I sought a physical therapist as I had a severe injury to my neck. I luckily found Leona. She did an amazing job of relieving the pain and discomfort and had me back functioning again. 
I continued to see her for maintenance and then injured my knee.  I of course saw Leona for the problem at first I resisted the exercises and stretches she recommended and the injury reoccurred however when I did everything I was asked of by Leona I am now injury free and able to exercise. I still continue to see her for maintenance and always feel rejuvenated after her sessions.”

"Having played, coached and managed with club and county for over 30 years I fully understand the importance of proper injury assessment and treatment.
Also to have proper pre/post recovery massage is essential for improved performance.
I’ve been fortunate to have worked with some really good physios and physical therapists in this time but more recently I’ve worked closely with Leona.
Her immediate knowledge,interest and passion for her work has been the biggest reasons why I would recommend players,teammates and most recently fellow triathletes to attend her with any injury concerns.
She also shows great interest,knowledge and keen to advise on diet and nutrition for everyday living or sports performance improvement.”

“Coming from a history of running related injuries I was determined to prevent further injuries occurring. Leona had been highly recommended to me as a good physical therapist and I booked an appointment with her immediately.

Over a number of months Leona has work through my muscle groups, her physical therapy sessions are intense and very thorough. She has also recommended specific exercises to help strengthen weaker muscles. I receive physical therapy with Leona regularly but particularly pre and post race which is extremely important for race preparation and recovery.

Leona is passionate about the science of physical therapy and it shows in her keen interest in her client’s well being.
I put my injury free race season down to regular physical sessions with her and I have recommended a number of my club training buddies to her.”

I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet in October 2014. This is often considered a runner or athlete’s condition and whilst not an avid runner I do love walking and going to the gym. As a busy mum of three I'm also on my feet and on the go constantly so to be struck with crippling pain in my heels, unable to put my foot to the floor without considerable discomfort made my normal daily tasks a struggle. My daily 5km walks became a thing of the past and my gym workouts were greatly curtailed. I had a cortisone injection into both heels with minimal improvement and my consultant recommended a course of physical therapy to tackle my ailment.


Over the past year through a regular regime of physical therapy with Leona I am thrilled to say that my condition is mainly cured. There was not going to be a quick fix to the problem but Leona's expertise and dedication to resolving the problem, through her in-depth knowledge of my condition and her willingness to use a combination cryotherapy, kinesiology taping and acupuncture has gotten be quite literally back on my feet!

As part of my treatment plan custom shoe orthotics were also prescribed for me. As Leona is an approved supplier of Langer laser cut orthotics I was able to order them directly with her and within two weeks of Leona sending the custom cast I received my high quality orthotics which fit comfortably into most of my shoes/boots.

With Summer 2015 looming I was worried that all the hard work and therapy I had completed would be undone if I reverted to wearing flimsy summer footwear without my trusted orthotics. Whilst it might seem indulgent, I bought a pair of custom made fashionable orthotic flip flops. These have been a summer life saver on keeping my recovery on track without having to compromise on fashion.

As Leona is also a register approved practitioner with VHI I have also had the added benefit of being able to offset some of my expenses against my current VHI plan making my treatment more affordable.

If you are looking a physical therapist with knowledge, skill and dedication to her clients than look no further than Leona Bermingham, Irish Physical Therapy Centre.
