Treatments We Offer
At Leixlip Physiotherapy Clinic, our treatments are hands-on, evidence-based, and tailored to the individual. We focus on understanding the root cause of your problem before recommending the most appropriate combination of techniques.
Problem Diagnosis
Getting a correct assessment of your problem is the essential first step in correcting and resolving it. Our therapists are trained in diagnosing neuromusculoskeletal problems – muscles, joints, cartilage, bones, ligaments, and nerves. If your problem is something we cannot address, we will identify this and refer you to the appropriate medical professional.
Hands-On Treatment
Mobilisation, manipulation, stretching, and soft tissue release. Manual therapy is at the core of what we do.
Exercise Prescription
Core training (Pilates-style), postural retraining, stretching, and strength training.
Working your body to build its strength and tolerance is one of the most important ways to progress rehabilitation. Nobody leaves the clinic without exercises to do at home.
Dry Needling
For muscle pain and tightness. See our dry needling page for more information.
Optineck Treatment
We use Optineck wedges to treat upper back, neck and shoulder pain. They allow us to counteract the postural forces that often affect these areas. They are a great tool as well for home management.
Custom Orthotics
Custom-made orthotics, with a full biomechanical assessment for low back and lower limb problems.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Treatment for dizziness and vertigo, including BPPV and the Epley manoeuvre.
Chronic Pain / Persistent Pain
Rehabilitation and education, using a bio-psycho-social approach to treating long-term pain. These sessions usually take a little more time.
Electrotherapy
Available when needed: TENS, interferential, ultrasound and laser, traction.
