I began going to DC Physiotherapy at the end of last year. I had been diagnosed with 2 bulging disks and L4/L5 and L5/S1 and sciatica in my left leg. My doctor had advised me to consider an epidural injection to alleviate the pain and discomfort which I was hesitant to do given I am 25 and it would not solve the root cause. The first physio clinic I went to prior to DC had not given me any strength based exercises and just stretches and advised me to stop playing five aside football. Over time with the first clinic my symptoms got worse and worse. Then I decided to go to DC physiotherapy where I first met with Robbie who began introducing me to strength based exercises to build the muscles in my back and help fix the issue at the foundation. This was a long process but through the guidance we began seeing positive improvements. Then I began working with Aonghus on decompression, laser along with the gym strength based exercises. I have undergone 14 sessions and my symptoms have drastically improved and I have began increasing more reps and weight I utilise in the rehab programme. My sciatica symptoms have also improved. I also anticipate to be back playing football again soon. Working with Aonghus has massively improved my injury and quality of life as I was not expecting to have made the progress that I have made. It is important to note that you must follow the Exercise/rehab programme provided as this is what will support the back recovering alongside the decompression and this will also provide you a clear vision of your progress. I have and will continue to recommend DC physiotherapy and Aonghus to anybody who suffers with back issues as they are very knowledgeable and have been able to answer any question I’ve had.

I can highly recommend the team at DC Physiotherapy Clondalkin, especially Aonghus who has been looking after my treatment there. The spinal decompression sessions have been helping hugely to relieve pain and also to allow me to rebuild strength in my back. Aonghus takes time to explain what's happening which eased my nervousness about the sessions. Well worth checking out if back pain is limiting your movement and your life.

I’ve been attending DC Physiotherapy in Clondalkin for the past 10 sessions with Aonghus and Gary, and I genuinely can’t speak highly enough about the care and professionalism I received throughout the entire process.From my very first appointment, both Aonghus and Gary made me feel completely welcome and at ease. They took the time to properly listen to what I was experiencing, explained everything clearly, and made sure I understood the reasoning behind each stage of the treatment plan. That level of communication and reassurance made a huge difference, especially at the beginning when I was unsure about what treatment would involve.My treatment included spinal decompression therapy, massage therapy, and laser therapy, and every part of the process was explained clearly and professionally. What really stood out was how personalised each session was. Rather than following the exact same routine every time, they paid close attention to how my body was responding as the treatment progressed and adjusted things accordingly. They monitored changes in pain levels, mobility, movement, and overall recovery throughout the 10 sessions, which made the treatment feel very focused and tailored to me personally.The spinal decompression treatment in particular was something they guided me through carefully from start to finish. They explained how it worked, what the goals were, and what improvements to look out for over time. Combined with the massage and laser therapy, I could genuinely feel the difference as the weeks went on. Even small improvements were noticed and discussed, and they always made sure I was comfortable and informed during every appointment.What stood out most to me was the level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout the entire experience. You could tell they genuinely cared about helping me improve long term rather than just providing temporary relief.Over the course of the 10 sessions, I noticed a massive improvement in both my pain levels and overall movement. The professionalism, knowledge, and friendly atmosphere at DC Physiotherapy made every appointment a positive experience, and I’ll definitely continue going back for maintenance treatment going forward.I would highly recommend Aonghus, Gary, and the whole team at DC Physiotherapy to anyone looking for knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring physios who take the time to personalise your treatment and make you feel supported throughout your recovery.

I came in to DC Physiotherapy with pain in my lower back due to a bulging disc. Aeonghus was very attentive and explained in detail how the pain I was in was caused and also explained how we would go about fixing it week by week. The decompression bed has worked wonders for me and now after my 10 sessions I am pain free. I would highly recommend it for anyone with the same symptoms as me.The staff are excellent,very helpful and friendly

I’ve had a few sessions at DC Physiotherapy and the difference I feel is incredible. From the very first visit, everything was professional, well explained, and tailored to what I actually needed.After just a few sessions, I genuinely felt amazing — less pain, better movement, and overall much more comfortable day to day. You can tell they really know what they’re doing and actually care about helping you improve, not just rushing you through appointments.Highly recommend DC Physiotherapy to anyone dealing with pain or looking to recover properly. I’ll definitely be continuing my sessions.

I completed 12 sessions of spinal decompression at DC physiotherapy.I went to Peter with an MRI showing bulging discs which was causing me discomfort and stiffness in the mornings but worse than this I was unable to run! Having completed Dublin Marathon last October ‘25, even going for a short slow jog was causing jolts of pain too severe to keep going.So I followed Peter’s advice which included rehab exercises and the decompression. At first I noticed little difference, in fact it wasn’t until session 9 that I started to notice changes.I’m back now running pain free - and training for Chicago marathon in October.I highly recommend this practice. Peter’s professionalism and attention to detail was second to none. He didn’t make promises but was realistic about progress at all times.

By the time I found the dc clinic I was in alot of pain daily. I was struggling to drive or work or even to put my socks on. I could no longer ride my horse and was at risk of loosing my business.I was hesistant about trying another physio because I had very bad painful experiences with previous chiropractor and physio sessionsLuckily Peter works at Dc . Peter was extremely professional and caring . He put my mind at ease and took everything in small steps to get started.I originally signed up for 10 sessions . A big financial commitment for me but I felt I had run out of options . I had decompression followed by physio and red light therapy. Peter had a talent for finding the spasms and stopping them.Something I had never had relief from with previous physios.The decompression was painless and over the sessions with some ups and downs I could feel some little improvements. In the end I completed 17 sessions . I never felt pressured into booking this many sessions but I could feel myself the improvements but it is a slow process . Peter is very supportive through the ups and downs . It really is a process and not a fast fix . He gave me exercises to do at home and has a real knack for making them achievable and beneficial. On the bad weeks I had specific exercises to help with spasms . I had a new plan . 17 sessions on I am pain free. I know that back injuries are very complicated and without continuing to strengthen my back and core I could return to a life of pain but after all of Peters help(he should be a motivational coach too) I feel better than I have in years .Im only 41 so a pain free future looks achievable finally . I hope I dont need any more sessions in future but I know if I need them I would be happy to return to dc physio

About half way through the course of spinal decompression, I experienced a major improvement in my pain levels. I am now living comfortably with only minor and brief pains occasionally. Throughout the course my physiotherapist tailored a manageable and effective recovery routine that I am still finding beneficial. Would highly recommend.

I started treatment with Peter at DC Physio after being diagnosed with a bulging disc's last December, and I honestly didn’t know what to expect going in. I decided to commit to a 10-week course of non-surgical spinal decompression treatments laser treatment and massage, and I’m so glad I did.After just the first session, I already felt some relief, which gave me real confidence in the process. Throughout the treatment, Peter was incredibly supportive—he took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable at every stage. He also provided me with exercises that were practical and easy to follow, which made a big difference in my recovery.Now that I’ve completed the full 10 weeks, I can say I’m extremely impressed with the level of professionalism and genuine care I received. Peter’s willingness to help and his attentive approach really stood out. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with similar issues.

After over 7 years of back pain due to bulging discs I visited DC Physiotherapy and spoke to Peter. He went through the tests, checked to make sure that I was a good candidate for Spinal Decompression and I started a 10 week course. I felt results after a few days of my first appointment and I have been amazed at the difference after 10 sessions. No pain at all after years and no mobility issues. I couldn't recommend DC Physiotherapy more. Fantastic results.

I was on crutches during Chrismas of 2025 due to herniated disc and sciatica. Simply couldn't move at all. Started moving in January. Had my MRI done, it was herniated disc at L5-S1 ( lower back). I knew it because I had this issue since 2017 which flares up randomly every couple of years. I reached out to DC physiotherapy just after reading reviews. I was having about 10-20% of hope for improvement. After 1st session with Peter, I decided that I should go for the set of 10 sessions. And then the results amazed me. I never felt better, at least since 2017. I am now doing all the regular stuff including some sports and just can't believe it. It worked magically for me. Every body can be different but I would very highly recommend DC physiotherapy in general and Peter in particular to anyone who has lost hopes with their lower back pain due to disc issue.Thanks DC team.Cheers,Nipun

I have disc compression issues in my neck over the last 15 years. I have bulging disks at C4,5 & 6 which put pressure on nerves and cause intense pain, primarily on my left side.I had been seeing a specialist who had carried out nerve blocking injections earlier this year to little effect. So I asked his opinion and he said it was worth a try.I have just completed 10 decompression sessions and I can confidently say there has been an improvement. It hasn’t fixed the problem but it has given significant relief, and with the exercises and occasional future sessions for maintenance, I am looking forward to getting a lot of my mobility back and being able to improve over time.I saw Gary, and he is a great guy, very knowledgeable and made the whole process positive.Plus, I feel taller, and I know how that sounds, but I feel my posture has improved as well and I’m not holding my muscles tight in protection mode as much. It has really helped me, so I am more than happy to recommend them.

I had a bulging disc between my C6 and C7. I wanted to avoid surgery. I had 10 sessions of non surgical decompression, laser treatment and massage. I was given daily exercises to do. The pain and numbness is subsiding and nearly gone. I am able to have a normal life now. I'm very impressed and highly recommend DC Physio.

I met DC Physiotherapy and explained that I am deaf. I brought an interpreter with me, and the staff were very supportive. I had suffered with lower back pain for 4 years since April 2022, caused by a disc problem. I did not want surgery, and I also decided against injections in my lower back.I met Aonghus, a staff member at DC Physiotherapy. He helped me with physiotherapy and clearly explained non-surgical decompression used for the disc and nerve. I had never tried this before. I lay on a specialist treatment bed and was very pleased with how quickly I was able to start treatment.I started feeling results within a few days, which was amazing. After about 4 months, my back improved a lot with no serious pain. I can now walk, go out, drive, and enjoy running and jogging again. I am still improving and hope to return to full running soon.I am very happy with the results and truly amazed. I give DC Physiotherapy 5 stars.I would especially like to thank Aonghus for his professionalism, patience, and support. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable during treatment.

I would like to share my positive feedback after completing 10 non-Surgical Spinal Decompression therapy sessions. I feel significantly better, and my pain has completely disappeared. The treatment was professional, effective, and carefully tailored to my needs. I truly appreciate the care, dedication, and expertise that made such a great improvement in my condition. I highly recommend DC Physiotherapy Clondalkin and Maftei Tarmure to anyone in need of effective and compassionate treatment.
