Injuries We Treat with Sports Physiotherapy

Our Dublin-based sports physiotherapists treat a wide range of acute and overuse injuries caused by sport and physical activity.

Whether you’re managing a one-off injury or dealing with chronic pain, we’re here to help you move, compete, and train without setbacks.

At our Dublin and Drogheda clinic, we commonly treat:

  • Muscle strains (hamstrings, quads, calves)
  • Ligament sprains (ankle, knee, shoulder)
  • Tendon injuries (Achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff)
  • Runner’s knee and jumper’s knee
  • Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
  • Groin pain and hip impingement
  • Shin splints
  • Post-surgical sports rehab
  • Recurrent injuries or imbalances
  • Concussion and return-to-play planning

Our Approach to Sports Injury Treatment

Every athlete is different—and so is every injury. That’s why we personalise your rehab plan to meet your sport, position, and recovery goals. We use a combination of:

  • Comprehensive injury assessments to identify root causes
  • Manual therapy and joint mobilisation to reduce pain and restore movement
  • Soft tissue techniques and dry needling for muscle tension and recovery
  • Progressive exercise rehabilitation focused on sport-specific movement
  • Biomechanical analysis and injury prevention strategies
  • Return-to-play protocols to ensure safe and effective recovery

Our focus is not just on recovery—but on helping you perform better and stay injury-free.

  • Excellent physiotherapist, would highly recommend. John is very knowledgeable and thorough, and clearly cares about getting the best outcome for his patients. I have seen John for two separate injuries in the past few years, and both times the care I received was second to none.

  • John helped me recover from a knee fracture and re-gain my confidence in returning into sport. Giving me new more challenging exercises to progress step by step and gain strength. Very happy with his work

  • I’ve been seeing John for the last six months. He is a true professional. He’s very knowledgeable and caring . I went to see him with a frozen shoulder. He helped me manage the condition and improve my mobility. I’d highly recommend him as a physiotherapist.
