I had my first appointment with Mariam today, and it definitely won't be my last! I've seen quite a few physiotherapists over the years, and from the moment I met Mariam, I could tell she genuinely cares about her clients 🙂 She was so kind, friendly, and professional, and really helped with the issue I was having 🙏🏼 I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great physiotherapist. Thanks Mariam! ❤️

I would highly recommend Mariam, her rooms are very accessible with underground 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.

What can I say, I had the most amazing healing with Mariam. She is kind, intelligent but most importantly she provides insight and empathy that I have never encountered from any therapist before, had been in agony for 5 weeks with leg pain, had tried so much to find relief to no avail. One session later with Mariam and I walked out of the session free of pain, I will continue to attend Mariam to build up my strength etc. I would highly recommend her to anyone in pain 🙏

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

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.

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 inside One Arena at 4 Swan’s Nest 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.

What's your cancellation policy?

We ask for at least 24 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.
