Treatment Areas

ABBEY PHYSIO provides a wide range of physiotherapy services in our purpose built city centre facility which is wheel chair accessible and offers free parking. Additionally we provide a Home Call Physio Bank service where we can call to your home and provide treatment.

All physiotherapists retained by ABBEY PHYSIO are members of the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists ( ISCP ) and are part of an ongoing training and mentoring program which assures that our staff are fully trained and compliant at all times.

What does this mean for you, your GP practice patients or Nursing Home residents?

Physiotherapists can only use the word Chartered in their titles when they are members of the ISCP. This body only accepts people with an approved university education and hospital-based training.  Chartered Physiotherapists have a comprehensive medical training, which enables them to treat a wide range of problems . They are trained to diagnose the injury, treat the problem and assist the patient to achieve optimal function. HSE only recognises MISCP Chartered Physiotherapists as qualified to treat patients. BEWARE!! At present there is no law preventing anyone from practising as a “physio”, even if they have no professionally recognised physiotherapy or physical therapy training.
