Fantastic experience: Matt is attentive and knowledgeable, really helps to improve my condition
Fantastic experience: First time using Matt , found him extremely helpful and supportive. Will be using him again in the next few weeks to assess my progress with my injury
Fantastic experience: Excellent Matt was very helpful. My first visit. Muscles aching so I obviously pushed myself. A very good session. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Matt enough. I went to him with persistent IT band issues that had really started to affect my running. From the very beginning, he brought a level of positivity and reassurance that made a huge difference to my mindset. He never framed the injury as a limitation, but instead as something completely manageable with the right approach. At no point was he negative or dismissive—quite the opposite. He genuinely believed in my ability to get back to full strength, and that belief helped me push through moments of doubt. Because of his guidance and support, I managed to complete the London Marathon.
Fantastic experience: Matt did a great job on my shoulder and knee. I'd highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great first session with Matt, I felt immediately at ease, confident that he really understood my issue, explaining it in detail and has given me a robust action plan.
Fantastic experience: Thank you for all of your ongoing help, support and guidance Matt. You have helped my tremendously with my spinal fracture. There is no doubt that I would recommend your services to anyone seeking support.
Fantastic experience: I felt nervous about starting my rehab following an ankle fracture. However, Matt instantly put me at ease with his friendly and professional manner. I won't lie, physio is hard, and there's no gain without pain, as they say, but Matt is a fantastic motivator, who I would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Matt was absolutely a true professional, knowledgeable and helped myself regain confidence in getting back into the gym whilst working on a shoulder problem I’ve now been living with for 3 months . A true Gent with empathy and he really cares about his clients , a job well done .
Fantastic experience: Really professional and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: Always an amazing physio season. Addresses issues, and promotes positive outcomes. Highly recommend Matt.
Fantastic experience: Ive had several appointments with Matt over the past 6 months post shoulder surgery. The support and care I have received has been exceptional! This has included step by step help and reassurance, not to mention his in depth knowledge and medical connections! I would most certainly recommend Matt!
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Matt is extremely experienced, highly professional and I have every confidence that he will help resolve the issues I've been experiencing.
Fantastic experience: Matt Murray-Downing is fantastic! I took my son to him and Matt has spent time listening to him, understanding the best way to help him and encouraging him along the way, as well as giving him exercises to make an 11 year old boy laugh, which when your child is finding it hard to cope, is immeasurable. Thank you Matt
Fantastic experience: Great Physio. Pleasant,confident,encouraging and great knowledge. What else could you want
Fantastic experience: Very glad I came to Elite Physical for my post-op therapy. Matt was extremely professional, welcoming, and clearly very knowledgeable. I felt confident throughout the session and came away with a clear plan for my recovery.
Fantastic experience: I'm seeing Matt post knee surgery to ensure that I recover full range of motion. Clearly knowledgeable and assured, Matt is getting me back to confident movement pdq, plus my visits to him are informative, reassuring and progressively effective. I'd thoroughly recommend him.
Positive experience: Matt did a good job on my husband, who had a back problem after heavy lifting. Now back on the tennis court and going strong.
Fantastic experience: Matt is an extraordinary physiotherapist. When I first visited him in August 2025, my mobility was curtailed by pain in my right gluteus muscle and in my right knee. I struggled to walk for more than 15 minutes continuously without feeling the need to sit down. Matt’s treatment and list of weekly exercise routines has greatly reduced my discomfort, enabling me to walk 40 minutes at a go. This will only improve as I continue to follow his treatment guidelines, greatly enhancing my quality of life.
Fantastic experience: In May 2025, I had major knee surgery and struggled to access physiotherapy through the NHS. Matt came highly recommended by my dad, and I’m so glad I went — he’s been absolutely incredible in helping me get back on my feet. Matt is not only a fantastic physiotherapist, but also someone who genuinely cares about every person he treats. His passion for what he does really shows. Thanks to his support, I’ve rebuilt the strength in my leg, can now walk long distances without my knee dislocating, and I’m even training for my first ever half marathon next year — something I never thought would be possible! I’ve had disappointing experiences with physiotherapists in the past who dismissed my concerns, but Matt completely changed that. He listens, understands, and tailors everything to what I actually need. I wouldn’t go to anyone else for physiotherapy now — Matt truly is the best.
Fantastic experience: Matt at Elite Physical Medicine managed to solve the tendonitis in my hip! Allowing me to get back to running comfortably. He has also helped multiple clients that I have referred to him. His knowledge is amazing and the service he provides is exceptional. Thanks, Matt!
Fantastic experience: Matt is an incredible physio, not only has he helped me recover from small injuries, he has also helped many of my clients. His knowledge is superb and he is very adaptable through every single part of your recovery. I could not recommend Matt more and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking injury rehab or advice on injuries/training!
Fantastic experience: Saw Matt for shoulder/arm pain that I'd been having for months and he was great. So thorough and knowledgeable. Explained everything to me, took me up into the gym to do some testing and made some great recommendations that are making a huge difference, without having to stop lifting completely. Super friendly and welcoming, would recommend him and the wider team to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Matt is fantastic! He diagnosed and solved my shoulder issue very quickly and also helped my son who damaged his hand swimming. I highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Matt is a top physiotherapist whom I would highly recommend. After struggling with injuries to both my knees and achilles, his expertise and guidance have got me running and playing football pain-free for the first time in almost a year!
Fantastic experience: Matt is an excellent physio who I would highly recommend. I went to see him at the Marlow clinic for a groin/hip issue that I had been struggling with for over a year. Matt guided me through a full 6-10 week rehab process that allowed me to start playing football again with no pain. He looks at every small detail to help build a rehab plan and guides you through the exercises in the gym when required.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience. I had surgery after dislocating my ac joint whilst snowboarding in France. I immediately saw Matt upon my return who planned out a recovery process for me and it couldn’t have gone better. I have recovered much quicker than the doctors in France said I would and am back to doing gym and sport only 3 months later. Would recommend highly.
Fantastic experience: After suffering severe back pain, I approached the idea of physiotherapy with a degree of trepidation. However, from the outset Matt described the diagnosis in ways that as a layman I understood. Over the weeks, the progression in movement and exercise Matt gave me in the sessions and carried into the gym has been transformational. I'm really grateful for the help and advise Matt gave and would thoroughly recommend Elite Physical Medicine.
Fantastic experience: My son had reconstruction of his ACL after a nasty football injury. Matt has been excellent supporting my son on his extensive recovery. Matt was very prompt and responsive, always available with advice and setting goals to achieve. This concluded with my son back playing football again and even skiing. Can’t recommend Matt enough, thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: Elite Physical Medicine offers a brilliant, professional service with care and expertise by Matt. I have a complex, severe hip diagnosis resulting in 2 PAOs and 2 arthroscopies which rendered me unable to walk or exercise properly and living in constant pain. Matt has consistently diagnosed my concerns and treated them with comprehensive plans throughout the course of my rehabilitation journey, responding efficiently to my changing condition. I am, after being told it would not be possible, living without pain, feeling strong and well on the way to learning to do the sports and running I love again. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone as he demonstrates a personable, supportive approach and understanding of you as an individual.
Fantastic experience: Heading into a critical fitness performance assessment I needed urgent, effective care for my knee pain. Elite Physical Medicine was recommended to me by a friend. Matt provided an expert, efficient, timely service and most importantly listened to my needs and shaped the treatment around them. I was referred to a colleague for a scan, aspiration and steroid injection and have received ongoing care from Matt at the Marlow Club. I am hugely grateful for the care, treatment, advice and emotional support and can whole-heatedly recommend Matt and his team.
Fantastic experience: Matt is an exceptional physiotherapist. He took the time to understand the root cause of my knee pain and developed a comprehensive treatment plan. His hands-on techniques, combined with targeted exercises, were incredibly effective. I'm so impressed with Matt and his knowledge and professionalism. I'm back to doing the activities I love, thanks to their excellent care.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and knowledgeable. Good explanations and advice given for managing and recovering from a herniated disc.
Fantastic experience: I went to Matt 6 weeks ago, after a summer of half marathons I had suddenly developed a pain in my knee at around 10k. Matt put together a S&C/Running plan that allowed me to continue training (pain free), and after steadily increasing my mileage again I’ve just completed my first 10k+ long run pain free. Looking forward to continue working with Matt as I start Marathon training next year.
Fantastic experience: I had previously attended the Marlow Clinic after undergoing Bi Lateral Knee Replacement Surgery, and was very disappointed to learn that Mike Banks had retired. I needn't have worried, Mike has handed over to Matt Murray-Downing, who is an excellent and knowledgeable physiotherapist. I am now recovering from shoulder surgery (you could say I am wearing out) Matt has proved to be an exceptional physiotherapist, I did have further surgery planned, but with Matt's guidance, and a little physical input from myself, I am now back firing on all cylinders, and very nearly as good as new, with further corrective surgery now looking to be unlikely and unnecessary. I would highly recommend Matt Murray-Downing
Fantastic experience: Can’t rate Matt’s practice at the Marlow Club highly enough. He quickly sorted out the neck pain that has been plaguing me for many years (where countless other physios, sports therapists, osteopaths and chiropractors made little impact). He clearly knows his stuff, and now I have a bunch of simple exercises to incorporate into my routine that have made a genuinely huge difference. Grateful to have him on the doorstep for any future body complaints!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Matt. I sustained a shoulder injury nine months ago, and with his help and enthusiasm my recovery has gone as quickly as I could have hoped for.
Fantastic experience: Great experience and highly recommend, will be returning if ever necessary
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Elite Physical Medicine and highly recommend them. I was referred by my doctor following a tennis related shoulder injury. Matt was great in putting together a strength based plan which has quickly got me back playing tennis - with my shoulder feeling 100% and continuing on with the strengthening exercises has my shoulder in an even better place and this has translated into more powerful serving and shot making.
Fantastic experience: I went for an appointment with Matt suffering from acute shoulder pain and he very quickly diagnosed and reassured me on the nature of the problem which was a torn rotator cuff. Matt put together a program that initially focused on pain management, then to strengthening and finally function which has enabled me to progress rapidly and efficiently through recovery. Would have no hesitation to recommend Matt to anyone needing to seek out some physio support
Fantastic experience: I saw Matt with a foot injury which I had had for a long while. He diagnosed the problem quickly. With a couple of treatments and instructions for ongoing exercises the problem resolved Excellent service. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great physio. Set me up with a detailed strength and running plan to get back to running properly after a knee injury. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: I went to see Matt from Elite Physical Medicine about a foot injury that I sustained in a recent running race. He checked it over and has given me the confidence that it luckily isn’t something too serious. While I was there Matt spent time checking my leg strength and addressing questions I had about ways to improve my performance. I have got to say that Matt is incredible and I will be incorporating all of the bespoke hints and tips he gave me. He went above and beyond and gave me all the time I needed. I will not hesitate in going back to see Matt again and I can already tell that he will be able to improve my running performance. I would recommend him to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and sorted my problem in one appointment. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing pool based physio sessions with Matt in Marlow. I had lost hope after struggling to do normal gym-based physio sessions without my arthritic knee flaring up, but Matt has found a way forward doing pool based exercises. He is fabulous at explaining complex things in a way that makes sense and I can follow. I’m now making fantastic progress and really seeing a difference in my body but I also have my positive mojo back too! Thanks to Matt and the amazing team at Elite!
Fantastic experience: Matt was extremely professional and really helped me fix the problem I had. Would 100% reach out again.
Fantastic experience: A BIG Thankyou to Matt for truly fab treatment of my painful foot. 2 weeks later I’m completely out of pain and have just enjoyed a 7 mile walk. So handy to be able to see a first class physio locally in Marlow.
Fantastic experience: Matt has helped me with my back for the last few months. It has been a weak spot for me for a number of years and it’s now feeling better than ever. He has helped me reform my exercise routine to better serve my weaknesses alongside actively rehabbing my back. I would recommend him highly and will be going back with any other issues in the future.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Matt at Elite Physical Medicine for almost a year now, and my condition has improved massively. I had a micro-discectomy last year and had lingering neuropathic symptoms that Matt has helped subdue. They have been great in wrapping a team around me that suits my recovery, with advice about physical health but also more holistically about psychology, swimming, hot/cold exposure, diet and more!
Fantastic experience: Matt has been a huge help toward me reaching my goals and targets as a professional motorcycle racer. I work with Matt closely during the week and also at all my championship events. Using Matt as my Performance Coach/ Physio has allowed me to not only be in the best shape physically but also mentally. Utilizing Matt’s knowledge and experience has been instrumental in my growth and progression as an athlete.
Fantastic experience: Matt is a top physio and an extremely nice bloke! Back in September I had picked up a football-related knee injury which was keeping me out for months. He quickly diagnosed the issue and put together a bespoke plan to get me back out there as soon as possible. I now wouldn't see anyone else for physio and highly recommend to everyone!
Fantastic experience: Working with Matt has been absolutely brilliant. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him for many years, and as an elite gymnast, dealing with aches, pains, and injuries is part of the process. Given the nature of gymnastics, these issues can arise in any part of the body. Matt has been someone that I know I can go to for not only providing an accurate diagnosis and recovery plan but also as someone I trust completely. The confidence I have in Matt’s advice and strategies, knowing they are the most efficient and effective, has been invaluable. I know I can always rely on him to do what’s best for me. A huge thank you to Matt for all the help over the years. Max Whitlock OBE
Fantastic experience: Matt has been my performance coach/physio for the last two years and I wouldn’t want anybody else. He is extremely professional and great at what he does! He joins me on my race weekends as our physio/performance coach and we also work together during the off season and mid season. I’ve seen so much improvement in my whole performance on and off track since I started working with Matt!
Fantastic experience: Matt has provided physio to me over many years. Helping me manage flare ups when I’ve been in a lot of pain and discomfort and for maintenance physio to assist my long term health conditions. Matt has always been positive, enthusiastic and pleasant in his approach to this work.
Fantastic experience: Matt is an extremely knowledgeable and attentive physio. I hadnt played football for 5 years because of patella tendinopathy and had almost given up hope until I found Matt. He managed to get me back on the pitch in a very short space of time and im extremely grateful for his expertise. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: A fantastic service from start to finish. A very positive experience, from initial consultation, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing support programme. Recommended.
Fantastic experience: Matt is a great physio. He is a very good listener and gets to the root of the issue quickly. He has tailored many different recovery plans for me working it around my aims and objectives with sports/gym. I’ve found his clinic’s incredibly helpful over the last 5+ years and undoubtedly wouldn't be able to do what I’m doing now with his help. It also helps that he is a person as well.
Fantastic experience: I have seen Matt for a number of years and he is an exceptional physio. He leaves no stone unturned in his diagnosis, and has gone above and beyond in identifying the appropriate specialists when further treatment has been required. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
