Enhance your Recovery

I have been attending Fiona Kindlon’s physical therapy clinic throughout my football career. I’ve had hamstring problems and calf injuries etc. I have to say Fiona’s detail to injury is top class, her time scale to get you back on the playing field is brilliant. She always ensures you are ready and fit to play. To get a sports massage before matches is brilliant. That’s why I recommend and attend Fiona Kindlon’s practice.

Each week is different, but all the while building on strength, flexibility & ability. As I am in my mid-sixties it was important that I feel safe & also challenged - I found I could trust Fiona’s knowledge, experience & her ability to make tailored adjustments when necessary. So while you are pushed, your personal safety & needs are prioritised. It's easy to have confidence in her knowledge as she continuously up-skills & incorporates the latest developments across the Pilates spectrum. Fiona is professional, warm, & conducts the class in a very inclusive & fun manner.

I was having severe trouble with both my shoulders. I was considering getting an MRI scan organised to investigate further until Fiona suggested I try Dry Needling. From the expertise of the therapist and the application of the needles I have pain relief and great mobility. I am now getting dry needling into an ongoing hip problem. I highly recommend Dry Needling.

Fiona Kindlon made a remarkable impact in her time in 2005 in our Melbourne clinic. Her quality of care as a physical therapist was amazing. Her hands on skills were brilliant and her empathy and ability to relate to her patients was outstanding. Our only problem was not being able to keep this beautiful lady within our team as she had to return to Ireland.

I would like to endorse the credentials and capabilities of Fiona as a physical therapist. Fiona’s role with St Kilda involved the management of elite footballers, utilising her clinical skills to provide massage therapy and assist in the preparation of the footballer for competition and rehab of the injured footballer. Fiona was a valued member of the St Kilda FC medical team and always demonstrated a high level of professionalism and competence.

Fiona was the physical therapist with Monaghan Ladies from 2007 to 2013. She was absolutely fantastic and we were very lucky she was part of our set up. Fiona was always so professional and really worked so hard keeping us all right and in tip top shape. I also visited Fiona’s practice a lot with various injuries including back pain and ankle pain. Fiona work is so hands on and I always felt huge benefits after physical therapy treatments with her. She is always so welcoming and has such a broad knowledge. Fabulous Physical Therapist.

In my many dealings with Fiona over the years one of the things that I appreciate the most is how her knowledge, skills and positive attitude can have a profound impact on recovery. She is always willing to try her best to accommodate myself or anyone I send in her direction. I look forward to continuing working with her in the future.

I was experiencing overloading issues due to being involved with multiple teams. I remember Fiona looking beyond the injuries that I experienced & looked at ‘why’ they were occurring. I’d seen quite a few physiotherapists around that age but none of them were interested in the “why”. They’d just treat the injury in isolation & I’d be back to square one before long. Through Fiona’s help & advice I never missed a game that season. I always felt Fiona took into consideration the full picture when dealing with players and this set her apart from others.

Over the years I have found Fiona to be far and away the best sideline help throughout the many counties we played against. She is superb at dealing with all soft tissue injuries and knows when to forward clients for further investigations and treatment. Fiona is my first to referral for assessment and treatment of football injuries. I found that Fiona develops great rapport with her clients and is always reliable at short notice. We have become close friends and she is my “Rock” for many referrals and I can’t do without her on the sidelines.

Switching from the GAA playing fields to becoming an endurance athlete, I visit Fiona on a regular basis. Fiona understands exactly what we do and is able to differentiate requirements for a footballer v an endurance athlete. Let it be for a pre-event or post event sports massage or an injury prevention session. Fiona is always on hand to help out. I can certainly recommend Fionas work, her ability and knowledge is always carried out to the highest standard. We look forward to working with Fiona in the future.
