Meet Darren

Darren has recently completed his Masters in Physiotherapy in Brunel University London, with a prior degree in Athletic Therapy and Training in Dublin City University. In the final year of his undergraduate degree, he was able to complete a placement in Massachusetts in the United States, gaining valuable experience working with collegiate teams in American football and ice hockey. Darren’s passion is in sports, and having completed his undergraduate degree, was licensed in Ireland working as an Athletic Therapist across a number of sports including football and Irish sports, Gaelic football and hurling.

Darren offers a range of techniques, including trigger point release and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM) which treat fascial restrictions, encourage rapid localization and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis, chronic inflammation, or degeneration.

Having worked with athletes and out of a gym, Darren has a wide knowledge of exercises used to optimise function and improve imbalances in the body. Darren believes that for treatment to be optimal, empowering the patient with knowledge and exercises is vital for achieving the best for the patient. Having also completed a course in Mental Health during the pandemic and completing a dissertation on the topic, Darren recognises the holistic approach required for overall well-being.

Darren aims to upskill over the next year in his time away from the practice, with acupuncture and strength and conditioning courses lined up for the new year.

Outside the clinic, Darren is a huge sports fan. Having grown up by the sea in Ireland, he enjoys ocean swimming, mountain hikes and running.
