Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service addresses musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and post-operative rehabilitation through comprehensive assessments and tailored treatment plans. Using manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education, we help individuals regain mobility and function. Treatments focus on long-term recovery by addressing root causes rather than symptoms alone.
Massage Therapy
Complementary massage therapy targets muscle tension, improves circulation, and aids recovery from sports injuries or repetitive strain. Our therapists use deep tissue techniques and sports massage protocols to enhance physical performance and accelerate healing alongside physiotherapy treatments.
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Specialist pelvic health physiotherapy manages urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and post-natal recovery. Treatment includes biofeedback, muscle retraining, and lifestyle advice to improve quality of life for both men and women experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction.
Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy treats chronic tendon injuries and calcifications using acoustic waves to stimulate healing. This non-invasive treatment accelerates recovery for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and calcific shoulder tendinitis while reducing pain and inflammation.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture integrates traditional Chinese medicine with modern physiotherapy to manage pain and inflammation. Fine needles stimulate specific points to release endorphins, improve circulation, and complement musculoskeletal rehabilitation programmes for back pain, headaches, and joint conditions.

Report
My recent experience with regard to my treatment is for plantar fasciitis. The format , as it starts is an in depth consultation, as always, which is a very professional!. Over many years Ive had to use the services of several professional individuals based at the business. I can without any hesitation, recommend their services to anyone. A varied choice of exercises is usually given to a patient, depending on their condition. A combination of therapies is given over a set time period to treat conditions. Care and attention to a patients needs is of paramount importance to the clinicians. Time

Report
I was having severe knee pain due to arthritis, my GP referred me to Ashbourne Physio and Injury Clinic as there is no chance of getting any other treatment on it. I can only say the treatment I have received was absolutely excellent. Lisa carried out a full assessment, some ultrasound treatment along with some exercises, the improvement was immense and extremely welcome pain relief. Highly recommended.

Lisa has been a fantastic help to me over the past year or so, firstly with pain related to a longstanding neck injury and more recently with arthritis in my feet and hands. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and is so warm and friendly too! It is wonderful to be pain-free and I can't thank her enough.
