A programme built around your injury
Treatment and rehabilitation are tailored to your injury, physical condition, and goals, with the aim of helping you return to sport or activity.
The service looks at what may have contributed to the injury and builds the programme around the risks that are relevant to you. This can combine rehabilitation, exercise, conditioning, and practical strategies for returning to movement.
Strength and conditioning
Strength and conditioning programmes are available for people at different fitness levels and are delivered through one-to-one coaching with a certified specialist.
The specialist first establishes your requirements and physical condition, then builds a programme around them. The service works with recreational exercisers and full-time athletes across sports including football, athletics, rugby, tennis, Gaelic football, boxing, and swimming.
Reducing the risk of injury
Sports therapy includes injury-prevention education and programming. The service can help identify likely injury risks and build a programme to improve conditioning and support safer movement for people whose work or activity places demands on their body.
