The Firefly Story

Martin McGeough, a qualified podiatrist, set up the Belfast Foot Clinic in 1989 after gaining extensive career experience practicing podiatry at home and in the United States. In 2003 he and his wife Jill moved to Leitrim where they set up Firefly to supply 'custom made'' orthotics to the podiatric profession across the UK and Ireland.

The Belfast Foot Clinic was rebranded as Firefly Foot & Ankle Clinic and grew to incorporate clinics in Sligo, where the company is now headquartered, Dublin, Cork with the latest clinic operating in Galway city.

Over his career Martin has provided podiatric advice and services to Premier League football clubs which include Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspurs, Norwich, Newcastle West Ham and Aston Villa. Firefly also supplies their custom made foot orthotics to the European golf tour.

In 2014 Greg Gillanders joined Firefly Foot and Ankle Clinics. Greg brings extensive career experience having practiced in the renowned Headley Court military hospital in the UK.

Since joining Firefly Foot & Ankle Clinics, Greg has become Managing Director. In this position he has overseen the growth of the company with our Belfast clinic relocating to Kingsbridge Private Hospital on the Lisburn Road and the opening of our most recent clinic Galway city centre.

What our patient's say

Am I impressed with Firefly? Totally! I've told everyone about Firefly, because people can't believe the changes in Josh. From not being able to stand, to now being able to run!

Aileen, mother of Josh (6) with Cerebral Palsy

As an athlete who was experiencing severe Achilles pain, I thought the injury would force me to quit running. After a consultation with Firefly, I was fitted with orthotics that have eradicated the pain and given me the confidence to train more often and run faster.

Michael, amateur runner, Sligo

Firefly were the first to actually explain what the problem was with my ankles and give me treatment that works without medication. When I first went to Firefly, my ankles were swollen, red and very painful, but now I'm back to walking up the stairs and hill walking at weekends.

Carolyn, Dublin

Firefly have played a pivotal role in my recovery from injury, in which I missed an entire season. I had problems with my biomechanics and foot plant which have been resolved after wearing Firefly's orthotics. Firefly also provide different orthotics for my spikes and racing flats which are beneficial to my performance and most importantly prevent injury.
