Nico is a Licensed Physiotherapist with a Master of Science in Physiotherapy and over six years of clinical experience. He has developed a strong specialized focus in the assessment and treatment of hip, knee, and shoulder conditions, with extensive experience supporting individuals living with osteoarthritis. Nicolai is passionate about helping people move better, stay active, and feel confident in their bodies at every stage of life.

prior to his current role, Nicolai worked as an Advanced Practice Physiotherapist within a specialized hip and knee surgical assessment program, collaborating closely with orthopedic surgeons.

In this role, he assessed complex joint conditions, reviewed diagnostic imaging, and guided patients through evidence-based care pathways — including conservative management, injection referrals, and surgical readiness planning.

Beyond sports and joint-related injuries, Nico offers specialized expertise in the treatment of vertigo (including BPPV) and concussion care. As a certified Level 2 practitioner with Shift Concussion and additionally certified through Complete Concussion Management, he delivers comprehensive, evidence-based care designed to support a safe, confident return to sport, work, and daily life..

Nico takes a comprehensive, patient-centered approach—starting with an in-depth assessment to uncover the root cause of symptoms, followed by tailored education and individualized exercise programming designed around each patient’s goals, lifestyle, and functional demands, complemented by manual therapy for pain relief.

Having personally experienced multiple knee, hip, shoulder, and back injuries, Nicolai understands firsthand the physical and psychological challenges of recovery. This perspective shapes his empathetic, practical approach and strengthens his commitment to helping patients return to the activities they value most. Outside the clinic, you’ll likely find Nicolai hiking local trails, playing soccer, or embracing his inner movie enthusiast. He is dedicated to building strong therapeutic relationships and fostering a supportive, motivating environment where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

First time appointment today with RMT Taylor. I was very impressed; she took the time to review and assess my needs. Very friendly, polite, professional, knowledgeable and… a great sense of humour. Their facility is overly exceptionally clean. They take the Covid protocol very seriously hence I feel very comfortable going there. It’s only been approximately two months since I starting attending Moveo, but it feels like I have been going there for years.

I love going here for my Physio! Georgina is very accommodating and welcoming with a big smile. Rob is very smart, knows his craft and bonus he is actually funny. I have seen so many physio but so far he is the “BEST”!! . I highly recommend Moveo.

This clinic is top notch. I’ve had both RMT and physio treatments at this location. Rob (PT) is very thorough, friendly, knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor (the accent is dodgy 😉 ! Megan (RMT) is fabulous – her technique is great and she has a very caring approach. The receptionist, Georgina, is lovely,…very friendly and welcoming. The clinic is bright, clean, and has top of the line equipment. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for treatments.

Excellent clinic. From the moment you walk in, to the moment you step out the door you will have nothing but a positive experience. My daughter and I see Richard one of the RMT’s and he is incredible. Extremely knowledgeable in way of injury rehabilitation! I have recommended many people to Richard and they have all had great experiences.

I have been fortunate enough to be receiving well needed Physio treatments from Rob. He is totally amazing, very knowledgeable, up on all the latest techniques, and professional to name a few attributes. Another employee with a great sense of humour!! Rob incorporates a variety of treatments that are specifically geared to whatever is needed to enhance one’s healing.

I’ve been seeing Dr Turner for years and there isn’t anyone else I would trust more with my health. This is a fantastic facility with very helpful front end staff that.

Physiotherapist Rob is amazing. He accurately assessed my injury & PT need, then developed a successful plan that led to a full recovery.
