About O’Donnell Physiotherapy | Kildare & Dublin Clinic

Elite care, for everyone.

Athlete-founded. Expert-driven.
Built around you.

Whether you’re an elite athlete aiming for peak performance, recovering from injury, managing a long-term condition, supporting healthy aging, or chasing a new goal, we’re here to support your journey with expert knowledge, proven experience, and a human touch.

Led by Expertise. Informed by Experience.

Breiffne O'Donnell

Founder & Physiotherapist

In 2012, physiotherapist and former international rugby player Breiffne O’Donnell set out to blend clinical expertise with real-world understanding, combining elite-level insight with a truly personal approach to care.

From day one, O’Donnell Physio has been built around a single goal: helping people move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing what they love. What began as a vision for smarter, more individualised rehab has grown into a trusted clinic known for clinical excellence, hands-on experience, and results that last.

We’re proud to be trusted by some of Ireland’s most respected voices in sport and surgery. From Olympians and intercounty athletes to leading orthopaedic surgeons, our approach is recognised for blending scientific precision with real-world understanding. Whether you’re performing on the world stage or simply want to live pain-free, our team brings the same high standard of care, clarity, and support to every patient who walks through our doors.

Elite care, for everyone.

The best recovery starts with the right plan. That’s why we work closely with you to craft personalised treatments grounded in expert knowledge and designed around your goals — that’s what sets O’Donnell Physio apart.

Breiffne has helped me at various key stages of my professional career in rugby. His understanding of best practice coupled with what works for me as an individual has given me vital support over the years. His capacity to give me confidence as an athlete based on the trust I have in his judgement is something I am grateful to have had from the start of my career.

Fergus McFadden - Irish International, Leinster Rugby Player

Breiffne has looked after many patients I treated surgically or non-operatively. The feedback I constantly receive from patients about their experience with Breiffne is consistently excellent. I feel confident recommending Breiffne to my patients as I know they will receive excellent care. I highly recommend Breiffne as your physiotherapist.

Mihai Vioreanu - Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Santry Sports Surgery Clinic

Breiffne got me back to rugby after knee surgery. The recovery was difficult but his patience and experience got me through it. His own sporting background is a huge advantage and i trust his advice and treatment completely.

Rob Campbell - Patient, ACL reconstruction

Following enforced retirement from boxing, it was very important for me to keep training and maintain a high level of fitness. Breiffne has always helped me with any injury setbacks and expertly transitions me back to my training safely and efficiently, consistently knowing when to push me and when to pull me back. I highly recommend him.

Cathal O'Grady - Irish Olympian boxer 1996 Atlanta Games

I can not thank the O’Donnell Physiotherapy team enough. They are all professional, friendly and very caring. I have had a few ongoing issues. Aislinn Aherne was excellent with her diagnosis and treatment. She is helping me with physio and sports massage and also by explaining pain management, which has been a hugely affective treatment.

I highly recommend the O’Donnell Physiotherapy team.

Anna Mullen - Patient

I would highly recommend Breiffne. He is the best physio I have worked with. He has helped me overcome 2 serious knee injuries and I have full confidence in him because every rehabilitation plan has been successful. His ability to make me feel comfortable as a client made recovery easier and he always has an answer to any injury concern I have and constantly pushes me to improve and become stronger in every way.

Tiegan Ruddy - Irish Womens Football u19s captain

I felt in really safe hands with Breiffne during my pregnancy. He is very skilled, practical and patient. He helped me manage my back pain until the baby arrived and resolved it completely afterwards! I have recommended him to lots of people since.

Sinead McGarry - Patient, Back pain

Four years ago I had a knee replacement but things went very badly wrong for me. It was life changing. Breffne and his team were hugely instrumental in helping me.

I cannot recommend O’Donnell Physiotherapy enough.
