Sports medicine
A sports physician looks at the whole season, not just the sore spot: what you train, how it builds, and what the next six weeks should look like so you get to the start line.
- Intake
- 30 min, €95
- Follow-up
- 30 min, €70
- Insurance
- Often not covered
What it helps with
- Shin, Achilles and knee pain from running
- Stress fractures and the return after one
- Muscle tears and when to load them again
- Heart and breathing checks before a first marathon
- Load plans for a season or a single race
Is this for me?
If you train three times a week or more and something is in the way, yes. For a sudden injury from a fall or a twist, come to sports medicine first: we scan on the spot at Harbour Street and send you on to physiotherapy in the same building if you need it.
What happens in a session
Your training
We read your last six weeks: what you did, how it felt, where it changed. Bring your watch data if you have it.
The check
An examination and, when it helps, an ultrasound scan in the room, so you know the same day what you’re dealing with.
The plan
A load plan week by week, with the signs that tell you to go on and the ones that tell you to stop.
What it costs
| Treatment | Intake | Follow-up | Six follow-ups | Insurance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sports medicine | €95 for 30 min | €70 for 30 min | €380 for 6 × 30 min | You pay, and claim |
Most policies don’t pay for this treatment. You get an itemised invoice to claim.

Questions about sports medicine
Does my insurer pay for sports medicine?
Most basic policies don’t; some supplementary sports policies do. We give you an itemised invoice to claim.
Do you do ultrasound scans?
Yes, in the room at Harbour Street, as part of the consultation. There is no extra charge.
I’m not an athlete. Can I still come?
If you move for a goal, you are one here. A first 5 km counts.
Can you check my heart before a marathon?
We do a sports medical check with an ECG at rest. A stress test we refer out.
How soon can I be seen after an injury?
Usually within two working days. Call us for the first opening.
