I went to Mariam for persistent shoulder pain and a calf strain that wasn’t improving on its own. From day one she did a thorough assessment and built a plan that fit me. The shoulder mobility came back much faster than I expected, and the calf pain is basically gone now. What stood out most was how Mariam explained the ‘why’ behind each exercise and checked in on progress every visit. I feel stronger and more confident moving again. 100% recommend her.

Mariam is so helpful and knowledgeable! She really helped with my tension headaches and is providing me with ongoing care for my aches and pains due to hyper mobility. She's absolutely wonderful to work with, and I have recommended her to multiple friends. Thanks Mariam!

Shauna Smith
★★★★★

I highly recommend her! I went in with a quadriceps issue, and she was absolutely fantastic. She took the time to thoroughly assess the problem, clearly explain what was going on, and provide me with exercises to support my recovery.

What really stood out was her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine passion for what she does. She even spent extra time with me beyond the scheduled appointment to provide additional treatment, without asking for anything extra in return.

I left feeling much better informed and confident about my recovery. A truly skilled and caring physiotherapist. Thank you!

I was recommended to see Mariam by a colleague she’d helped tremendously with her leg. Having seen her twice already I’m really happy with our progress, noticing immediate release after our physio sessions and that my prescribed exercises weren’t overwhelming. Would definitely recommend her!

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 upstairs, inside One Arena at 4 Swan’s Nest, Forge Hill Business Park, Pouladuff Road, Cork, T12 XC1Y, just south of the city centre. Park anywhere at One Arena, front or side. It’s all available to our patients. Plan to be there 5 minutes early.

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.

Will I be sore afterwards?

Sometimes, yes. You can be a bit more sore for a day or so after the first visit. That's us finding where the limits are, and we'll tell you before it happens. If anything feels wrong rather than just sore, get in touch and we'll talk it through.

What's your cancellation policy?

Give us at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or move an appointment, so we can offer the slot to someone else. With less notice, or if you don't attend, a €15 late cancellation fee is added to your account and settled at your next visit. For members the session counts as used instead, with no fee on top. You can manage bookings through Jane, and the full policy is in our terms.
