about us

The Centre was established by Chartered Physiotherapist Pam Phillips in 1984 and has flourished on its reputation of sound clinical experience and honest advice. In 2002 leadership of the clinic was passed to the current Director, Lorna Short and has continued its legacy of a quality service for the community of Ashbourne and the surrounding areas.

Over recent years the clinic has expanded further with the physiotherapy team increasing and with the inclusion of our pilates classes, massage and complementary therapy and traditional acupuncture.

All the physiotherapists working at the clinic have passed a 3-year Chartered Physiotherapists training and are registered with the Health Professions Council which means they have met the criteria to be fully recognised and have liability insurance from their professional body.

Qualifications can be examined at the websites of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and the Health Professions Council.

how we work

You can be assured of a thorough assessment. We will endeavour not only to give you a diagnosis of your problem but also to discover why the problem occurred. All findings will be fully explained by your therapist.

We believe in a ‘hands on’ approach to treatment and encourage active participation from clients in the form of home exercise programmes and ‘self help’ regimes.

Treatments are given in a friendly sympathetic and professional environment. Your therapist will always be happy to discuss any queries you have.
