Many of the injuries we see in our clinic occur as a result of poor movement.
Our Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) programs are aimed at improving the fundamental movement skills necessary to reduce the risk of these injuries and to maximise sport performance for a lifetime.
Courses consist of a 6 week program of sessions in our performance gym and have been influenced by the world leading research conducted at the clinic.
€90 for 6 sessions over 6 weeks.
Golf is a sport that requires high levels of very specific strength and mobility.
Our Golf Edge program is aimed and improving those qualities to help you put metres on your drive and reduce the risk of those back, knee and arm injuries so common amongst golfers.
