You can book an appointment through our online booking system, or you can contact our Reception using the contact form below or ringing us on (061) 201444.

The first visit involves both an initial assessment of the condition and accompanying treatment.  The assessment involves taking a history, followed by a clinical examination.  A diagnosis will then be discussed leading on to the establishment of a treatment plan.  This plan includes a realistic estimate of the number and frequency of treatments you are likely to need, as well as outlining what you need to do in your own time to help speed up your progress.  Our focus is on reducing your pain and/or discomfort as soon as we can, and fully addressing the cause(s) so as to minimise the chances of recurrence or further problems down the line.

Loose comfortable clothing is usually best.  Depending on part of the body concerned, a pair of shorts and/or t-shirt may be appropriate.  You can change at our clinic.  We also have spare pairs of shorts available at our clinic should you require.

No, you do not need to be referred by a GP or consultant.  You can contact us directly for an appointment.

If you have been referred by a GP or consultant, please bring any referral letter / X-Ray / MRI scans / reports that you may have.

To optimise the recovery process, we will provide you with a personalised rehabilitation programme with appropriate exercises and information relating to the management of your specific condition.  We strongly recommend that you complete the exercises as prescribed; not only will this speed up your recovery but it will ultimately allow you to save upon your overall treatment costs.
