Welcome
About Us
Welcome to the Michelle Hayes Coru Physiotherapy /Physical Therapy Clinic!
Michelle Hayes, a seasoned professional in the field of fitness, sport, health, and Physical Therapy/Physiotherapy has been serving communities in Waterford, Cork, and Kerry for over 20 years. Since establishing her business in 2012, Michelle has been dedicated to expanding her skillset and knowledge through continuous professional development.
Originally from Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, Michelle moved to Kerry to complete her degree in Applied Health Science, Health and Leisure Studies, at the Institute of Technology, Tralee. This was the stepping stone to her second degree and the birth of her clinic today.
In the early 2000s, Michelle lent her expertise to many Kerry teams and other hurling and football teams. However, family commitments led her back to Waterford in 2010, where she began her practice. Despite the move, Michelle continued to work in the sports arena, collaborating with teams such as Wexford Senior Hurling, Hoarsewood GAA, Portlaoise Senior Football, and Thomond Rugby and many more.
Michelle’s qualifications extend beyond physiotherapy/Physical Therapy. She is a passionate yoga, Pilates, Yogalates, stretch/flexibility, and breath coach, as well as a personal trainer and fitness instructor. She also offers a range of massage therapies, having trained in Thai Massage, Thai Yoga, and Thai Foot in Bangkok.
In 2019, Michelle returned to Kerry and reopened her clinic. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, she remains committed to her practice, focusing on back care and specializing in neck and cranio-cervicals. Trained under renowned physiotherapist Dr. Greenbaum, Michelle provides a holistic approach to TMD management, TMJ, headaches, and upper cervical issues. Her goal is to prevent acute conditions from becoming chronic and to provide lifestyle maintenance for those suffering from cervicogenic headaches or neck tension.
Michelle’s ultimate goal is to promote health, wellness, and body awareness. She firmly believes that movement is medicine and applies this philosophy in her clinic through appropriate advice, treatment, rehabilitation, and classes for maintenance and injury prevention.
As a progressive healthcare provider, Michelle meets her requirements of updating her continued professional development in her field along with the latest research.
She is fully registered with professional bodies CORU, M.I.A.P.T and is covered by all health insurance depending on your individual plan, including VHI, LAYA, AVIVA, St. Pauls Garda, Irish Life, Health, and Glo Health.
