Martina O'Brien

Hi, I’m Martina, a CORU registered physiotherapist and qualified Pilates instructor. I have 12 years experience working in private practice, previously working as part of a multi disciplinary team for 4 years. Throughout my career, I’ve helped people with a wide range of issues, gaining valuable experience and insights that shape the way I approach client’s needs.

In the past two years, I have focused my time equally between helping those navigate through their pain experience whilst also teaching Pilates classes. I believe that exercise is one of the most important factors in a healthy life and Pilates ticks all the boxes for that, promoting movement in a safe environment and instilling a calm throughout the body.

I have been involved in sports for a number of years both as a player and pitch-side physiotherapist. As a player, I had the privilege to be involved with Cork Ladies Football for a number years, from 2013 to 2022, where I was lucky enough to be playing alongside the best players in the sport and to be part of a very successful team.

I have worked with a number of GAA clubs, working as part of the backroom team to manage injuries. The most recent club I have worked with is my local club Ballinascarthy GAA. It is a privilege to help people, whether on the sidelines of a GAA match, or in a Pilates class, and to be part of their journey towards better health and wellbeing.

Testimonials

Expert guidance and support for creating a fulfilling life on your terms

Pilates class

“I feel like I have better energy and have better movement in general. The variety of exercises is great, and strangely enough I enjoy the stiffness the day after. I know the exercises have helped me, especially my core.”

Physiotherapy

“I went to Martina barely able to walk with lower back pain. After 2 sessions with her I’m flying! Thanks Martina.”

Pilates class

“I have noticed an improvement in my movement from day-to-day. Over the past few years I feel still stiff a lot of the time, but since starting Pilates I’ve found a big improvement.”

Pilates class

“I started Pilates because of back ache and I have found a real improvement in my overall strength and confidence in my back, and the rest of my body. Didn’t think I would like the breath work but I find it extremely relaxing.”

Pilates class

“I feel absolutely amazing after each class and feel my core is strengthening. “

Pilates class

“I have better movement in the hips, thighs/groin which was an issue for me. I also enjoy the breath work at the end.”
