From Toronto With Love

Sam Yentin at Eire Óg Greystones FRI19JULY24

here must be something in the spring water down at SPARC in the Greystones Éire Óg HQ.

Not only can they attract top-of-the-world-rankings Argentinian football icons but, it seems, they can also bring lovebirds together.

At least, that appears to be what happened with Toronto physio Sam Yentin, who left his native Canada to work his magic in Greystones.

And, it has to be said, to be with his beautiful new wife up in sunny Blacklion.

Naturally, we thought it only fair let the lad introduce himself to the town.

So, hopefully, after between 40 and 60 years living here, he’ll no longer be considered a blow-in…

Bringing My Expertise to Physiotherapy Practice in Greystones
Hello! My name is Sam Yentin, and I am thrilled to be joining the SPARC team in the beautiful town of Greystones. With a diverse background in physical therapy, athletic therapy, and massage therapy, I am eager to bring my experience and passion to this vibrant community.

My Journey in Physiotherapy
My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Therapy from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, where I developed a strong foundation in injury prevention and rehabilitation.
Following this, I earned a Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto, a program that honed my skills in advanced therapeutic techniques and patient management. I further expanded my expertise with a Diploma in Massage Therapy from the Ontario College of Health & Technology.

Professional Experience
My professional career has been enriched by a variety of roles across different settings. Most recently, I worked as a Staff Physiotherapist at the University of Toronto, where I mainly worked with varsity athletes and was responsible for the swimming and field hockey teams. I have also had the privilege of working in highly respected private practices in Toronto where I have been able to hone my skills.

Personal Experience
As an avid gym goer and aspiring cyclist (still getting used to the hills in Wicklow!), I have picked up my fair share of aches, pains, and injuries. I know just how difficult managing injuries can be and how scary it can be when you don’t know what’s going on. That’s why I believe so strongly in clear communication and keeping you informed on your recovery every step of the way!

Lessons Learned
Throughout my career, I have learned the importance of a personalised approach to physiotherapy. Everyone is unique, and understanding your individual needs and goals is crucial to me. My experience in diverse environments has taught me to adapt my methods and think creatively to overcome challenges. Whether working with athletes or patients recovering from surgery, I have developed a keen ability to design tailored treatment plans that promote optimal recovery and long-term health.

Applying My Experience to Greystones
I aim to bring the best of my experiences to the residents of Greystones. My background in athletic therapy equips me with specialised knowledge for treating sports-related injuries, while my training in massage therapy allows me to offer comprehensive care that includes pain relief and muscle relaxation.

I am committed to ongoing education and frequent upskilling to ensure that you receive the highest quality of care.

Benefits for My Patients
You can expect a holistic approach to physiotherapy that goes beyond treating symptoms. My goal is to address the root causes of pain and dysfunction, providing long-term solutions that enhance overall well-being. Whether you are dealing with a sports injury, chronic pain, or seeking to improve your physical performance, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your health goals. I am excited to bring my knowledge and expertise to Greystones and look forward to serving this wonderful community. Let’s work together to achieve your health and wellness goals!
