DUHALLOW Physiother­apy is a private physiother­apy and sports injury clinic owned by husband and wife team Dan and Maria McCabe. Proudly situated within the newly opened Newmarket Primary Care Centre, Duhallow Physiother­apy will offer Chartered Physiother­apy in a state of the art facility. With ample free parking and disabled access, Duhallow Physiother­apy has private treatment rooms, male and female therapists and a rehabilita­tion area which can also host exercise classes.

Dan, a native of Dromtarrif­fe, has been working in Galway City for the past seven years spending two seasons as physiother­apist for the Connacht rugby team before five years in a busy private clinic. Dan has a keen interest in musculoske­letal issues especially sports and running injuries, ACL rehabilita­tion, hip and groin injuries, shoulder injuries and foot conditions. He also has a Degree in Sport and Exercise Science and is a firm believer in exercise and movement as a pillar of health.

Maria, who is originally from Longford, has worked in private practice in Longford and has spent the last five years working in a busy city centre GP and physiother­apy clinic in Galway.

Maria has a special interest in Pilates and back/neck pain and women’s health including ante and post-natal care, incontinen­ce and pelvic pain. Maria has worked as team physiother­apist with many teams and sports: Ireland Women’s Hockey, Connacht Women’s Rugby and Galway U17 and U20 Men’s Hurling.

Extended initial assessment­s are a key feature that allow the physiother­apists to build up a full picture of the source of the symptoms. A routine initial visit (usually 45 minutes) will include the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of all musculoske­letal injuries including back/ neck pain, shoulder problems, foot and ankle disorders and knee pain. They also specialise in post-surgical rehabilita­tion for example total knee and hip replacemen­ts. Dry needling and acupunctur­e are offered as well as deep tissue massage and custom orthotics.

Physiother­apist led and designed exercise classes will be offered once the centre is up and running, including Pilates, golf fitness classes, general fitness classes, osteoporos­is classes and back health classes. There is a lot of evidence for resistance training to help with osteoporos­is, sarcopenia and osteoarthr­itis and these specifical­ly designed classes are designed to benefit the client physically as well as giving an enjoyable social outlet.

Duhallow Physiother­apy will be delighted to welcome the people of North Cork into their clinic and hope to help all customers achieve their fitness and health goals in 2020 and beyond.
