Happy Clients

I went to Colin this week after being injured in a car accident last month in which I was hit from behind at 100kph. My neck wasn’t getting any better with exercises given me by another physio and I wasn’t sleeping at night because of the pain. After just one treatment with Colin using dry needling, there’s been a significant improvement in my neck - and I’m getting a full night’s sleep. Amazing! I’ll continue my treatment with him, reassured that I will recover completely.

very professional, very clean and he knows his stuff. Helped me out with ongoing pain I had in back and shoulder.

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.

I had never experienced back pain before and it came on all of a sudden. The usual painkillers did not work. I had even taken time off work because it was so bad. Colin used his physiotherapy techniques along with dry needling and two days later the pain has vastly improved. Can't thank Colin enough for his help and professionalism.

Lisa D.

A visit to David for Podiatery. Absolutely excellent experience. Thoroughly recommend.

Lillian R.

i took Colin's Pilates class in Australia and I can recommend it. Colin's a great instructor and the longer you stick with Pilates the more benefits you see, I've found not just an improvement in general fitness but a reduction in knee pain as well. I'm glad to see you're taking classes again Colin even if you left us.

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.

Colin is very knowledgeable, quick to diagnose and identify the problem. Explained what was the issue and what it will take to fix it. Went for shoulder strain and back injury/strain at different stages and resolved them. An improvement as early as 1st appointment.

David M.

Hi Colin,I just want to say a massive thank you for all your help with Ella since Saturday.We were all feeling the pressure as we tried to get her onto that stage yesterday… but thankfully with your and guidance we were able to do that.We really appreciate it. She is a great kid and had put so much work in over the last few months… it was great (albeit stressful) to get her on stage and across the line yesterday.But thankfully she did it and got the world qualifying place very comfortably too.We will get it rested up now…. She will be back into you for a session or two to see what you think in the next week… just to make sure it is healing up ok and we get it back to normal strength asap.Thanks again Colin – you went over and above for us.Mark

I have felt very comfortable during my visits and feel like my needs are being well taken care of.I have already noticed significant improvements in my condition after just a few visits, and I have complete confidence that with continued treatment, I will make a full recovery.Overall, I highly recommend this physiotherapy practice. The quality of care is top-notch, and I have had a very positive experience so far.

Great physio !! After multiple ACL injuries and never really rehabilitating properly. I went to Colin following a recommendation. We created a plan and stuck to it and haven’t looked back since

Andy L.

I was so lucky to have found such a great physio. I was in a lot of pain with my knee, found it difficult to walk and was told surgery wouldn’t really help. I found Colin very positive from the beginning and he reassured me that with physio and doing at home exercises prescribed by him, he could help. I attended physio for five months and during that time I found him fantastic for accommodating appointment times around my work. After one month I noticed a dramatic difference. I am now pain free and can walk for miles without any difficulty. I am extremely grateful to Colin for his help.

I first dealt with Colin in early January 2026, due to a number issues with my neck, shoulder and arm on my right side. Over 11 sessions Colin successfully addressed each issue, not only with treatment but also with advise on exercises, supplements and work aids such as wrist support. Colin is always pleasant to deal with and is always professional in his approach. I would recommend Colin highly to both family and friends.
