James Power - Chiropractor Chiropractic treatment and help with musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries!

From weekend warriors to professional athletes, we are passionate about helping

As the Commonwealth Games have ende, I’ve found myself looking back at one of the highlights of my career.

A few years ago, I had the privilege of being one of only a small number of chiropractors working in the multidisciplinary medical centre at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

For those few weeks, our team looked after athletes from across the Commonwealth. Different countries. Different sports. One shared goal: helping them perform at their best.

People often ask what separates elite athletes from everyone else.

It’s easy to think it’s talent.

Working at the Games taught me it was something much simpler.

The very best athletes don’t just train hard. They recover well. They pay attention to the small things. They ask for help early. They respect the process, even when nobody is watching.

I also came away with another reminder.

High performance is never built by one person.

Every athlete who walked into the Polyclinic was supported by an incredible team of doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors, sports therapists, strength coaches and many others, all working together behind the scenes.

That’s something I carry into my clinic every day.

Most of my patients aren’t chasing Commonwealth medals.

They’re chasing a pain-free run, a weekend of golf, lifting their children without discomfort, or simply feeling like themselves again.

The principles are exactly the same.

Look after your body before it forces you to.

I’m incredibly grateful to have been part of such an amazing team, and watching the Games again reminds me what a privilege it was.

What you see on the podium is only a few minutes.

What gets an athlete there happens long before the starting gun.

There are weekends that leave you physically tired.

Then there are weekends that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked your bag.

Last weekend I had the privilege of speaking at BCA Chiro Climb 2026, delivering a workshop on shoulder assessment and movement, followed by a keynote called The Weight You Carry.

The workshop was about clinical reasoning.

The keynote was about something much more personal.

It came from conversations I’ve had over the years with clinicians who quietly question themselves after a difficult case. The email that sits in your mind. The patient you can’t stop thinking about. The responsibility that somehow follows you home.

For a long time, I thought those feelings were something you were supposed to keep to yourself.

Standing in that room, I realised they weren’t mine alone.

Afterwards, so many people came over to share their own stories. Different careers. Different experiences. The same emotions.

That reminded me that behind every title, every qualification and every clinic door is simply another human being doing their best to help someone else.

If this talk achieved one thing, I hope it made a few people feel a little less alone.

Thank you to everyone who came to the workshop, listened, asked questions and shared your own experiences.

And to everyone who climbed Snowdon alongside us…

Sometimes the conversations on the way down are every bit as valuable as reaching the summit.

Three weeks. Thousands of kilometres. More motorway service stations than I care to remember.

People often ask me what it’s like working at the Giro d’Italia.

The truth is, it’s rarely the moments you see on TV.

It’s airport departures, team buses, early alarms, roadside bottle hand-ups, endless transfers, quick coffees, the occasional gelato stop, and sharing the experience with a great group of people.

Somewhere in between all that, there happens to be a bike race.

This year’s Giro looked a little different too. For the first time, EF swapped the famous pink for green. It felt strange at first, but some things never change — the commitment, the teamwork, and the privilege of being part of it.

My seventh Giro d’Italia is done.

Grateful for the riders, the staff, the supporters, and everyone behind the scenes who make an event of this scale possible.

Until the next one 🇮🇹🚴‍♂️

Some things mean more than trophies.

This week I added another jersey to the clinic wall.

A gift from Ben Healy.

Growing up in Dublin, I never imagined I’d spend my career travelling the world, working alongside some of the best athletes on the planet, and helping support them through the highs, the setbacks, the crashes, the recoveries, and the countless moments nobody ever sees.

What stays with me isn’t the race results, the podiums, or the headlines.

It’s the trust.

Trust is earned quietly over time. Through consistency. Through showing up. Through doing your job when nobody is watching.

As an Irishman living and working in London, seeing this Team Ireland jersey hanging on the wall is a reminder of how far the journey has taken me.

From watching sport as a kid, to supporting Irish athletes on some of the biggest stages in the world.

Grateful for the opportunities.

Proud of my Irish roots.

And excited for what comes next.

Pain isn’t the first sign something’s off. It’s usually the last.

Before pain shows up, your body has been whispering for weeks.

Stiffness in the morning. Recovery taking longer. A ni**le that won’t quite go. Feeling slower on the bike or in the gym for no obvious reason.

Most people wait. They train through it, hope it settles, book in only when it starts affecting sleep, training or work.

That’s reactive care. Waiting for pain to make the decision for you.

Proactive care flips it. You look at how you’re moving, how you’re recovering, where capacity is dropping — and you sort it before it becomes the thing that pulls you out of training for six weeks.

Same body. Same person. Very different outcome.

The athletes I see who stay consistent year after year aren’t the ones who never have issues. They’re the ones who pay attention early.

Pain isn’t the enemy. Waiting for it is.

Movement. Performance. Recovery.

Most people only see the final.

They don’t see the treatment room 15 minutes before it.

Over several days at the World Championships, his shoulder became progressively more restricted and sensitive from the demands of competition, recovery, and repeated loading.

This was the final reset before stepping back onto the mat.

Small details matter at this level:
mobility, confidence, timing, control.

Sometimes the difference is giving an athlete the trust to move freely again before competition.

13 seconds from over 20 minutes of treatment work.

Elite sport moves fast.

🎥 Save this if you compete.
