I have been doing Sports Therapy and Massage Therapy for 12 years. I started with Frampton Cotterell RFC in Bristol, England. Then with Roscommon Gaels Club Under 8’s, 10’s and 15’s and Minor Hurlers, Manor United FC and also Bohemians FC. I am also a volunteer with the Civil Defence, the Quad Foroige Youth Organisation in Roscommon and the Roscommon Cancer Support Centre as a Massage Therapist.
I am an associate member of STA (Swimming Teachers Association) and enjoy helping youngsters and adults with any injuries they may have.
My Affinity With GAA Sports
I have played Gaelic football and hurling for a number of years from U16 level up to and including Senior level in both sports. I have had Sprained ankles, Groin Strain Injuries, Pulled pulled ligaments to name a few so from that point of view when a client comes to me I have a great understanding of how the athlete feels when he or she comes to me for treatment.
