Chartered physiotherapy in the middle of Kilkenny. An hour with one physiotherapist, hands–on work paired with exercise, and a clear plan for what you do between visits. No packages you have to finish. You’re discharged when you’re fit.
Pick what fits closest. Each option pre–fills your booking request so we can put you with the clinician who sees your issue most weeks — you don’t end up explaining the same history twice.
Most of what patients tell us they wanted from a physio in the past — time, continuity, honesty — sits in the three blocks below. None of it is clever. It’s just how the practice has always been run.
First appointment is sixty minutes, follow–ups are forty–five. You get the full time with the physiotherapist — no shared treatment rooms, no handing you off to an assistant for the exercise half. One patient, one clinician, one hour.
Manual therapy alone wears off. Exercise alone without guidance often re–injures. Every session pairs the two — hands–on work to settle tissue, then a small set of exercises (two or three, not twenty) that you actually do between visits.
No block–of–six or block–of–ten packages. You come back for the sessions you need and stop when the issue is resolved. Most people finish in three to five visits. If you need only one, you pay for only one.
You’re seen by the same physio from first visit to discharge. Both are members of the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists (MISCP) and registered with CORU, the state regulator.
Founded the practice in 2016 after eight years in hospital outpatients and county GAA rooms. Special interest in sports injury and post–op ACL rehab; still covers Kilkenny county panels at championship level. Sees most of the knee, shoulder and running–injury caseload.
Joined in 2019 from Holles Street. Postgraduate MSc in Women’s Health from RCSI — pelvic health, pregnancy–related back and pelvic girdle pain, post–natal return to running, and mastitis management. Ciara sees most of the pelvic health and pregnancy caseload.
Most weeks one of us is on the line somewhere in south Leinster. These are the clubs we hold a standing arrangement with — match cover, pre–season screens, and first–port–of–call rehab for anything that picks up through the season.
Pitch–side match cover is billed flat per event. Pre–season team screens and in–season injury management for panel players are arranged directly with the club secretary.
Pay per session. We issue a full Med 1 receipt on the day — most of what you spend here is tax–deductible against your PAYE. Insured? Skip past to the next section.
We’re an approved physiotherapy provider for VHI, Laya Healthcare, Irish Life Health and GloHealth — which covers the large majority of Irish private medical policies. Bring your policy number on the first visit; we’ll submit the claim for you.
Uninsured? A Med 1 receipt is issued the day of every appointment. Twenty per cent of your physiotherapy spend comes back through the year–end tax return.
