Progress You Can Feel
Recovery isn't measured in appointments.
It's measured in getting back to work or study.
Running again.
Sleeping better.
Performing with confidence.
Living well.

Evidence with Experience
Great physiotherapy looks at recovery from every angle. Research guides every decision, but treatment is always adapted to the person in front of us. We do not just follow the research, we help produce it.

Individual Care
No two people recover the same way.
Every assessment starts by understanding your goals, not just your symptoms.

Recovery is not just about reducing pain. It is about understanding you, the history of your body, how you operate best, the areas you need support with, building confidence and helping you return to the activities that matter most.

Reviews
What people say about us
"Cliona is an expert and I would recommend her services to anyone needing physiotherapy and detailed clinical assessment. She recommended the fastest way to get a surgical assessment to repair my ruptured biceps tendon and muscle. Without Cliona's expert advice and assessment, the short window for repairing my tendon would have passed. I am eternally grateful for the advice and the injury recovered fully after surgery."

"I prolapsed a disc in my upper back with compressed nerves in my neck. I could hardly move my arm, shoulder and the apin and the fear was intense. As a yoga teacher my physical health is everything and I've always been strong, mobile, positive and able... this was new territory. I went to see the GP, 2 osteopaths, a different physio, had acupuncture, and was realigned several times and honestly nothing touched the sides.
Cliona and I crossed paths many years ago in pregnancy yoga and we've stayed in touch. I told Cliona what had been going on and she talked to me on the phone explaining the full cycle of injury to recovery, the cycle of inflammation and she reassured me that I would be ok. When I lay on her bed she did the most incredible physio treatment I have ever experienced.
Cliona guided me with so much tenderness, knowledge and wisdom and that combination was the medicine I needed. Two days after seeing her and I am so much better, tensions that had protected me dissolving, gently mobility coming and we are working together for my 'ascent' to full recovery. Thank you Cliona for your healing hands and boundless generosity and care."
