Bob Coleby is the founder of Phoenix Therapy Galway. Originally from the south of England, Bob spent many years working as a boat builder before moving to Ireland after first visiting in 2007. His background in skilled, practical work gave him a strong appreciation for how the body moves and the physical strain that work, sport and everyday life can place on it. In 2016, Bob decided to pursue a new career focused on helping people manage pain, muscular tension and restricted movement. He trained in massage therapy and went on to establish Phoenix Therapy Galway, building a clinic centred on practical, personalised and hands-on care. Bob believes effective treatment should involve more than simply giving clients a list of exercises to complete at home. His approach uses hands-on techniques to work directly with areas of pain, tightness and reduced mobility. Depending on the client’s needs, treatment may include sports massage, deep tissue techniques, dry needling or cupping. Whether someone is dealing with muscular discomfort, recovering from sport or struggling with the physical demands of work and daily life, Bob takes time to understand what is happening and tailors each treatment accordingly. His aim is to help clients move more comfortably, recover well and return to the activities they enjoy. Today, Bob works alongside a small team of skilled therapists at Phoenix Therapy Galway. Together, they provide professional care in a welcoming environment that combines the comfort of a therapy space with a focused, results-led approach to treatment. For Bob, Phoenix Therapy is about making people feel heard, understood and properly cared for. Each treatment begins with the individual and what they need on that particular day.
