About
Dr Stuart O'Flanagan is a Consultant in Sports & Exercise Medicine based at Blackrock Clinic, Dublin. In private practice he sees active people of all ages and abilities — from middle-aged patients with shoulder, knee, hip or back pain, to recreational runners, cyclists and golfers, to club-level players and international athletes. Every patient receives the same specialist assessment, the same clear diagnosis, and the same tailored plan.
Alongside his private clinic, he is the National Team Doctor and Head of Performance Support to the Irish Men's Senior Rugby team — overseeing all medical care and the integrated performance support system across Six Nations campaigns, Rugby World Cups, and international tours. Before this, he spent six seasons as Team Doctor to Leinster Rugbythrough four European Champions Cup finals and four successive Pro14/URC titles. Beyond rugby, he consults individually with elite athletes across GAA, Major-winning golfers on the European and US PGA Tours, international track and field athletes, and professional football players from League of Ireland to the Premier League.
