Leanne Walsh

I would highly recommend Mariam, her rooms are very accessible with unground parking which makes the experience all the more pleasant. I booked with Mariam for a sports massage and am very impressed. She is both highly knowledgeable and experienced. She very quickly found the tight spots i didn't even know existed. It has been 2 days since my massage, and I can feel my body move more freely.

Selina Furlong
★★★★★

I had the pleasure and privilege of working with Mariam. She genuinely cared about her patients. As I worked to overcome my motor vehicle accident injury, she always sought feedback on how my body was responding and took detailed notes to create the best possible program specific to my injury. Mariam helped me to believe my body could be strong again and was integral to how I was able to complete a marathon in October 2023. I would not hesitate to recommend her

Hana Brown
★★★★★

I saw Mariam with some running related back and quadriceps pain. She immediately knew what to do, and what it was caused by. She didn't only give me a very thorough massage, but also suggested some exercises that can fix the root cause.She is very professional, I can strongly recommend her.

Had a sports massage before my marathon with Mariam and she was fantastic. Extremely professional and knowledgeable, and she could immediately identify the areas that needed attention, even better than I could myself! I felt a real difference afterwards.

Mariam holds a Master's in Physiotherapy and a Bachelor's in Biomedical Physiology & Kinesiology. Before moving to Ireland she worked for three years as a regulated Kinesiologist in Canada, treating athletes, chronic-pain patients, and people recovering from workplace and motor-vehicle injuries.

She's worked across clinic and community settings with runners, lifters, police officers, and persistent-pain patients, and ran her own independent client roster before relocating to Edinburgh to complete her Masters.

Mariam takes a particular interest in MMA and climbing injuries as well as TMD issues and related pain. She enjoys working with individuals from all age groups and fitness levels, as well as postoperative rehabilitation, not exclusive to post-orthopaedic surgeries.

In her free time she enjoys climbing, spending time with family, cooking and baking. She truly believes that a lot of things can be made better with a nice meal in good company and an "A grade" cookie.

FAQ

How is Sports Massage Different from a relaxation or spa massage?

Different goal. A relaxation massage is designed to calm the nervous system and feel pleasant. A sports massage at TandemBalance is a clinical, hands-on session aimed at the specific muscles driving your pain, with a proper assessment and aftercare plan to back it up. Both have their place; we focus on the second.

Where exactly are you, and is there parking?

We're at Apartment 14, Therapy Rooms, Victoria Cross Road, Cork, T12 T1XC, just west of the city centre. There's on-street parking on the side street behind the building, and the clinic is well served by bus routes through Cork city. Plan to be there 5 minutes early. The building serves multiple disciplines — when you arrive, ring the buzzer and someone will let you into the building where you can wait in the waiting area.

What should I wear, and what should I bring?

Wear something comfortable that you can move in; loose shorts and a t-shirt or sports kit work well. We'll make sure you're properly draped throughout the session. Just bring yourself; we'll provide everything else.

What's your cancellation policy?

We ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or move your appointment, so we can offer the slot to someone else. You can manage your bookings directly through Jane.
