APC - Physio & Sports Clinic

Best of luck to everyone taking on the half and full marathons this weekend 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

All the hard work is done — now it’s about getting to the start line and enjoying the run. Remember to give the body some proper time to recover afterwards, especially after such a big load on the joints and muscles.

If you already have another race lined up and you notice any niggles after the race, it’s always better to get them assessed early rather than push through and risk a longer setback.

Enjoy the day!

More people are discovering the benefits of dry needling for relieving pain and tension, supporting recovery, and improving movement — so two more of our Physios are currently upskilling in this area.

We recently used part of our in-service training to build on these skills and continue learning as a team.

If you’ve been curious about dry needling and would like to see if it could help you, get in touch to book with one of our experienced practitioners.

We’re seeing a big increase in gardening-related injuries in the clinic at the moment 🌱

A lot of people are picking up back, shoulder and neck pain after long days of digging, lifting, weeding and getting the garden summer-ready.

One thing we’d always say — don’t leave it too long before getting it checked out. In general, the longer an injury or pain has been there, the longer it can take to settle down properly.

If something has been niggling for the last few weeks, it’s usually much easier to deal with early rather than waiting until it becomes a bigger issue.

Mind yourselves out there.

Less than two weeks to go until the Cork City Marathon & Half Marathon 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

At this stage, the hard training is mostly done — but plenty of runners are carrying niggles in the calf/achilles, knees, or hips after the peak weeks of mileage.

A sports massage can help:
• Reduce tightness and soreness
• Ease those small niggles before race week
• Help the legs feel fresher and lighter
• Improve recovery during the taper phase

If your legs are feeling heavy after the last few big weeks, now is the ideal time to get on top of it before race weekend.

Best of luck with the final stretch of training everyone 💪

A huge thank you to all the organisers for inviting us to attend today’s Cancer Prevention & Wellness Workshop, hosted by the Marie Keating Foundation and Dalata Hotel Group at the Clayton Hotel Cork City .

It was an inspiring and informative event, with so much valuable knowledge shared by the incredible speakers and organisations in attendance. We would highly recommend taking a look at the amazing work the Marie Keating Foundation does every single day to support cancer prevention, awareness, and education.
