A former Gaelic footballer with the Tyrone under 21 team, Gerry empathises with the drive and dedication of all sports enthusiasts he treats, both amateur and professional. At University Gerry captained the Northern Ireland College basketball team and to-day remains involved in underage basketball coaching. He has completed 2 marathons and enjoys his involvement in his Dunshaughlin GAA Golf Society, when time permits.
As Gerry explains: “I have thoroughly enjoyed building up my practice from looking after those in the local community, who are suffering from a whole host of physical problems, to working with some of our leading sportsmen and women”.
