He practises at The Meriden Hospital and welcomes patients from Coventry, Warwickshire and the surrounding region. He sees people of all ages and activity levels, from elite athletes to those who simply want to move more comfortably and enjoy everyday life without pain.
Patients often seek his expertise for back pain, neck pain, arthritis, tendon injuries, muscle strains, ligament injuries, shoulder problems, hip conditions, knee pain and sports-related injuries. He focuses on identifying the root cause of symptoms and building practical treatment plans that support long-term recovery and improved quality of life.
Why choose Dr Rameez Sattar?
Dr Sattar has developed extensive experience across professional sport, elite competition medicine and private musculoskeletal practice. He currently serves as First Team Doctor for Lincoln City Football Club and has previously worked as First Team Doctor for Queens Park Rangers, Walsall FC and Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. He has also provided medical support at the Yonex All England Badminton Championships, one of the UK's most prestigious international sporting events.
This experience gives him a detailed understanding of injury diagnosis, rehabilitation and safe return to activity.

Clinical and Special Interests
Dr Sattar specialises in the non-surgical assessment and treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. These include sports injuries, arthritis, tendon disorders, back pain, sciatica, neck pain and joint conditions affecting the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles and feet.
He has a particular interest in the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound to improve diagnosis and guide treatment. Ultrasound imaging allows him to assess soft tissues, joints and tendons in real time. He also performs image-guided injections where appropriate, helping to deliver targeted treatment with accuracy.
His expertise covers conditions such as frozen shoulder, rotator cuff disorders, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, hip bursitis, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, shin pain, knee ligament injuries, osteoarthritis and many other common causes of musculoskeletal pain.
Working with a Multidisciplinary Team
Successful recovery often requires a team approach. Dr Sattar works closely with physiotherapists, rehabilitation specialists and other healthcare professionals to ensure patients receive comprehensive care. This collaborative approach helps patients receive the right treatment at the right time and supports long-term recovery.
Where necessary, he can also coordinate care with orthopaedic specialists, imaging services and other clinicians to ensure a complete understanding of each patient's condition.
The Patient Journey and Recovery
Every patient's journey is different. Dr Sattar believes treatment should be tailored to individual goals and circumstances. During the initial consultation, he carefully assesses symptoms, reviews relevant investigations and discusses treatment options in clear language.
Treatment may include lifestyle advice, exercise programmes, rehabilitation planning, image-guided injections, shockwave therapy recommendations or support with returning to sport and exercise. When surgery may be required, he helps patients understand their options and refers appropriately.
His focus is not simply on reducing pain. He aims to improve function, confidence and overall wellbeing. Patients receive practical advice that helps them take an active role in their recovery and future health.
