Physiotherapy Dunboyne – What does a physiotherapist do

At PMC Physiotherapy Dunboyne all our physios are members of the Irish Society of Chartered physiotherapists (ISCP). Our physiotherapy team is trained to assess your condition, diagnose the problem, and help you understand what’s wrong. We then create an individual treatment plan that will take into account your lifestyle, activities and general health.

Physiotherapy is a health profession focused on helping restore patient wellness following injury, pain or disability. As physiotherapists, we use evidence-based practice to develop, maintain or restore movement and functional ability throughout our patient’s recovery lifecycle.

Our goal is to relieve pain and treat or prevent physical conditions. As functional movement is central to what it means to lead a healthy life, our Dunboyne based physios help our patients where movement and function are impeded by illness, pain, ageing, injury, disability, disease or environmental factors.

Physios at the PMC Dunboyne clinic are chartered physiotherapists holding a university degree with hospital-based training and a comprehensive knowledge of how the body works. Our physios also have specialist training in the diagnosis and treatment of muscle and joint pain. We are trained to the highest academic and professional physiotherapy standards and continue to keep abreast of emerging trends through Continuous Professional Development.

Common treatment methods used by our physiotherapists include:

• exercise programs to improve mobility and strengthen muscles
• joint manipulation and mobilisation to reduce pain and stiffness
• muscle re-education to improve control
• airway clearance techniques and breathing exercises
• soft tissue mobilisation (massage)
• dry needling or acupuncture
• assistance with use of aids, splints, crutches and wheelchairs to aid mobility.

Our physiotherapists are passionate about all sports and we are involved in the local Dunboyne community and surrounding areas with various teams and organisations. We work equally hard to help our clients prevent injury as well as getting our patients back exercising quickly and safely.
