Injuries to the hip and groin are common in everyday activities and in the sports setting. Symptoms can come on slowly or quite suddenly. The hip and groin have a lot of structures involved, there can also be referral from the lower back or pelvis and therefore can be difficult to assess and treat. An accurate diagnosis is essential in order to educate you to the nature of your problem and get you started with the right treatment and rehabilitation.

The initial aim of physiotherapy treatment will be to settle your hip and groin pain, then restore your movement, strength and function. Your physiotherapy treatment will involve massage, dry needling, exercise management, walk/run analysis and correction. You will be advised by your physiotherapist on reloading your hip and groin and safe return to activity and sports.

We are also extremely experienced in post-surgical lower limb conditions and have worked with numerous surgeons in following post-op protocols to enable safe return to your daily activities or sports.

Excellent pilates classes with Claire. The classes are small allowing for 1-to-1 tuition and are tailored to my goals and abilities. Claire has vast experience across physiotherapy, pilates and yoga and with her instruction I have seen great benefit in strengthening my body post partum in an encouraging and safe environment. I have and will continue to recommend Claire for pilates and her physiotherapy services in the North West.

Claire Has given me back my confidence that I was able to exercise again after recovering from spinal fusion. She sets a program that suits your needs and will modify weekly is she has to. I look forward to continuing with her class after Christmas. Thank you Claire

As an avid surfer Claire understands the importance of sport and exercise to an injured patient and the affect and frustration that results from having to take time off from your chosen sport. For this reason she is committed to finding the solution which allows you to return to normality (and sanity!) as soon as possible. I felt reassured and hopeful throughout my treatment plan and impressed with the results. Claire's experience in private practice in Australia and in the public domain at home have provided her with a niche client focused approach.

Claire is an excellent physio, I initially visited her for a consultation for my hip, and also joined her pilates reformer classes to strengthen and remedy my injury. The classes are great, and have worked wonders for me. She is really invested in fixing and getting to the root cause of the injury. I would highly recommend Claire for any physio needs.

I could not recommend Claire@Sligophysiospace highly enough. She has treated me on numerous occasions over the years but most recently on my hip. I'm a runner so being injured is not something we take well!! Claire gave me a programme to strengthen the areas i needed to strengthen & she was nothing but professional & extremely knowledgeable, and thankfully I'm back on the road again. 5 * service from start to finish!

In March 2019, following a skiing accident I had shoulder surgery to repair a fracture and detached rotator cuff injury. My surgeon advised physiotherapy and I was very fortunate to come under the care of Claire McGuinness who has a wealth of experience in managing sports injuries. Following my first visit Claire designed a schedule of exercises specific for my needs and the rehabilitation of my shoulder. This combined with her excellent treatments have speeded up my recover and I am back playing golf and skiing again. I highly recommend the services of Sligo Physio Space and am very grateful to Claire in getting my shoulder fully mobile again.

After breaking my ankle a few months ago, Claire went above and beyond to help me regain the strength and movement back into it. Her guidance, advice and professionalism were fantastic and would highly recommend Claire's services to anyone.
