Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year! We will be closed from tomorrow lunchtime until Tuesday morning. We will continue to follow government guidelines to best protect the public as well as our staff.
Our staff are required to wear FFP2 masks and aprons at all times in contact with clients
Our clients are required to wear a disposable surgical mask, not a cloth mask as these are reported to be less effective against the Omicron variant
Masks are mandatory prior to entry and must be worn at all times on the premises
We thank you in advance for your cooperation and hope you have a safe and healthy new year

Happy Christmas everyone! We are closed from 1pm today and back open on 29th Dec. New guidelines need to be followed for anyone entering into the country. A negative PCR is required prior to travelling plus 5 negative antigen tests on 5 consecutive days from the date of arrival. Apologies but we will now be asking people if they recently arrived into the country as these requirements need to be met to access healthcare

Covid-19 update:

After much discussion we have decided to stay OPEN for the foreseeable future, and are working by HSE guidelines. The health of our staff and clients is of utmost importance to us and we are taking the following precautions:
- Limiting the amount of physios in the clinic at any one time
- Cleaning and disinfecting all equipment
- Using couch roll instead of towels on the beds.
- We have also taken away pillows
- Changing appointment times to limit interaction between clients
- We have taken away our waiting area so are asking clients not to show up before their allotted time
Please do not hesitate to call if you have any concerns. If you have been to an affected area, had contact with a diagnosed case, or are showing signs of an upper respiratory infection, please call us to reschedule.
Stay safe everyone
