About SF Sports Therapy & Pilates

Sophie Finn

I am Sophie, the founder and principal clinician of SF Sports Therapy, and I hold a Bachelor's degree in Sports Therapy from London Metropolitan University. I have a lifelong passion for sports, particularly gymnastics, where I competed and coached for many years, I was naturally drawn into a career in sports therapy. My personal experience with physiotherapy has fueled my desire to help others overcome injuries and discomfort. I am dedicated to providing expert care, specialising in treating a variety of sports-related and common injuries, while offering my clients not only physical relief but also peace of mind. As a female sports therapist, I strive to create a welcoming environment for both men and women seeking recovery and well-being.

Suzanne Finn

I'm Suzanne, with over 35 years experience in the aesthetic industry including the last 31years running a highly  successful business here in Portmarnock village. My passion for anatomy and physiology started in my college days, and over time, I discovered Pilates as more than just a way to stay fit—it became life-changing for me. After struggling with back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by poor posture, osteoarthritis, and bulging discs, my consultant recommended Pilates. Though I had attended classes on and off, I decided to dive deeper into studying the practice. Understanding the principles and methodology transformed my Pilates practice, and over time, my pain disappeared, and I became stronger, more mobile, and more flexible.

Inspired by my own journey, I became a certified Pilates instructor to help others benefit in the same way. I focus on teaching the fundamentals—alignment, core connection, and breath—so my students can truly experience the transformative power of Pilates.

SF Sports Therapy & Pilates is a mother-daughter team bringing together the expertise of two generations under one roof. Together, we offer a holistic approach to health and wellness, blending Pilates and sports therapy in one welcoming space in Portmarnock. Our goal is to empower everyone to feel stronger, more confident, and physically capable, especially those dealing with pain, injury recovery, or life changes such as menopause.
