ANDREW NICHOLETTOS
COACH, ATHLETICS ACADEMY
Hi, my name is Andrew Nicholettos. I am an osteopath, with additional qualifications in sport medicine, strength and conditioning and clinical exercise prescription. I have worked as an osteopath for 9 years in private and NHS settings, and have worked as an extended scope practitioner where I specialised in the management of persistent shoulder, spine and knee pain.
I have worked in a number of elite sports settings; more recently I have focussed my attention on athletics. My aim is to provide athletes with a thorough injury management and prevention plan, that is well reasoned, supported by mature science, and understood by the wider athletic community.
