What should I expect during a physiotherapy session?

Assessment of your condition and medical history
Development of a personalised treatment plan
Hands-on therapy and exercise
Education on self-management techniques and exercises to perform at home
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies based on your condition, its severity, and your response to treatment. Your physiotherapist will discuss a treatment plan with you and adjust it as needed. This can be a shared decision-making process based on your own goals and expectations.
Is physiotherapy painful?
Physiotherapy aims to alleviate pain, not cause it. While some techniques might cause mild discomfort initially, the overall goal is to improve your condition and reduce pain in the long run. Your therapist will ensure your comfort and adjust treatments accordingly.
Do I need a referral for physiotherapy?
No referral is needed, simply book an appointment online or call us at 01-6870302.
What should I wear to my appointment?
We would recommend wearing something that is loose fitting that will not restrict movement and will allow for easy inspection of the injury site. You will also be likely to be performing some exercise, so appropriate footwear and clothing is preferred. Shorts are a good option if you have a lower limb injury.
Can my physio refer me for an MRI?
Yes. We can refer our clients for MRIs should we deem it necessary. However, there may be a more cost-effective way of getting an MRI, depending on whether you have private health insurance. We will advise on what is best for you.
Is there parking available on-site?
Yes. There is a car park behind the clinic with ample room for clients to park.
Do you offer physio-led personal training?
Yes. One-to-one personal training is a service we offer. This is a great option for those new to strength training. Here, you can perfect the technique of the common lifts and exercises and build your confidence.
We would often have an end goal for our clients to join a gym, exercise class or implementing their own home exercise routine. We can also provide nutrition advice to help to maximise the effectiveness of your training.
Do you do classes?
Yes we lead small-group pilates classes on Friday evenings and strength classes twice a week on Mondays (12pm) & Wednesdays (1pm). All classes operate in blocks of 6 weeks and have limited availability so give us a call or text if you're interested in joining!
