Hi, I’m Shane, Co-Founder of Empower Physio Sligo. I’m a Chartered Physiotherapist with 9 years of clinical experience, helping people recover from injury, overcome pain, and get back to doing the activities that matter most to them.
Since graduating with a BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy from Northumbria University in 2017 👨🏻⚕️, I’ve specialised in musculoskeletal physiotherapy since 2020, working across a wide range of senior specialist MSK services within the NHS, HSE, elite sports physiotherapy clinics, and musculoskeletal trauma services in the Emergency Department. These roles have given me extensive experience assessing and managing everything from acute injuries to long-standing musculoskeletal conditions.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a broad range of people—from those dealing with everyday aches and pains to athletes competing across GAA, rugby, and professional ice hockey, including working with the Belfast Giants during the 2023/24 season. Supporting individuals to return confidently to sport, work, and everyday life is something I find incredibly rewarding.
Alongside running Empower Physio Sligo, I’m currently completing a Master’s (MMedSc) in Sports and Exercise Medicine at University College Cork. Continuing my education allows me to further develop my clinical assessment and rehabilitation skills, ensuring my practice remains grounded in the latest evidence and helping people return to performing at their highest potential.
I believe the key to successful rehabilitation is understanding my clients individual needs and ensuring the treatment plan is tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and the demands of your work or sport, giving you the best opportunity to recover well, build resilience, and perform with confidence.
At Empower Physio Sligo, our goal is simple: to provide expert, evidence-based physiotherapy in a welcoming, supportive, and non-judgemental environment, helping you move with confidence and perform at your best.
I’m looking forward to meeting you in the clinic and helping you get back to doing what matters most to you. Booking info to follow soon 🔜
