The musculoskeletal system can be overloaded with strain and dysfunction

Treating elite, professional and enthusiastic athletes from many disciplines, the clinic members work collaboratively with coaches, trainers and physiotherapists to keep players and competitors match and physically fit.

In all sports, whether contact such as rugby, GAA and soccer or non-contact sports such as tennis, golf, swimming or triathlons, the musculoskeletal system can be overloaded with strain and dysfunction. This results in poor performance, pain and recurring injuries.

Regular treatments improve overall structure and minimise injury.

Treating many of Ireland’s top rugby professionals, we know from experience that many recurring injuries, such as ham string injuries, are often related to mis-alignment of the spine and or hips.

Common rugby injuries treated include:

  • Ham string injuries and issues
  • Neck and shoulder injury and weakness
  • Thigh, calf and ankle strains
  • Sprains and dislocations
  • Repetitive strain injuries and damage from tackles
  • Groin strain and injury
  • Lower limb issues


Like all contact and fast sports, GAA players have many common and recurring injuries from intensive training, physical contact on the pitch and reptitive injury.

We treat elite, senior and regular team players for injuries such as:

  • Recurring Ham String Injuries
  • Muscle, tendon and joint issues from intensive training and match regimes
  • Postural issues in hurlers and camogie players
  • Neck and shoulder injuries and stress in hurlers and camogie players
  • Knee and ankle strains and injuries
  • Groin strain and injury

Runners and tri-athletes face many and regular injuries.  Common injuries relate to knees – but heels, shins and ankles can equally be exposed to stress and injury.  Regular spine and hip manipulations help to manage performance and injury and establish an overall better structural base.

Osteopathy treatments can help with:

  • Patello femoral pain syndrome – which is often related to pelvic and lumbar spine issues
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Patella tendinopathy
  • Medial tibial stress syndrome
