All about us
We are Kathy Nugent and Sinead Cobbe, CORU-registered physiotherapists and lymphoedema therapists, based in Limerick, Ireland. We work with patients prior to, during and after breast cancer treatments. With many years of experience in delivering excellence in patient care, we are also published clinical researchers. We believe that patient education and early detection of signs and symptoms are key to successfully managing any treatment side-effects. We are passionate about supporting people with a breast cancer diagnosis to navigate their journey with a greater sense of choice and control, to increase their quality of life while thriving through their rehabilitation.
