For years I’d been told I needed physio for my back. For years I never did anything about it until my back did not just feel knotted, but felt like it had been tied into several figure eights. I sought help at City Physio and from my first treatment with their new Physiotherapist, Johnny Loughrey, I could instantly feel positive change. With the skilled use of dry needling, massage and personalised stretching techniques, I have only had three treatments and I already feel amazing. It feels like my back is smiling!

Recently I desperately needed the services of a Physiotherapist – upper back tight and very painful with referred pain up into the neck area – a recurring problem due to slight scoliosis and a sedentary job. Rather than spend weeks of repeat visits using traditional methods (something I have experienced with other practitioners), Linda suggested an alternative approach…trigger point dry needle therapy…now I am not a fan of needles of any type but without any pressure from Linda, I agreed to try it out in two areas. The only discomfort was very minor and only occurred when the particular trigger point was activated – a good sign. All up I only needed to see Linda for four treatment sessions, including some traditional physiotherapy - two weeks later I am no longer in pain and can confidently recommend Linda’s services and dry needle therapy as an alternative in combination with traditional physiotherapy.

For us, visiting Linda has been a real family affair. From children with sports injuries and repetitive strain from playing musical instruments. To back and neck tightness due to work related posture and gardening “injuries”. We all lead active lives and we all have inbuilt posture imperfections plus bad habits as far as looking after the way we use our bodies. That’s where Linda has been so informative and helpful guiding us towards better practice and sorting out our muscles when we get lazy or forget to take proper care with the way we move.
