Darren Finnegan

Co- Director

Darren is one of the co-founding directors of Pro Health Physiotherapy NE with extensive experience in the NHS, Connect Health and private practices in the UK and Ireland.

Darren is an energetic, well-respected and passionate Chartered Physiotherapist. Darren chose this career path after his dad suffered from a stroke, and unfortunately passed away when he was 18 years old. This difficult experience ignited a passion for helping and guiding others on their own health & well-being journey.

His professional accolades include working with Great Britain’s female Basketball team, working at the Commonwealth Games with world champion track & field athletes and professional combat athletes, and an active contributor to the North East Musculoskeletal Society (NEMS). A sporting interest, combined with extensive experience working in public healthcare, makes Darren a well-rounded and relatable practitioner for people from all walks of life.

Born in Canada, and having lived in Ireland before moving to the North East, Darren loves to meet new people, experience new cultures and challenge himself. Darren prides himself on being disciplined, fearless, driven and optimistic in his personal life. He has used these traits to complete many adventure races, half marathons and endurance events.

Darren loves his job, coaching people from all backgrounds and disciplines back to pain free, fearless movement. This passion is shared when working in the public health space, with those with persistent pain, and those who need a person-first holistic therapist.
