Profile of Darren Macfarlane IIPT (Phys)
My Name is Darren Macfarlane and I am a Registered Musculoskeletal Therapist with a clinical background in sports therapy and Rehabilitation. I have been running my own clinic for the last 16 years and I specialise helping individuals recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and improve overall mobility and function. Whether you're recovering from surgery, dealing with a sports-related injury, or experiencing discomfort due to daily activities, I offer personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. Through evidence based techniques such as manual therapy, target exercise and functional rehabilitation, I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and return to active, pain-free lifestyle.
I have always had a keen interest in sport and enjoy running and cycling. Darren who is based in Galway city has had a very long association with many sporting clubs in Galway. I am currently working with Salthill Knocknacarra Gaa Hurling club. Over the years I have also worked with their senior and Minor footballers.
It was as a result of a severe injury that I suffered myself playing soccer, I decided to study Sports Injury Therapy and then went on to qualified as Physical Therapist. it took me six months to get back on my feet and I understand fully how difficult and frustrating it is to come back from injury.
I studied at the Irish Institute of Physical Therapy and the internationally recognised Institute of Massage & Sports Therapy. As a fully registered Therapist and a member of the Irish Institute of Physical Therapy and The Irish Massage Therapists Association. I must complete 30 hours of CPD every year. So all treatments are scientific evidence based and update.
