New block of Matwork & Reformer classes start tomorrow ☺️

If your body’s been feeling a bit stiff, tight or just not moving the way it should lately, this is a really good place to start!

Our physio-led Pilates classes are all about helping you:
• move more freely
• build strength where you actually need it
• ease those ongoing aches & pains
• feel more comfortable in your body day to day

It’s not generic Pilates - you’re guided by physios who can adjust things to suit you, especially if you’re dealing with an injury or something that keeps flaring up.

Whether you’re:
Coming back from injury
Managing a ni**le that won’t go away
Or just wanting to feel a bit stronger and less stiff

you’ll get a lot out of these classes 🙌

We have a handful of spaces left in this block and we’ve drop-in options if a full block doesn’t suit right now

If it’s not there - we don’t progress our patients.

Structured rehab. Clear progressions.
Return to sport done properly. 📈

We know evening classes don’t suit everyone…

They can be busy times — you’re rushing in from work, already tired, and just trying to fit it in ⏳

Our Monday & Friday 10:30am matwork sessions in Cookstown are a great alternative 🤝

A better time to move, focus, and actually get the benefit from it.

Helping you move more freely, reduce aches and pains — and build the strength to stay active without things flaring up 💪

If your back stiffens after sitting, or you’re trying to stay consistent week to week — this tends to work really well.

We’ve also added a new 9:30am matwork class in our Maghera clinic due to popular demand ✨
(This class starts 20th April — all other classes start week beginning 13th April)

Not every hamstring or soft tissue injury needs a scan.

And if you’re a young physio — this matters.

It’s easy to lean on imaging. It feels objective. It feels definitive.
But it doesn’t replace what should come first:

– A detailed subjective history
– A thorough objective assessment
– Clear clinical reasoning

Because most of what you need to know is already there — if you know how to look for it.

Scans don’t make decisions.
Physios do.

Imaging has a role — but it should support your diagnosis, not drive it.
It helps confirm what you’re already thinking. It can help guide prognosis. It can add clarity where needed.

But without strong clinical skills behind it, it’s just information without direction.

We see it all the time — over-reliance on scans, under-confidence in assessment.

Build your fundamentals.
Back your reasoning.
Use imaging when it adds value, not as a default.

That’s what builds real clinical judgement 🤝

Uni gives you the foundations — but there’s a lot it doesnt prep you for 🦴

On Saturday we hosted our Making Sense of MSK workshop & spent the day with a great group of new grad and junior physios digging into MSK assessment, making sense of findings and having an honest chat about the realities of private practice. Loved every minute of it!

Rehab shouldn’t be guesswork.

It should be structured. Measured. And built around what your sport actually demands.

For years now, we’ve been running on-pitch and clinic-based rehab with GAA athletes — refining how we take someone from early stage → back to full performance.

These workshops are an extension of that.

Not generic classes.
Not random exercises.

But targeted sessions built around the key qualities we know matter in field sport athletes:

– Trunk control & the spinal engine
– Lateral hip strength for cutting & change of direction
– Posterior knee capacity
– Foot & ankle control for force absorption
– Running mechanics & return-to-play progressions

Everything is coached by experienced clinicians, with clear progressions and standards at each stage — so you’re not just “doing rehab”… you’re actually moving forward.

If you’re a GAA player, you’ll recognise how specific this is to what you do on the pitch.

Tomorrow night’s workshop is focused on running mechanics — ideal if you’re building back after injury or not quite trusting your stride yet.

We’ve had a couple of spaces open up.

If you want more info, send us a message or contact the clinic 🤝

Most physios don’t struggle because they don’t care.

They struggle because they’re not being challenged enough.

Early in your career, you need more than just time on the job.
You need someone to watch your assessments.

To question your reasoning.
To look at your notes.
To ask why — not just what.

It’s not always comfortable.
But it’s where the real growth happens.

At Elite Physio, this is a normal part of how we work.

We don’t leave development to chance.
We coach.
We reflect.
We challenge.
We expect more — because we know what our team are capable of.

If you’re a student, new grad, or a physio who feels stuck…
maybe it’s not you — maybe it’s your environment.

—

We’re running our MSK Workshop Day this Saturday — designed exactly for this stage of your journey.

And we’re currently recruiting for a physiotherapist to join our team (applications close next Friday).

If you’re ready to be pushed, supported, and developed — this is your kind of place.

We’re hiring.

At Elite Physiotherapy, we’re not just looking for another physio to fill a diary.

We’re looking for someone who wants to be part of a team that cares deeply about doing things properly.

Our clinic is built around clinical reasoning, high-quality rehab, and a team culture that values learning and accountability.

We work with a wide range of patients — from everyday aches and pains to athletes returning from serious injury and surgery. Our approach is structured and progressive, combining hands-on assessment, exercise-based rehab, and objective testing to guide decision-making.

Inside the clinic you’ll be part of a team that:

• values clinical thinking over quick fixes
• believes rehab should be structured, progressive and measurable
• supports learning, reflection and continuous improvement
• works closely together to solve problems and improve outcomes

We’re looking for an A-team player.

Someone who brings:

✔ High standards
✔ Strong work ethic
✔ Curiosity and willingness to learn
✔ Openness to feedback and reflection
✔ A team-first mindset

You’ll be surrounded by clinicians who care about improving their craft — through weekly CPD, case discussions, mentoring, and shared clinical thinking.

If you want to work somewhere that pushes you to become a better clinician while being supported by a strong team, we’d love to hear from you.

To apply:
Complete the application form via the Google Form linked in our bio.

🗓 Applications close Friday 27th March at 5pm

Our physio diaries across Cookstown & Maghera are nearly full, with just a handful of appointments remaining this week.

If something has been lingering — a shoulder that won’t settle, a knee stopping you training, or a ni**le that keeps flaring up — getting a proper assessment and clear plan in place makes all the difference. 💬

We also run two small-group rehab classes:
• Trunk & pelvic stability / spinal engine focus 🧠⚙️
• Mid–late stage plyometric rehab 🦵⚡️

If you’d like to know more about these, send us a DM. 📩

Alongside clinic, our Pilates studios are also running close to capacity. 🧘‍♀️

A few Matwork drop-in spaces remain in Cookstown:
• Monday – 10:30am
• Wednesday – 7:00pm
• Friday – 10:30am

All other classes are fully booked with a waitlist in operation. ⏳

All physio appointments and Pilates bookings can be made via the link in our bio. 🔗

The number one mistake we see when treating groin pain?

Assuming it’s just an adductor problem.

In younger, skeletally immature athletes — that assumption can cost months.

Not all groin pain is soft tissue.

In this population, we regularly see bone stress involvement.

And that changes everything.

Because bone doesn’t behave like tendon.

It has:
⏳ Different healing timelines
📉 Different load tolerance
⚖️ Different progression rules

If you treat bone stress like a strained adductor — hammering squeezes and Copenhagens — you keep the athlete in a flare cycle.

The groin is often the victim.

The real driver?
Training load.
Pelvic control.
Trunk stiffness.
Hip mobility.
Global capacity.

If you don’t identify the tissue properly, you won’t load it properly.

And when load doesn’t match tissue — symptoms linger.

We’re running Making Sense of MSK again this March.

A one-day practical workshop designed for new and recently qualified physios who want to feel more confident managing MSK and sports injuries in clinic.

This is a hands-on day focused on:

• Structuring your MSK assessment
• Developing stronger clinical reasoning
• Linking subjective & objective findings
• Knowing what the next step in treatment should be

The aim is simple — helping you move from knowing the theory to thinking like a clinician.

📍 Elite Physiotherapy, Maghera
📅 Saturday 21st March 2026

Places are already filling quickly, and numbers are limited to keep the day practical.
