Marcus Ellery
Biography
Marcus spent eight years working with semi-professional football and athletics squads before moving into clinic practice. That background shapes how he works: he is unusually specific about load, testing and return-to-play criteria, and reluctant to sign anyone off on the basis of time elapsed alone.
He treats the full range of musculoskeletal problems, from acute injury to the stubborn, long-running complaints that have already been through several practitioners. His view is that most of those cases have been under-loaded rather than over-treated.
Marcus co-ordinates Olivrae's return-to-sport testing protocol and is a regular contributor to the clinic's journal.
