Are you suffering from chronic or recurring pain?

Have you struggled to get to the bottom of what's really causing it so you can address it once and for all?

Chronic or recurring pain symptoms can have many causes, and often these are not as obvious as you think: Your back pain could well be the result of a weak ankle and your shoulder pain the result of a stiff upper back. Treating the root cause rather than the symptoms is key to lasting relief.

This FREE guide includes:

✅ 4 practical evidence-based tips guaranteed to reduce your pain & improve confidence
✅ Why focussing on the area of pain is the most common mistake
✅ Why "Perfect Posture" may make pain worse
✅ Why rest & medication are not always the best

Your Pelvic Floor Matters – For Everyone!

When we think of fitness, we talk about core strength, posture, or flexibility… but what about the foundation that holds it all together?

Your pelvic floor plays a vital role in:
- Supporting your bladder, bowel & (for women) uterus
- Core stability & posture
- Bladder and bowel control
- Sexual function & confidence

Pelvic floor health isn’t just a women’s issue.
-Men can experience leakage, pain, or weakness—especially after prostate surgery or as they age.
-Women may notice changes after childbirth, during menopause, or with high-impact exercise.

✨ Tips for a healthy pelvic floor:
1️⃣ Learn to both contract and relax the muscles.
2️⃣ Avoid straining or “clenching all day.”
3️⃣ Keep moving – your pelvic floor loves good posture & breathwork.
4️⃣ Don’t wait for symptoms – prevention is powerful!

Just like a any muscle, a weak pelvic floor can be strengthen by exercise, breathwork and with the non invasive EMS Pelvic Floor Chair Call us for a free consultation to find out how we can help.

Thank you Niamh for the great review!

Since introducing the EMS Pelvic Floor Chair along with a tailored Pelvic Floor protocol to our clients in Fermoy earlier this year, we have already seen many patients significantly improve their pelvic floor function and reduce associated symptoms.

The pelvic floor chair is non invasive treatment, that along with tailored Physio advice can benefit both male and female clients who experience
• Stress urinary incontinence (leaks when coughing/sneezing)
• Post-natal pelvic weakness (regain strength)

The most important thing for everybody coming through our doors over the last fifteen years in business is PAIN RELIEF. Naturally, pain relief is great and nobody deserves to be living in pain. However this is only the first part of the journey.

The thousands of people that we have treated have all thought that pain relief is the end goal of physiotherapy and then their problem will be solved for ever. There are many more benefits to physiotherapy at APC.

Our treatment approach is one that will identify exactly the reasons why you are experiencing persistent pain or limited movements that just does not improve. Many people just treat the pain and then stop physiotherapy treatments. Their problem is very likely to come back because they didn’t address or commit to correcting the underlying weakness, imbalance, lack of control or whatever it is. Essentially they are dousing the fire but not rebuilding the scaffold.
