Neuromuscular Therapy and Orthopaedic Massage For Sports Injuries
Here at Physical Health Clinic located in Meelick, 5 minutes from Limerick City, I have a well equipped Physical Therapy clinic to meet the needs of people recovering from a sports injury.
Therapist Experience
Having trained in Neuromuscular Therapy and with lots of sporting experience from having played and coached teams, together with my experience from having ran numerous marathons, I will be able to treat and guide you on your road to recovery.
Painful sports injuries limit mobility, interfere with daily activities and impact on an individual’s ability to perform at their best. Neuromuscular Therapy, Orthopaedic Massage and Functional Movement Therapy can play an important role in helping athletes recover, manage pain, and prevent future injuries through targeted treatment plans tailored to their specific needs.

Importance of Neuromuscular Therapy in Sport
Neuromuscular Therapy can play an important role in sporting performance. Athletes benefit from improved muscle recovery and injury prevention. By relieving tension and improving blood circulation in muscles, it promotes adequate oxygenation of muscle tissue, which improves endurance and muscle strength. Muscles are subjected to significant stress during training, which can lead to muscle imbalances, tightness, and fatigue. This can negatively impact athletic performance and increase the risk of injury.
