Your questions about Natalia Sports Therapy
I operate from a beautiful Georgian building at 11 Herbert Street, Dublin 2.
Sports Therapy & Injury Treatment sessions are designed to address specific injuries, areas of pain, movement restrictions, or musculoskeletal concerns. Unlike a full-body massage, these sessions focus on assessing and treating the underlying cause of your symptoms.
Your appointment will begin with a consultation, where we discuss your symptoms, medical history, training habits, lifestyle, and any factors that may be contributing to your condition. Depending on your presentation, I may carry out a movement assessment and a series of clinical tests to help identify the source of your pain or dysfunction.
Treatment is tailored to your individual needs and goals. Techniques may include sports massage, soft tissue therapy, myofascial release, joint mobilisations, stretching, and movement-based interventions. Where clinically appropriate, additional therapies such as dry needling, cupping, taping, or instrument-assisted soft tissue techniques may also be incorporated.
Please wear comfortable clothing, as you may be asked to move into different positions or perform simple movements during the assessment process.
Treatment does not need to be painful to be effective. I will always work within your comfort levels and adapt techniques to suit your preferences and tolerance. My aim is not only to help reduce pain and improve mobility, but also to provide guidance and strategies that support long-term recovery and injury prevention.
We do not work with minors under the age of 16. For clients aged 16 to 18, parental consent is required, or one parent must be present during the session.
Any medical or physical conditions will be carefully considered, and treatments will be adjusted accordingly to ensure your safety and comfort.
I am a registered therapist with the IMTA, which means you are eligible for insurance coverage with Irish Life Health. I am also registered with ANMT, which means you are eligible for insurance coverage with Laya Healthcare.
If you’re unsure about the details, please refer to the terms and conditions of your insurance package for clarification.

When booking a treatment, you will be asked to fill out a consultation form. This will help me assess whether the treatment is suitable for you and obtain your consent for the session.
Examples of general contra-indications, where medical consent may be required, include high or low blood pressure, fever, vomiting, contagious diseases, and acute conditions that need medical attention.
Local contra-indications, where treatment can still proceed but certain areas will be avoided, include bruises, verrucae, and recent scar tissue. If you’re unsure about your condition, please contact your therapist before booking to clarify.
Every effort is made to maintain your modesty and comfort throughout the treatment. Underwear or shorts should be worn at all times and ladies will be asked to remove their bras if necessary. It is also advised not to wear anything which could be easily stained from oils or creams used.
Before the treatment begins your therapist will leave the room and you will have privacy while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean towel and blanket. Only parts of the body that are being treated are exposed, and towels or blankets are used for covering the body and to keep you warm and comfortable. After the treatment, your therapist will leave the room again while you get dressed. They will either be waiting for you outside the treatment room when you are ready or will politely knock to come back into the room.
- Inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave the premisses.
