A few words about us
Suraj and Lloyd’s friendship began when they were toddlers. They lived across the road from each other from the age of four, they were in the same class at school, and have grown up as best friends ever since.
In September 2016, Lloyd had just finished playing for the Northamptonshire County Cricket Team following a season that had been plagued with injuries. During a gym session, Suraj suggested started a company together focusing on improving performance, recovery, and preventing injury. This led to Sports Medica being born. Suraj and Lloyd have traveled the world together and their skills complement each other perfectly with Lloyd’s creativity balancing Suraj’s analytical skills. In 2011, Lloyd joined the Oxford MCC University, cricket team. Here, Patrick was running the strength and conditioning program. Lloyd recognized Patrick as the best resource for health and fitness, and spent the next five years being mentored by Patrick. In early 2018, Patrick joined the Sports Medica team and has been an invaluable resource when designing and innovating new products, whilst also helping to develop our social media resources. The Sports Medica family continues to grow with the recent inclusion of Suraj’s sister, Punam, who has come on board in a consultancy role.

Lloyd Paternott
Lloyd’s love of sports performance and physiology came from his time at university where, alongside studying for his bachelor’s degree, he played cricket for Oxford MCC University and Northamptonshire. After leaving university, Lloyd went on to play cricket for the Ugandan national team in tournaments around the world. Throughout Lloyd’s sporting career he has suffered many injuries. These have stemmed from poor posture, overtraining, poor sleep, and poor genetics. To overcome these injuries, he has spent seven years researching the effects these variables have on sports performance and has developed numerous coping mechanisms for them. Lloyd is always keen to explore new ways of improving performance for everyone, from Olympic athletes to sedentary workers. The trick he has learned is to create small, easy actionable tools. He has created Sports Medica’s podcast and blog to share some of his ideas on human performance.
