What People Are Saying

“I’m a regular attender of the Ballsbridge Physio Stronger for Longer classes for several years, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thankfully we’ve recently moved from from zoom to room and it feels great - and very safe too!”

— Karen

“Attending physio here has impacted my quality of life significantly. I am in my early twenties and broke my tailbone when I was younger. I had severe pain in my pelvic floor and in my upper back which affected my ability to sleep, walk, and get through the day. Aileen has managed to completely remove any pain and tension from my pelvic floor and my upper back. My flexibility has improved massively and I can finally sleep the whole way through the night! There's nothing I can't do anymore and the relief is immense both physically and mentally. Thanks for everything”

— Ella

“I honestly could not find the words to share how highly I rate Aileen as a  Physiotherapist. Whether its from her Pilates classes, one to one treatment for my continuous back problem or speaking to our recent virtual work Conference. Fantastic care and Thank you!”

— W.M

“TMJ pain is very debilitating. Living with constant jaw pain is exhausting.  Thankfully after three sessions with Emily in Ballsbridge Physiotherapy I am now pain free with full range of jaw movement. I am very grateful to have had the expertise and the hands on treatment from my physiotherapist.
Thank you for new lease of life.”

“Tasked with organising our Virtual Work Conference mid Lockdown, I asked Aileen to speak to us on what was initially just the importance of posture and exercise whilst remote working. Aileen’s contribution along with her colleague Patricia during the conference went above and beyond this and tapped into a real need from colleagues for guidance with Mindfulness to cope with the pitfalls of remote working.”

— Aoife

“I attended Aileen for physiotherapy for a fissure and overly tight muscles in my pelvic floor, which meant that I was experiencing a lot of pain while emptying my bowels, because my muscles went into spasm every time. This resulted in me developing constipation, which made everything more painful. I also experienced discomfort while sitting for long periods of time due to the fissure. The treatment, exercises and recommendations I received from Aileen were very helpful in enabling the release of my spasming muscles, which in turn gave the fissure time to heal. My muscles have developed more strength and flexibility on account of physiotherapy, targeted exercises, and making adjustments to the way I sit while at work. Change is gradual, so it is important to follow the programme Aileen puts in place. I have experienced tearing a couple of times since completing treatment, however, the fissure has healed quickly each time, as my muscles no longer go into spasm. I had no idea this form of specialist physiotherapy existed until Aileen was recommended to me by a consultant colorectal surgeon”

“I recently attended treatment with David Richards in Ballsbridge Physiotherapy Clinic. Part of my treatment involved a running gait analysis which identified inefficiencies in my running style which needed to be corrected to avoid a repetition of my injury. With David’s reassurance and through a combination of localised therapy, gait and posture awareness I was put on a graduated running programme which was tracked on video and emailed to me after each session. The result is that I have now adapted a more efficient running style, reduced my injury risk and more than ever I am enjoying my running again! I would highly recommend Ballsbridge Physiotherapy Clinic to my fellow runners.”

“I’ve moved to Dublin 6 weeks after a foot surgery. I’ve been seen by Elizabeth (mostly) and Aileen. I recommend them for anyone recovering from a surgery or dealing with lower back pain.”

— Tayla

“Thrilled to be back to live lessons. Elizabeth is a terrific trainer, and keeps us all on our toes!”

— Margaret
