Physio
The clinical assessment comes first. The wider picture is never ignored.
Evidence-based assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for pain, injury, recovery and physical wellbeing.
Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing a musculoskeletal injury, experiencing dizziness, pelvic-floor concerns, occupational pain, reduced mobility or ongoing physical symptoms, treatment is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
I combine more than three decades of clinical experience with a practical and compassionate approach to restore movement, reduce pain and build confidence in your body's capacity to recover.
I offer one-hour sessions only.

Client Feedback
What people say after working together.
“Movement much improved, and my sense of wellbeing so much better. An amazing lady who takes a holistic approach as well as a direct one.”
M.Q., Galway — Physiotherapy “Ruth is the only physio to have had an impact on my particular injury. She digs deep to get to the root of the issue and dissolve it. I am pain free during the day and night.”
John Colohan, Galway — Physiotherapy “A well-planned programme tailored to my own specific needs. Improved balance, movement, and a better appreciation of handling my physio needs.”
J.H., Menlo, Galway — Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy
Buoyancy, warmth and graded resistance.
One-to-one hydrotherapy can support people living with arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, reduced mobility, neurological conditions, fatigue or weakness; those returning to movement after surgery or prolonged inactivity; and those who need the buoyancy, warmth and graded resistance of water to move with more confidence.
A pre-pool assessment is completed before entering the water so the session can be tailored safely to your needs. Sessions run at NRG Clybaun or Leisureland.
Professional Scope
As a Chartered Physiotherapist, I assess and identify musculoskeletal, movement and functional issues within my professional scope of practice. Where assessment suggests further medical investigation or another form of specialist care, I will discuss this openly and recommend appropriate referral.
