Oliver Brailsford
Sports Therapist
Oliver graduated from Leeds Beckett University in 2021 with a bachelor’s degree in Sport and Exercise Therapy. He has worked in semi-professional football and in private practice, where he has gained valuable experience by working with a variety of patients.
Since commencing his career as a sports therapist, Oliver has treated and assisted many individuals in overcoming their injuries, taking pride in his ability to positively impact people’s lives.
Oliver believes in identifying the root cause of pain and addressing it alongside the symptoms. This approach ensures that while addressing the current pain, efforts are also made to prevent its recurrence.
Specialising in Sports Therapy, Oliver utilises hands-on techniques combined with progressive strengthening exercises customised to each individual’s abilities and needs. This structured approach facilitates a seamless transition from current pain and ability levels back to pre-injury states, ultimately enhancing overall athletic performance and resilience against future injuries.
Additionally, he offers Sports Massage, providing a range of benefits such as reducing muscle and joint pain, enhancing sleep and mood, improving mobility and athletic performance, and alleviating muscle tension and tightness.
Outside of work, Oliver enjoys climbing and boxing as his main hobbies. He also takes pleasure in travelling, dining out, and watching quality films.
Stephen WilcoxHighly recommend this place! Alex has sorted so many problems for me, my only wish is I came here years ago instead of visiting other places. He always talks to you about what’s going on, gives some good instructions delivered on an app, and also looks at your daily habits to get a detailed view of what’s contributing to your issues. Thank you for helping me.C CBest physio ive been to,lovely place both brecks and Braithwell,but the physio makes it,my back never been so good after years.I will not be going else where now ive finally found this.David M Brothers TenorStrongly recommend , proper physios that are definitely hands-on and not just 5 minutes prodding and off with an exercise sheet.Anne MillsI am very grateful to Alex who has helped me in so many ways, not least by tackling my back problem. The pain is much improved and I know the exercises are helping me very much. Thank youChanazi NgaruIt was my first time to have Acupuncture. I felt relaxed from my first appointment with Sam Watson. The whole process was relaxing as I was not sure of how I would feel about needles. Having had 3 sessions so far, it’s been a great experience. Sam Watson is brilliant. The treatment is helping with my shoulder pain. Such a huge improvement on my overall health being. I highly recommend Parker & Jones Manual Therapy Clinic.Paul WheelerMy partner suggested I visit her physio due to a long standing issue with my shoulder. I’m glad I did as my problem was diagnosed as also involving my chest, neck and back, which was causing my shoulder to be pulled out of line. Even though the path has at times been painful, I am on the way to recovery with my flexibility improving within my shoulder joint. Thank you Stacey Highly recommendedMark MonteiroVisited the new premises today at Braithwell to visit Stacey.

Alex and Karen’s treatments complement each other so well. They keep me moving and running and have sorted out my many issues. A big thank you .Terri Smith (Morris)I've been seeing Karen for Deep Tissue Massage for over 12 months now. My back has improved greatly. I no longer have pain and now go regularly to ensure that my muscles are kept in a position where my bad posture doesn't cause me issues. I can't recommend Karen enough, very friendly and helpful. We value her input so much that most of my close family also visit her.dawn barkerI cannot thank Alex enough for the excellent treatment and care I have recieved from him over the last 2 years. Alex is professional, approachable and a good listener. I have not been in the best of health over the last year, but Alex has been very supportive and encouraging throughout and now I am enjoying life again. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex to anyone seeking a first class practitioner.
