Jac’s extensive experience has given her the clinical skills to understand the biomechanics and root causes behind injury or pain, to ensure that the correct manual therapy techniques are used, appropriate exercises prescribed and ergonomic or lifestyle changes made. She uses the Pilates exercise method for injury rehabilitation and performance enhancement to compliment her manual therapy.

But it is not only Jac’s sound clinical knowledge and invaluable experience that makes her such a popular Physio here in Dubai; she is compassionate, approachable and understanding of those who are affected by injury – getting people back ‘doing what they love’ is central to her treatment approach.

Orla moved to Dubai on 2011 where she spent five years in a well-known Sports Medicine Facility.  Here, she worked alongside Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Sports Medicine Physicians and Strength and Conditioning Coaches.  She is an all-round physiotherapist and enjoys treating an array of patient populations, both sporting and non-sporting.  She has a particular interest in chronic pain, in particular lower back pain.  Through education and changing believes around chronic pain, her approach is simple yet highly effective.  She encourages her patients to take an active role in their rehabilitation and enjoys facilitating their goals, whatever they may be.

Her sporting passion lies in cycling injuries and prevention.  Having spent time in Italy and France training with world class physiotherapists in cycling, she is well positioned to effectively carry out bike-fits for both cycling injuries and performance enhancement through her in-depth knowledge of anatomy and cycling biomechanics.

Orla takes an ‘everything in moderation’ approach to life!  She enjoys a nice balance of work, socialising with friends and family and exercise.  She is a keen cyclist and currently races on the #thecyclehubarlaproteinrace team.

With a passion for sport, Jonny has also enjoyed treating football players at an amateur and professional level, working alongside a well-known professional academy football club. He is capable of rehabilitating players with sporting injuries, including adolescent conditions, and returning them back to play as soon as possible.

As a clinician, Jonny has a strong focus on combining manual therapy techniques with exercise specific rehabilitation and education to ensure a holistic, client-centred approach to treatment. Together with postural corrections and biomechanical adjustments, this aids in the complete rehabilitation process and prevents the reoccurrence of injury.

Always the professional, Jonny approaches his work with an enthusiastic manner and encouraging atmosphere, ensuring each and every client feels valued and empowered whilst in a supportive environment. It’s not all work and no play though……in his spare time Jonny likes to socialise, travel, keep active and attempt to play football!
