David O'Neil Physiotherapy

David O’Neil has helped me enormously with heel pain that had stopped me going for walks and playing tennis for a year. He described it as sensitive tissue and instead of treating it with massage, encouraged me to become more active and strengthen leg muscles, giving me very specific exercises. This has worked really well and I am now able to be active again. He listens very carefully and is very encouraging, and keeps the pressure on to make sure you persevere and make a good recovery

Over the past 15 years I've seen physical therapists for a host of different issues, in four different countries. David stands out among them; he listens, he gets results and he has a wonderful approach that focuses on getting you back to movement.
When I booked my first appointment I was ready to hear that I'd have to give up running. My knee issues spread from my running sessions and into every day life.

Long story short. That was in October. In December I was not only pain free, but I now run the fastest I have in 15 years!

It's been life changing for me.

I had a skiing accident to a knee tendon in January 22 and went to David O'Neil for physiotherapy. David successfully took me through the next five months of careful physio. He designed sets of exercises that slowly built up strength and range. The process was very good. David has extensive experience and a strong skill base; as well as being careful, thoughtful, and empathic. For me the physio was a good positive experience; and due to David's physio I am now recovered and am ready for next year's skiing. I am happy to recommend David.

I contacted David because I had a frozen shoulder. His advice was clear and straightforward and the exercises he suggested were very effective. Things improved quickly - altogether a successful and satisfying experience.

I visited David after struggling with shoulder pain following a football injury. The cause was impinged shoulder and I had just hoped that time would heal it, but it didn't. After finally deciding to pull the trigger on PT, I went to see David.

He quickly diagnosed the issues and recommended exercises. Each session introduced new exercises and progress was almost immediate. Within two weeks I was able to perform the existing routine with more weight and within three weeks my range of motion had improved dramatically.

I am very happy with David, as he explains everything very clearly and was spot on with his recommendations.

I'd highly recommend David for your physiotherapy needs. I went to him for rehabilitation after having hip arthroscopic surgery to fix a hip impingement and labral tears affecting my ability to run and bike. He was very professional, friendly and prioritizes his patient over anything else. The program we followed was tailored to my needs and was an excellent balance of pushing my recovery forward while maintaining a cautious enough approach that I never feared risk of re-injury. I also appreciate that he tends to take a holistic approach and is aware of how stress and tension can aggravate injuries. For any future physiotherapy needs, I would 100% go back to David.

I visited David as I had some lower back pain due to a gym injury. During the initial consultation David was quick to understand the root of the issue, and suggested some exercises that targeted the problem area. I visited David four times, and on each occasion he re-assessed my situation and tailored my exercise program accordingly. David also provided some helpful tips around my posture and how to perform certain gym exercises in order to avoid similar problems in the future. I’m happy to say that the pain went away completely in about a month’s time. Highly recommended!

Following on from ACL reconstructive surgery, David came highly recommended from the operating surgeon. Throughout the course of physiotherapy David was very knowledgeable, experienced, confident and hands-on meaning the each session was a very efficient with its time slot and has helped me make significant and quick process with my rehabilitation. Furthermore to David having strong physiotherapy credentials, he is also very personable which certainly helped the rehabilitation process and made recovery a much nicer process.
