Physiotherapy Sessions
All in-patients admitted to Clontarf Rehabilitation Hospital are assessed by a physiotherapist. Each patient receives an individualised, goal-oriented, evidence-based programme tailored to their specific needs and goals.
Physiotherapy sessions take place either on the ward or in our fully equipped Physiotherapy Gym, located on the ground floor. In addition to one‑to‑one treatment, the Physiotherapy Department offers a variety of regular group exercise classes and Falls Prevention education sessions.
Services are available to in-patients of Clontarf Rehabilitation Hospital only. There is no outpatient physiotherapy service.
Education
The Physiotherapy Department provides undergraduate clinical placements for physiotherapy students from the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland (RCSI).
