Máire Nic Amhlaoibh graduated with distinction with a Master’s in Physiotherapy in 2012 from Queen Margaret University (Edinburgh, Scotland) and received a Bachelor’s (Hons) in Athletic Therapy and Training from Dublin, Ireland in 2010.
Máire specializes in treating lower limb injuries, especially the hip joint and tendinopathies of the hip.
Whilst in university, Máire completed courses in trigger point release, kinesio® taping, massage, muscle energy technique, and myofascial release, and has since received specialized training in dry needling, diagnostic ultrasound, running injuries, running gait analysis, and shockwave therapy. She also worked with several semi-professional rugby clubs in Edinburgh, gaining experience in sports injuries and rehabilitation. After which, she returned to Ireland to work in a private practice specializing in sports injuries and rehabilitation across both amateur and professional sports.
She believes in applying Pilates principles to both clinical populations and elite athletes as part of their rehabilitation. This has given Máire excellent knowledge of functional movement patterns and extensive training in all areas of human movement and gait. Máire has also trained in pre- and postnatal exercise prescription, pelvic floor dysfunction, rectus diastasis rehab postpartum, and postpartum return-to-run programs.
But Máire’s real passion is running: it is her love, and she has been lucky enough to incorporate her knowledge of the sport into her patient treatment, especially for running and sports injuries.
