Welcome to NT Sports Therapy Manchester
14 years of experience. Thousands of happy clients.
Our Manchester-based therapy team brings together sports therapists, nurses, counsellors and wellbeing specialists to offer a completely tailored approach to health.
Some injuries and concerns require a couple of clicks, stretches and an “OOF” or two. But most people have underlying issues that contribute to/trigger their symptoms.
Whatever your body needs, we provide.
Let us tell you more about how we work…
The NT Sports Therapy Story
Nikolay pursued this passion in 2010. Honourably inspired by his mother, who is a nurse.
Becoming a sports therapist was a happy accident – sparked by one of his handyman colleagues opening a Hijama (cupping) clinic and inviting Nik to join the team. He was hesitant at first, having no experience in healthcare.
But if you know Nik, you’ll know he’s always up for a new challenge. Good job he did, or there would be thousands of people in Manchester with aches and pains!
Nik qualified as a holistic therapist from Altrincham College, where he mastered the art of holistic therapy and reflexology. He got a taste for this career and wanted to learn more.
By 2019, he graduated from Active Health Group as an Advanced Clinical Sports Therapist (Level 6). Here, he also learned modalities such as myofascial release, postural corrective techniques and medical acupuncture. And now he’s doing a diploma course on teaching and education, and training as a health coach.
He went from Nikolay the handyman to Nikolay the Sports Therapist, Health Coach, Pilates Instructor, Biomechanics & Movement Specialist…and counting
Fast forward to 2025, Nik recognised the need for a blended approach. No two bodies are the same. Some concerns need more than a sports massage alone.
Because of this, we adopted a blended approach.
Your Wellbeing, Our Blended Approach
Most physical pain represents our emotional, physical and spiritual state.
Of course, a sprained wrist could be from gripping and swinging your golf club too harshly. That’s an obvious trigger. However, repeated symptoms and aches and pains indicate other concerns.
Nik has become a master of identifying both metaphysical and esoteric imbalances. It’s in the way people sit, talk, their gait, how they express their thoughts and even the balance of feminine and masculine energy.
So, since March 2025, Nik has collaborated with other health and wellbeing experts to provide a whole-body approach to wellbeing. We believe that rehabilitation plans should treat the whole person, addressing the root issue.
Our client rehabilitation plans are deeply informed and carefully tailored to greatly improve the quality of life.

How Our Work Looks in Action
We know our multi-disciplinary approach isn’t very common, so here’s how it looks in action:
Sports Therapy & Biomechanics
A weightlifter came in with neck tension and tight shoulders that flare up after training. Nikolay assesses their lifting technique and posture, noticing that form and muscle imbalance are straining the upper traps and neck muscles. Sports massage and corrective exercise (injury rehabilitation) relieve the immediate tension and support better alignment.
Phlebotomy
The blood tests confirmed that low magnesium and vitamin D were contributing to chronic muscle tightness and poor recovery.
Counselling
People “carry stress” in their shoulders. Talking therapy helped uncover the emotional patterns that led to this stiffness in the first place.
