    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 :D

    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.
