Olymia Physiotherapy: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I went to see Ryan as I had a painful knee. He listened and assessed, he is highly trained, very knowledgable and professional. He created a personal exercise plan for me so I can continue exercising at home. During my sessions we did some work in the gym where he is based, which was an additional bonus. I have completed my sessions with him, but he will answer any queries I have going forward. 100% recommend this very personable physiotherapist.
Fantastic experience: Ryan played an important role in my recovery after rupturing my Achilles. His expertise is second to none, but what really stood out was his focus on performance based milestones rather than focusing on fixed timeframes. Every stage of rehab felt purposeful, ensuring I progressed steadily and safely. I'd highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking to get back on track after an injury.
Fantastic experience: Ryan and the team did an amazing job piecing my knees back together. Injury was fully assessed, then a range of exercises built to suit my needs. A plan to return to fitness was put together giving me enough time to train and build fitness back up to compete again Ryan checked in on my throughout my rehabilitation and even checked on me weeks afterwards. Ryan really knows his stuff and I'm so glad I went to see him, would not hesitate in recommending him and the team to anyone
Fantastic experience: Ryan has been amazing. He helped clear up a knee and shoulder issue I was experiencing. His guidance and instructions were clear which I found very helpful. I would highly recommend him for any of your aches and pains.
Fantastic experience: Ryan White brilliant therapist. My daughter (14 years) got tail bone pain / coccyx. After couple of visits and prescribed exercises my daughter felt much better. During the summer she was following Ryans physio and managed to heal. 100%
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! From the very first session, I felt completely at ease and confident that I was in expert hands. Ryan’s knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care was brilliant. I have absolutely no problem with recommending him to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Ryan is one of the best physiotherapists I've had the pleasure of meeting. I went in with a knee issue, and later on some shoulder pain. The mix of hands on treatment and follow up home/gym exercises not only helped my recovery, but also led to increased performance in my running, which I'm chuffed with. As well as his professionalism, Ryan is also a great guy and clearly very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service from Ryan, both in terms of recovery outcomes and his professional manner. My child sustained a football-related ankle and knee injury, and Ryan carried out a thorough assessment before outlining a clear treatment plan. The focus was on healing and building strength to reduce the risk of future problems. He also provided helpful exercise videos to support progress between sessions. I was especially impressed by Ryan’s ability to connect with young people—he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and kept my child motivated. If any family or friends need a physio in the future, I would highly recommend Ryan.
Fantastic experience: I have suffered with my knees for quite some time now and the exercises given to me by Olymia, specifically Ryan, have helped me enormously. I'm able to do so much more with little to no pain, whereas before a simple train journey would have been painful. Thanks Ryan
Fantastic experience: My daughter has been to see Ryan at Olymia Physiotherapy for 2 different injuries now, her shoulder and her knee. Ryan is very friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable. My daughter was given specific exercises to help with her injuries and not only is she now pain free but she has gained a lot more strength as she continues to use the exercises as part of her conditioning training. We would definitely recommend Ryan.
Fantastic experience: Ryan at Olymia was professional and swift in his diagnosis on myself. Finding the root cause and beginning a course of treatment suited to not only my rehabilitation, but my personal / work life. His understanding was second to none and I couldn’t recommend him more.
Fantastic experience: Ryan goes out of his way to not only treat your injury but also help you reach your fitness goals!
Fantastic experience: I recently visited Ryan after experiencing pain in my calf, and as a runner, my initial concern was that it might be a serious injury. However, after my first session with Ryan, I gained a clear understanding of the issue. He diagnosed it as a low-grade strain and provided a comprehensive overview of what I could and couldn't do to aid my recovery. Ryan not only explained how to treat the injury but also developed a detailed rehabilitation plan, complete with demonstrations of each exercise. His knowledge, professionalism, and friendly, empathetic approach made the entire process smooth and reassuring. I highly recommend Ryan. His expertise and personable manner truly stand out, and I am confident in recommending his services without hesitation.
Fantastic experience: I visited Ryan for a persistent ankle sprain, we worked out a collaborative approach in terms of what my aims were vs what is achievable, across my 3 visits we gradually increased the intensity of the program and the portal with the tailored exercises for me to do in my own time was very user-friendly (rather than just being given a few YouTube links). A pleasure to deal with and I would not hesitate to recommend to others. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Ryan was a great assist in my return to running. Always positive and always supportive. Well balanced exercises taking my capabilities into account and clear explanation and demonstration of how they should be done. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Ryan is incredibly knowledgable. I went in with a pretty bad knee after a kneecap dislocation and torn ligaments, and within a few weeks I'd improved an immense amount. Really knows his stuff!
Fantastic experience: Ryan is professional, caring and dedicated. My physio sessions resulted in my sciatica improving immensely. He has offered ongoing support if needed. I have already recommended him to colleagues and would continue to do so for family and friends. Thank you Ryan!
Fantastic experience: I have been to Olymia Physiotherapy for my foot pain. Ryan has treated me very well and helped me gain strength in my foot and leg at the end of my sessions. He is very knowledgeable, listens to us regarding our questions and is very friendly.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to multiple physios over the years & never been properly diagnosed or treated….Until I met Ryan, he’s very welcoming & excellent at explaining the issues & how to resolve them. I’d had dreadful knees/ankles for years that was becoming debilitating, struggling in the morning & fully looking into stopping sport because of the pain. After, seeing Ryan & getting the right treatment it’s fully changed my life (not even exaggerating) Ankle pains fully gone & knees are 90% there. Back playing more sport than ever before. Would highly recommend him to anyone!!!
Fantastic experience: I recently visited Olympia Physiotherapy for treatment for my back pain, and the experience was amazing! Ryan was exceptional—very professional, always on time, and incredibly kind. He has a great personality, which made each session comfortable and positive. Ryan provided me with useful tips and exercises that have been instrumental in my recovery. His expertise and attentiveness truly stood out. I highly recommend Ryan and the team at Olympia Physiotherapy for anyone in need of effective, personalized care. Thank you for the excellent service!
Fantastic experience: I'm very happy with the results and guidance I received from Ryan Whiting at Olymia physio therapy to manage my knee pain which is the result of a trochlear dysplasia and a potential meniscus tear. Ryan took enough time to explain the issue and plan for recovery in a thorough way that I could understand and developed exercise plans that suits my lifestyle. I could do them at home since I don't go to the gym. At the end of about 10-12 weeks there was measurable difference in the strengths in different parts of my leg which was very reassuring to see. I'd highly recommend Olymia and Ryan for professional service and conservative yet result oriented approach to manage injuries or chronic pains.
Fantastic experience: I had been dealing with lingering neck pain and decided to reach out to Olympia Physiotherapy, where I was treated by Ryan. He was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, taking the time to understand my specific issues and tailoring a plan that has really helped. Thanks to his expertise, my neck pain has significantly improved. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of effective physiotherapy!
Fantastic experience: Great services. Ryan is amazing. He understands the core problems, and works the best ways to get them fixed. I will surely be a return customer for my issues. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Ryan is so professional and an excellent physiotherapist. I would not have recovered so well from my ankle injury without his advice & expertise on a tailored exercise programme. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs physio, he really is the best.
Fantastic experience: Ryan regularly fixes me after sporting mishaps, great service.
Fantastic experience: Ryan was very detailed in his prognosis and created a tailored programme to help me recover. Had a seperate injury setback during recovery and Ryan was able to alter the programme. Was back playing in 3 months after an initial Adductor injury followed by an ACL injury. Very knowledgable and explains things in great detail to help you gain a better understanding.
Fantastic experience: Ryan is a very capable and knowledgeable Physiotherapist. He has a fantastic way working with his clients, particularly with my 8 year old daughter who was always looking forward to her sessions. I am very grateful for the treatment we received as well as some excellent information for preventative treatment moving forward.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone. Ryan is very professional, knowledgeable and has a very caring nature especially towards youngsters. I took my 8yr old daughter to Ryan when she had an injury from gymnastics, she felt very at ease after feeling a bit nervous about what would happen within the appointment. Ryan explained the entire process to my daughter in a way that she understood. My daughters injury healed very well.
Fantastic experience: I recently completed physiotherapy treatment here, and it was exceptional. Ryan is professional and attentive. Each session was thorough, with a mix of manual therapy and targeted exercises that led to a significant improvement in my condition. The facility was clean, modern, and well-equipped, and the staff was friendly and supportive. Thanks to Ryan expertise, I've regained my strength and mobility beyond my expectations. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional, knowledgeable. And most importantly, helped me get from a knee injury that kept me from running at all back to 10k in just a few weeks.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Ryan I am back to enjoying normal activities after the reoccurrence of a frozen shoulder. Ryan was efficient and professional and put me at ease.
Thank you Rosemary, much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of being treated by Ryan, and I couldn't be more grateful for his kindness and expertise. After suffering a leg injury, his thoughtful exercises and guidance not only helped me recover but also made me feel better overall. Thank you for your dedication to your patients' well-being! Your patient nawal.
Thank you for your review Nawal. If you have any issues in the future please feel free to contact me. Thank you once again, Ryan
Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Ryan when I questioned the discomfort being experienced in both my knees. Professional, polite and friendly was my first impression. He examined, assessed and treated me over five sessions with a clear vision and end goal. I though this was just old age creeping up and possibly something I'd learn to live with, but with a simple exercise plan and Ryan's care I'm now back to full fitness. Thank you.
Thank you for your review Tim. If you have any issues in the future please feel free to contact me. All the best, Ryan

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience today. Some immediate relief for my neck pain and Ryan was very thorough in his exercises, explanations and process. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I first went to visit Ryan after I started experiencing leg pain while running. Ryan was did a thorough check up, made a diagnosis and then gave me a tailored training plan to get back in to running pain free.

Fantastic experience: Ryan was so thorough and took time to really get to know my son (13) and how the injury would impact his sport. He gave detailed explanations, to both him and parents, no question was too much trouble. Ryan's knowledge was amazing and he gave super support as to what we could do at home to manage the injury, as well as give him 1:1 focus within the clinic to get him back to playing sport as quickly, but as safely, as possible. We would always use Ryan for sporting injuries.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Ryan White Extremely professional caring approach. Very Supportive and Offers home visits.
Fantastic experience: Ryan is very thorough. The exercises are sent via an app with clear instructions on how to do them and my son was fit and able to compete after injury much sooner than we imagined thanks to Ryan’s help and advice. Extremely pleased with the service provided
Thank you for your review Corinna. All the best, Ryan
Fantastic experience: My kids had a couple of serious injuries in 2023 and so we saw Ryan for a few months for physio treatment. Both made a full and fast recovery under his excellent guidance and following his exercises. Working with Ryan was an absolute joy, his professional attitude and nurturing temperament made every session beneficial and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Ryan's services. Thank you again!
Thank you for your review Rob. If you or your family have any issues in the future please feel free to contact me. All the best, Ryan

Fantastic experience: My name is gill little and I had a new knee end of January 23 I was pain still in July so asked for Ryan’s help. within a few short weeks with his help and advice I was more mobile and pain free.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant. Ryan is such a lovely person. Kind, empathetic, knowledgable, listens, supportive & totally professional. Added to all that, I feel better each time after seeing him. If you need a physio then just get down to Olymia/Ryan - I don’t know anyone better. I love going so much I just make appointments & decide what needs working on when I get there . He’s helped me so so much - thank you Ryan x
Fantastic experience: Excellent. Very thankful for there help. I hobbled in fir my first session and 4 weeks later I'm pain free and feel my let stronger. Ryan has many years of experience and gave me the right exercise to help my recovery.
Fantastic experience: Ryan was very helpful with my back injury. I have ran for my whole life and this back issue stopped that for a while, but after my first session I felt great relief from his treatment. During my assessment Ryan also identified another issue I had been struggling with in my nervous system & suggested appropriate exercises. He is very easy to get in contact with to even ask questions by text. When I struggle with an excecise he would reply relatively quickly.
Fantastic experience: Ryan was fabulous and I highly recommend him. My first visit to Ryan was very traumatic as I was in chronic pain from a shoulder injury and actually passed out before he was able to undertake any treatment. He dealt with the situation calmly and compassionately and ensured a full referral was swiftly made to see a consultant. Thankfully the chronic pain was short lived and a course of treatment with Ryan has resolved the problem and helped me build strength back up into my shoulder. He is a genuinely lovely guy, very knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile to deliver a really professional, caring service.
Fantastic experience: I had a really painful shoulder/neck injury. Ryan gave me massage that really helped and exercises to follow. It is now 4 weeks since the very painful injury and I feel 95% better! Will continue with the exercises as I feel they really help. Ryan also keeps in contact with me to monitor my progress. Excellent physio, excellent care. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Excellent knowledge, care and professionalism
Fantastic experience: Ryan’s approach to help my autistic son’s rehabilitation from major orthopaedic surgery was excellent. Both his approach and his technique were spot on
Fantastic experience: As a tradesman I put alot of abuse on my body so I have been to see Ryan on a few occasions now and each time he worked miracles on me. Very genuine guy, amazing at what he does, very friendly - would highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: I went to see Ryan with shoulder pain. He identified the problem immediately and set me an exercise programme which I could manage. This worked well - I am now pain free and have more mobility after only a short period of time. I find Ryan to be professional, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about helping people.
Hi Angela, thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with Olymia Physiotherapy. We hope you are continuing to progress well.
Fantastic experience: Professional and informative. Listened to the issues, undertook thorough assessment and planned treatment with me. Had 3 sessions over a number of weeks in person where Ryan showed me how to complete the exercises he then recommended for me to go home and complete. Sessions were planned when I decided, and Ryan checked up on my progress in between. Now all better and have finished the course! But Ryan has offered that I can contact him if have any issues in future. Will be recommending to any friends or family who need Physio!
Thank you for your review Hannah. It’s great to hear you have fully recovered. I hope your rugby is going well. We always strive to provide the best service and it’s great to hear you will recommend our service.
Fantastic experience: I went to see Ryan for a hamstring problem, which was preventing me from playing squash and football. He quickly diagnosed the injury and devised a rehab programme which has returned me to playing sport, feeling stronger and fitter than before. Ryan is knowledgeable and professional as well as being a thoroughly nice person. I would highly recommend his services.
Thank you for your review Ben. I hope your football and squash are going well. If you have any future issues feel free to contact me.
Fantastic experience: I saw Ryan about a calf injury, which was preventing me from training for an upcoming running event. Ryan gave an honest assessment of whether I could make the run, he treated the injury and created a rehabilitation programme. It all worked out, the injury recovered and I was able to take part and run strongly.
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us Chris. We’re delighted we were able to help you get back to full fitness.
