Sports Therapy Massage Cork with Stephen Carroll at The Natural Clinic Cork.

During my 20s, I took up playing rugby for the first time. In fact it was my first time taking up any team sport with real commitment or regularity. I wasn’t the most active of children or teenagers. I fell in love with competing and with playing rugby at this time, but my body couldn’t always keep up and injuries started to accrue. It was at this time that I started to become interested in anatomy and how the body works, how it heals, and how we can speed up the process.

With my interest peaked, I studied sports massage and completed a B.Sc in Sports Therapy. I left my job as a data analyst and set up Delta Sports Therapy. In statistics the delta is the distance between two points, and this is how I like to treat my patients. We focus on the level of pain or range of motion they are facing, which is the first point, and we look at what the pain of the range of motion should be, which is the second point. I then use hands-on therapy and exercises to return the body to where is should be (the second point).
