#25 - Mike Murphy - Rehab and Performance Initiative Dublin
In this episode, Peter was joined by a young physiotherapist who has experience far beyond his years. Mike Murphy is owner and founder of RAPID in Dublin, Ireland. The Rehab and Performance Initiative may be in its infancy but it has already treated many clients and received incredible reviews over the past few months.
Mike has a vast experience as a physiotherapist having qualified with an MSc in Sports Medicine from world renowned Trinity College Dublin. Mike has also trained in a clinic setting in the world leading facility at Sports Surgery Clinic in Santry, Dublin. Mike then took his travels to the United States where he worked in a chiropractor clinic and specialising his work with injured golfers while there.
Now - Mike has come back to Ireland and has set up a state of the art service. Mike treats all types of clients from the elite athlete to the normal everyday person. His system is so simple and really leaves you understanding your injury better, understanding how your body works and more importantly – a very simple plan that will rectify your problem.
Peter and Mike talk all things S&C and physio related but also dive into some career and business advice for those trying to get their small business off the ground. If you are an aspiring PT, Coach or physio there is lots of great nuggets of information for you to take from this one. Mike also takes us through his TPI Golf experience and how he can help you add so much sought after extra club speed for the next time you hit the golf course.
Finally, I could not recommend Mike as a physio enough. He really is top class and we have no doubt that his new company will be a country leading facility in the years to come. To get in touch for more information, please see Mike’s social media accounts below:
