Bio
Dr. Jesús Olmo is a specialist in non-surgical treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of musculoskeletal and sports injuries, as well as an expert in functional assessment of the locomotor system.
Currently, in addition to being the Medical Director at Isokinetic Clinic London, he is the co-founder of the Football Science Institute, an international educative online platform for football teams’ professional staff and for research in football science, and a private specialist consultant in Granada, Spain. Formerly, he was Head of Medical and Performance at Real Madrid CF on four seasons 2013-2017.
Dr Olmo not only treats sports injuries and elite athletes, but also orthopedic, trauma and degenerative problems in patients of any age that want to stay active and free of pain. Dr Olmo believes that muscle, tendon, joint, and spine injuries are best treated by a combination of specific and individual biomechanics training programs and biological therapies when appropriate. Dr Olmo is an expert in biomechanics, exercise and regenerative therapies including blood-derived injections and mesenchymal stem cells.
Dr. Olmo regularly publishes scientific papers in biomechanics, rehabilitation and sports medicine journals, and is frequently invited to give presentations at national and international conferences. He lives between Granada and London and dedicates a large part of his free time to his family, sports, and much-enjoyed meetings with his old rugby teammates.

Testimonials
“8 years living and training with pain due to problems in the spine and lately in the knees. After going through several physiotherapists and traumatologists without getting results in a single MONTH AND A HALF, thanks to Dr. Olmo and his team, all pain has disappeared.”
“Dr. Olmo is one of the most knowledgable person on the field I have met. He identified my injuries quickly and put me on the best track to recover. I especially appreicate that he was straight, to-the-point direct and very friendly at the same time. And lastly, he also listened to my ideas and needs and prefectly included them in the plan. I will be returning for consultations later on to improve my techniques and prevent injuries in the future.”
“They recommended Dr. Olmo, and his diagnosis was by far the best and most accurate of all, plus he understood my purpose to return to training. After a few months of following your instructions, I am as good as new, and I return to the gym.”
“Dr Olmo diagnosed my injury and helped me put a recovery plan in place. I was extremely impressed with his expertise and ability. I’m also very grateful for all his help. I have now overcome the issues related to my injury and I was able to run the London marathon.”
