Pain and Performance Clinic Lucan

Fantastic experience: Suffering from tennis elbow and plantar fascitis for years. The new exercises that Jack showed me are really working to control pain and for the muscles to get stronger. The clinic is a great place to treat and prevent injuries, hightly recommend it. Top class physiotherapy. Thanks Jack

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience working with Jack. He's very knowledgeable and has quickly adapted a plan that has quickly cleared several issues I was having. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. The exercises Cillian gave me have practically eliminated pain in my ankles, knees and hip. They also help you with your form on lifts which means you can lift more weight, safely. Total pros.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Jack for helping me recover & get me back on my feet post knee injury, injury & life in general has been challenging, i always look forward to our session as that gets my spirits up. Can't recommend enough Jack and Pain & Perf. clinic to anyone dealing with a knee/acl injury Background: I had a fall that led to multiple knee injuries & acl tear & knee stiff as a wood & the orthopaedic recommended pre-surgery physio. While searching for physio in Lucan near my home, I came across the clinic and the physios here have been amazing for both pre nd post surgery physio. I have been working with Jack for the last couple months and he has gone above & beyond to help with my recovery, supporting me through both in-person and online sessions to meet my needs. And currently we are working on my post surgery recovery

Fantastic experience: Can’t rate Tommy highly enough! I have had terrible back and hip pain ever since having my 2nd baby and it was really impacting my daily life and my training. Tommy provided me with a plan to get myself back to the training schedule that I wanted to be at and provided support beyond the sessions themselves. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had a foot injury which was keeping me from running. It was going on for a number of months and becoming very frustrating. I went to see Tommy at the Pain and Performance Clinic and was delighted with his programme to get me back running. The approach was very positive and focused on strengthening the tendon causing my problem and getting me running gently from very early on and building up over six or seven weeks. I'm back running now and have a set of exercises to help me continue building strength and enjoy my running.

Fantastic experience: Worked with Aaron Connolly for 6 weeks for a ligament tear I'd gotten in my ankle and, along with getting me back well in time for that injury, helped me deal with several recurring injuries I've had for years. Couldn't recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Been suffering with severe hamstring tightness over the last few years. Tommy and his team have helped me every step of the way to alleviate the pain. The exercises given to me by Tommy fit perfectly into my working week and there has been a huge improvement in my overall performance on the pitch.

Fantastic experience: Found the Pain & Performance Clinic excellent when I attended for a strained piriformis muscle which was painful and had been bothering me for about 3 months. Physio Cianna was great, really knowledgeable and recommended an exercise programme which has been very beneficial. Cianna was also able to give me exercises when I was recovering from foot surgery and they too have really helped. Would recommend the Pain & Performance Clinic for sure. Definitely my clinic of choice for physio support.

Fantastic experience: Tommy is an exceptional physiotherapist who truly knows his stuff. When I first went to him with knee issues, I was struggling with pain and limited mobility. From the moment I walked into his clinic, I felt at ease. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assessed every aspect of the condition my knee was in. Tommy's approach was both professional and personable. He explained the treatment plan clearly, outlining the exercises and techniques that would help strengthen my knee. Throughout the sessions, he was patient and encouraging, pushing me just enough to make progress without overdoing it. After a few weeks of dedicated work with Tommy, I noticed a significant improvement in my knee. The pain diminished, and I regained my range of motion. His expertise and commitment to my recovery made all the difference. I highly recommend Tommy to anyone looking for a skilled and caring physiotherapist!

Fantastic experience: I went to Tommy 6 months ago suffering with up to 4 years of chronic shoulder, lower back and trap pain that turned into basically all over my body, forearms, knees, calves, ankles everywhere was always sore every day. I stopped playing sports and going gym, my main two passions, and ended up doing nothing but small rehab given by physios. I had to stop everything as it caused me so much pain and bother, I avoided nights out as dancing was sore, I didn’t travel as much and put off living abroad as I wasn’t sure I could handle the pain in another country. Everyday I woke up stiff and sore. After 3 1/2 years of no results from lots of different physios and the pain getting worse, I was referred by a friend to Tommy as he specialised in chronic pain. All I can say is thank god he did, as I finally have a better understanding that it’s pain and not an injury as I was told multiple times by other physios. With Tommy he explained clearly I was suffering from pain not injury and that I needed movement instead of resting and not doing anything if I felt sore. He also explained and took into note my personal life, my sleeping, my breathing and other factors no physio ever asked me. Our first consultation was nearly 2 hours and nothing other than him getting to know me fully and what aspects of how I was living could be attributed to the pain. This alone sets him apart from other physios and really helped him understand just what I was going through. Once he did, he got me back moving and into the gym, something I was told not to do by other physios. I was soon back cycling and small runs. Just having these aspects of movement back made a huge change to my mental health as I had a clear path now to what I needed to do. The goal is to be back playing team sports and as of the last session I have progressed to starting plyometrics and running pitch sessions, not something I would have thought I’d be saying so soon. The whole approach is very supportive and what I personally liked was his care, with him messaging me to check up on me when I was dealing with other issues and getting on to me to keep working through the movements and not run away. This accountability was what I needed and what a lot of people need, however it’s more so physios wanting you back weekly for sessions, while with Tommy it was genuine, there was no rush to be in and seeing him the next day just that I see him within the month and keep on top of things. While the pain is not fully gone, I have a vision of what I need to do and with Tommy’s help someone I can check in with and continue to progress with. For anyone dealing with chronic pain or seeing physios who aren’t explaining what is wrong with them/getting them to come back weekly for rubs, I’d recommend Tommy hugely as someone who will do all he can to get you better and back healthy again.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here since tearing my calf in early November. Cianna, one of the physios here has been incredible in devising a very manageable plan that has consistently shown improvements from week to week. She has been brilliantly professional and personable and I have actually really enjoyed the physio experience as the whole set up just seems so well run. I can't speak highly enough about the job done and the atmosphere that obviously runs through the place. I will be continuing to attend for strengthening even after I am 100% on the calf.

Fantastic experience: Following a long term injury, that wasn't going away, even after visiting many other physiotherapists. I was reccomended the pain and performance clinic by a coach of mine, and in particular Tommy Brennan. Tommy was positive, professional and knowledgeable about what I was dealing with. Within a half hour he had me on the road to recovery. His holistic approach was new to me however following that 1st session I was all about it. Providing me with videos techniques and programmes to put me on the path to recovery. Following 4 sessions over 3 months I am back in preseason. I would reccomend Tommy and the team at the clinic if you have been suffering with long term pain or injuries.

Fantastic experience: I have suffered with lower back pain for years, with no luck from other physios. Pain and performance was recommended to me by a friend and I wish I had come sooner. Jack has been amazing with his positive approach to everything. I highly recommend Jack and the team.

Fantastic experience: Jack and all the ream have been great, have had a back injury for a few years. Hadn't been able to run in last 2 years but now back out running thanks to their attention and the tailored programme, changing it up when needed and constant encouragement. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Tommy at Pain and Performance Clinic. Went to him with a sore knee from an injury a year ago preventing me from training. After a few sessions and some exercises to do at home, the pains gone and finally able to get back to training. Thanks Tommy!

Fantastic experience: Before starting my training with P&P, I'd ongoing tennis elbow for some months, along with hip and lower back issues. The pain was getting me down TBH. Every time I reached for something with my arm it hurt like crazy and I was worried that I would be living with this permanently as I got older (I'm 60). Working with Aaron has been just wonderful. He explained to me that I needed to build up the muscles in my forearm in order to take the pressure off the tendons which seemed counterintuitive to me. I had been ever so careful with my arm, and yet being careful wasn't healing it. So, I did as Aaron suggested and we've been working on building up my strength and YES it's working (Phew). We've made great progress with the elbow, plus with my hip & lower back. Building up the muscle strength, adding in stretches to my workout has been transformative. I simply would not be where I am today without Aaron's help and knowledge. Thank you Aaron so, so much for all your help, guidance, encouragement and the laughs we have in my sessions!

Fantastic experience: I was having a slight mobility issue in my right leg which I was just putting down to my training. However, i decided to book in with Tommy for an opinion. After a quick chat with Tommy he discovered an issue in my leg. Tommy gave me new exercises to add to my existing workout plus a new warm-up procedure. After 4 weeks of this i am delighted to say i am back to my normal self. Tommy also touched base with me by phone once a week to see how I was doing and to tweak my exercise if needed. Thanks Tommy.

Fantastic experience: My physiotherapist is Cianna. I went to her about my neck pain and migraines due to this. I was at a point where i felt hopeless as i went to a physio before her and tried other methods. I didn’t believe I could get better. But straight away i felt understood and that she could help me. She is very understanding, kind and helpful. I felt happy in her care and expertise. I was given exercises to do and was told that strengthening my shoulder and back would help the pain. A few months later after doing these exercises and staying committed to physio I seen a significant difference in my pain. I was also told about breathing exercises and to not be afraid to workout and dance as dance would trigger my migraines. I felt relieved to hear that working out helped my problem. Now after I think 6-8 sessions (around 4 months) I am pain free and I have not had a migraine! I am so happy with how physio changed my life and I feel like myself again. I feel mentally and physically better. I really recommend Cianna and pain and performance clinic for pain related issues and even migraines. You can even text them asking questions which was super helpful. Thank you for everything ❤️

Fantastic experience: Following a serious fall in Dec 2023 I was left with my arm broken in a few places and facing a shoulder replacement within the year ! I attended hospital physio regularly, however in April '24, my results although a bit improved, still had me facing surgery in October's '24. My son had always spoken about Tommy & the Pain & Performance clinic and he urged me to at least give it a try and see if they could help me and possibly avoid the need for the surgery as I was dreading that prospect. Subsequently, I had a consultation with Tommy and signed up, initially twice a week for a few months .My one to one sessions, mainly with Jack changed everything - apart from my arm, my overall strength improved and each week I felt my pain decreasing (reducing my need for the strong pain meds I was on) plus my arm mobility was increasing , also the classes were so enjoyable and everyone there is so upbeat and positive. SO I had my hospital appointment in October to discuss mainly the progress on my other 'breaks', and make a date for the surgery - but, following a scan the consultant looked at me & said, quote"there'll be no surgery, your shoulder looks magnificent"his exact words ! .. I am overjoyed as the physio & hard work paid off -I'm still attending the Pain & Performance clinic albeit I've changed to a semi private class and continue to build my strenght and regain my physical confidence Thank you Tommy and all the staff and especially Jack who pushed me and wouldn't allow me to give up

Fantastic experience: The gold standard. Have had 2 surgical rehabs and one prehab with Tommy and the team with great results. The team does a great job of taking account of the bigger picture - and all of my programs have been engaging and enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: hello everyone, i was experiencing pain in the lower back centre of my spine.i came here for help, and i have not looked back.they knew exactly what exercises.to get me to do. Explained them to me, and videod me as i was doing them, for to help me remember them at home.after 5 visits ,i am already experiencing the benefits, and ,pain relief,i cannot recommend them more.,i am sure they can help you as well.

Fantastic experience: Attended Caitlin for a shoulder injury. The pain was waking me at night and I wasn't able to exercise (swimming). Caitlin was excellent, walked me through how to build up the area again and I saw huge improvement from week to week. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I started visiting the clinic back in March 23 after a recommendation from another physio that physio led rehab was the best path to achieve my goals. I had just returned to running the previous September after having both hips replaced and ankle surgery in recent years. I knew I needed to step up my recovery plan a notch to stand any chance of ever running a marathon again. From my initial meeting with Sean to my sessions with Kaitlyn and then Kait the team couldn't have been more supportive and I found the atmosphere in the clinic was was more relaxed and less intimidating than any gym. Kait, who I trained with mostly, was there every step of the way and always available to message on any questions at any time. Her knowledge and experience was key in taking a measured approach to my recovery. She realised I need to prioritise regaining my mobility first before we could even look at a proper strenghtening plan and a plan to build milage. A meniscus injury last September was met with full support and even during the days I doubted myself, Kait always had my back. Finally despite breaking my pinky toe 8 weeks ago (which Kait got me through too) I completed the Dublin marathon last Sunday! I also know I've a good base to build on now and am now signed up for the Belfast marathon in May. A big thank you to Kait and the team for everything. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Pain and Performance clinic enough. I was training for the marathon and just before my last long run I injured myself and could barely walk. I thought the marathon wouldn’t happen for me this year. But Cianna worked with me and got me on a plan that turned things around in 10 days. I went out and ran my fastest marathon in 15 years. I am so grateful. I can’t recommend P&P enough and a big shout out to Cianna.

Fantastic experience: I came in to see Aaron with severe back pain that had come on suddenly as well as hip and knee pain. Aaron is very skilled, kind and patient, and really takes the time to listen and understand the issue. He is very professional and has a great ability to explain every step of the process clearly and always ensures that I understand what I need to do. He was able to create a plan for me that has greatly improved the pain and I am very grateful to him for it!

Fantastic experience: After struggling with persistent lower back pain and neck pain for months I decided to give pain and performance clinic a try. From the first session, Tommy was incredibly attentive and tailored the treatment to my needs. The exercises and techniques he used made a noticeable difference, and I'm now pain-free and back to my regular activities. The environment is welcoming, and the staff is friendly. If you're dealing with any pain, definitely visit.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended to anyone for Physiotherapy or PT. Tommy looked after my ACL rehab and other injuries years ago before I moved abroad and I've recently went back to him for back and neck pain since returning home. He's on the ball and does the business for me anytime I have an injury. Very thorough with whatsapp follow ups and exercise videos.Not only that but the new personal training facility in Lucan is top and is a very comfortable enviornment, created by all the great staff, for absolutely anyone no matter fitness level. Thanks Tommy

Fantastic experience: I had been suffering with reoccurring glute and hamstring injuries for the past four years before going to see Tommy in February of 2024. It was incredibly frustrating paying physios, doing rehab each year but still ending up with the same injuries. It started to affect my love for football and confidence when playing as it became extremely difficult to manage. In my first session with Tommy, he informed me of our plan going forward for the next few months to get me fully fit before championship, which I was delighted to hear. I had never heard or been told a lot of what Tommy was telling me, despite having so many physios the past 4 years! He reassured me this injury was treatable and explained to me why I have not been able to successfully treat this injury in the past. He made sure I was aware of and understood past mistakes in comparison to his plan for me, which I found very helpful and reassuring. I really can’t thank Tommy enough for his incredible support and dedication in making sure I don’t suffer with this injury again. His knowledge and expertise allowed me to regain my strength, muscle and confidence while following a personalised rehab plan. I have not seen Tommy since May but he continues to check in with me regularly, giving me plans to maintain the strength and urges me to reach out to him if I ever have any issues or even just to let him know how I’m getting on! It is clear how much Tommy and his clinic care about their clients. If you are looking for a physio who has experience playing sport, dealing with tough injuries and getting the best results possible, I highly recommend Tommy and the Pain and Performance clinic.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for the pain and performance team. I have cerebral palsy and I also injured my knee from karate and before I went to pain and performance I was in so much pain that I wasn’t sleeping and leaving the house. On the first appointment Tommy gave me a different perspective on what to do and how to look at everything it was a lot different to what I had been told before. I worked with Kait mostly and she helped me strengthen my legs by helping me build a gym program and focusing on specific exercises to help build strength in my legs. I am so grateful I am in a lot less pain and I am able to what feels like live my life again without worrying about being in pain or any injuries.

Fantastic experience: Excellent set up and brilliant help to me in my recovery from an AC Joint dislocation. Physio Jack designed an individualised rehab plan which helped me progress each week. Very happy with the overall service.

Fantastic experience: I can't thank Tommy enough for his incredible support and dedication in getting me back playing and competing in my sport again. After dealing with several injuries that had me side-lined for months, his expertise and personalised rehab plan allowed me to regain my strength and confidence step by step. Tommy's attention to detail and understanding of my specific needs as an athlete were invaluable. If you're looking for a physio who truly understands athletes and knows how to get results, I highly recommend Tommy and the Pain and Performance Clinic.

Fantastic experience: I joined Pain & Performance a couple of years ago after undergoing major abdominal surgery and then breaking my foot. I have attended the 1:1 PT and strength & conditioning classes since then. Everyone working there is brilliant, the coaches are all very knowledgeable and friendly and have gotten me back to myself after a lot of work! I have been working with Cianna most recently and I have come on leaps and bounds, I can say that I feel stronger than I have ever been with her help and guidance (despite my moaning). I’d recommend anyone to attend here for physio and training!

Fantastic experience: I had been suffering with groin pain for a year and a half before I visited Tommy. The injury (Athletic Groin Pain) is very frustrating as it can be hard to diagnose and can disappear for a time and then recur. It prevented me from running, cycling and gym work for over a year. Tommy is incredibly knowledgeable and had come across this type of injury many times before. He explained clearly the nature of the injury, reasons for it, treatment needed and the recovery time frame involved. The programme put in place by Tommy and the communication throughout was superb. Thanks to his support, encouragement and excellent care I am now back running and training. It is also a fantastic gym and clinic. The facilities are great and the staff are all very friendly and are clearly experts in their field. I highly recommend Tommy and his team.

Fantastic experience: I did some work with Kait for a lower back / sciatica issue. The environment is so friendly and professional. After a few sessions I am moving much more freely and am back training full time. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I have recently completed my acl rehab journey with Tommy at Pain and Performance Clinic and after 9 months of hard work under Tommy's guidance I am now back on the pitch feeling as good as I was pre-injury. Before my operation, Tommy had given me exercises to do to strengthen the muscles around my knee. I found this to be very beneficial coming out of the surgery as it aloud me to get out of the blocks quickly with the rehab. In the early stages of the rehab, Tommy focused on getting my knee back mobile through full flexion and extension. Nailing this down early helped me regain full range of motion in my knee which made going into the first block of strength work a lot smoother. When we moved into the strength work, I had a slight mental barrier which most have after a surgery like this, and at times I was cautious with certain movements of my knee. But Tommy had a very simple but effective approach to my problem. He reminded me that my knee was now structurally repaired and that the only way my knee was going to get better was by slowly but surely moving it like a 'normal' knee again. After I took this on board I felt my mindset shifted completely to where it needed to get to. I wasn't half doing exercises or afraid to expose my knee to certain positions and the exercises gradually became easier. After we kicked on with the strength work, each time I visited Tommy he wasn't shy in progressing the exercises when he knew I was able to do a bit more with the knee. Having him there to help me push that extra percent each time helped me build confidence in my knee but also the rehab plan. Eventually after a couple of months of work, Tommy integrated some basic plyometric exercises into my rehab which implemented some jumping / running / landing techniques. This was the first time my knee was exposed to these movements post-op and I had no issues in doing any of them which led me to be more confident in the ability of my knee. After this it wasn't long until I was back running on the pitch doing straight line runs and then gradually moved into some change of direction work. When I went back to Santry for the 6 month post-op testing on my knee, most of my scores were in the top 1% of the tested exercises and to me it wasn't a surprise due to how well the rehab had gone. After this milestone, I was cleared for non-contact training which Tommy made tailored drills for me to get my brain and knee back used to certain game movements/scenarios. Before Tommy cleared me for full contact sessions, he put me through conditioning sessions whilst also working the knee while it was tired putting it in positions it would find itself in a game (jumping, landing, turning, reacting). After Tommy got me up to speed with this type of work he cleared my to go back to full-contact and once I was cleared I knew I was ready to jump straight in. The best part about Tommy guiding me or anyone through their rehab is that he has played sport at a high level himself so he can relate to you going through your rehab and he's aware to some of the challenges you might face. I would highly recommend Tommy to anyone who is looking to get started on their rehab journey as anytime I have had to overcome an injury he has been the one who has helped me get back better each time! Thanks Again

Fantastic experience: I had been suffering with lingering knee and hip pain and was allowing it to affect my daily activity levels. After my first visit to Tommy , he totally helped me reframe my thought process, provided me with a personalized programme to strengthen the area and had me back to the active lifestyle I love straight away. Three visits later the area is so much stronger. Tommy has tailored the programme to fit my lifestyle. I highly recommend the clinic. Their approach, optimism and support are unwavering.

Fantastic experience: Tommy was recommended to me from a number of people to help deal with a recurring hamstring injury. From the get go Tommy’s approach to rehab and recovery was unique to others and I found it brilliant. His rehab programme was very clear and well demonstrated which gave me a lot of confidence. Would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: I suffered with a hamstring injury from late last year when this was a recurring issue i had for months i was advised to go and get appointment in pain and performance clinic i haven’t looked back at all From moment you step inside it feels like the clinic and the physiotherapist bond together i felt like he genuinely cared about my injury and almost treated it like it was his own i’m am now back playing the sport i love and not worry about any injury i feel a lot strong and no nerves around the injury either the physiotherapist still to this day i haven’t seen him in 2 months he still text me to make sure everything is going okay and create plans for the week ahead

Fantastic experience: I was out of work with a shoulder injury after having an accident on my bike. I was unable to raise my arm above my head and was in a sling. I searched for a physio nearby and came across Pain and Performance who had great reviews. Tommy diagnosed my injury and said he'd have me back to new with a plan put together for my recovery. Aaron Connolly looked after me from there on and I can't speak highly enough of him. I was noticing significant improvements and had full range of movement back after a few sessions. As the sessions went on the pain had vanished and Aaron had me back on the bike in no time, as promised . Thanks very much Aaron, Tommy

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Tommy and his team for 6 months now. I've always had a strain on my hip/lower back and just thought it was part of getting older (something I had to deal with). I was pushed (within my comfort zone) and given a easy to carry out plan to get on the mend. I am back training full range of motion and better than ever. You won't regret going to Pain and Performance but you might regret not going earlier.

Fantastic experience: I had constant lower back pain and sciatica down my left leg and particularly in my left ankle. Had to stop exercising and gym training and had pain at night in bed. Got recommended to see Tommy in the Pain and Performance Clinic. Tommy carried out a good, physical assessment and provided me with a number of basic exercises with a video link to my phone. After 3 weeks I was improving and had another review session with Tommy where he fine tuned the exercises and advised to continue with the program. Now, around 7 weeks later I am fully pain free and back training and exercising as normal.

Fantastic experience: I went to Pain and Performance Clinic with a hamstring injury a few weeks ago. With championship around the corner I was determined to get back to playing camogie. I couldn’t have done that without the help and guidance of Jack. Jack got me back playing in time for championship by progressing my recovery and exercises each week and pushing me to challenge myself and my injury. He is very outgoing, approachable, and is great at what he does. I would highly recommend the service at Pain and Performance clinic.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been receiving physiotherapy from Jack this year, and it has made a tremendous difference in my life. His expertise and personalized approach have greatly improved my mobility and overall well-being. Jack is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely cares about his clients’ progress. I highly recommend there services to anyone looking to improve their physical health.

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Aaron for the incredible care and support you’ve provided throughout my treatment. Thanks to your expertise and dedication, I am now pain-free and able to enjoy life without the discomfort that once held me back. More power to you.

Fantastic experience: Review has been a long time coming. I came to Tommy initially with knee pain after years without an ACL and on/off issues. I was worried I needed another surgery but we did targeted strength training and my knee is no longer an issue. I continued to train here to support healthy hormones and now a healthy pregnancy as weight lifting is very beneficial. The P&P trainers provide me with effective work outs that deliver results. The whole staff is very personable, knowledgeable and it’s just been an overall great experience working with them. Thanks a mil!

Fantastic experience: I came to Tommy after suffering an ACL injury, and I couldn't be more grateful for his help throughout my recovery process. He was incredibly knowledgeable, offering a positive and encouraging approach from day one. He provided me with all the tools and guidance I needed to get me back on the pitch, consistently checking in making sure everything was going smoothly. Thanks to his support, I’m now back on the field and feeling stronger than ever. Highly recommend Tommy and all of the Pain and Performance team for anyone looking to recover from an injury and get back to doing what they love.

Fantastic experience: Back in January 2024, I injured ligaments in my big toe really badly. The pain was inhumane and the swelling/discolouring never really went. After months of rest, rehab, physio appointments, and cortisones not working - I began to lose faith in ever playing football again. Pain & Performance and Tommy were recommended to me by a friend and it was the last throw at the dice for getting back to football for myself - my friend told me that Tommy will tell me exactly how it is, whereas with other physios it felt like they were telling me what I wanted to hear. I went through my first session with Tommy and he adopted a totally new approach to what I was used to, he wanted me to start putting my toe under pressure and get it working again, as it had got very weak over the months I have missed. Tommy gave me a detailed day by day plan and I followed it to a tee. Every time I went back there we would ramp things up and I started to get more comfortable with running/gym work again. Every session there was progress, not only physically - but also mentally. I started to really believe that I could comeback to football in some sort of facet. Just 6 weeks after seeing Tommy for the first time, I played the first few minutes of game-time for my club again. Due to the individual sessions that he gave me, I did not feel like I was far behind in terms of fitness either. I highly recommend the Pain & Performance Clinic for your recovery, they are worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: I was in an accident, which resulted in me not being able to train in MMA or hit the gym. I was limited in what I was able to do in work. My neck and back were extremely tight, and one of my knees was limiting my ability to move freely after attending sessions with Aaron from Pain and Performance. I was able to manage to ease most of the tightness and strengthen the weakened muscles. This helped me get back to hitting the gym hard and training. They were extremely understanding and encouraging. I would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Have used P&P on multiple occasions over the years and have always found them great. Most recently it was to treat tendinitis in my foot which fully stopped me from doing any running. Cianna was quick to identify the issue and built out a strategy with mix of targetted exercises, massages and gradually increasing the running load over several weeks and got me back on track just in time before the marathon.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend the clinic more, Cianna was my physiotherapist in the clinic and she was brilliant, I had dislocated my shoulder and she helped me massively to get back playing sport and was in contact with me frequently. Definitely recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Id highly recommend Pain and Performance. After a long stint of injury I went to Tommy and it completely changed my whole perspective on injury and coming back from it. Both myself and the coaches at my gym were sent videos of my rehab exercises which allowed them to support me through my rehab and was crucial to me keeping on top of it. I learned alot from the whole process and the due care given by Tommy and the the team can't be beaten. 5 stars from me.

Fantastic experience: I went to Jack with a shoulder pain. He is such a lovely & approachable guy . Within 4 sessions the pain is gone & he has given me the tools & skills to strengthen all my muscles. I would highly recommend Jack as he knew straight away what the pain was & how to combat it.

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough of the incredible care I received from Tommy at pain and performance clinic out in Lucan. As a nurse working long shifts and an athlete playing two demanding sports, my schedule is intense. I was dealing with a knee injury for the last couple of weeks, making it nearly difficult to train or play at the level I’m used to. The pain was not only affecting my performance on the pitch but was also creeping into my work, making it hard to keep up with my responsibilities. From my very first session, Tommy approached my situation with a positive, optimistic attitude that immediately put me at ease. They took the time to understand my hectic lifestyle, including the physical demands of my job and my commitment to training/matches 6-7 days a week. What impressed me most was how they looked at the whole picture – balancing my recovery with my work and sports schedules. Tommy developed a tailored plan to help me manage my load, reduce my pain, and gradually build back my strength without compromising my other responsibilities. They provided me with everything I needed from targeted exercises to hands-on treatment and equipped me with the knowledge and tools to take care of myself outside of the clinic. Thanks to their expert guidance and support, I was able to return to the pitch much quicker than I anticipated and in time for championship. If you’re looking for a physio who listens and will go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals, I highly recommend Tommy and co. They not only got me back playing in the timeframe I needed but also helped me find a way to manage my workload and performance going forward.

Fantastic experience: Came to Tommy with a knee injury that kept me sidelined for over two months and thanks to all of Tommy’s work and guidance I got back on the pitch last week after a short rehab period. Tommy gave me a clear plan to follow to get back playing. Would highly recommend Tommy if you have any injury and need to get back on the pitch or just back enjoying day to day life

Fantastic experience: I have been to Pain and Performance plenty over the years and my injuries have always healed under Tommy’s therapy. My recent injury was a bad meniscus tear, everything Tommy told me to do improved it and even when I couldn’t get to the gym he gave me bands and weights to bring home so that I could keep progressing. I couldn’t recommend Pain and Performance anymore, if you have an injury, they will diagnose it and give you a path to recovery.

Fantastic experience: I started with pain and performance clinic one year ago following my surgery to remove plate and screws from my leg, from the first visit with kait morris I felt the knowledge and expertis that she have she know how to push me to get stronger and stronger every session, when I look back to the video that I had about my training when I first started with her, I can see the difference in my strength, thanks to her advice. I highly recommend pain and performance clinic to get strong and fit it was privilege training by kait who is athletic coach, certify nutritionist and certify pre and post natal coach

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended anyone who needs physio or help with pain or injury to get in contact with the Pain and Performance Clinic in Lucan. I had been struggling with a hamstring injury for a while and thanks to Tommy and his team I am back playing. The Pain and Performance team gave me clear instructions and videos of the exercises that I had to do to get my injury sorted and every couple of days they were in contact with me to check how my rehab was going.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Jack at the Pain & Performance clinic.I had a recent ligament issue and with Jacks guidance and treatment plan it helped immensely. I found having the videos of me doing the various exercises in the clinic a great help and for future reference.

Fantastic experience: Pain & Performance clinic have been a life saver for me. Jack has been brilliant and so very patient. My lower back pain is now manageable and I have control over it. Jack has given me the tools to manage and control my issue. I would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Aaron was very helpful in working with my 13-year old baseball-playing son who had developed painful rotator cuff tendonitis in his right shoulder. The strength and conditioning programme he prescribed resolved the injury in less than 5 weeks. I would safely say that by the end of the sessions, my son was both stronger and more limber than he was prior to working with Aaron. At the initial consultation, Aaron wrote a time chart specifying the process and the exercises required to reach each level of healing. He “videod” each of the exercises as my son did them for him to watch and emulate at home. Very knowledgeable, thorough and pleasant. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I attended here regularly from March to July 2024. I had been suffering with shoulder pain for about a year and could not seem to find anyone to help get rid of it. I dealt with Jack in the Pain and Performance Clinic and found him to be incredibly knowledgeable, professional and helpful. My shoulder pain is virtually gone thanks to Jack. I am back playing sport and going to the gym as a result of his treatment.

Fantastic experience: Had a very sore lower back/ hip pain postpartum (4/5months). It was still sore when resting, standing up, lifting baby etc. had no confidence in getting back to exercising and was worried about causing more damage. Kait was brilliant in assessment, explanation, sports massage and guiding me through the exercises which literally took ten minutes a day (just about manageable when you have a baby). I feel delighted that after four sessions, I am in no pain, the videos on how to follow up the exercises at home were extremely useful. If any mums out there are suffering, I’d recommend this clinic with no hesitation . The staff are friendly, the clinic spotless and they will honestly help you out. Many thanks to Kait and the team!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend the Pain and Performance Clinic Lucan highly enough! I came to the clinic with persistent knee and shin pain that had been troubling me for a couple of weeks. From the very first session, Aaron Connolly's expertise and dedication were evident. He took the time to develop a personalized treatment/strength plan that addressed my specific needs. Aaron's approach is very professional, he explained each step of the process clearly, ensuring I understood the exercises. Within a few sessions, I noticed significant improvements in my pain and strength levels. His encouragement and positive attitude made each session enjoyable and motivating. Thanks to Aaron, I am now pain-free and have gained significant strength to support me in my running goals.

Fantastic experience: Went to Kait with lower back injury from cycling. She identified my pain areas very quickly and provided a set of exercises over a 6 week period which eventually cured the pain and strengthened my lower back.

Fantastic experience: I can not say enough good things about the team here in P&P. They have helped me get back to a healthy quality of living. Beforehand, i suffered from terrible back pain, and they have coached me on getting better and dealing with the flare ups. They are also a really nice friendly and fun group who I have a lot of confidence and trust in!

Fantastic experience: Can't thank enough to Aaron, Alan and Jack for all the efforts they put up to help me on my rehab for my stress fracture on my spine! Always availble to help, very friendly environment and they have a very personalised set up for you to make sure you achieve your results. Keep the good work!

Fantastic experience: I was experiencing positional vertigo and saw Kaitlin for a few seesions. She was very helpful and reassuring. She performed a vestibular manouver that corrected the vertigo. I'm very happy with the result and would recommend these guys to anyone. Thanks Kaitlin.

Fantastic experience: My back injury has hugely improved since I have consistently attended the pain and performance clinic which has enormously benefited me as a Mother with two very young children. Kait has designed programs for me to follow at every stage from pregnancy to post partum, ensuring that I am building strength. The support every step of the way has been amazing!

Fantastic experience: Since I took up running 6 years ago Tommy Brennan of Pain & Performance Clinic Lucan has been my right hand man whenever anything goes wrong! 110% I can depend on Tommy to get me back on track!. Having reached new heights in a short space of time including National F65 5k record holder & recently on F65 4 x 800m relay new World record Team it is reassuring to know Tommy is in your corner on the struggling days. This happened recently following the Cork marathon when I suffered a foot injury & thought my running days were over. After following Tommy’s exercise plan, advice & receiving sports massage I am once again back to marathon training. .back on track so to speak! I cannot recommend Tommy & his Team at Pain & Performance Clinic highly enough. You will not be disappointed & you will get to where you need to go. Mary Browne, Track, Cross Country & 5k - Marathon runner

Fantastic experience: Tommy and the team at Pain and Performance are top notch, far and away the best physio experience I’ve had. I’ve had chronic lower back pain for 14 years. I was at a low ebb when I came to Tommy in February, I’d gone through so many physios over the last decade and hadn’t managed to string together more than two months of exercise without breaking down, it was exhausting and demoralising. I’m now approaching the 6 month mark doing the PT work with all the guys in Pain and Performance and in significantly less pain, feeling stronger and confident I’m on a path to keep improving. Would highly recommend Tommy, Jack and all the guys at Pain and Performance. Hugely professional, personable and, most important of all, effective.

Fantastic experience: I went to Tommy after 4 years of Chronic Lower Back Pain, I had tried numerous treatments with various Physios and Physical Therapists. I had pain injections, Epidurals and Pulse Radio Frequency carried out by Neurologists. Everyone tried their best to find the source of the Pain based on an MRI Scan that stated mild disc degeneration of L4 and L5. I had pain every day and it massively effect my life. Tommy’s Treatment approach was totally different to everyone else, it was personal and focused. Through a slow and steady exercises journey over 6 months I am now pain free. I cannot recommend Tommy highly enough.

Fantastic experience: After a major sholder operation and leg pain I got recommended to pain and performance. On my first visit I met up with Kait who assessed my condition and worked out a plan for my recovery. Each week after that, with Kait and her teams help, I started to feel the benefit of their professional treatment. So much so that I was now able to go back to my daily walks without the leg pain and then a few weeks later able to go back to work for the first time since my operation. I highly recommend the team at pain and performance in Lucan for anyone in a similar situation as myself.

Fantastic experience: Tommy, along with Sean, James and the team, helped me manage an ongoing groin/hip injury through a GAA season and gave me the guidance to be able to play every game. The regular check ins every week to plan my training load were a big help for me being able to play games. The rehab was well explained and given in a clear and easy to follow way. They were very easy to contact with questions or issues and got back to me very quick. Great service!

Fantastic experience: I had an ongoing shoulder pain that traveled down my arm, which was very uncomfortable and hurt when I slept on it. I wasn’t able to go to the gym or train. Working with Kait to better understand the issue and get physical therapy along with great strength and conditioning exercises has help me get back to myself again. Many thanks Kait!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience from start to finish with Tommy. I came in with knee pain - I was running long distance and was hobbling in pain by the end of my runs. Tommy was very supportive and realistic with what I needed to do to get back to full fitness. It only took two sessions to get me back running again and working towards being pain free. What I liked most was that I was given the information and exercises to do without having to visit the clinic too often. I got regular check-ins and could ask for support or advice at any time. Highly recommend - 5 ⭐

Fantastic experience: Was working with Jack to rehab my twisted ankle and get back playing gaa. Tailored my recovery for exactly what i could handle. Was contactable to reassure me in the early stages of teh recovery and always very helpful, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend his services. Many thanks

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Alan over the past few months following a persistent hamstring that kept coming back since July last year. Alan was exceptionally professional and supportive throughout the whole process. He gave me a clear structured plan with videos and messages detailing and explaining the exercises and running. Alan was constantly checking in with me and offering feedback to my queries and setbacks. With Alan’s support I’m back playing hurling and feeling confident in my movement again.

Fantastic experience: Started my eversion ankle sprain recovery journey with Alan and he was excellent with everything. Spent 7 weeks with pain and performance and I feel even stronger than before the injury. The rehab and sprint exercises incorporated into the plan pushed me to the limit and kept me fit whilst recovering. I cannot recommend Alan enough for his constant hard work and knowledge.

Fantastic experience: A couple of months back I had issues with tendonitis in my knees, where I was struggling to walk upstairs at some points and always had shooting pains when I ran. With the help of Alan, I was able to build up the strength in my knees which allowed me to keep playing with an active recovery. During this recovery I then picked up a knock on my calf, and had a tear in my hamstring. I was expected to be told I’d be out for a month or two and then I could begin rehab, however Alan was able to keep me on a plan that led me to continue rehabbing my knee, calf and hamstring all at once, without losing fitness in the process. The past few months have been massing for getting me back on the pitch and not having any pains or worries when I step out there all thanks to Alan! Highly recommend anyone to himself no matter what the scale of injury.

Fantastic experience: I started physio with Aaron at Pain and Performance after my elbow fracture and I can’t recommend Aaron and everyone at Pain and Performance Clinic enough! All my worries were reassured by Aaron straight away with the professional approach to my rehab that made me feel confident to return back to all sports. Couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone looking at a physiotherapist to work with

Fantastic experience: After going to another physio 3/4 times with an ankle injury keeping me out of any sports activity and especially basketball I booked in with kait. The recovery plan was extremely tailored to me injury and personal which was needed. After a handful of sessions I was back playing basketball and increased my overall strength durability too. Can not recommend kait enough

Fantastic experience: Over a few months, Alan carefully guided me through a series of progressively challenging arm exercises, following a stubborn tendon injury that was not going away. He was at all times professional, patient, and encouraging. Exercises were tailored to suit my level, the limited equipment I had at home, and realistic plans were clearly laid out following each visit. I'm almost back to 100% and know for sure I would still be struggling if I had not worked with Alan. I now feel confident to finish out my rehab myself, getting back to 100%, knowing that I can check in with Alan if needs be Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I went to Tommy a few months ago with knee pain I was experiencing after increasing my training intensity. He quickly diagnosed the root cause of the pain and developed a comprehensive plan to address it. I'm back to training normally now, knowing how to manage any flare ups if needed! Thanks Tommy!

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic experience with Pain and Performance. I met Alan at the end of March, with a painful hip muscle which has prevented me from running for three months. He immediately diagnosed damage to my hip flexor. I got a rough plan for road to recovery with a 5k run target. I went back to Alan every two weeks and had a half hour session where I got a schedule of exercises for the subsequent two weeks. I started building running into the schedule after three sessions and am now back to a completely pain free 5k. I have never gone through a process like this for an injury before but I found it really good and I am now much stronger and less achy than I have been in years. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend Pain and Performance.

Fantastic experience: I came into Jack and the team in early January with an injured hip flexor. Immediately he knew the issue and he knew what had to be done to fix it. Jack gave me a fixed schedule and adjusted it slightly every week to gain improvements and by sticking to it, I’ve got back to playing football again. Five months later, I’m back on the pitch. From not being able to walk up the stairs or raise my leg to sprinting and playing on the pitch again was all due to the help I received from Jack. He helped me understand the injury in precise detail and helped me maintain confidence that I would be back in no time. He has been an immense help and I couldn’t recommend Jack and the team enough. ☺️

Fantastic experience: I brought my son here with an injured hip and the care, attention and specified physio meant in a very short time he went from limited movement to be back to a full return to all his sport. He also feels much stronger in the injured area and he continues to use the exercises.

Fantastic experience: I have been with the Pain and Performance Clinic for 4 months now. I first attended to see their physio Alan Egan with some knee pain which was affecting my running. Alan assessed the knee and then took considerable time and interest to discuss my level of activity, my routine and especially where I wanted it to get back to. I am a distance runner with a considerable number of long events behind me and Alan recognised the frustration of what not being able to run meant to me. Over several weeks in 1 to 1 sessions he devised and tailored a program for me designed to not only strengthen back my knee but also focus on rounding out the weaknesses that were contributing to my issues. Alan guided me through every exercise and the reasoning behind it and checked in with me frequently to see how I was progressing, answering any questions I had. As things started to improve Alan moved me on to a 4 to 1 class structure in the Pain and Performance Clinic where I have access to my own bench and all the equipment I need to do training session under the supervision of the always helpful and encouraging Pain and Performance staff. After several months thinking I wouldn’t get back to any real form, I am finally back to a consistent and pain free level of performance and understanding the need for a wider and more rounded training program to achieve my goals. I would highly recommend the Pain and Performance clinic not only to address any issues you have but to move you from recovery back towards performing at your best.

Fantastic experience: I had a long standing issue that I'd been to multiple people with over the course of 6 months. Alan had the issue diagnosed almost immediately and had me sorted in two sessions. He also provided me with excellent tutorials on my phone and aftercare to make sure I was doing ok. Couldn't recommend him enough and I'm very grateful also!!

Fantastic experience: Suffered a shoulder injury while playing football and Kait was excellent in helping me get back to full fitness. She was able to identify the exact injury and gave me exercises that really helped. I would definitely recommend anyone suffering from a sports injury to book an appointment with this clinic

Fantastic experience: I met Jack & the team in December as a bit of a last hope, looking to get some guidance on dealing with consistent knee pain. Over the past 6 months of training with Jack I have surpassed any expectations of what I hoped to achieve at the outset. Not only have we worked to understand and deal with my pain, I have managed to step back onto a hurling pitch for the first time in 4 years, something I had given up all hope on when I first met with Jack. I cannot recommend Jack & all of the staff highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I had been to several doctors, physios and had MRIs for my back pain, however I felt there was no improvement in my pain. A friend recommended Pain and Performance clinic, after reading the positive reviews I decided to make an appointment. After my first visit I felt a reduction in pain and only a couple of months later I was back running again.

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased with the services from Pain and Performance Clinic and Jack in particular. From being in a lot of pain and limited mobility with my shoulder and elbow issues to now being pain free and back to full training, Jack has worked wonders. He listened to the issues I had and explained all the rehab exercises and the rationale behind doing each one in an understandable way. Jack’s professional yet relaxed and pleasant demeanour means I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to him if I have any future injuries. Thanks a mill, Jack!

Fantastic experience: I got in touch with Tommy at the beginning of April, I got an appointment with Alan for the 9th April. I was in severe pain in my hip from a football match.From the get go Alan got a plan in place for me with exercises. I went to see Alan for a further 3 weeks, last week he done some back to play exercises with me. He was constantly in touch with me t throughout my recovery to make sure all was going ok and his support made me push hard to get back to 100%. I went and played a match last Friday after the all clear from Alan without any problems. I couldn’t recommend Alan highly enough. Delighted to be back playing again much appreciated Alan ⚽️

Fantastic experience: I first attended the clinic with tendonitis but an MRI confirmed I had a severe tear which greatly impacted my everyday life. Tommy immediately put in place a programme for me to follow both at home and in my gym. All exercises were videoed & sent to my phone for me to follow. He told me it would take months of tough work but with his encouragement, support and exercise programme I can definitely feel the improvement. I cannot recommend him & his team highly enough. Pam

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience with this clinic. I was referred to Alan for sudden knee pain two weeks out from a marathon. He helped to not only treat my injury and readjust my training plan, but also to encourage me that I would still be able to race. That reassurance was a major help on the day and I'm delighted to continue working with him now in my post-event recovery. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Recently attended pain and performance clinic for an Achilles injury. I had a 10k race coming up that I wanted to run and Alan provided me with a plan to follow, his encouragement and support was excellent. I got through the race successfully and even got a check in from Alan afterwards to check how it went. I been to pain & performance clinic for injury recovery a number of times and find them excellent.

Fantastic experience: I found the clinic when looking for a physio in my area. At my first appointment I met with Alan and he took the time to onboard me and listen to the symptoms of my shoulder injury. Within a few minutes of consult Alan had quickly and effectively diagnosed the cause/source of the injury/pain. Alan spent the time to clearly map out my recovery plan. Over the following number of appointments we started to build up strength and recovery of said injury. When out of clinic Alan made the effort to check in on recovery and if he could be of any assistance. I really appreciated the effort and professionalism put into the recovery along with the detailed recovery plans and videos. I would highly recommend Alan and the team at the recovery to others.

Fantastic experience: A friend in my running group recommended the Pain and Performance Clinic to me as I was struggling with an achilles injury. I had Shock Wave therapy but that was only the start. I saw Alan who listened and gave me physio programs to build up the strength in my achilles. I am back running with a wealth of knowledge to keep injury free. I would have no hesitation in recommending this clinic.

Fantastic experience: I made an appointment to see Jack a few weeks ago about sudden neck/shoulder pain. He understood what the problem was from the start and after the first session I already felt the pain easing and after the following few sessions where Jack gave me some exercises to do in my own time the pain was completely gone. He went above and beyond in helping me in each session. Hopefully I won’t have to go back soon but if I do I know I’ll get the best treatment.
