Originally from Ireland, Daragh’s interest in movement and exercise began with sports at a young age, namely Gaelic football, hurling and squash. Upon completing his undergrad, decided to pursue a career in nutrition instead of his dream of becoming a physio, due to his challenge with stuttering. After a few difficult years working in the food manufacturing industry in Ireland and not feeling fulfilled he left for Glasgow, Scotland in July 2019, to work on his speech and pursue Physiotherapy.
Daragh graduated from University College Dublin (UCD) with a BSc in Health and Performance Science in 2013 and completed his MSc in Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Reading in the UK in 2015. He then completed his MSc in Physiotherapy from Queen Margaret University (QMU) in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2021. Since graduating in 2021 he has gained experience in various clinical areas such as cardio-respiratory, elective/ trauma orthopaedics and neurological rehab, however the majority of his professional experience has been in the musculoskeletal and orthopaedic setting.
He implements a combination of exercise prescription, manual therapy, and therapeutic modalities to help you reach your goals. He believes strongly in a holistic approach to patient care, involving evidence based practice, education and interdisciplinary care tailored to your specific needs. Daragh treats all orthopaedic conditions, with a special interest in the knee, ankle and shoulder. Daragh is a life long learner, constantly staying up to date with the current evidence to ensure best practice and support for clients under his care.
Outside of the clinic, Daragh enjoys going to the gym, playing Gaelic football, going for hikes and weekend road trips exploring Nova Scotia.
Bonus fact about Daragh: Daragh has had a stutter his whole life, which sometimes made him not want to try things or put himself out there, especially anything where verbal communication was required. Wanting to challenge himself and make a bigger impact on others, left his career in the food the industry to work on his speech in Glasgow and got into Physio.
