What does a session entail?
An initial session will include a thorough history take, followed by an assessment comprising of movement patterns and orthopedic tests. It is advisable to bring a list of your current medications. If treatment is indicated, the treatment will be explained to you and your consent to proceed will be obtained. Treatment can include guided exercise prescription, massage therapies, range of motion exercises and joint manipulation among other modalities.
How much do treatments cost?
Standard one-hour sessions cost €55.00. Treatments costs may be redeemable from your health insurer. The option to pay by card is available.
Are treatments cost covered by my Health Insurance?
Treatment costs are part redeemable by all major health insurers. Rates will depend on your insurance plan so it is advisable to check cover with your insurer. If you do not have private health insurance, treatment costs are also partially redeemable through the ‘MED1’ form available on The Revenue website, www.revenue.ie. Treatments are also covered under the Garda Medical Scheme and ESB Medical.
How many sessions will I need?
As little as possible! The aim of the session is to equip you with knowledge and take-home tools to manage your injury. The reality with most musculoskeletal injuries is that 90% of the work that needs to be done is to be done by the patient outside of the clinical environment. Everyone is different and some injuries including some sports injuries/post-op or chronic recurring injuries may need more clinic time than more straight forward injuries.
What do I wear?
Wear what you are comfortable in. Non restrictive clothing which allows access to assess and treat is ideal. If you have a lower body injury shorts are fine, if you have an upper body injury a vest top for women is perfect. Sports bras that do not open at the back are not suitable.
