North Dublin Physical Therapy 

Joanna Smith has been practising as a qualified physical therapist for 4 years. Joanna qualified from the Institute of Physical Therapy in 2003 with a Diploma in Physical Therapy. Joanna also holds a certificate in Massage Therapy and is a fully qualified Sports Therapist.

“I am a physical therapist who has been working with many members of Piranha triathlon club consistently over the last 5 years. I have seen a range of injuries related to all areas of the sport and give maintenance to those who know that when in times of intense training, prevention is definitely better then cure! The treatment I give is very hands on and excellent as a tool to find problems before they become an issue.

Currently there is a 10% discount given to all members of Piranha Triathlon Club, but on top of that I am going to offer all those doing the Roth Ironman race a further offer. If you revive 5 treatments with me you will get a 6th free! This is to encourage all of those who are undertaking this admirable task to get some hands on work done during your training.

All contact details are on my website, good luck!”

Sports Performance Clinic

The Sports Performance Clinic offers a full range of sports physiotherapy, sports injury rehabilitation and injury screening services.

CycleFit Ireland

CycleFit Ireland (aka Ian Cassidy or Casso), uses Retul to fit you to your bike. Retul is a 3D dynamic motion capture system, using LED’s placed on the body to capture the rider’s movements while in motion and under load on the bike.

Dynamic fitting is the most comprehensive
Using motion capture technology, Retül records a rider’s position while he or she is in motion, therefore creating the most realistic picture of the rider’s actual pedal strokes and body positions when out on the road.

Biomechanics are best assessed in 3D space. 
Fit data collected in a traditional two-dimensional plane (such as video) is fairly limited because the fitter can only look at one view at a time. In order to see how all of the applicable movements of the body are working together, the front and side planes of a rider should be viewed as interdependent reference points. Retül’s motion sensors simultaneously gather data on multiple angles of the rider in three dimensions.
