Welcome SANNI Physio & Wellness to the Little Island Business Association!
SANNI Physio & Wellness is a physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and wellness clinic with locations in Little Island and Ballyvolane, Cork. Their Little Island clinic is based at 206 Harbour Point Business Park, providing accessible physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and wellness services close to many of the businesses and companies in the area.
The clinic is led by Modinat Sanni, Chartered Physiotherapist and pelvic health specialist, who has been working in physiotherapy since 2013. Together with Chartered Physiotherapist Aidan Power, experienced massage and wellness therapist Tunde Sagi, and the wider SANNI team, their focus is on providing personalised, patient-centred care that looks beyond simply treating the painful area.
Tunde brings more than 20 years of experience in massage and wellness and provides a range of treatments including Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), deep tissue massage, pregnancy and postnatal massage, relaxation massage, and head and facial treatments at our Little Island clinic.
Supporting the People Who Work in Little Island
We all know that different jobs place very different demands on the body.
For people spending long hours at a desk, problems such as neck pain, back pain, headaches, shoulder tension, and sciatica can gradually develop.
For those working in manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, trades and other physically demanding roles, repetitive movements, lifting, prolonged standing, and physical workload can contribute to back, shoulder, knee and other musculoskeletal problems.
SANNI Physio & Wellness also works closely with people experiencing sports injuries, persistent or recurring pain, reduced mobility, post-injury rehabilitation, and difficulties returning to normal activity, exercise or work.
Their approach begins with understanding why the problem is occurring. Treatment may combine hands-on physiotherapy, individualised exercise rehabilitation, and appropriate therapeutic technologies depending on the patient’s needs.
The Little Island clinic also has access to specialist rehabilitation equipment and advanced treatment technologies, including spinal mobilisation and decompression, shockwave therapy, electrotherapy and ultrasound, alongside dedicated exercise rehabilitation facilities.
These technologies are used to support physiotherapy rather than replace it. Assessment, clinical reasoning, hands-on care and individual rehabilitation remain at the centre of the clinic’s approach.
Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Little Island is also home to SANNI Physio & Wellness’ pelvic health physiotherapy service for both women and men. Pelvic health concerns can have a significant impact on everyday life but are often difficult for people to talk about or seek help for.
The clinic supports patients with concerns including pelvic pain, bladder symptoms and incontinence, pelvic floor dysfunction, pregnancy and postnatal rehabilitation, abdominal and pelvic recovery, and male pelvic health concerns including rehabilitation following prostate surgery.
The overarching aim is to provide a professional, respectful, and comfortable environment where these concerns can be discussed openly and treated appropriately.
Massage, Recovery, & Wellness
Alongside physiotherapy and rehabilitation, the Little Island clinic offers a range of massage, recovery, and wellness treatments with Tunde.
These include Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), deep tissue massage, pregnancy and postnatal massage, and relaxation treatments. These services can support people looking after their general wellbeing, managing the physical demands of work and everyday life, recovering after periods of increased physical strain, or simply taking some time to relax and care for their body.
More Than Treating Pain
At SANNI Physio & Wellness, they believe physiotherapy should not simply be about providing temporary relief.
It is crucial that patients are provided the support they need to understand their bodies, identify factors contributing to their symptoms, and have a clear rehabilitation plan to help them move better, become stronger and return to the activities that matter to them.
The Ballyvolane clinic further extends SANNI Physio & Wellness’ services across Cork, with physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy, sports massage, injury recovery and rehabilitation available from our team.
Supporting Students and Our Wider Community
We also understand that the cost of healthcare can sometimes make it difficult for students to access physiotherapy when they need it.
For this reason, SANNI Physio & Wellness periodically offers special student appointments at a reduced price, subject to availability. These initiatives are designed to make physiotherapy and rehabilitation more accessible to students while giving them the opportunity to seek help rather than allowing pain or an injury to interfere with their studies, work, sport or everyday life.
These limited student offers are announced when they become available.
Becoming Part of the Little Island Business Community
“Joining LIBA is an exciting step for us because we want SANNI Physio & Wellness to be more than simply a clinic located in Little Island. We would love to become a trusted local healthcare resource for the people who live and work here and for the businesses that employ them.
We are particularly interested in connecting with local employers and exploring opportunities around workplace musculoskeletal health, injury prevention, employee wellbeing, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation.
Whether someone is struggling with back pain after long hours at a desk, recovering from a sports or workplace injury, experiencing persistent pain, looking for specialist pelvic health support, or interested in massage and wellness services, our team is here to help them understand the problem and find an appropriate way forward.
We look forward to meeting fellow LIBA members, building relationships with local businesses and becoming an active part of the Little Island business community.” – Modinat Sanni, Chartered Physiotherapist and pelvic health specialist
