About Me
Meet Cathal Ellis
Cathal Ellis – CORU Registered, MISCP, MSc Physiotherapy, BSc Sport Science and Health
I am Cathal Ellis, a Chartered Physiotherapist with an MSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy from University College Dublin and a BSc in Sport Science and Health from Dublin City University. My guiding principle is lifelong learning – I’ve expanded my expertise through numerous courses, mentorships, and conferences, ensuring I stay at the forefront of physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices. Specializing in sports physiotherapy, I’ve had the privilege to work with high-performing athletes across GAA, football, athletics, rugby, and more. My experience extends beyond the field; working in hospital settings has enriched my understanding of the broader health system, enhancing my ability to treat a range of conditions. Located in Donegal, The Physio Pod is founded on trust and comprehensive care. I am committed to providing each person who walks through our doors with the best possible service, tailored to their unique needs to the best of my ability. I pride myself to set attainable goals. Once these goals are met, it’s always a fulfilling journey.
