ABOUT

Sam and Pete

DOONEY PHYSIO

Sam and Pete, are two brothers that together have a passion for helping people get out of pain and back performing at their best again. They can draw from their experience working in both the sporting arena and within numerous hospitals throughout the UK and Ireland, which gives them a wide breadth of knowledge and skills to overcome whatever problem they are presented with. They value the importance of listening to their patients’ needs and making the process of getting out of pain as easy and seamless as possible. This could mean helping someone learn to walk after having a knee replacement, guiding a footballer back to play after an ACL reconstruction, or “simply” getting someone with low back pain comfortable playing with their kids again. The goals may be look different but the skills needed to achieve those goals are the same!
