🎄 Merry Christmas from Rory Mullen Physiotherapy & Strength & Conditioning 🎄

Wishing all of my patients, athletes, and their families a very happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.

Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me this year — whether that was through physiotherapy, rehab, performance training, or AthElite sessions. It’s been a privilege to be part of your journeys back to health, sport, and performance.

Enjoy the festive break, look after yourselves, and I’ll see you in the New Year ready to build again 💪

2025 — a year of growth, trust & progress.

This year marked a huge step forward for the business - transitioning from part-time to full-time self-employed, expanding services, investing in new technology, and supporting more people than ever before.

From everyday aches and pains to return-to-sport rehab, from youth athletes to senior club players — thank you to everyone who trusted me with their rehab, performance, and long-term health.

I’m incredibly grateful to: • Every patient who walked through the door • Clubs, schools & teams who trusted the process • Patients who committed to getting better • Family who supported the long hours behind the scenes

2025 laid the foundations. 2026 is about building even stronger, more resilient athletes.

When is pain OK… and when is it not?

One of the biggest mistakes in rehab is either: • avoiding load completely, or • progressing too quickly.

The sweet spot is progressive overload with clear markers ✔️

If your pain is mild, movement is controlled, swelling is quiet and recovery is good — you’re probably ready to step things up.

Not sure where that line is for you? 📩 Drop us a message and we’ll guide it properly.

Getting athletes back doing what they love 🤍⚽️

Knee injuries can be frustrating, limiting and confidence-knocking — but with the right plan, guidance and progression, a full return to sport is possible.

This client put in the work, trusted the process and is now back playing football stronger than ever.

Huge credit to them for their commitment throughout their rehab process.

If a knee injury (or any injury) is holding you back, let’s address it properly and get you moving with confidence again.

Athletic groin pain isn’t about resting until it feels better.
It’s about managing load properly.

Groin injuries are highly load-sensitive.
Too much, too soon → symptoms flare.
Too little → tissues never adapt.

Rehab needs to be progressive:
• Start with tolerable loads
• Gradually increase strength, speed & range
• Progress to sport-specific movements
• Constantly monitor symptoms and response

This is how we build robust, resilient tissue — not just short-term relief.

If groin pain is limiting your training or sport, don’t guess the process.

Why rest isn’t rehab 👇

Rest can help calm pain in the short term —
but it doesn’t restore strength, movement, or load tolerance.

That’s why so many people feel better…
only for symptoms to return when activity resumes.

Whether you’re an athlete or just trying to stay active,
long-term recovery comes from progressive rehab, not avoidance.

If you’re dealing with recurring pain, let’s address the cause.

📩 DM “REHAB” or book via the link in bio.

Patient Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brendan came to us after living with shoulder pain for over a year. Together we built a treatment plan that combined hands-on physiotherapy with structured rehab - and week by week the progress started to show.

Fast-forward to today and his mobility, strength and confidence have gone far beyond what he expected.

Early action is always best, but it’s never too late to start.

If you’re dealing with something similar, we are here to help.

Rebuilding confidence from the ground up 👣

Early-stage plyometrics and jump mechanics now in place as part of this patient’s ACL rehab.

We’re layering intensity week by week, reintroducing controlled landing, elastic qualities and even light sprint-technique work.

There’s nothing better than hearing those first purposeful contacts with the floor again — a big milestone in any ACL journey.

If you’re returning from injury and need structured, evidence-based progression, message the page 📩

Achilles rehab but make it plyometric 👣

Box support ➜ band assist ➜ low-amplitude jumps.

These early-stage plyometrics gradually reintroduce tendon loading, improve energy-storing capacity, and help restore confidence in impact tasks - all essential steps before progressing to higher-demand activities.

Save for later, share with someone rehabbing!
