Jonny Brownlee
“I have been fortunate to work with Oli for over 10 years. As an athlete, it’s important to be surrounded by people who have a positive impact on your career and Oli certainly provides this. His relaxed yet meticulous attitude is exactly what you need in a physio.
In recent years, Oli has helped me rehab from a femoral stress response and a calf tear. His thorough plan incorporated all the recent research and gave me the confidence that we were doing everything we could as a team to get me back to my best.
This year we have worked on a personalised strength program to avoid future injuries. Through Ollie’s testing protocol we have found where I need to focus my strength training. I love this proactive intervention. I know that by working with Ollie I will keep my training availability as high as possible and this will give me the best chance to achieve my goals.”

“It’s been a pleasure to work with Oli through my career! I’ve not been the easiest athlete, struggling with a few tricky injuries but Oli has always gone above and beyond to find me the best support and rehab plan to get me back on my feet and back to my best (sometimes on tight schedules)! Thank you for all your hours and all your brain power to help me achieve my childhood dreams!”

“I’ve worked with Oli over a 10 year period in both a clinical setting but also as our lead physio at many international races.
Oli has always been kind, knowledgeable and professional in both the good and bad moments that all athletes go through.
Oli’s greatest skills are his ability to diagnose weakness or injury and constructing rehab and prehab plans to both overcome, prevent and maximise performance.
Through my years of working with Oli I can say he is a true expert in his field and an asset to any athletes team - the expertise, reassuring voice and safe pair of hands we all need.”

“I was very fortunate to work with Oli for large parts of my career. Elite triathlon is incredibly demanding on the body, and on several occasions Oli got me back on my feet and racing at the highest level once again; including after what was thought to be career ending knee surgery.
Always willing to go the extra mile, Oli's commitment to solving the problem at hand, all the while doing it with a smile, kept me going through some of my toughest days as an elite athlete, and I'll always be grateful for the role he played within my team.”

“After undergoing a Jones fracture repair of my 5th metatarsal, I found myself uncertain about when and how I could return to the international running circuit. Working with Oli completely changed that outlook. From the very start, Oli’s approach was incredibly reassuring: he took the time to carry out detailed objective measures, ensuring that every stage of my recovery was clearly tracked. This evidence-based foundation allowed us to establish a criteria-led progression, ensuring I never advanced too quickly or held back unnecessarily.
Oli’s rehabilitation techniques rebuilt my strength, stability, and confidence. He crafted an easy-to-follow rehab and run plan that fitted seamlessly into my routine, making it simple to understand and implement. Oli’s expertise, careful guidance, and unwavering support were key to my successful return .”

“I was referred to Oli after a tibial stress fracture jeopardised my chance to represent GBR at the European 50K Champs—my first GB vest at the age of 43. From the beginning, Oli was honest about the challenges, clearly explaining the risks while committing to giving me the best chance to compete without compromising my long-term health. His transparency stood out; too many physios tell runners what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear.
Oli took a collaborative approach, working closely with SEM Dr’s, coach’s, and other specialists to create and oversee a tailored rehab plan. This process required patience and trust, but Oli supported me every step of the way, blending hands-on treatment, gym rehab, and regular check-ins to adapt the plan as needed.
Thanks to his expertise, I made it to the start line and finished as part of the GB squad that won Team Gold. Since then, Oli has guided me through other injuries. There’s no one else I would trust to go to with my running injuries anymore. Top physio and top human.”
