What moves the price
- Therapist's experience — a sports therapist who has worked with clubs or a particular sport often charges more.
- Complexity of the treatment required — a rehabilitation programme with manual therapy and exercise takes more time than a sports massage.
- Session length — a longer treatment session costs more than a short follow-up with the same sports therapist.
- Assessment and diagnosis — an initial assessment of a new injury takes longer than a treatment session, so it usually costs more.
- Clinic or pitch-side — a sports therapist working at a match or training session adds travel and waiting time.
Other medical and paramedical services prices in Ireland are up 15% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Other medical and paramedical services, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical sports therapist would have cost about €60 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- Doing the prescribed exercises at home between appointments can mean fewer treatment sessions with the sports therapist.
- Having an injury assessed soon after it happens can mean a shorter rehabilitation programme than waiting.
- You can ask about a lower rate for a block of treatment sessions booked together in advance.
- Clubs can ask about a team rate for pitch-side sports therapy, which shares the cost among players.
- Booking at the clinic rather than pitch-side or a home visit avoids paying for the therapist's travel time.
Before you book

- Access to the affected area, if applicable, for assessment and treatment.
- Any relevant imaging or diagnostic reports, such as X-rays or MRIs.
