Good Physiotherapist - Cork City

MissShihTzu

Hi

Looking for a decent physio to treat my constant back ache. Does anyone know of someone, preferably Northside, but OK to travel in the city?

TIA

Function physiotherapy.
Penrose Wharf.
Dirk Harm.

Imo the only physiotherapist that comes close is his wife Dearbhla who is on maternity leave.

Thanks - After posting, it occurred to me to check for previous recommendations, and I saw that you had already recommended them to someone else!

I'll give them a call now

Just saw this. I would hugely recommend Brian Fox, who is in at the back of Smyths Toys on the Kinsale Road. https://www.facebook.com/brianfoxphysio/ (021) 206 1844

None of that dry needling or other stuff. I had major problems with my arm and shoulder (having been to another physio for 6 months and got nowhere), and Brian got it back to where it was better than it had been in a decade. The only problem is he is so popular, my wife had a 10 day wait to get to see him.

Dry needling seems to be the latest craze indeed, a lot of physios and physical therapists are only chomping at the bit to stick a few needles into your muscles

I went to a particular physio 18 times before I found out about Brian....thankfully I had VHI to cover it, but it was a monumental waste of time, and unnecessarily prolonged the pain.

Had the same experience - 15 visits.......:eek (Fool here paid it!) There was zero contact between the doctor and the physio- if I hadn't returned to the doctor- I think that the physio would have brought me back indefinitely.
