We are here to help with the education process surrounding rest, rehab and return to play processes and practices. We're also available offline, where we can help in the rehabilitation process through structured programmes and physiotherapy.
Athletic and Rehabilitation therapy treatment involves hand on techniques to treat various conditions associated with muscles, nerves and joints. An Athletic therapist can treat pain associated with sports injuries, poor posture and general wear and tear. Provide clients with personalised exercises/ stretches to help maintain their function and facilitate recovery.
STT/ Massage Therapy involves kneading and manipulation of muscle to relieve tightness, spasm and soreness. Massage work can also involve deep tissue work that can be uncomfortable for short periods of time but the results can improve posture, joint movements and relieve pain. <br> There is also a range of professional massage and treatment creams that patients can purchase for use at home to help relieve pain and muscle soreness and help facilitate recovery. See Forever Living.
Treatment usually includes clinical assessment, a regime of exercises and stretches (and/or hands on treatment) to assist recovery and injury. Those exercises also help maintain the improvement achieved by treatment. Exercises will be tailored to suit each client’s ability, to ensure they reach their best possible outcome.
My name is Conall Hoey, I am a graduate of Athletic Therapy at Dublin City University in Ireland (Bsc Hons) and certified member of athletic rehabilitation Ireland (A.R.T.C). I have also completed the National certificate in Strength and Conditioning (NCSC). I am an all-round sports enthusiast, enjoying all types of sports and I have a strong interest and passion in strength and conditioning and injury prevention in sports.
I'm glad to have worked with some top athletes, here's what they have to say.
While Conall was working with wolves, I was suffering from lower back pain for months. Conall placed me on a core strengthening programme along with hands on physical treatment which greatly helped my recovery and facilitated me making my first team league debut and consecutive appearances of Wolves promotion team of 2014.

I have been involved with DCU teams for a number of years. On several occasions I had the pleasure of dealing with Conall when he was AT of the Sigerson team. During assessment and rehab periods I found him to be pleasant, thorough and very professional in relation to dealing with any injuries I sustained over that period. I highly recommend Conall as sports injury specialist, you will be in safe hands.

Last November I had hip surgery to amend impingements on both sides. As you can imagine I was given a long list of rehab exercises with very little guidance as I was in college away from my county physio for long periods of time. During this time Conall was brilliant, having been through a similar surgery he took it upon himself during his final year of college to help me every step of the way, assisting me with rehab techniques, monitoring my progress, and even researching to keep up to date with the latest practices. Under his guidance I made a full recovery in time for the beginning of the 2014 football championship and had a season without any reoccurring injuries. Without his help this wouldn’t have been possible.

Conall worked with us whilst on a student placement at the beginning of 2014 for around 10 weeks and in that time proved to be a very capable Athletic Therapist. He demonstrated excellent assessment and treatment skills, far above the level expected of an undergraduate student. He is a very diligent therapist and can be relied upon to provide a first rate standard of care to any patients or athletes that he works with. I am certain Conall will go on to have an excellent career as an Athletic Therapist.
