Profile of Darren Macfarlane, IIPT (Phys), ITEC
 Hi, My Name is Darren Macfarlane and I am a Registered Physical Therapist & Sports Injury Therapist. I specialise in musclo-skeletal conditions
not just for competitive sports people but for everyone who is
concerned about their health and well being.
I have always had a keen interest in sport, I am an active member of the West Coast Wheelers Cycling Club. I have a very long association with many sporting clubs in Galway. I am currently working with Salthill Knocknacarra Gaa and Na Piarsaigh Gaa Club.

I have worked with various other GAA clubs, Rugby and Soccer clubs over the last few years.
It was as a result
of a severe injury that I suffered myself I decided to study Sports
Injury Therapy and then Physical Therapy, it took me six months to get back on my feet and I
