I have been visiting Bob for an issue with my knee and having finished the sessions I feel great to have had his contact. Bob not only helped me to recover my knee fast but also helped me to have an overall healthy life style through his curated exercise routine. The best part during each sessions, I liked the most, was his approach to understand the progress and suggesting follow-up routines based on that, which would challenge my body to some extent as well recover my knee.I will definitely recommend Bob for recovery paths from any kind of injury as well as generic physio sessions.read more

Thanks to him, I was able to improve my condition so that I could play sport again. Bob is a good listener, and offers rehab plans that are easy to follow. He is very competent and a good coach. He is also someone who knows how to encourage and give confidence to heal faster.read more

I'm very impressed with the way the problem is analysed and how personalized the exercise program is. Bob spent time explaining to me the underlying cause of the arm & neck problem so I understand what needs to be corrected and can better manage similar issues in the future. Bob was extremely professional and trustworthy - from my first appointment, I knew I was in safe hands and would get a good recovery. A very welcoming, 'comfortable' atmosphere from all staff in there.read more

Highly recommend! I was looking for a physio for a pulled harmstring playing football and came across DSIC on Google search. Was a bit out of the way, so was not sure about it. Went as its 5 stars with so many reviews and for a great reason! Bob attentively listened and asked questions, checked the leg and was able to diagnose severity very quickly. He explained the injury to me and what and why we need to take the approach we took. Total of 4 visits to DSIC and Bob not only built a gradual plan of continuous training that I can now also keep up myself. He even gave me some nutrition and dietary advise. All in all had my first match back and hamstring is feeling great. No doubt about coming back (if needed). Keep doing what you are doing Bob, thank you.read more

I have been having an issue with my lower back over the last 5 years and I've been told that my l4 l5 disc bulge is the cause of the pain. I have done several treatments over the years, dry needling, spinal decompression adjustment, and 20 sessions of chiropractor adjustment and it did some short term relief and pain came back again after a while. Friend of mine who is a chef referred me to Bob in Dublin Sports Injury Clinic. I meet him and he did listen to me and examined my back and explained for me what is the issue that pain hasn't resolves yet. I felt right away he knows what is he talking about and we start my exercise routine right away. I didn't get any massage or treatment as such, it was all on teaching me movements and building up my strength. My lower back has been pain free over the last 8 weeks and my mobility improved. I'm sleeping much better, and I feel stronger. If you are having issue with your back, Bob can definitely help you and I highly recommending him. Thank you again for getting my back sorted.

Once a month for 2-3 months I would wake up with a neck and shoulder so stiff, the pain of it was paralysing. I thought something wrong with it. Bob stopped me from panicking and help me regain confidence in my muscles. He designed for me a daily mobility routine and guided me through a upper body gym routine that would help me develop my back muscles and help counter-balance the stress I was putting my shoulders under. The stiffness and pain hasn't come back. My posture has improved. Bob is charismatic and professional. I'm looking foward to further improvements.read more

I've been to several physiotherapists, but none of the treatments I had before compares to the sessions with Bob.I had an ACL surgery in 2018 after a motorcycle accident, did physiotherapy sessions, and rehab program with coaches, but used to feel recurring pain and some limitations. I wasn't able to do simple things like kneel, or go down the stairs using my right knee, used to feel stabs when walking and couldn't run or cycle. After the first month having the sessions with Bob, I was already able to do all the above, including running.Bob boosts my confidence, always supports, and motivates me. He is patient, professional, and works with passion. I was given a personalized plan to do the exercises at home twice a week, he also sent me the videos with the instructions, and is following me up, pushing me, while motivating me, and always ensuring that I'm performing the exercises correctly.I didn't only got my knee better, but I feel healthier, stronger, and very satisfied with my progress.I would highly recommend Bob and Educogym to anyone who is looking for a unique rehabilitation program.read more

I've joined the runners Strength and Conditioning program after a knee injury and I'm really happy with the results. My knee Injury is totally gone and I must say that my running speed and my overall technique has improved. After the gait analysis with Bob, he designed a training program for me and Initially I found it tough if I be honest. As an amator runner I've never tried any sort of strength work, but after 2 weeks I fell stronger and my usual 5k felt easier. Bob gave me a gym based plan to keep up the strength work and I'm really happy with my progress. I would highly recommend Bob and the strength training program for runners, its definitely an investment. Thanks Bob for all the help. Orlaread more

I went to see Bob for my chronic lower back pain that I’ve been fighting for the last 2 years so he could do his magic to unblock my back pain . He helped me with reducing the pain & as Bob said, there is no surprise in my pain. I am working seated all day in front of a computer. I needed to get my body back to action, to get stronger to avoid the pain to be back again. So I joined his program, for 5 weeks and that’s the best decision ever ! 30 minutes workout twice a week, good exercices and tips, and a protein diet.That changed my life. I lost weight, gain muscles and got my body stronger. No more back pain at sight ! And my body is asking even more actions. Thanks Bob, thanks Dublin Sports Injury Clinic.read more

Best experience ever! I consider myself very lucky for the opportunity to have met Bob and to be trained by him. Working as a dentist can be very overwhelming for the spine. Working in the same position for hours can create multiple long-term issues. Life saviour, extremely patient and focused on a personalised plan, he managed to help me get rid of the severe back and hip pain that I had. Furthermore, explaining and making me understand the importance of an improved and healthy lifestyle, not only a temporary quick "fix", he made me want to come even though now I am 100% pain free. I am so grateful and I could never thank him enough for all his hard work. I could not recommend him enough! Thank you!read more

I strongly recommend Bob as a physical therapist. I've been suffering of lower back pain for years and not feeling fully recovered or sort of unhappy with previous diagnoses, so I went to Bob consultation to try to identify the root cause of my lower back issues. Bob's approach was excellent and after the initial consultation he was able to create a rehab program (to be done at home without especialised equipment) and in a second follow up session he went through the program with me. After 4 weeks I was able to manage the exercises and as a result I gain strength, therefore no lower back discomfort since then. I keep doing the exercises as they are great for stretching my back and shoulders. Thank you Bobread more

I was suffering from chronic back pain (lower back) and ankle sprain when I went to Bob about 5 weeks back. I had taken many appointments with GP who refereed me for an MRI and physiotherapy. MRI scan showed nothing critical but the pain and discomfort was continuously there for the past 8 months. Bob very patiently explained to me that it is nothing but weakness of muscles and that slowly I need to regain strength by doing various exercises and challenging myself to do more. He referred to this as more of a Mental Block than physical pain. I have been going to him for the past 5 weeks for strength and conditioning (2 days per week). He is a great trainer/coach. He build my confidence from inside. I won’t say that I am perfectly cured because it takes time to completely heal the chronic ones (Bob told that to me on the very first day) but one thing is for sure – I am much more confident in my day today life now. I was using Belt to support my back all day long, now I don’t. I can go to pubs and sit on uncomfortable chairs without worrying about much discomfort because he made me realise that everything can be cured slowly, and I know my pain is not equal to damage. All I need is to stay active and get stronger. Highly recommend Bob for anyone who is experiencing back pain.read more

Through one of the lockdowns I suffered with severe back pain, collapsed and hospitalized even though I had never suffered with back pain previously. Working from home was taking a toll on my body. With my main focus being on prevention of this happening again, I booked a session with Bob, initially working lower back and hip, on the next session Bob was keen to source the root of the problem- neck and shoulder tension. His professionalism and genuine attention to solve the problem certainly produced results. No pain, freeing, improved posture and alignment resulted in no back pain the past 2 months.

My husband referred me to Bob after he had an excellent treatment/experience at the clinic. I went in with a backache, but after the treatment I felt a whole lot better. He also showed me some exercises I could practise at home in order to strengthen my back muscles and they were very helpul. Now, I am pain free and I now have a good knowledge of how to take good care of my back.DEC 2020Bob aka “Bob the fixer” helped with my Diastasis recti (a partial separation of my “six pack” muscles) which I acquired during pregnancy. First, he gave me a planned and more structured diet to follow. Then gym exercises which he supervised and instructed me on how to do them properly. The exercises were quite vigorous, but it was worth it in the end as I was able to strengthen my abs and general physique.At a regular interval, he carried out checks on my body physique to measure improvements so far. I have become a fabulous fitfam and my strength level is now amazing. I am happy with my results and highly recommend Bob the fixer.read more

I was diagnosed with a partial tear in my left shoulder in January and had 2 injections for it. Although I got some relief for a few weeks the pain came back and I was to start physiotherapy but then we went into lockdown.I came across Bob on Facebook and he very kindly contacted me and offered to help me without even seeing me.He gave me a set of exercises to do which I did daily. I was finally able to visit him in person last week and he worked on my shoulder and gave me some more exercises to do.He went out of his way to help me for which I am very grateful.I would recommend him highly to anyone struggling with pain.Thank you Bob for all your help.read more

I received excellent service by Bob. He is very professional and will do all possible to help you in the best way possible. He helped me with my shoulder issue and also with my muscle tension by performing deep tissue massage and I felt much better after only one session. It is nice to see that Bob is determined to help clients for the long term and find the true origin of discomfort and pain and not just release the pain locally. I will definitely be back.read more

Hello, my name is Paulo Miguel, 34 years old, I work as a Chef and I had a left knee ligament injury after a long and busy day at work. I want to thank the Dublin Sports Injury Clinic, especially my physiotherapist Bob Firo, who helped me walk again and avoid surgery that in public services has a waiting list of about 6 months and in private services it costs about 5,000 euros. I'll tell you what happened to me: In March 2020, I had a rupture of ligaments in my left knee that made it impossible for me to work and do basic things like walking and climbing stairs. That same month, I took several medications that were prescribed for me in the hospital to withstand the pain, and after a few days, I chose to do an MRI scan on my left knee, in order to understand the severity of the injury. I made an appointment at a private clinic to read the exam, which suggested that I have surgery for approximately 5,000 euros, which made me very scared, since the waiting list for orthopedics consultation in public health services was around 5 months. I contacted some physiotherapists who consulted me online and for about two months I injured my knee again trying to do physiotherapy at home alone based on the exercises I was told to do. I did some research on the internet and found Dublin Sports Injury Clinic, in which I asked for a second opinion, I was advised by physiotherapist Bob Firo to make a daily physiotherapy plan for a few months, in order to try to avoid surgery. I started this plan at the beginning of June without being able to walk or climb stairs, today, July 22, 2020, I can say that I can climb stairs normally, I can walk normally and I believe that soon I will be able to resume my daily work. . I want to thank the physiotherapist Bob Firo and the Dublin Sports Injury clinic again for all the help they gave me, for having avoided surgery at an absurd cost and especially for all the effort and dedication. Thank you.read more

I went to Bob two months ago after sustaining a shoulder injury while travelling during the summer. I had 'rested' it for a while thinking I was doing the right thing. My shoulder range of movement substantially decreased leading to an inability to do basic gym work. However after three sessions with Bob I am on the right track. Bob promotes movement at a steady pace giving me thorough exercises to carry out 4 times a week and follows up making sure all is going well. He is fantastic at explaining the theory around what he promotes. I could not recommend him enough - 5 stars all round!read more

I had tendonitis in my arm and what felt like a trapped nerve in the neck. Both injuries were very debilitating. I didn’t want to stop all activity but was anxious not do any further damage. After my first visit with Bob I was convinced that he would be able to help. The neck was sorted out within a few sessions and the arm took about 4 months but I was able to continue with work and play while feeling confident that it was only a matter of time. After a therapy session, Bob would follow up with alternative exercises and stretches having further researched a particular aspect of the injury that we might have discussed. Bobs professionalism, knowledge and skill in fixing the injuries and addressing the underlying problems to prevent them reoccurring was extremely impressive. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Bob for any and all physical injuries. Thanks a mil Bob!!!!read more

I cannot recommend Bob highly enough - he is brilliant . I first went to Bob for a very painful problem with my Achilles tendon - and the exercises he prescribed and the work he did on it resulted in my being able to walk pain free. I then went back again and signed up for a series of sessions and this has really paid off. Thanks to the regime I started with Bob I have lost a stone and a half and have kept it off even during lockdown and can enjoy walking again. He is a true professional who has the Client's interest at heart and will go the extra mile to help in any way he can. If you have any injury issues Bob is your man.read more

Hi, I attended DSIC in July of 2019 with an hip injury I had for over a year with was getting worse and was preventing me from certain exercising and running.I was recommended by a friend who had a knee problem previously and had attended DSIC to visit Bob so I booked an appointment.In the first hour session Bob went through how and when I first got the injury and the path forward to solving the problem.He gave me a clear set of exercises to follow and said the injury would be cleared up in 12 weeks if I focused and stuck to the plan.I had never done proper leg exercises before so was a bit rusty at the start and did feel slight pain after each routine but this got less and less over time as I became stronger.By the end of October the injury had cleared up and I continue to this day doing the leg routines which I now enjoy and continue to reap the benefits.On Bob himself I found him the most professional,genuine and enthusiastic therapist I've come across. He really wants to see you get better and takes professional pride in seeing his work pay off.I couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thanks again Bob.Martin Carter.read more

I met with Bob, who took his time to assess my injury and level of pain. He gave me some home exercises tailored to my needs and also set up 2 weekly training sessions with him so that I could work on my muscles. After just a few sessions I saw improvement and was slowly able to get back to my normal routine, and even able to spin once a week. Bob did an amazing job with me, I would highly recommend him.read more

I contacted Bob the same day as the strain happened and his help has been out of this world rather than rest up like most people would think Bob gave me stretches to do to help it heal quicker and stronger bob also went out of his way to help me he would contact me every day checking on the injury giving me new stretches and then when I was fit enough he changed it from stretches to strength exercises which really help me feel full recovered I can’t thank Bob enough and he is the only person to go to for advice and treatment your the best Bobread more

I am a runner & and I was suffering from both left Achilles tendon & left hamstring pain so I made an appointment to see Physical Therapist, Bob Firo at Dublin Sports Injury Clinic. Bob put me on strength & conditioning program and my injuries cleared up within weeks. This was achieved by combining strength training with cutting back on running. Bob gives great advice on injury prevention with emphasis on strength training combined with good nutrition. I continue to do the strength & conditioning & combining regular massage treatment so I can continue with my running passion. I have gained confidence in myself because of the strength training which makes me feel and look stronger.
