Freddie Roberts

Freddie has a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy from the University of Southampton and is also a qualified Personal Trainer, backed up by a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, Exercise and Health.

 

He is a runner and martial arts expert, and his patients include people of all activity levels, from weekend warriors to elite athletes wanting to return to competition as soon as possible. He has successfully helped patients to recover from injuries to enable them to train for multi-day events such as the Marathon Des Sables and multi-week challenges, including the Camino De Santiago.

 

Freddie’s interest in physiotherapy stems from his own experience of having his sports injuries rehabbed, which made him realise the difference a good physio can make on returning to sport. “In particular, I found it challenging to find a physiotherapist who could guide me in returning to competitive Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.”

 

He spent several years working in hospitals and clinics in the United Kingdom and then moved to New Zealand to gain more experience in sports injury rehab. He is now based back in England and works exclusively online with patients experiencing a variety of sports injuries and other musculoskeletal issues.

 

Freddie has extensive experience in helping his patients manage a wide range of issues – from running injuries to contact sport injuries. He advises on all stages of injury management, including prehab and preparation for surgery, post-op guidance, long term rehab, and returning to sport.

 

"We can often make progress in other aspects of your training whilst working on the issue at hand, and this is where my background in exercise science, personal training, and competitive sport is especially helpful.”

 

Having worked in the British health system, he is used to collaborating with other medical professionals, such as rheumatologists, surgeons, and sports coaches to achieve the best outcome for his patients.

Freddie’s own sporting interests:

 

Freddie is a lifelong sportsman who has competed in several martial arts, including MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. When not on the mats, Freddie can be found lifting weights, hitting the trails, or hiking near his home city of Bristol.

 

He has completed several road and trail running events up to marathon distances and is currently training for his first ultramarathon, The Lakeland Trails 55km ultra in July 2026.

 

He spent much of 2024 in Canada, running and hiking on the trails around Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies, including weekly scrambles up the notorious Grouse Grind and frequent multi-day backpacking trips.

With regards to providing online physio treatment, Freddie says:

​

“Online rehab provides flexibility and improved access to getting a timely and accurate diagnosis, helping you understand what has contributed to the injury, and ensuring there is a clear plan. This could be a sporting goal, or simply being able to do your usual activities."
