The new center will provide physical therapy, postoperative and injury rehabilitation, concussion and hamstring services, performance analysis and will offer a range of UPMC Institute for Health classes.

“The opening of our new UPMC Sports Medicine Clinic is a testament to our commitment to delivering excellence in patient care in sports and exercise medicine,” said John Windle, general manager, Sports Medicine, UPMC Ireland. “Mardyke Arena UCC is known nationally and internationally as a center of excellence for sport and physical activity.
