Total Knee Replacement My rehab physiotherapy was with Matt Thorp. I had struggled with muscular and flexibility issues following the operation. Under Matt's guidance, we increased flexibility and muscle tone with the end goal of getting back to cycling. When I started with Matt I could not turn the pedals without severe pain. After expert guidance and hard work I am now back on the bike and have just returned from a cycling trip to Majorca. I rode 5 consecutive days with over 240m mile and 10,500 feet of climbing in the mountains. In my experience, I would highly recommend Matt to give you the guidance, massages and exercises for rehab after surgery with very positive outcomes.

Matt was amazing when I picked up an injury whilst DEKA and half marathon training. The advice, strengthening exercises, patience and care i recieved was second to none! I highly recommend booking with matt, the acupuncture sessions were brilliant too. I went from hobbling to completing a half marathon within 10 weeks with his excellent care and guidance.....Thanks again!

I'd been suffering with shoulder pain for years and did the usual trips to the doctors but that didn't help and I kept hoping the pain would just go but of course it didn't & then I was recommended Olton Health & Performance by a friend. I saw Rosi and she did and ultra sound scan and assessment and soon came to the conclusion that I'd torn my rotator cuff and told me to get an MRI. I went for a private MRI and this confirmed the tear. From there I went for an operation and then more visits to Rosi and she did more ultra sounds and see how it was healing. I am still in recovery and Rosi has helped me with rehabilitation exercises which I have to say were far better than the physio's at the hospital! Without Rosi I doubt I would have got the operation and would still have shoulder pain now. Her approach and experience is second to none!!! Cannot thank her enough!

Rosi is amazing! I first saw her in 2023 for hip pain and she put my worried mind at ease. I recently had neck pain and the doctor suggested I should see an Osteopath, which I knew straight away to go back and see Rosi! Rosi creates such a safe space and welcoming environment, she takes the time to listen and understand. I always feel heard and not rushed when going through the exercises and discussing the treatment plan. She is very professional, friendly and trustworthy - I highly recommend her to anyone!

One of the most thorough, friendly and welcoming physio experiences I have ever had. Rosi and team clearly put the person first and that shows in their work. Very grateful for their help and looking forward to being back

I have been attending the Olton clinic for about a year and it no exaggeration to say it has been life changing. As someone who has hyper mobility, I have tried a lot of things and was starting to believe that it is what is. However, since attending Rosi’s clinic, I no longer get the pain I had become used to after exercise and I have a lot more faith in my joints. Rosi’s patience and determination to find something that works is something I will always be grateful for and results mean I can do the sports I love with more confidence. It can be nerve wracking trying a new clinic, especially if you have tried a lot before, but I can wholeheartedly recommend Rosi’s clinic at Olton.

I have had several massage therapy sessions after initially seeing Matt Thorp for physiotherapy. Matt is friendly, welcoming and very professional. As a PT myself, it’s reassuring being treated by someone who is very knowledgeable in their field. I would absolutely recommend Matt to my clients & will continue receiving treatment from him whenever needed. Overall the clinic has a very welcoming vibe.

I’ve seen Rosi a number of times now. I really look forward to seeing her, her expertise and sense of care is exceptional which means I am left feeling heard and understood but also with rehab that I can implement easily into my life to create long term change.

Jessica JannemanGoogle review · 5 months ago

Just came out of my appointment with Rosi and I’m feeling emotional. After extensive time with chronic pain, you end up convincing yourself of the worst sometimes. Yet after my session, where things were approached with curiosity and a non-pressuring ‘let’s try this’ approach, I actually feel like I have hope going forwards. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Saw Rosi in mid-November with a bouldering -related finger injury. She did an ultrasound, diagnosed a partial pulley tear, and explained everything clearly and simply (and even emailed me a copy of the scans as a souvenir). I was given a straightforward rehab plan that let me keep training (sensibly). I was back on harder climbing problems by late December and recovered by the end of January. Note: I’ve also been using the same training plan on my uninjured hand and feel stronger overall. Cheers Rosi!

David ShepherdGoogle review · 7 months ago

Rosi was so accommodating with her time and managed to get me in same day for an ultrasound. On top of that, diagnosed the problem within an hour and offered advice and ongoing support for treatment. Amazing. Thank you so much Rosi, I would 100% recommend.

Perfect experience. Both Rosi and Matt were highly skilled professionals who helped me get rid of my back pain. I went to numerous other physios however the help they gave me was ineffective. Rosi had given me a simple yet effective set of exercises which helped me dramatically. Would 100% recommend and worth the money.

Matt at Olton health is very professional and his knowledge is second to none can totally recommend him

James CullineyGoogle review · 10 months ago

Rosi was super helpful with thoroughly looking at my knee and advising where my knee problems likely were. She also guided me and gave me a solid plan with exercises I can do to help. Another thing which was really helpful (but I wasn't expecting going in) was that Rosi helped me to adjust my mindset regarding my participation in an upcoming race with my injured knee. It was clear that Rosi was focused on my physical rehabilitation above all else, and I will certainly be back should I kneed to seek further advice!

Yusuf VarsaniGoogle review · 10 months ago

Having been before Rosie fixed my back problem and currently with my left shoulder after seeing a different osteopath because of when I was free with bookings I can honestly say I wish I didn’t bother with anyone else as Rosie is so professional so informative and I already know with her help and mine my shoulder will be back to full health in no time 100% recommended!

Kieran GordonGoogle review · 11 months ago

Rosi is so knowledgeable and builds a great relationship with her clients. I always know she will be able to help with her skill and kindness. I would recommend Rosi to anyone.

Tracey BraggFacebook review · 11 months ago

I recently had a sports massage from Matt to help with the soft tissue problem in my back and elevated unnecessary pain and helped me back to full function. Thanks again and totally recommend. Will be having regular massages in the future

Mark AlderGoogle review · 11 months ago

I took my son to the clinic, and we had an excellent experience ! The time put in by Ross to understand and examine his symptoms and problem was very thorough. Rosie's expertise and care made a big difference in helping my son in his recovery. Highly recommend!"

Rebekha KhanGoogle review · a year ago

What a refreshing experience. From the very first appointment Rosi was clear her goal was to get me back on my feet and equipped with exercises to stop the problem recurring. With a philosophy essentially of making herself redundant for each injury, Rosi provides hands on interventions alongside exercises and advice. Needless to say I have been back several times - but each time for a new complaint as Rosi’s support and advice have given me long term fixes every time. Highly recommend.

Had treatment from Rihanna on my back and neck, I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in pain. She quickly sorted me out. I would have no hesitation in seeing her again.
