I recently had a set of five sessions with Steven Gilmore at the APC Physio & Sports Clinic in the Clayton Hotel, Lapps Quay, Cork. I found the whole experience very beneficial. Steven has a very calm patient personality and is somebody you can build an immediate rapport with. There is an initial chat to discuss the client's problem and an examination to diagnose the root cause. In my case a series of basic exercises were prescribed which, coupled with massage and on-going assessment, built up over the next weeks. This was all done in a very professional and methodical way as an understanding of the problem and the treatment required was obtained. In all a very satisfying experience and an immense improvement in my condition. John O'Donovan

APC physio's dedication to root causing issues and tailored recovery plans are second to none. I have mainly dealt with Pa but have had a few sessions with Stephen also, their commitment to improving the quality of people's lives is inspiring. I have had minor knocks up to ACL reconstruction and the care/detailed recovery plans derived and implemented have been next level. The knowledge and techniques used I haven't experienced anywhere else and highly recommend anyone looking for a world class service try them out....you won't be sorry.

I recently had sessions with Patrick here at APC. He was very thorough and certainly knows his stuff. I had constant, but mild, back pain and wanted to address it before it became a problem. Through a range of exercises and dry needling, I’ve been able to sort it. Patrick listens to how you’re progressing between each visit and tweaks the types of treatment as needed. He also offers great tips and advice for posture and breath work to incorporate into workout routines.

Due to some upper back pain which radiated to my right arm, I contacted APC Physio on Lapps Quay and was quickly referred to Patrick Hanley. The sessions were great! Patrick made it so easy for me to explain what was going on and where I felt the pain/discomfort, then after a few exercises he pointed out what I needed to work on to improve it. He was brilliant at explaining the at-home exercises and also included progressions to use later on. Happily discharged now and definitely recommend them!

I am very glad I went to get help from Patrick for my lower back problems and would highly recommend him. I have had these muscle spasm issues on and off for years and had limited success in alleviating them with chiropractors and message. Patrick gave me some exercises to do and insights into posture and walking dynamics that succeeded in completely alleviating my pain and giving me the tools to avoid them coming back again or managing them when they do. Realising that I was not engaging my legs enough and putting too much pressure on my lower back was a complete game changer for me. Many thanks Patrick. Much appreciated.

I came to Patrick in preparation for the Irish dancing world championships in April looking to improve my flexibility and with 5 weeks to go I feel amazing 💪🏼💪🏼 After 5 sessions with Patrick I can already see a huge difference. Fantastic service all round!! Looking forward to the next 5 weeks!

Really happy with my first visit to APC. I booked a sports massage with Craig to free up my legs as I begin to increase running mileage. Craig was really pleasant and professional. Assessed where the worst feelings of tightness were and again at the end of the appointment to check if all felt ok. Would really recommend APC

I am really happy with the service I received from Patrick at APC. His expertise and advice are second to none. It is so simple to book/rearrange an appointment. I'd definitely recommend him.

I'm very happy with my experience with APC Physio. Craig helped me to get rid of an ugly injury in my shoulder that prevented me from swimming and having a normal life. Craig is very patient and takes good care of his patients. It took a few sessions to get fully recovered and I could feel the improvement visit after visit. He gave me some exercises to do at home after my visits and he really spot on. I would definitely recommend this clinic to my friends and family. Thanks Craig, see you soon!

I've had two sessions with Steven Gilmore and am already seeing progress with some longstanding issues. He's very professional, thorough in his examination, and knowledgeable about what kind of solution might help resolve or alleviate the issues I am experiencing. He's also willing to work with my gym coaches to ensure that my program complements the exercises and treatments that I receive at APC. Definitely recommend this clinic!

I was diagnosed with a bulged disc at L5/S1 position and was experiencing extremely severe sciatica pain, unable to walk, stand or do any normal activities. I was referred to APC physio by my insurance and I am very thankful that I was referred to APC physio. Patrick was absolutely phenomenal in helping alleviate my pain. He analyzed the situation and proactively provided me appropriate guidance to manage the pain and getting back to normal. I can clearly say that he has a ton of experience in this and everything he suggested worked really well. In every physio session, he would work through the muscles in my back and the leg to relieve the pain, analyze what works best and would suggest the stretches based on that. I found this strategy extremely helpful. He always puts in that extra effort either to help me in contacting the consultant or to explain my situation clearly and by showing pictures/ videos to give me the right perspective of the problem and the solutions. I am now able to walk, run, perform everyday activities without any pain and I feel I am definitely back to normal. My progress within a span of few weeks is truly unbelievable! I would highly recommend APC physio to my loved ones and friends without a doubt! I am very thankful to Patrick for his excellent services and I wish him and the APC Physio team all the very best!

APC was recommended to me due to a calf injury sustained by soccer. I met Steven and he did a thorough assessment, identified the issue, explained it clearly and gave a manageable plan to follow and I was back playing soccer in no time

APC Physio & Sports clinic provides a top quality service. I have been going to them for a good couple of years and they have always gotten me back to 100% fitness especially after sports related injuries that required surgery and extensive rehab. Every injury is analysed thoroughly and to the highest degree of professionalism in a very positive environment. Highly recommend Pat and all his team.

Highly recommend APC Physio. I saw Steven Gilmore for a consultation regarding a potential meniscal repair surgery and he made an excellent rehab plan that allowed me to avoid the surgery altogether. Normally dislike seeing physios but he was a delight and I could always get an appointment whenever other injuries came up.

After 5 years of back pain after pregnancy and taking pain relief medicines i really do wish i had gone to APC sooner. Luckily enough on one of my visits my back pain had flared up and was pretty painful during my second pregnancy and within a few minutes with a few simple movements Patrick had taken that pain away. I really was blown away. I went from wanting to cry to laughing. I couldn’t understand how easy it was to stop the pain. I understand where my pain is coming from now and i have learned more ways to manage that pain. I would highly recommend if you have been struggling with pain regularly just bite the bullet and go try physio because it really does work. On my very first visit i felt validated after years of going to doctors and being left feeling like it wasn’t taken seriously enough, Patrick had reassured me and understood the problem instantly. Such a relief.

Patrick was very thorough in treating my knee injury and worked with me over several weeks with a rehab programme consisting of gym work and physio. Patrick's knowledge and experience is very apparent & with his help I have made a full recovery. I would highly recommend Patrick and his team!

After visits to two other practitioners and given various exercises, I was still no better. I had terrible hip pain, shoulder pain, back pain and I wasn't sleeping. I went to Patrick at APC physio. Patrick listened and took into consideration both physical and emotional issues. I had lost both of my parents a few months previous and had been caring for them prior to that. Patrick felt I was still running on adrenaline, waiting for the worst to happen, it had become a pattern. Patrick showed me how to belly breathe and by checking in with myself at regular intervals during the day and belly breathing. It was like zanax without the zanax, calm, it will all work out. He gave me two very simple exercises to do at home plus the belly breathing. I had to text him the following day to tell him I had had the most restful nights sleep in 4 months. In my opinion he's magic.

Dear Stephen Thanks so much for helping me in your Cork City clinic. I had what I thought was a major shoulder injury ....and apart from you discovering AND mending an old one along the way..AND giving me valuable advice on ANOTHER injury my knee I cannot recommend you enough..I have done to everyone I know. You gave me confidence and reassurance that was more valuable than your wonderful physio. Your professional advice was much valued. First class👌

I highly recommend APC Physio from my own experience over the last 6 months. I initially went to Patrick with a tear in my quadricep tendon towards the end of the season with a few games to go. Once the season had ended, I started on a 5-phase recovery program. This is known to be a difficult injury to treat and get right again, and I went from initially having very little mobility and strength (And a lot of pain) to being able to get back full at 100% on the pitch just 4 months on from the initial injury. The experience combined with thorough knowledge and expertise that Patrick has is invaluable in my opinion. Going through each phase of the programme he provided insight and clarity in everything we did throughout the process. The clear demonstration and understanding of each exercise, session, phase, etc was very reassuring all throughout. Discussing the injury and why we are doing the specific exercises really helps a lot and is crucial to help the process. I can definitely say that I am in a much stronger position now than I was even before the injury thanks to Patrick and APC. I cannot recommend them enough for anyone looking to improve physically whether it’s strength, speed, agility, flexibility or if remedying a current or existing injury. I just want to thank Patrick again; I am very grateful for everything.

Great Physio, highly recommended. Went in barely able to stand, was able to walk out comfortably. Was back to full training in a matter of weeks. Loads of useful exercises and extensive knowledge of the body and muscle movements

I recently attended the APC Clinic in Fermoy to address a knee injury. I was assigned to Luke Gibbins CAT who assessed my injury and prescribed an exercise programme for me to carry out at home. On follow up visits Luke was very helpful and listened to my feedback in regard to exercises that suited my level of ability and adapted them when needed. Overall a very professional service and glad to say my injury has now resolved. Thanks to Luke and the Team in APC

I had some sort of muscular pain on left side upper chest area. Patrick listened carefully and listed out all the issues and created a plan to tackle each. Within 4 weeks of treatment including acupuncture, 95% of the pain was gone. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a Physio, please contact Patrick in APC Physio .

I have gone to APC for a number of different sports related injuries over the past 2 years and have had a very positive experience each time. I've dealt with Patrick, Stephen and Luke for separate injuries and all of them were great to deal with, very knowledgeable and really helpful with the recovery and rehab process.

Attended Stephen for shoulder pain that was stopping me progressing in the gym and in CrossFit - he focused on fitting the exercises he gave me into my routine, and always had the long term goal of me finishing up in mind! Would happily recommend him, top class✨

Stephen was the guy to interview me and ask very pertinent questions regarding my pain. I was extremely satisfied with my 1st experience at APC PHYSIO. A fair and intelligent diagnosis. Thank you.

Very professional and amazing organization. I started the physiotherapy due to a bimalleolar ankle fracture. Not only they helped me to recover physically with a proper plan built on my needs, but also psychologically by listening all the doubts and fears that I had after such a bad injury. I fully recommend!!

Patrick is a passionate professional that loves what he does and he looks forward new challenges. I am extremely happy with his services. I am a semi professional basketball player who did an offseason physical plan with him. He completed an assessment from the physiotherapy point of view and traced a working out plan for the summer. His team of trainers backed him up on everything and I can't be more happy on the result. Thanks for everything.

Wow! Where to start, when I first started seeing Patrick I was 9 months after breaking my back and still in excruciating pain. I had several sessions and now 6 weeks later I am completely pain free. The sessions and exercises combined with the needling Patrick carried out has really made a difference to my day to day life. I would absolutely recommend him to everyone and anyone who asked (or didn't)!

Professional and comprehensive service. Gave me hope when I hadn't any. Stephen is a pleasure to deal with. What I liked the most is that he took me down to the gym and went with me through most of my training regime and came up with modifications and solutions so that I not only can heal but also train. Not that I am wishing an injury on anybody, but if this happens to you, APC Physio comes highly recommended!
