I began migraine physio treatment with Michelle 5 months ago. The frequency and intensity of my migraines have decreased 80-90%. I have had migraines for 15+ years and didn’t anticipate any massive change but what Michelle has done for me has genuinely been life changing.I highly recommend anyone suffering with migraines to have a consultation with her!

I have used pro active physio in Oranmore where sports injuries to my teenage kids were concerned. We found pro active physio in Oranmore flexible with appointment times and excellent in dealing with the kids and diagnosis of the injury. The actual session(s) and prescribed post session exercises always worked. Its great to find a local reliable physio practice and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I want to express my gratitude to Darren at ProActive Physio. His overall interest in what he does, it seems to me he enjoys his career... His care in taking time to access the presenting physical problem, his line of questioning for clarification, taking time to point out on the wall charts where the problem area presents, his care in demonstrating how exercises be done correctly and the goals he sets to enable recovery.... His positivity is life-giving.It makes going to Physio a positive experience leading to an active and enjoyable life again.Thank you Darren.

Had to get physio on my ankle after a second operation on it. Wanted to ensure I went to a highly recommended Physio and was recommended ProActive Physio by my GP.Katy was my Physio and from the get go I knew I was in capable hands. Katy gave me a detailed physio plan from the start. She never pushed me but constantly encouraged me to keep up my physio and apply it on a daily basis.My recovery was slow initially, but Katy had said it would take time. Even during COVID she did zoom calls and continued to monitor my process. With the help of ProActive Physio namely Katy, I was able return to work quicker than expected and made a great recovery.CANNOT RECOMMENDED PROACTIVE PHYSIO ENOUGH. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I have been going to ProActive Physio for several years and they are excellent. Any time I visited ProActive Physio over the years with any injury, I have had positive results in a short time, every time! They have fantastic knowledge when it comes to diagnosing injuries and putting in place good effective rehab plans. They are very friendly, extremely helpful, their professionalism is top quality, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
