LUCY ODDIE BSC MSC MCSP HCPC

Specialist MSK Physiotherapist and O Physio business owner.

Lucy founded O Physio in January 2019 after a long career working for the NHS. She is a highly experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapist with particular expertise in the assessment, diagnosis and management of injuries in adolescents and adults, helping patients return confidently to their favourite activity, work and everyday life.

​

After qualifying as a Physiotherapist, Lucy spent 11 years working in London teaching hospitals, gaining extensive experience in acute and chronic injuries whilst working in fracture and trauma in-patient and out-patient services as well as within a pain management team. She later moved to Oxfordshire, where she held a Clinical Lead role with Oxford Health NHS Foundation.

​

Lucy is committed to continually developing her clinical skills. She gained an MSc in Pain: Science and Society from King's College London (Merit) in 2008, completed an MSc module in Advanced Assessment and Treatment Skills at Oxford Brookes University (Distinction) in 2016, and became a Kids Back 2 Sport Certified Practitioner in March 2026, further strengthening her expertise in the assessment and management of young people with musculoskeletal injuries.

​

For the past four years, Lucy has been a visiting clinical educator on the musculoskeletal module for first-year medical students at the University of Buckingham. Teaching anatomy and musculoskeletal assessment ensures her own anatomical knowledge remains current.

​

During the first COVID-19 lockdown, Lucy trained in Pilates and now regularly incorporates Pilates principles into rehabilitation programmes, helping patients improve control and confidence as they recover.

​

She was part of a multidisciplinary team educating coaches and youth athletes in evidence-based warm-up programmes designed to reduce ACL injuries in the young, sporting population.  She continues to raise awareness of these exercises with her younger patients and their parents.

​

Alongside her clinical work at O Physio, Lucy also works part-time for an ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/Chronic fatigue syndrome) and Long Covid charity, advocating for people living with these conditions at NHS Trust, Integrated Care Board and national government level.

​

Lucy believes in treating the whole person, not just the injury. She combines clinical expertise with empathy, ensuring every patient understands their diagnosis, feels confident in their rehabilitation plan and is empowered to take an active role in their recovery.

​

Whether you're recovering from a recent injury or surgical procedure, struggling with a long-term complaint or looking to prevent future injuries, Lucy is passionate about helping you to live well, stay active and achieve your goals.
