It’s a fact of life that competitive sports carry the risk of injury.
Sports Injuries Happen!.
I am available to attend sporting events such as Football, Hurling and or Rugby matches to support and treat team members with any injury that might occur.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is very beneficial for all muscle injuries in sport for players and athletes in all sports pre and post-match/competition before or after training beneficial throughout rehab from injuries.
I Understand Players & Athletes
Empathy & Understanding
I understand athletes and their mindset. I have a great understanding of how the athlete feels when he or she comes to me for treatment.
I provide a natural and realistic approach to healthcare and sports injuries, where I investigate the cause of the injury problem as well as treat the symptoms, and offer advice going forward.

“I’m a total exercise novice, Aiden gave me some really practical and realistic tips. I’ve tried so many times over the years to adopt a fitness routine, but it’s never really worked as no matter what I tried I always felt out of my depth and ended up quitting. His supportive treatment and advice have really encouraged me and I’m now finding my stride. highly recommended.”
“I injured my knee mid year 2013. I’ve been to three different physical therapists, with AR Sports Therapy Clinic being the third. I have received the best care by far from this facility. My range of motion has increased and the pain has decreased. The therapists really know what to do and how to get you back on your feet (literally). Of course you must continue the recommended exercises on your own time, which helps during and after therapy. I recommend this facility.”
“I ran the Dublin City marathon this year and i came to Aidan for a bit of physio on my case and my hamstrings and I recommend him highly.”
“Very knowledgeable and supportive!”
“Went in creased, came out Perfect!!!! Great treatment , Aidan leaves no stone unturned in fixing the problem. Definitely recommend AR to anybody suffering in pain ..”
“Brilliant service. Excellent value. You will not meet a nicer, more obliging man than Aidan Raftery. Highly recommended for all sports therapy, or even just a relaxing massage.”
I had an ongoing foot problem which was continuous for numerous weeks I then got in contact with Aiden Rafferty our 1st Team Sports Therapist and he scheduled me in for an appointment. I attended the appointment with him where I showed him my ongoing problem, straight away he got 2 work and he massaged my foot and then he strapped it for 7 days and recommended no running or any kind of sports for that duration of time. At first I didn’t see the clear image as I like to go for a run. However, as a good Sports Therapist does, he was absolutely right in the way he went about things. I rested it for the 7 days as he explained in clear detail and then when in 7 days I was up and was able to go back running more freely and without pain as I previously was the week before hand so if I ever had any injuries again in the future I would most differently be recommending Aiden Rafferty
