    Hi
    I have used Ruth Kelly Physios , Crosslanes Drogheda, on the road alongside Drogheda United/Gaa grounds,
    Found them to be very good and helpful.

    Danny Miller, opposite sullivan estate agents, been to a few and he was the only one who put me right.

    As for Ruth kelly € 1800 i left with her and no difference all she done was accupunture and rubs .

    danny will check you out and get you scan €150, and then get to the root of your problem,

    Just cant find his number at the moment.

    pm me if you need any more details

    I visited Crosslanes clinic earlier this year and wasn't terribly impressed - for a start, I had a lower back injury, could hardly walk, and was brought to an upstairs therapy room! I left after 3 sessions, having filled in a scathing customer survey!

    Ruth Kelly (whose name still graces the front door) doesn't work there any more, there are notices inside to that effect - she passed on the practice some time ago. But they're still using her name as advertising!

    There's a physio in Jackie Skelly's (used to work in Bryanstown), her name escapes me, but she was recommended by my GP.

    Ann Bourton in Tullyallen is excellent, I think. Both another member of my family and I have had reason to visit her, and we were both impressed with her competence, knowledge and professionalism.

    I would have no hesitation in recommending Ruth Kelly's in Crosslanes.. I attended the clinic following a car accident in which i injured my back. I found the staff to be professional, Friendly and polite and once finished my course of treatments was 100% again..

    sarah plunkett bryanstown medical centre she has a room there but cannot find her number anywhere, i went to her and found her very good

    I'm gonig to recommend Danny Miller too.

    He is currently treating me and got to the root of my injury straight away which several other physios failed to do. Very impressive and a decent chap too.

    Just a quick question related to this tread:
    1) What would the common going rate be for a psysio?
    2) And do you need a prescribtion from the doctor first? (that's the way it works in Belgium, I need a psysio at the moment so was happy to find this information but just not sure about the 'formalities').

    1) I paid €35 for my last visit.
    2) Do you mean a referral? If you do then no, you can walk in off the street.

    Did you try McEvoy (first name escapes me). There's actually two McEvoys, I've been to both and both are excellent.


  • Registered Users Posts: 69 ✭✭Zell


    I used this thread when looking for a physio recently and going on the majority of recommendations made an appointment with Danny Miller and found him very good and would have no hesitation in recommending him. He quickly diagnosed my problem and clearly described treatment.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 gd123


    Yea I used Sarah and found her brilliant, she has moved out to the new Crosslanes Medical Clinic her no is 041 9843950

    I went to Ruth Kelly last week for a sports knee injury. and was treated by an indian woman...name escapes me. I was told I had a chronic knee injury and needed 200 euro insoles to fix my walking (said nothing about being able to play sport).
    So I went to Danny Miller today, as recommended here, and he was brilliant. He found out exactly what was wrong and told me exactly what I needed to do and how long it would be until I could play sports again.
    I'd definitely recommend him to anyone with a sports injury. He was just brilliant!

    I go to Margaret Walsh, she looks after mattock rangers so she's well used to my football/running/gym related injuries! always does the trick

    she has a clinic in navan as well

    realtinh, i had a similar problem,went to a physio then even a chiropractor and was wearing a sole for months before i went to margaret and since havent had to wear it now ive strengthened up correctly

    the chiropractor must have known he wasnt helping! i want my money back :D

    anyway her number is 0862158925 or she'll respond to her fb as well

    Jeanette (Swedish girl) in Mornington is a good Osteopath...
    Eoin McEvoy on Peter's St. is okay too.
    The girl in M1 business park I wouldn't rate!
    Still suffer with a neck/shoulder though...! Can never have enough money for these people :mad:
    Might give Danny Miller a try, he seems hugely recommended.

    I also used this thread when looking for a physio recently and going on the majority of recommendations, made an appointment with Danny Miller and was not impressed at all. He made my problem worse. I had to go to see orthopedic consultant, who advised me surgery. Then my colleague referred me to Crosslanes physiotherapy clinic previously known as Ruth Kelly. I found them brilliant, sorted my problem without surgery. I would 100% recommend that clinic.

    This story says more about the orthopedic consultant than Danny Miller, who advised surgery when evidently not required. My son had a sports injury which had doctors baffled. Danny Miller had him right within two week. I could not recommend Danny Miller high enough.

    I had bad experience with Danny Miller. I handed huge amount of money to him for nothing. He even couldn't diagnose the problem. I wouldn't recommend him...


  • Registered Users Posts: 887 ✭✭✭kormak


    So I gave Danny Miller a shot under the positive feedback in here...
    I have to say my experience was mixed!

    I agree that Danny knows his stuff and did offer me a very good assesment at where he thinks my ongoing physical problem lies..
    However over the number of sessions that I attended, the actual physical "massage time" if you like was very very limited, especially for the money you're handing over at reception.

    A number of weeks have passed and I've been following his recommendations fairly religously.
    However I still find I've just as much discomfort as I had before I attended and this I believe is down to the very lacklustre bodywork treatment which I got over these sessions.

    I've been to a wide number of therapists over the past few years... Some are very proactive and offer plenty of physical bodywork treatment along with their own recommendations.
    Then there's also a good lot who I've noticed prefer not to give their hands too much of a workout and prefer offering assessments and recommedations.

    ps. I've absolutely no agenda is dissing anyone's practice... just another punter giving my 2 cents!

    +1 to Abhi. He has been working on my long neglected back problem, and he is very good indeed. I felt immensely better straight after the first session, and he has given me clear and simple exercises to follow, and my back seems to be on the mend, and I hope to be able to pick up my daughter again soon some day. I can not compare him to other Physiotherapists as I have never been to another one, but I can vouch for Abhi based on own experience.
