Since we opened in 1994 we have been involved with many sporting bodies within and around Kilkenny, from local sports clubs to the NIHE which looks after Ireland's elite athletes.

During this time we have treated all nature of sporting injuries, from the onset of an acute injury right through to full rehabilitation and return to sport. From here we have developed the scope of our practice to include many injury prevention regimes.

Recurrent Sports Injuries

Hamstrings, groins, shin splints, achilles tendonitis, calf strains, runner's knee, foot pain, low back pain etc.

Niggling Hamstring pain and groin pain plague many athletes year in and year out. Many of our clients have reported pulling their hamstrings a few times in one season, and we have had reports of up to 20 or 30 hamstring strains in one person's sporting career.

We specialise in interupting this repetitive injury cycle. Through thorough assessment with detailed analysis of movement, movement control, flexibility, functional stability and the impact of overuse and underuse of specific muscle groups we can accurately determine the cause of your specific repetitive injury.

We do not use machines to do this, we use experience, and this experience is shared with all members of our team to ensure we get to the root of your problem.

Once we acertain the nature of the problem we will offer local treatment to relieve you of your current symptoms, and an extensive home exercise programme to help correct the cause of the problem. During this corrective stage you may continue playing sport but still avail of our therapeutic input to help release the tight muscles and stimulate the weak ones. All exercises will be monitored until we are all satisfied that your problem has been rectified.

During this phase you will probably participate in one of our group rehabilition classes such as the back class, click here for more information.

Lower leg Problems such as achilles tendonitis, foot pain, knee pain and calf pain may occur as a result of poor biomechanics (foot position) or indeed may be largely due to poor mobility around the pelvic girdle and/or poor core stability. In assessing these conditions we will look at the bigger picture and attempt to sort out the main underlying cause of your problem as well as the presenting symptoms.
