Read MoreAfter many years’ experience I have developed a precise approach to diagnosis and treatment. The first step to solve any problem is to understand it. In a consultation I listen to how you feel and how a problem is affecting your life. A full assessment then leads to an understanding of the problem, combining my extensive experience with your knowledge of the problem. It is empowering to understand what is going on when a diagnosis is explained really well. A specific treatment plan is then explained to suit you. The aim is to help the body to heal itself and for you to feel well and be able to do the activities you enjoy.
Your safety is the absolute priority. While the situation is much improved, COVID-19 safety protocols continue in healthcare.
Facemasks are still worn at all times in the treatment room. The treatment room is also ventilated between each client and weather permitting during consultations.
I used to welcome people dropping in to the clinic with enquiries, but unfortunately this is not now possible. Clinic visits can now be by appointment only. Enquiries are welcome, now by phone, email or the contact form on this website. We look forward to helping you.
March 2023 update:
The clinic is open by appointment only. I am booked up for new consultations probably to the end of April (although we would expect sooner with cancellations) - we are keeping a cancellation list and offering earlier appointments as they become availabile. We are doing our best to facilitate existing and new clients.
The appropriate safety protocols are well established and still carefully observed.
Adapting to COVID has reduced capacity, so please bear with us if an appointment is not immediately available.
Just email or phone to make an appointment or to find out more.
Video Consultations continue as an option.
While these were useful during the pandemic, in-clinic appointments are now preferred. It has been enjoyable to have consultations with clients from locations only made possible by video - Madrid, Cork, Wicklow ...and even the southside of Dublin!

I had a video consultation with Mark for a new wrist problem for which I had been unable to see my GP about. Mark guided me through an in-depth assessment of my issue, and was as thorough and knowledgable as ever...

Mark is a fantastic physiotherapist. I pulled a neck muscle in the morning and even though he was booked up for weeks, he heard how much pain I was in and fit me in during the lunch hour....

B.Sc. (Hons) (Physio), Lic.Ac.MISCP MCSP
I am a Chartered Physiotherapist and Acupuncture Licenciate of 25 years' experience. I graduated from the University of Ulster with a degree in Physiotherapy in 1995. In 1998 I graduated from the British College of Acupuncture with a Licenciate Diploma in Acupuncture. I graduated in 1989 from National University of Ireland (NUI), University College Dublin with a degree in Chemistry and following this worked for two years as a Research Chemist before returning to study Physiotherapy and Acupuncture.
After qualifying as a physiotherapist in 1995, I initially worked in large hospitals in Ireland and Australia. I gained extensive experience in musculoskeletal, neck, back, spinal problems, chronic pain management, rehabilitation and health promotion. Many younger years spent practicing and teaching Martial Arts gave a foundation for a lifelong interest in Sports Injury and Post-Operative rehabilitation.
I enjoy music and play guitar, and this gives me an insight to a specialisation in treating injuries and problems affecting performance for musicians of all instruments.
I have integrated acupuncture into physiotherapy practice over the last 25 years. This is an area I have lectured on extensively to physiotherapists and GPs, including the Higher Diploma in Acupuncture postgraduate programme in UCD.
In 2000 I established my private practice in Manor Street, Stoneybatter, and worked there for 20 years before relocating. The clinic has now moved to a lovely treatment room in the Bodyfirm Pilates Studio, Park Shopping Centre, 33 Prussia Street, Dublin 7.
I have a wonderful wife (who wrote this), 3 kids and a cat.
