Trialling new rehab exercises for a hip injury.

Before any exercise goes into a programme, we test it. The hip needs to be able to move well through its full range and tolerate the forces that sport places on it.

During these trials we’re looking at how the hip moves, which muscles are doing the work, and whether the joint can control load through positions that matter for running, cutting and accelerating.

Rehab isn’t just about strengthening the hip in isolation. It’s about preparing it for the real demands of sport.

The right exercise, at the right time, with the right intent.

If you’re dealing with a hip injury and want a structured plan to get back to sport properly, get in touch.

Pain isn’t always where the problem is.

This athlete came in with persistent lower leg pain.
But the origin? Higher up the chain.

Once we identified the true driver of symptoms and built a structured rehab plan around it, things changed quickly.

✔️ Address the root cause
✔️ Restore strength and capacity
✔️ Rebuild sprint mechanics
✔️ Return to performance

Now sprinting pain free and setting PB after PB this season 👏

That’s the goal. Not just reducing pain; but getting you back performing at your best.

If you’re dealing with ongoing pain or something that “just won’t settle”, there’s usually a reason.

DM to get started.

Big week all round.

🏥 Clinic remains busy with limited availability heading into next week. Appreciate the continued trust.

☀️ The sun finally showed up for a few walks with the pup, small wins.

📍Finished the week with a trip to Malahide for Valentine’s weekend. First beer of 2026 was worth the wait.

Work. Progress. Balance.

On to the next one 💪🏻

A year of work. Trust in the process.

From ACL rehab to being ready to return, this is what structured, progressive rehab looks like.

Rehab isn’t just about the knee. It’s about building the athlete back up, managing setbacks along the way, and making sure you’re confident and prepared when it’s time to step back on the pitch.

Fair play to this athlete for buying into the work from day one.

📍 Rehab with purpose. Return with confidence.

Not all pain is bad.

The right amount can drive progress but the wrong amount sets you back.

Weekly Round Up

January ticked off and hopefully into a productive Feb

Monthly clinic review done. New patients in, others discharged after hitting their goals, exactly how it should be.

AthElite still building momentum. Delighted to onboard a senior men’s GAA team and get to work with them 💪

Kept the learning ticking over too. CPD doesn’t always mean textbooks. Podcasts are an easy win in a busy week 🎧

And yes… dinner out to celebrate January being over was very much earned 🍽️

Plenty happening behind the scenes as we continue to expand services and prepare for the next phase. More to come.

Speed. Power. Jump height.
They all come back to one thing.
Vertical force production.

Jumping higher or moving faster is not about random plyos or just trying to be quick.
It comes down to how much force you can put into the ground and how well you can use it.

In this reel I show three exercises we use with our athletes to build force, turn strength into speed, and reduce injury risk.

This is the work that matters.
Not flashy. Just effective.

Save this for later.
DM AthElite if you want your training done properly.

👋 A quick re-introduction for any new faces here…
I’m Rory, the face behind Rory Mullen Physiotherapy & Strength & Conditioning.

🧑‍💼 Business owner I started this business back in 2021 as a part-time venture alongside other work. Over the past few years it’s grown steadily, with new services added along the way and since March 2025 I’ve been operating full-time. A big milestone and one I’m hugely proud of.

💍 Husband Married my wife 18 months ago in sunny Calpe surrounded by our closest friends and family☀️.

🐾 Dog dad Owner (or realistically… owned by) a very lively 4-year-old golden retriever who keeps me busy outside the clinic.

🏐 Keen sportsman I play GAA for my local club, I’m a fair-weather social golfer at best ⛳️, and I enjoy watching pretty much any sport going.

What really drives me day to day is helping people get back to full health; seeing patients return to sport, work, and everyday life pain-free, and taking pride in watching them hit goals they maybe didn’t think were possible when they first walked through the door.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported the journey so far, and if you’re new here, welcome 👋💪
