Tough trip to Killannin on Tuesday night in the bad weather to play Corrib Ladies Basketball Team. Some great positives from the game and even though we were a few points short we have come such a long way since September. Great night by all no injuries and plenty of fun. Thanks to Corrib for having us and all the staff and referees who supported the teams on the night.

To all our Clients, Athletes and Recovery Warriors,

​As the year draws to a close, I wanted to take a moment to step off the sidelines and say a massive thank you.

​Whether you were hitting a new PB on the track, grinding through those "boring but necessary" rehab exercises, or finally getting back to pain-free movement, it has been an absolute privilege and pleasure to be part of your journey. Watching your discipline and resilience is exactly why we do what we do.

​Looking ahead to 2026 we are so excited to be getting back to work, other the break that is. We’ve got big goals, new milestones to hit, and—most importantly—more progress to make together.

​A final thought for the Holidays...as you head into the celebrations........please remember:

​Lifting a festive drink does not officially count as "upper body resistance training."

​Running to catch the January sales is not a substitute for your interval sprints.

​Napping after a big meal is "active recovery," but let’s not make it a full-time hobby.

​Enjoy the well-deserved rest! We can’t wait to see you back in the clinic refreshed, recharged, and ready to crush it in the New Year.

We are at 95% booking for January already so limited spaces available. Don't leave it until the last minute!

​Cheers to a healthy, strong, and injury-free 2026!

​From the Heart,
Jonathan

It has been a great year for us here in the clinic, as we settle into our second year in Athenry. We have been steadily developing our professional doctorate research into elite sports coaches learning environments and also our traditional chinese medicine and acupuncture services. We will have this rolled and complete by the end of 26. During 25 we moved into coaching environments not familiar to us especially coaching the ladies D3 basketball team here in Athenry. This has been a wonderful learning environment for us all and we are looking forward to developing this through 26.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our clients who visited us this year and look forward to working with you all again in 26. May you all have a wonderful New Year and best wishes for 26.

We started working with John over 4 years ago when he started back and secured his professional license. We spent many an hour on the phone, many and hour in our clinic keeping his body in shape, back in Monivea Gym sparing over the Christmas and many more days working hard. This journey brought John through 11 wins including KO's which culminated in his Celtic Title fight on the Katy Taylor under card in the 3 Arena. John won and became the Champ. We were over the moon. Next stop the British Title which is what last weekend was all about. Unfortunately during the fight John suffered and intracranial bleed and was taken to hospital for surgery to relieve pressure on the brain. Today John said goodbye to us only to meet us again when our time comes. We can say for sure that John will always be a champ in our hearts and minds and today we will have the best memories from our journey to keep us going in these difficult times ahead. To John's Family and Emaleen his fiance your are in our thoughts. ❤
