal expertise brings a depth of knowledge to her teaching.

Nicola teaches a wide variety of people, but specializes in teaching those rehabilitating from injuries or chronic musculoskeletal problems. She also has a following of loyal clients who have been coming to her for years. Nicola finds the rewards of facilitating people to find better awareness and movement in their bodies through doing Pilates very rewarding.

Nicola has been to several international Pilates conferences and enjoys the stimulation of learning from Pilates teachers from all around the world. She also finds it very stimulating to work alongside and share ideas with the committed team at the physio pilates studio.
