Have you ever gone to a professional Therapist to try and get pain or an injury sorted; only to leave underwhelmed and a bit disappointed? I know the feeling… for years I went to all sorts of Therapists for different types of pain and injuries, but I rarely left fully satisfied and my pain always seemed to come back.
All too often I was in and out way too quickly; was given a bit of a rub or dry needling on the sore area and a couple of exercises to do at home. There was never an effective assessment or explanation given to me, let alone a proper plan to make sure the pain doesn’t return. Unfortunately, with most Therapists, this is the approach that is taken and this is why too many people actually give up and decide to live with their pain or not go back playing their sports or doing the activities they love.
Hi, my name is Kevin Burke, owner of GBI Clinic, and I’ve been through the mill with the traditional approach for years trying the to clear up my own injuries. Unfortunately, this approach is still all too prevalent in the industry today. I hear it consistently with clients coming through my doors, after being around the houses and been given the same generic treatments and being told “come back in a few weeks if it’s still sore”.
This is why we’re different at Global Bodywork and Injury Clinic. We don’t just treat symptoms but we also address the underlying causes as to why you’re in pain in the first place. We do this by thoroughly assessing how you’re moving, range of motion around joints, muscular co-ordination, posture, gait analysis, breathing patterns and other lifestyle factors to give us a picture of what stresses or threats your nervous system is dealing with currently, explaining this to you clearly and then working with you to put an effective, bespoke plan in place to address these contributing factors and get you to whatever your goal may be.
We are dedicated and driven to learning from the best around and bringing world-class pain relief and rehab to the people of Cork and beyond. Some of the people I have learned or mentored under are Dave O’Sullivan at ProSport Academy, Integrated Kinetic Neurology, David Grey Rehab, Leon Cassin Physio, Gary Ward, John Sharkey and many more… all with the aim of providing high level assessments and interventions to get you out of pain and back doing the things you love.
Global Bodywork & Injury Clinic’s mission is to help you feel, move and perform better, no matter what your personal goal may be. We are dedicated to helping you get back to your best and living the life you deserve.
