I have been doing Sports Therapy and Massage Therapy for 12 years. I started with Frampton Cotterell RFC in Bristol, England.

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.

My Testimonial’s
My clients opinions as to my service matters to me, I strive to always give my clients the best of me!
“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’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.”
“Very knowledgeable and supportive!”
“Aidan works with us on the Irish Diabetic Football team. I had a knee issue recently and Aidan was excellent in diagnosing the problem and providing the right treatment. ”
