MRI reports can sound alarming.
But many “degenerative” findings are simply normal ageing changes seen in people without pain.

Context matters more than scans.

No every road to recovery is the same!

This individual has been working hard in the gym in order to strengthen his quads post ACL surgery but he is progressing at a slower rate than he’d like. We are working really hard to get his full knee extension back before progressing his rehab. As you might notice he has an additional scar on the outside of his knee. As it was his second time rupturing his ACL his surgeon opted for a LET procedure to improve stability and reduce the chance or re-rupture.

Keep an eye on the page to see his recovery journey!

1. Are you a registered physio?
Yes, we are all registered physiotherapists. You can check the register at https://www.iscp.ie/find-a-physio

2. Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No, you do not.

3. Does insurance cover physiotherapy?
It should. Every policy is different but on a whole most insurance policies allow a certain number of physiotherapy sessions.

4. How many sessions are required?
We don’t prescribe a certain number of sessions. We will assess and diagnose you in the first session and guide you in relation to time frames for recovery. Everyone is different. Some people need just the one physio session, others will need a few.

5. What should I wear?
If it is your arm/ shoulder/ mid back a string top is perfect. Sports bras can have awkward straps so they aren’t advisable. If it is your lower back/ legs we ask you to please bring shorts.

6. Is physiotherapy painful?
It can be - but it is temporary for long term relief!

7. How do I book an appointment?
Ring: 065 686 4000
Email: info@excelphysio.ie
Dm us on instagram

8. Do you have late evenings / Saturdays?
We do, however, these appointments book up extremely fast. We are lucky enough to have 9 physios with us so we will hopefully be able to accommodate you.

9. Can you refer for a scan?
Yes, we can refer you for an MRI should it be necessary, (Provided you’re not with VHI - for now they require a GP referral).

10. How much does it cost?
Physio sessions are €60.

Shockwave, alternatively known as Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy (ESWT), a non-invasive treatment using sound waves to address musculoskeletal conditions.

It delivers focused high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area stimulating the body’s natural healing processes to reduce pain, improve blood flow and break down scar tissue and calcification. ESWT is used for various conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow etc. ESWT has shown promise in treating conditions that have not responded well to other treatments.

We are lucky enough to be one of the few clinics in Clare to have a shockwave machine and use it daily to facilitate treatment.
