She specialises in injury assessment, sports rehabilitation, and hands-on treatment, helping patients recover from pain, restore movement, and return to activity with confidence.

Niamh provides Sports Therapy, sports and remedial massage, and evidence-based rehabilitation programmes tailored to each individual. Her approach combines skilled manual therapy with structured, progressive exercise rehabilitation to address the root cause of pain rather than just the symptoms.

• Movement dysfunction and biomechanical issues

Approachable, supportive, and thorough, Niamh takes time to fully understand each patient’s concerns, lifestyle, and goals. She has a particular interest in guiding patients safely back to sport and activity, reducing the risk of re-injury, and building long-term strength and resilience rather than relying on short-term fixes.
