After working with well over 1,000 clients, I can spot patterns and system failings a mile off.

Having suffered from re-occurring back pain and subsequent injuries as a result of the same failings, I have made it my mission to create something I wish I had access to when I needed it. In a way, these failings have driven my determination to do this better.

Symptom reduction, treatment and recovery are not the same thing – however all too often, they are being sold as the same, leaving massive gaps in long-term recovery & resilience.

Your current back pain, what about that old ankle injury, or hamstring tear? Have these been considered? Or the fact that you are travelling for work, have young children and are training 5 days per week? Have you been given a sheet of 20 mundane exercises to do at home with no explanation of what your next stages will look like and why?

Without taking an objective look at all contributing factors and mapping out a real and achievable plan, you are being set up for failure.

Psychologically, it’s devastating – you feel left out, unable to join your tribe. Injured again. Worried about being able to work, is this who you are now, will you ever get back to the level you were once at -it’s real! This is the life you have built and now you are sitting on the sidelines AGAIN!

I have been here – did everything I was told but somehow went straight from clinic treatment back to high level sport…..

Who runs a marathon without completing the correct training plan? How can you plan a trip without knowing your starting point and your end destination??

Treatment and symptom reduction are a vital stage of injury recovery, but let’s remember, symptoms are just that. Pain, signals that something is wrong. It has taken a long, long time to even get to this stage.

Are you stuck in this cycle of Pain ➡️ Pain free ➡️ Re-inury? Maybe its time to try something a bit different.

📢 Exciting Changes at Our Clinic 📢

"We're Evolving" From Treatment to Recovery. From Appointments to Outcomes.  A New Rehabilitation-Focused Approach 

We are transitioning from a traditional Injury Clinic model to a more specialised rehabilitation-focused clinic.

Why are we making this change?

Over the years, we've worked with hundreds of clients recovering from injury, surgery, and persistent pain. What we've learned is that treatment is often only one part of the recovery journey.

Many people improve physically but still struggle with confidence, consistency, progression, and knowing how to safely return to exercise, work, sport, or the activities they love.

That's where rehabilitation coaching makes the difference.

Our new model will focus on providing clients with structured rehabilitation programmes, expert guidance, ongoing support, and clear progression throughout their recovery journey.

As part of this transition:

✅ Riona Devlin will focus exclusively on our 1-to-1 Rehabilitation Coaching Programme and Small Group Rehabilitation Classes, bridging the gap between "pain free" and active living or sports performance.

✅ Ellen Taiite will lead our acute injury, rehabilitation, and sports therapy services.

❌ We are no longer taking on massage or soft tissue based Clients.

Our mission remains unchanged:

To help people recover from injury, rebuild confidence, and return to the activities that matter most to them.

We believe this new approach will allow us to provide even greater support and better long-term outcomes for our clients.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. We're excited about this next chapter and look forward to helping even more people move better, recover stronger, and live more active lives.
