We’re delighted to say a new Run Club is starting in Nenagh, and Gold Standard will be its Official Sponsor.

For us, it’s a privilege to help fund this inclusive, free-of-charge community initiative — a place where local people can meet up, get moving, and enjoy the clear, lasting benefits running brings to body and mind. ❤️🧠

Founded by running enthusiasts Neimh McGlynn, Lisa Kelly and friends, this volunteer-led club provides a friendly, relaxed space for people of all ages and abilities to get moving and connect.

As Chartered Physios, we see the benefits of running in both research and practice.

Regular, appropriately-dosed running is strongly associated with:

✅ Stronger heart and lungs; improved aerobic fitness

✅ Better mood; reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression

✅ Stronger bones and improved metabolic health

✅ Better sleep and sharper thinking

✅ Easier weight management and greater day-to-day resilience

With sensible progression and informed coaching, running is a truly powerful, accessible way to support your long-term health and everyday wellbeing! 🌟

🏫🛠️ 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮

If you possibly missed 𝗖𝗶𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗚𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗻 around the clinic recently, there was an extremely good reason — Ciara and her father Ger were away in November volunteering with 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲, helping to build schools in Cape Town, South Africa.

Founded in 2002, Mellon Educate is an international education charity that has transformed the lives of thousands of children and families in South African townships by building schools, launching literacy programmes and creating local jobs.

Each year, the charity’s renowned 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘇 brings volunteers from Ireland and beyond to deliver safe, modern school infrastructure in underserved communities.

To date the charity has built / renovated 𝟯𝟲 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀, improving education for over 𝟲𝟱,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻.

In advance of their departure, Ciara and Ger raised 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 €𝟭𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 to fund building materials — a tremendous achievement which has already improved children’s access to education.

Their hands on work on-site and the commitment they showed throughout the trip reflect the same dedication and care Ciara brings to her role at Gold Standard Physio.

It was a privilege to help Ciara out in some small way, and we’re so glad to have her on our team.

If you’d possibly like to support Mellon Educate, you can do so by donating here: https://donate.melloneducate.com/product/donation-individual/

Thank you so much.

📺 𝐑𝐓𝐄 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞

We were delighted to welcome the RTE cameras to our clinic recently as they filmed footage for the excellent behind-the-scenes documentary, “𝘾𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙚 — 𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥”.

We were especially proud to see our physiotherapist 𝗖𝗶𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗚𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗻 featured throughout the two-part series, with her commitment to providing expert care for the Tipperary Senior Squad very evident.

It was great to see the filmmakers capture so clearly the dedication, discipline and relentless work Tipp’s camogie players put in day after day — they really are exceptional role models for the next generation.

We’d like to extend our best wishes to outgoing manager Denis Kelly, recognising his tremendous commitment to the team over the past three years.

We also wish new manager James Heffernan and his back-room staff — which will once again include Ciara — every success as they prepare for what will hopefully be a landmark 2026.

C’mon Tipp!
