Having returned from working abroad in 2015 Alan Doyle and his cousin Robert decided to set up a modern and cutting edge chartered Physiotherapy service in Portmarnock.

This is to ensure that our treatments are scientifically proven to have effect and up to date with modern practices. We create individualised rehabilitation protocols for each client, taking into account their physical abilities, their access to rehabilitation facilities and their lifestyle.

We also specialise in the rehabilitation of orthopaedic procedures, including total joint replacements and joint reconstructions. Our therapists have vast experience in treating a wide variety of orthopaedic procedures. Our therapists have worked in busy Orthopaedic wards in both Australia and the UK. We work closely with your orthopaedic consultant and follow their specific rehabilitation protocol. We provide regular feedback to your consultant to ensure that you are on-track to a fast effective recovery.

We can provide you with a 45 minute massage treatment as a means to prepare or recover from a sporting event, or simply as a means to relax and recharge the batteries. Our therapists have vast experience in performing soft tissue treatments.
