Community-Focused Care
Proudly serving Dooradoyle, Castletroy, Raheen, and Limerick city areas.
Also supporting residents of Charleville, Mallow, Kanturk, and all of North Cork.
Local clients consistently report less travel time, better access, and more responsive, personalised care when choosing a clinic in their area.
Expertise You Can Trust
With over two decades in practice, I’ve treated a wide range of conditions—from sports injuries and run-ofthe-mill sprains and strains, to chronic back, knee, hip, and shoulder pain in patients who’ve tried many other options without success.
I believe in holistic, root-cause treatment: this means not just treating the area that hurts, but assessing your feet, posture, gait, and everyday movement patterns to ensure sustainable results.
I’ve helped people in Limerick avoid surgery through proper physiotherapy, orthotics, acupuncture, and effective home care plans.

I spent a fortune over 10 years and even had appointments re only step I had left to consider, surgery..... after suffering awful with chronic tennis elbow. I decided to try one last physio as I had been interested in Don for a while, but reluctant. He was brilliant, 95% improvement in my therapy. I would strongly recommend Don for this ailment . Yvonne Peebles2023-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There was a post on FB for free consultation. I contacted Don and he is everything he says he is. He was really helpful. Gave me much appreciated advice. Wish he was nearer i would so love to be in his care. Such a genuine person. I do hope i can get to him for a complete overall. I trust this man and his advice. He deserves more than a 5 star. Shane Keogh2023-09-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend Dom enough. I injured my trap in the gym and couldn't straighen my neck, was in bits, very uncomfortable. Rang him and he was able to squeeze me in within a few hours. While he was treating my shoulder I mentioned an ongoing issue with my elbow and he said we may aswell sort that too. Immediate relief on both when finished. An absolute gentleman to deal with. Recommend 100%. Jessie Skehan2023-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had serious pain in my legs for over 6 years, I have had bone density scans, blood tests, specialists and even put on hrt, all to no avail, gave up on finding out what was wrong until I went to Don, found him by accident, but what a find. 6 weeks in and the results are amazing, diagnosed me in the first 5 minutes of the consultation and the pain is decreasing every week. I would highly recommend Don, 5 stars isn't enough!! ann o'mahony2023-05-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don provided excellent service, knowledge and, most importantly, treatment for a lingering neck and shoulder issue. It was my first time having dry needling method with physio and it sorted my pain very quickly. Don gave great follow up advice and I am very happy to recommend him.
