Standout year for Gold Standard Physio

Gold Standard Physio has been named as the Irish Sports Injury Clinic of the Year at The Private Healthcare Awards in Dublin for the second consecutive year.

This latest honour caps a remarkable 2025 for the Nenagh-based clinic: earlier in the year, Gold Standard Physio won the 2025 ISCP Private Practice Award alongside a 2025 Private Healthcare Excellence Award, completing the trio of the most prestigious accolades an Irish Chartered Physiotherapy clinic can achieve.

Management Response

“It’s a tremendous honour for our family-run organisation to be recognised alongside such respected healthcare providers as The Mater Private Network, VHI and The Beacon,” said Cian McDonnell, Founding Member and Managing Director. “On behalf of our team, I want to thank the people of Tipperary and beyond for their continued trust and support, which has allowed us to grow and enhance our services year after year. We very much dedicate this award to them.”

“Gold Standard’s energetic, enthusiastic team consistently delivers exceptional service, with their own-brand tools deployed thoughtfully alongside face-to-face care,” the panel said. “They continue to set the benchmark for client-focused excellence, leading the sector in both innovation and tangible impact.”
