Clinical physio-led pilates
At Fingal Physiotherapy we hold qualifications from the Australian Physiotherapy Pilates Institute, which has been designed by Physiotherapists for use in the rehabilitation setting to aid recovery and prevent future injury. Pilates focuses on increasing mobility, strength and endurance of the muscles throughout your body, but in particular you spine, pelvis, hips and shoulders. However we offer one to one Pilates which will focus on your individual needs. We specialise in beginner and intermediate Pilates, Pilates for runners, mat work and equipment and in prenatal pregnancy and post-natal Pilates.
Acupuncture / dry needling
At Fingal Physiotherapy we hold postgraduate qualifications and training in Acupuncture for Musculoskeletal conditions and dry needling. Dry needling can be used to decreased hypertonicity in muscles, for trigger point therapy and myofascial pain. We use acupuncture based on Traditional Chinese Medicine meridians to decreased pain. However both dry needling and acupuncture can be used to ultimately decrease your pain, improve your mobility, contractability of a muscle and improve performance.

Therefore, we pride ourselves in providing outstanding treatments accompanied with knowledge to our patients on how injuries occur and in some case continue if not treated right. We offers services, including sports specific tests, which look in debt at the body’s ability to cope with the stresses we put on it, with the goal of preventing injury and reinjury.
