Physiotherapy Clinics Dublin South

We specialize in musculoskeletal pain with a particular interest in back/neck/shoulder/hip and pelvis. We guarantee a highly individualized approach resulting from and indepth and thorough assessment on your first visit. We also incorporate yoga and craniosacral therapy where appropriate. This applies particularly to conditions such as chronic pain and whiplash where the muscular and nervous systems tend to highly sensitized. We also use many traditional physiotherapy techniques including dry needling and myofascial release. 

Most knee problems are secondary to either issues at the hip or the foot. Therefore we will assess everything from the pelvis down if you present with a knee issue. We will work out an appropriate exercise programme to balance hips and feet and strengthen the knees, perhaps prescribe orthotics to align the feet and provide manual therapy if there are tight muscular structures preventing optimal movement. 

We teach Clinical Pilates based on sound scientific principles, ensuring a safe and effective experience. Suitable for those with back/neck pain or those wishing to improve their posture.

Hydrotherapy entails whole body exercises that take place in our state of the art 34°C warm water pool. The warm temperature of the water allows your muscles to relax and eases the pain and stiffness, making it easier to exercise. Hydrotherapy can relieve painful joints, increase the range of movement in your joints and improve your muscle strength. At Kiltipper Woods our hydrotherapy pool contains an underwater treadmill, resistance jets, and massage wand.The power resistance jets provide resistance for a range of motion exercises, improving the patient’s cardiovascular stamina. The wand offers patients the ability to massage and loosen muscles. The pool is easily accessible to suit all patients and can be accessed by patients in wheelchairs. It is also important to note that you do not have to be able to swim to benefit from aquatic therapy. All our hydrotherapy sessions are conducted by chartered physiotherapists who are highly trained and experienced in hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy sessions can take place in a group setting or on a one to one basis.At Kiltipper Woods we use a Swimex 1000-T hydrotherapy pool that is fully equipped with laminar water current technology which your therapist uses to optimise the intensity of your workout. The pool also utilises an integrated underwater treadmill in tandem with the water current technology and is the only pool of its kind in Ireland.Hydrotherapy is the safest and most progressive form of rehabilitation because it takes place in a gravity neutral environment, thus decreasing impact and trauma on weight bearing joints during rehabilitation. The simulated weightlessness allows treatment to begin earlier and more safely, thereby accelerating the healing process. Our hydrotherapy programmes are conducted by chartered physiotherapists, who are highly trained in hydrotherapy.
