Kevin Arenhold
Physical Therapist
Prime Injury and Wellness Practice
Hello, and welcome!
I’m a qualified physical therapist proudly serving the Donegal community for the past five years.
Over this time, I’ve had the privilege of helping people from all walks of life recover from injury, manage pain, and get back to doing the things they love. My approach is hands-on, evidence-based, and always tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.
Whether you’re dealing with back or neck pain, sports injuries, post-surgery recovery, or general mobility issues, I’m here to help you move better and feel stronger.
About me

I grew up in South Africa, where sport was more than just a pastime — it was a way of life. I earned my degree in Sports Science from the University of Port Elizabeth and went on to play semi-professional rugby for Natal and Eastern Province. Competing at a high level gave me first-hand insight into the physical demands athletes face and the vital role that proper rehabilitation, injury prevention, and performance care play in long-term success.
While exploring the world, I met my wife, who is from Donegal. We later decided to make Donegal our home — the perfect place to raise our family and establish my practice as a physical therapist.
My background in sport continues to shape the way I work today. Having completed over 30 marathons and an Ironman triathlon, I understand the discipline, resilience, and physical strain that come with endurance training. I’ve also experienced sports-related injuries myself, which allows me to genuinely empathise with my patients and guide them safely back to full function and peak performance.
I am passionate about staying at the forefront of physical therapy. I regularly attend professional development courses and keep up to date with the latest advances in rehabilitation, movement science, and injury management to ensure my patients receive the highest standard of evidence-based care.
Whether you are recovering from injury, managing pain, or striving to improve performance, my goal is simple: to help you move better, feel stronger, and return confidently to the activities you love.
Services

Deep Tissue Massage
Provides powerful relief from chronic muscle pain, tension, and stiffness while improving flexibility and range of motion. By targeting deeper muscle layers, it promotes faster injury recovery, enhances circulation, and breaks down scar tissue. This therapy also supports athletic performance, reduces stress, improves posture, and helps lower blood pressure for overall health and wellbeing.

Post Op Rehabilitation
Focuses on a gradual, successful recovery through pain management, improved mobility, and restored independence. Early movement, good hydration, and a balanced diet promote healing and strength. With a positive mindset and active participation, patients regain physical and emotional wellbeing, returning to daily activities—and often achieving a better quality of life than before surgery.

Dry Needling
A highly effective treatment that relieves pain, improves movement, and supports faster recovery. Fine needles are gently inserted into or near myofascial trigger points—tight muscle bands that cause pain and restrict motion. This stimulation helps muscles contract and relax, releasing tension, restoring healthy function, and often providing immediate pain relief and improved flexibility.

Laser Therapy
A non-invasive treatment that uses focused wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing process. It increases cellular energy and circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues while helping to relieve pain and swelling. Effective for muscle and joint pain, sports injuries, sprains, strains, and nerve-related conditions, it promotes tissue repair, improves mobility, and supports faster recovery.

Spinal Manipulation
A non-invasive, drug-free treatment that relieves pain, improves mobility, and enhances nervous system function. It restores joint alignment, reduces inflammation, and promotes natural healing. Effective for back, neck, and headache pain, it boosts flexibility, posture, and circulation while easing tension and stimulating endorphins for better movement, comfort, and overall wellbeing.

Shockwave Therapy
A non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process and improve blood flow to damaged tissues. It helps reduce pain, break down calcium deposits and scar tissue, and reactivate healing in chronic soft-tissue injuries. Effective for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, and shoulder tendon injuries, it promotes tissue repair, restores mobility, and supports long-term recovery.
