Physiotherapy

We provide the Gold Standard of physiotherapy treatment in Northern Ireland from assessment and providing an accurate diagnosis, to treatment and rehabilitation.

We don't do old school physio, we don't use hocus pocus machines and we don't do excuses.

We're proud to be different, and we'd love you to experience us to see why.

Our physiotherapy team is headed by Rebecca Nelson, a Spinal Physiotherapy Specialist. All of our physiotherapists are Manual Therapy Specialists, which means that we use a "hands on" physiotherapy approach, using our hands to clear your pain and get you better.

Manual Therapy treatments describe a broad range of treatments, including but not limited to mobilising or manipulating joints, mobilising or massaging soft tissues using various painless techniques and techniques addressed at moving nerve tissue for nerve pain. Spinal traction may to be added to compliment manual techniques if appropriate.

All of our team have had extensive post graduate training in this specialist field of Manual Therapy, which originated in Australia and New Zealand. Once your pain has gone or considerably reduced, the key to fixing the underlying cause and achieving a long term solution, is specific exercises to correct posture and rehabilitate muscle function, to help you to move better and return to all your previous activities or sport.

Throughout the course of treatment we liaise with our colleagues when appropriate - podiatrists, chiropodists, personal trainers, strength and conditioning coaches and massage therapists who are only a few steps away, so that we work together to achieve the best outcome for our clients.

We don't do old school physio, we don't use hocus pocus machines and we don't do excuses.

We also have a network of top consultants and imagers who we work with and can organise an appointment with them at the click of a finger, if needed. Our high success rate explains why 10% of our clients travel from far and wide to see us, from Dublin, Sligo, Co.Kildare to Donegal. We pride ourselves in making this their last stop in fixing their problem.

At Apex Clinic we treat the non-sports person right through to sports injuries in the elite athlete. We treat clients of all ages from children of 3 years old to elderly folk. We treat long-term pain to the most recent injuries.

What Makes Our Physiotherapy Team Different to Other Clinics?

Our unique selling points are-

• Every physio in Apex Clinic has undertaken extensive post-graduate training before they start in the clinic in the physio treatment of spinal problems, nerve pain anywhere in the body, headaches, growing pains and shin splints in the non sports person right through to the elite athlete. This training was taken by a leading expert in this field, Rebecca Nelson who developed the physio treatments initially from New Zealand and then herself, from her wealth of more than 20 years of experience of treating patients.
• As well as our physios having the above training, we also embrace and enhance every physio's existing skills in the treatment of all other injuries and their vast experience in the treatment of sports injuries from their years of involvement in different sports.
• We reckon that we see the highest proportion of clients with spinal problems, nerve pain, headaches, growing pains and shin splints than any other clinic, due to our reputation of having such a high success rate.
