🏃‍♂️ MEET PAT NOLAN — OUR PHYSIO WHO PRACTICES WHAT HE PREACHES! 💪

He's been part of the Up N Adam team for a few months now, but we thought it was about time we gave Pat Nolan a proper introduction!

And what better time than after his outstanding performance at the 2026 Melbourne Marathon, clocking an impressive 2:58:24! 🔥

For those who don't run, breaking the magical 3-hour marathon barrier is no small feat. It takes months of consistent training, discipline, resilience and a pretty good understanding of how to keep your body performing under load.

And that's exactly what Pat brings to his physiotherapy.

Pat is a passionate runner and cyclist who genuinely lives and breathes the principles he applies in the clinic.

He understands what it's like to push your body, manage training loads, work through niggles and balance performance goals with the realities of everyday life.

But you certainly don't need to be an athlete to benefit from Pat's expertise.

Whether you're dealing with:
🏃 Running injuries and overuse problems
🚴 Cycling-related pain and injuries
💪 Sporting injuries and rehabilitation
🦴 Neck and back pain
🧠 Headaches

Pat brings a thoughtful, evidence-informed and practical approach to helping you understand your problem, build strength and confidence, and get back to doing what you love.

What we really value about Pat is that he doesn't just tell people what to do — he leads by example.

He knows that good rehabilitation takes patience, consistency and the right progression. And whether your goal is a sub-3-hour marathon, returning to weekend sport or simply getting through the day without back pain, that same commitment to helping you improve is there.

We're genuinely thrilled to have Pat as part of the Up N Adam Performance Training & Physiotherapy team.

And there's already been a slight reshuffle for our Bright 2027 training camp...

Apparently Pat has earned himself Darren's position at the front of the bunch. 🚴‍♂️💨

Darren, meanwhile, has generously offered to take it easy and enjoy the scenery from the back. 😂

Congratulations on a cracking marathon, Pat. We're lucky to have you on the team! 👏

🏃‍♂️⚽ Groin pain that keeps coming back? It might not be as simple as a “tight groin” or adductor strain.

Our newest physio, Pat Nolan, recently ran an excellent in-service for our team on the assessment and rehabilitation of groin pain in athletes.

One of the big takeaways? Not all groin pain is the same — and getting the diagnosis right matters.

In our latest blog, Pat breaks down the different causes of groin pain, why strength and load management matter, and how we progress athletes from pain back to running, sprinting, cutting, kicking and competing confidently.

If your groin settles with rest but fires up again every time you return to sport, this one is worth a read 👇

Read the full blog below — and if you need help getting on top of persistent groin pain, Pat is now taking appointments at Up N Adam.

NEW — CYCLING STRENGTH CLASS

We’ve created this program because we believe strength training should complement your riding, not compete with it.

Whether you’re training for 3 Peaks, Tour of Bright, racing, or simply want to feel stronger and more capable on your weekend rides, structured strength work can be a huge piece of the performance puzzle.

The focus is simple:

⚡ More power
⛰️ Stronger climbing
💪 Improved strength & stability
🚴 Greater resilience for long rides
📈 Training specific to YOU

We’ll start with individual VALD & physical testing, identify your strengths and areas for improvement, then build your strength training around your goals, experience and riding demands.

Lead by Exercise & Sport Science Graduate & Elite Cyclist Jonathan Farley.

1 x strength session per week | Small group | Maximum 6 riders | 8-week block

From racers to weekend warriors and everything in between.

Ride stronger. Climb faster. Perform better.

Starting the week of 3rd September — spots are limited.
👉 Book your spot today!
