"Not knowing the area i was quite nervous as to whether i would choose a good sports therapist for my all important pre-race massage in Galway. I soon realised that i need not have worried. As soon as i met Darren i relaxed. He was extremly friendly and open, which is important when going to a sports therapist for the first time. He meticulously worked out the final drains of fatigue from my legs pior to my big race which was Ireland 70.3 in Galway. I felt like i got real value for money and a level of service that would normally be afforded to more regular customers rather than those just passing through as i was. Darren was also very helpful regarding local knowledge and as i was with my family and dog this was a real plus ! I would certainly recommend Darren to anyone and if i get to race in Galway again i will definitely go back".

''It is always a pleasure to meet such positive people as Darren is. His positive attitude really helped me to get through the difficult times. The process of whole body consideration followed by movement testing helped a lot to get a right picture of what was going on with my injury. The program combined with massage treatment was effective to treat my chronic shoulder problem. What a difference in comparison to some ice and ultrasound I received in 'normal' physiotherapy which only helped in the short term''.
Sheila Donnellan - Runner, Galway 'I have suffered with Knee Pain on and off for years, once I began to increase the distance of my running it became a real problem for me. Darren gave me a diagnosis straight away and through regular treatments and the stretches he showed me I am now hoping to run my first marathon at the end of this year'

He carried out an in-depth assessments, compiled a functional and corrective program and followed the progress of the players. Darren was really flexible in his work and gave a lot of time to the players, he promotes overall functional control, stability and range of motion through his functional plan which is essential while working with young athletes.”
