As a manager and coach in elite level sport, I need to know I can trust the decision making process of the medical team, and in particular the physiotherapist, in terms of player injuries. During my time with Kildare, I had complete faith in Rob’s ability to carry out this role to the highest standard. I always found Rob’s clinical knowledge, and practical application of this knowledge, to be exemplary in the diagnosis-treatment-rehabilitation-review-return to play cycle. Of equal importance to Rob’s clinical expertise, was his nature in treating the ‘person’, and not just the ‘athlete’, where he consistently showed a genuine interest in each players' welfare, looking at presenting problems holistically with an understanding of the pressures of the modern day player.

Rob has treated many patients that I have seen; some after surgery, others that were managed conservatively. Any of my patients who work with McCabe Physiotherapy on their rehab consistently do well and are expertly taken care of by Rob and his team to the very best standards.

Injury never sits well with a marathoner runner, especially when trying to complete all world major marathons. There were many times I thought I wouldn't make the start line, never mind the finish line due to an achilles problem. But Rob was able to accurately assess, diagnose and then manage the achilles issue by modifying my training plan and putting rehabilitation strategies in place. Thankfully I'm still running and going from strength to strength. For any runner with an injury I couldn't recommend him enough.
