In December 2019 I was on Holiday in Galway and suffered with terrible migraine and neck pain. After many days I decided to find a physio. I came across Galway physio and wellness centre and emailed Colin. Colin replied quickly and squeezed me in that day - what a relief.
Colin was very professional and I’m very happy I booked the appointment with him.
Trying to claim from my medical aid has been a nightmare with back and forth emails needing info from Colin. He has been amazing and always responded without hassle.
Thank you Colin for everything.

Cassandra W.

Couldn’t be happier to have found this physio after a painful two nights in A&E. Colin accurately knew which spinal disc was pinching a nerve, later confirmed by an MRI, from just my description of the numbness in different fingers.He’s easy to contact for appointment changes, there’s plenty of parking - happy to recommend to others.
