Physiotherapy is heavily reliant on evidence-based research. Our physiotherapists use their knowledge and skills to improve a range of conditions associated with different systems of the body, such as:
Dervla graduated from the University of Ulster, Jordanstown, Ireland in 2007. She has a friendly and motivating personality with a passion for working within the musculoskeletal setting and working with clients to achieve their treatment goals using hands on treatment and exercise prescription to help prevent reoccurrence.
Dervla is on maternity leave and is currently unavailable for appointments.
For Harry, there’s nothing more rewarding than helping a patient improve their mobility, movement or manage an injury. Often working as part of multi-modality team, he treats a broad range of musculoskeletal injuries and aggravations, and is always aiming to improve the quality of movement.
Lauren became a physiotherapist because she is passionate about being able to positively contribute to others in a personal and clinical sense. She enjoys her role in helping patients return to previous functional abilities and everyday life without pain, by being both a clinical problem-solver and an empathetic listener.
Jonathan’s background in sports and being active growing up made his transition into his career of physiotherapy a natural choice. Having been an elite runner and learning to cope with his own injuries has given Jonathan a deeper understanding and appreciation for what his patients are often going through. His friendly, reliable and hard-working ethic combined with his passion for physiotherapy ensures Jonathan offers first class care for his patients.
Don is passionate about being able to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Don thrives on helping patients return to work, sport or normal daily activities, free of pain and with improved function.
Physiotherapy patients participate in a complete system of assessment and treatment, which aims at treating all of the different aspects of the condition. Physiotherapists utilise broad varying techniques, which depend on the individual’s requirements. The overall goal is to resolve symptoms, retrain altered movement patterns, and prevent recurrence. Your treatment program will take into account the nature of your condition and your own personal commitments to provide you with the best possible outcome.
Initial Consultations
Your first visit for any new problem will be a comprehensive consultation. We cater for extra time, if needed, to fully assess your condition and ensure you receive the most effective treatment possible. If you haven’t seen a Physiotherapist at our Practice before, it would be appreciated that you arrive ten minutes prior to your appointment to fill in a new patient form.
Each comprehensive consultation consists of a detailed discussion regarding your symptoms, assessment of different movements (which may require some degree of undressing), and some specific tests. Once a diagnosis has been reached, treatment options will be discussed and carried out – keep in mind that you are a key player in the management of your condition.
Standard Consultations
Standard follow-up appointments with your physiotherapist include discussion on progress since the previous appointment and reassessment of problematic movements or positions before treatment continues.
At Tyack Health the physiotherapists are here to assist in complete recovery from your musculo-skeletal condition. We believe that your care continues after you have left your appointment – you are a valued patient and will continue to be nurtured back to full health. This is why follow up appointments are sometimes recommended – so that the job isn’t left half-done!
As a patient of Tyack Health Centre’s Physiotherapy Department, you are invited to phone and speak directly with your practitioner concerning exacerbations of pain, difficulty with exercises and any other treatment-related questions you may have. If the physiotherapist is unable to attend your call, all efforts will be made to contact you as soon as possible.
