About The Clinic

Our clinic is located in the South East Technological University campus in Carlow. The clinic has been running for 22 years and specialises in Athletic Therapy injury treatment. It is managed by our sports rehabilitation athletic therapy students, who are supervised by lecturers who are qualified athletic therapists or physiotherapists with many years of experience. Our focus is to provide assessment and treatment of pain and injury, with the goal of resolving any physical problem that our patients may be facing.

The injuries we treat are not limited to sports-related injuries only; we welcome patients with all kinds of physical discomfort, including back pain, neck pain, arm or leg injuries, and many more.

Our approach is patient-centered, and we work closely with our patients to ensure that they receive the most appropriate treatment and care possible.
