Oliver's entrepreneurial journey began with SureStride, a fracture boot mobility attachment designed to help users regain independence during recovery.
Inspired by his own experience of injury, Oliver set out to create a product that would transform rehabilitation. The idea was simple but powerful: quicker recovery comes from frequent mobilisation.
Though extensive market research and iterative design, he developed SureStride to offload the weight from the boot and allow users to control movement with their hands.
The result is a device that not only increases mobility but also reduces weight-bearing pain, lowers fall risk, improves step gait, and enhances recovery outcomes.
What began as a personal challenge has become a career-defining innovation with the potential to change lives.
