ADVANCE PHYSIO WATERFORD
Testimonials
“I’ve been visiting Anthony since before Christmas after an injury to my knee that wouldn’t heal. I couldn’t recommend him more. Before treatment I couldn’t make it up the stairs without severe pain and walking was a struggle. Anthony got me back moving 100% and completely pain free! The atmosphere in the clinic is always warm and welcoming and Kate makes the booking process very easy and flexible. Thank you so much guys for helping me out!”
Ms. Hayley Roe

“I've had a pain in my hip since last October, I couldn’t weight bear on it properly. I was recommended Anthony and after only 4 sessions I am completely pain free and couldn’t be happier. I can't recommend Anthony enough - very professional and friendly.”

“I've had back problems on and off for the last few years so I went to see Anthony in Advance Physio, and my back has never been better. I couldn't recommend him enough.”
Mr. Jason Ryan

“What an amazing place. I have suffered with back pain for many years. I went to physio in South Africa many times and it was extremely painful. Anthony is amazing, you are in no pain while he is busy with you. I sleep better and can move better after going to him.”
Ms. Stacey Barry
Waterford
“I started visiting Anthony for neck pain and headaches a year ago. I completed a treatment plan with Anthony, which eliminated my long-standing pain. I now visit Anthony a number of times throughout the year for maintenance treatments. I have tried many different practitioners over the years, but have finally found a practice that has helped me. Anthony and Kate are so great to deal with, and often accommodate me with last minute appointments. Anthony has also helped my son after a calf injury, and my husband with chronic knee pain. We highly recommend Advance Physio!”
Ms. Louise Doyle

“I started seeing Anthony for a chronic back problem last September. I had been having issues since 2010, getting progressively worse over time. Advance Physio offer a different approach to care - educating me as to what was causing the issues and giving me exercises that keep my back healthy. I go back every month for a tune up and can happily say I haven't had a major back problem in nearly a year. Anthony and Katie are always really friendly and helpful which is just the icing on the cake. I highly recommend Advance Physio for back issues, general wellbeing and a top class service.”
Ms. Mags O’Riordan
Dungarvan, Co. Waterford
“After a course of treatment with Anthony I am now free from pain!!!! Following an accident 20 years ago, and intermittent problems since, I decided I had had enough!!! So I went along to Anthony, followed his advice and have never felt better!!! His treatment is amazing as are the results!!! The premises is bright and fresh, and Kate (the receptionist) is an absolute pet!!! I totally recommend Advance Physio Waterford.”
Ms. Carmel McGrath
Waterford
“I couldn't recommend Advance Physio enough! I have been to many physios but he is the first to give me substantial results. Your physio appointment is short and to the point allowing you to fit it into any sort of busy schedule. He listens to your needs and won't stop helping until you get the results you want. I have had many issues with my knees to my neck and back, which Anthony has thankfully fixed. Not to forget Kate at reception who is always so friendly, professional and a pleasure to deal with. A great place for anyone to go as I guarantee you will not be disappointed!”
Ms. Charlene O’Sullivan

“I am a 41-year-old active male and could barely stand or walk without agony. After a few gentle treatments by Anthony, I was pain free! Especially like his target of curing the source of the issue. Couldn't recommend any higher!”
Mr. Jonathan Yoder

“I've been going to Advance Physio with the last 4 weeks with severe sciatica on my left leg caused by a bulging disc. Anthony worked on the problem areas and I have not felt as good in a while.”
Mr. Garry Whyte
Waterford
“I've been going to Anthony for treatment for the last 4 weeks and I could not recommend him enough. I went into Anthony with stiff neck pain, shoulder pain and arm tightness, which was causing me problems throughout my everyday activities. Anthony was able to find the source of my pain and the effects it was having on other parts of my body during my day one assessment. On day two he walked me through my results and started my treatment right away where I felt a huge difference. Anthony has been very attentive and helpful throughout my treatment and is always available to answer any questions I have. The clinic is also in a good location with easy to find parking and offers appointments in the evening so you don't have to miss work. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who feels they need physio.”
Ms. Olivia Roche

Ms. Christine Browne

“Started having an issue with my shoulder a while back where I couldn’t lift it higher than my neck without pain, clicking, or cracking. It affected me in work and in my hobbies. My doctor initially wanted to send me for an MRI, but did suggest a physio as well. After a little googling, I found Anthony’s practice and came highly recommended from friends too. I wasn’t disappointed. Very polite and professional describes them perfectly. Kate at the desk is very helpful and informative, and a pleasure to talk to. Anthony was quick to diagnose my issue, and subsequent treatments have resulted in massive improvement in my shoulder. I have full use of it with no pain, no clicking or cracking, and only catches once in a while. I cannot recommend them enough if you need a physio!”
Mr. Douglas Roe
Waterford
“I have had back issues for a long time. I have gone down all the usual routes, got sorted for a while then in pain again! I ended up trying Anthony in Advance Physio after 3 years of pain from what others has said was bursitis in my hip joint in a number of places,and the constant nagging pain in my back. When I got up one morning and decided I wanted to shoot myself because of the pain I knew it was time to look again to find someone to help!! After being left black and blue and in pain from other physios and other treatments, only to find when the pain went from treatments, I was still in pain with my back and hip!!! So that’s how I ended up with Advance Physio! 18 months since my last visit and pain free all that time! Needless to say I am delighted as I thought I had to put up with the pain for the rest of my life! Went yesterday to have an overhaul and make sure it stays that way, when Anthony reminded me it was 18 months since I had been!!! When you’re in pain it seems to go on forever! When you’re out of pain you forget and when it starts again it seems like it had not stopped!!! Money well spent and no bruising from treatments. Took a little while to kick in but it’s like peeling an onion layer by layer. Anthony told me how it worked, what to expect, and it encouraged me, as it happened as he said, so I knew it was working. Kate was a pleasure to deal with, always helpful with appointments. Anthony got me out of pain so what can I say but thank you. Would highly recommend going here after my experience with back and hip pain, to becoming pain free.”
Ms. Andreina Waugh

“Fantastic physio sessions with Anthony have to say after having pain in my neck for a long time it's great that the pain is finally gone - thanks again.”
Ms. Christine Quinn
Waterford
“I was suffering badly with chronic knee pain, stiffness and on weight bearing pain. Pain was torture. I was taking a lot of O.T.C painkillers with little effect. Then I decided to attend Anthony Phelan at Advance Physio. In the beginning, I went for treatment twice a week. As I started to feel less pain after a few weeks, I was then able to cut back to once a week for treatment. Anthony gave me low impact exercises to do at home, which I found also helped very much. I was then able to cut back on painkillers, move better, and move pain free. I found Advance Physio had a pleasant atmosphere, very helpful with getting appointments that suited me. I recommend anyone to go here and have no hesitation going back to him again myself as got great relief.”
Ms. Annette Phelan
Waterford
“I had pain in my lower back for a few weeks before I went to Anthony at his clinic, in Waterford. He gave me a thorough assessment, which identified the cause of my pain and how it was going to be treated. I was given exercises to do every day, and with the treatments I got every week when I visited the clinic, I could feel the pain easing every week. I went for just over 5 weeks and in the last week the pain was totally gone. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone I know with any back pain.”
Mr. Thomas O’Leary
Inistioge, Co. Kilkenny
“I started getting physio with Anthony a few months ago and at the time when it began I could barely walk with back pain and severe sciatica pains and nerve damage down my right leg. Anthony advised me to come for physio three times a week for a few weeks to get to the root of the problem, which was my right hip and two middle discs in my back. Being honest, I was skeptical at the beginning and this was only because I had tried everything to fix my back and had paid so much money on other people to fix me and it made no difference. I started to notice a relief in the pain in my leg first after maybe two weeks and then gradually my back became better and better as the weeks passed. The pain eased significantly until there was none anymore, and I could once again walk and do housework, work, and do all the things I used to do without pain. Also, I was taking a lot of strong anti-inflammatory and prescription painkillers, which made me feel awful, and I am now not taking any. I have nothing but positive words to say about Advance Physio.”
Ms. Julie O’Keeffe
Waterford
“I went to Anthony a couple of weeks ago with back problems, after just a few weeks the pain is gone and I feel like myself again. I was able to go back to work a week after my treatment began. Advance Physio is a very friendly and welcoming place where your problems are heard and dealt with accurately, I highly recommend to go there as you will receive a high standard of care.”
Ms. Jessica O’Keeffe

Ms. Emma Murphy

“I went in as I had a lower back pain, in 2 sessions and exercises to do myself it was gone! I am now fully recovered with no pain at all so I would highly recommend Anthony, he is very competent and friendly.”
Mr. Maxine Lerouge

“Very happy with the end result. I went to the clinic with neck, arm and shoulder pain and walked out of it pain free. Staff are amazing. Highly recommend it.”
Mr. Arnolt Leka

“I suffered with my back for a great number of years but Anthony in Advance Physio sorted my problem. I noticed some difference even on the first visit and just got better with each visit. My knees and back never felt better, I am feeling like a young one again.”
Ms. Hazel Kennedy
Waterford
“Had great difficulty walking, especially in the morning due to constant pain in heel over a long period of time.With a few sessions Anthony had my heel pain free and has remained so.I also had a persistent shoulder problem, again I am pain free, many thanks to Anthony. I would definitely recommend people with skeletal problems to attend Advance Physio.I found the whole experience very friendly and Anthony very approachable and listened to me. Kate was very friendly and helpful.The whole environment was comfortable and reassuring.”
Ms. Ann Kelly
Waterford
“Had about 6 or 7 sessions. My back and neck pain is cured. Anthony and staff are really friendly and I would highly recommend their services.”
Mr. Alex Ingman
Waterford
“I would like to say a huge thanks to Anthony Phelan. I had a road traffic accident many years ago and since then I have suffered lower back pain which had grown progressively worse over the past few years, to the point where I would be out of action and in complete agony for days. My profession is a mechanic so my job involves bending, lifting, pulling, pushing and working above my head daily. All of which can be strenuous. Since attending Anthony, I can gladly say that real progress has been made.... that excruciating shot of pain when I bent down or moved a certain way has not resurfaced. I have kept up my exercises and I honestly haven't had any problems since. Thanks again Anthony - and to anyone reading this, I would have no hesitation recommending Anthony at Advance Physio Waterford.”
Mr. Daniel Hoban
Passage East, Co. Waterford
“I went to Anthony with a repeat lower back injury from years ago and found him very professional, great to explain the source of the problem and how treatment would proceed. My injury was able to be solved in a few sessions with no issues since.”
Ms. Rachael Egan

“I went to Anthony in Advance Physio with multiple issues including my back and hip which had been ongoing for a while. After completing my treatment plan with Anthony those issues have been resolved! Couldn’t be happier to finally have those issues cleared up and to be pain free. The customer service in Advance Physio is top notch and booking appointments is made easy. Highly recommend!”
Mr. John Doyle
Waterford
“My back pain is sorted. Exceptional professional care.”
Ms. Gillian Diola
Waterford
“I went to Anthony with leg pain. I could not stand or walk for more than 10 minutes at a time. My leg would go rigid and I had to stop. This made everyday tasks very difficult. Anthony diagnosed the area causing the trouble, and after a few sessions with Anthony and some simple exercises I can walk and stand for much longer periods of time. And I am still improving.”
Ms. Nina Daly
Waterford
“I found Anthony to be highly competent and professional. He has an amazing understanding of physiology and the practicalities of healing injuries. The pain in my knee, which had bothered me for months, and prevented me from training, was healed after 2 visits. I can highly recommend the team at Advance Physio.”
Mr. Tim Carroll
Newrath, Co. Kilkenny

Mr. Eric Baldwin
Tramore, Co. Waterford
“Before attending Advance Physio I felt like I was not existing and scared of permanent injury. The pain made me lose control of my life. I couldn’t sleep at night-time and couldn’t wake up at an appropriate time either. After the treatment, I was happy. The treatment gave me back my life and confidence. In many cases, injury is not permanent and is not the end of a normal life. We just need to get to the right place for treatment and get back on our feet. I would encourage anyone around who needs a physio to visit Advance Physio and thank me later. I am a living witness.”
Mr. Abideen Amoo
Waterford
“When I arrived to Advance Physio I experienced a particularly bad backache. My back would lock completely, it was agony to do almost anything. Pain when I bent forward, stretched, even breathed! I would not turn over in bed, was in agony trying to get out of bed. Tasks like sweeping the floor, picking up things from the floor, driving, getting pants/socks/shoes on was a painful ordeal for me. On one occasion I was crying in pain on the phone to my mother. This level of pain first appeared before Christmas, then improved somewhat before coming back in late April with an intensity I have never experienced before. I thought my back was broken and paralyzed. I could not stand for any length of time and walking was a trial, as well as sitting and getting up again.
The improvement after starting treatment was very rapid. The first thing I noticed was my ability to lie on my back at night without any back or hip pain which I could not do for many years. I also noticed that it was easier to maintain a better posture i.e. standing and walking straight. Pain in doing everyday things just disappeared. I am now able to stand for longer periods and walk for a long time without any major pain or discomfort. A big improvement in carrying and lifting things too. Normal tasks do not tend to trigger pain any longer. I can now drive, get dressed, bend forward and twist, do house chores and turn around in bed comfortably. I make sure I carry out the simple exercises Anthony recommended every day knowing they help to ward off any reoccurrence in my pain problems.
I found the treatment sessions very helpful in my working on my particular problem areas. I could feel the relief in the next days, I found Anthony most professional, knowledgeable, dedicated and well mannered at all times. His kind and friendly manner put me at ease. I have recommended Advance Physio to several people and I am thankful to have found it myself. Great practice.”
Ms. Pascalle Bifolchi
Ferrybank, Waterford
“Before my treatment at Advance Physio Waterford, I had been experiencing back pain on and off for a couple of years. When it got to the point where I struggled to get out of a chair, I knew I had to get professional advice! From my first visit, Anthony explained my situation and treatment in easy-to-understand terms and over the course of a few weeks and regular visits – I noticed a clear improvement. Since my treatment, I have not experienced anything like the pain and difficulty I had before. I believe this is the result of an effective course of physio, and also the small changes I have made as suggested by Anthony.”
Mr. Vincent Bradley
Waterford
“Periodic pain in my shoulder and in my knees when cycling. From the treatment I received at Advance Physio the pain disappeared. Anthony noticed my stance was not straight and largely fixed that.”I found the treatment sessions very helpful in my working on my particular problem areas. I could feel the relief in the next days, I found Anthony most professional, knowledgeable, dedicated and well mannered at all times. His kind and friendly manner put me at ease. I have recommended Advance Physio to several people and I am thankful to have found it myself. Great practice.”
Mr. John Costello
Waterford
“The neck pain I was experiencing had been getting worse over time. It was making sleeping and exercising difficult and was having a negative impact on my general quality of life. It was at this stage that I decided to get treatment at Advance Physio. The results were immediate, the neck pain I had been experiencing was gone following the intensive treatment I received. Sleeping and exercising is much easier now that the niggling pain is gone. Anthony, Kate and all the staff at Advance Physio are very welcoming and professional. The treatment plan was explained fully following a detailed investigation of the issue. The treatment resolved the issue and I would highly recommend Advance Physio to anyone suffering from pain or injury.”
Mr. Timmy Counihan
Kilmeaden, Co. Waterford
“When I came in just before Christmas, I could hardly walk, with a couple of sessions my pain had eased so much that I have hardly any pain now. I would highly recommend anyone to go with back problems. I am feeling a lot better now, the staff are always very understanding and helpful.”
Ms. Margaret Coyne
Waterford
“Before visiting Advance Physio I was in a lot of pain and discomfort. I was finding it particularly difficult when climbing stairs and trying to walk down the stairs. I had what I would call a gripping pain in my hip and lower back, which went down into my legs. It certainly got a lot easier using the stairs. The pain was less intense after a couple of visits to physio. I was given some exercise to do at home and found them good. If at times I feel any kind of discomfort, I do these exercises and they help. I certainly feel I received good treatment at Advance Physio. I have recommended this practice to others and will continue to do so.”
Ms. Valerie Crowe
Dunkitt, Co. Kilkenny
“I went to Advance Physio because I had twisted my knee and I had difficulty walking. Since attending Advance Physio I now have freedom walking. Advance Physio has a very pleasant atmosphere and Anthony is most helpful.”
Ms. Theresa Dunne
Waterford
“Before I started treatment with Advance Physio, I had to always take days off from my job because of the pain in my back. It was hard to move, pick things up, lift or push things. Since having the treatment, I am happy. I would say all of the pain is gone, now I can work and move freely. I recommend Advance Physio to everyone because it changed my life and saved my job.”
Ms. Anna Gadzilli
Kill, Co. Waterford
“Before my treatment at Advance Physio I was out of work due to my injury. I was having difficulty sleeping, performing some everyday tasks and even driving because I was finding it hard getting in and out of my car. I also found that my back was extremely stiff,I felt an immediate improvement after just my first session. As my treatment went on I felt a constant improvement. I was able to quickly get back to work, driving and didn’t have trouble sleeping. Throughout the treatment, Anthony was extremely thorough and helpful and explained everything along the way. He is also extremely friendly, professional and easy to talk to. He listened to any questions or queries I had and answered them all and adjusted the treatment accordingly. Since my treatment finished a few months ago I’ve had no trouble with my back. Everything about my treatment was excellent. It’s easy to make an appointment, easy to find the clinic and parking right outside. Kate is extremely friendly and helpful and answered any questions I had. Anthony is also extremely friendly. The pretreatment and posture analysis very good. Also, it was very helpful to receive a talk from Anthony before the treatment, which explained what the treatment entailed and how the back is structured. Since my treatment finished I have been contacted multiple times which is very nice and shows that they care.”
Mr. Ciaran Kelly
Tramore, Co. Waterford
“I was in constant pain, couldn’t drive, work or sleep properly. Found it difficult to perform normal daily tasks. I felt my athletics career was over. I was 80% pain free after the first treatment. At the end of the first month I was totally pain free and back in full training. I am looking forward to this year’s season. All my treatments were explained and in a relaxed, professional manner.”
Mr. Pat Kennedy
Kilmacthomas, Co. Waterford
“Pain and swelling are a thing of the past. The improvement in the flexion of my right knee means that I can again do simple things like put on a sock whilst standing on my good leg. I can get into the car and come down the stairs normally. Previously, for 18 holes of golf whilst doable, meant a painful night’s sleep afterwards. Now, I can play days in succession without a reaction. I had given up on the notion of running my second marathon but I’m strongly considering it again. The fact that my job requires me to be on my feet for most the day meant that the pain and swelling were inevitable at the end of every day. At times, I couldn’t sleep due to the constant dull pain. I even developed a limp due to the fact that I compensated in the way I walked over a period of time. Prior to Advance Physio, I was resigned to the fact that a replacement knee was a foregone conclusion sooner rather than later.”
Mr. Derry Kiely
Dunhill, Co. Waterford
“I had a nagging pain in my left knee and it was really noticeable whenever I bent down or would start to do any sporting activities so basically I had to limit those activities to a serious degree. After one session, Anthony managed to identify the problem and after working on my knee I immediately noticed a huge improvement. I no longer had the pain and I could bend down and move more freely. I am looking forward to starting sports again. Very pleasant manner, very professional and obviously very expert too. I feel very lucky to have walked in the door of this practice.”
Mr. Thomas Nolan
Grenoble, France
“Before I met Anthony I never dealt with serious injuries. So when my injury was all of a sudden in a rugby match, I knew Anthony was the man to help me with rehab. Every week I saw improvements, he had me walking, jogging and playing again quicker than I thought I would be.My knowledge of injury prevention and rehab from Anthony has been a big change for me, as he talked me through rehabilitation and injury prevention every visit and it’s been a big help moving forward with my career. I’ve recommended Anthony to some of my friends with back pains from past injuries and they couldn’t believe how quick he gets everything back to the way it should be. I always felt I could ask any question that came to mind, which was a great help to me. Definitely one of the best out there.”
Mr. John O’Regan
Tramore, Co. Waterford
“I was in constant pain. I found the simplest of tasks hard to do like holding a full kettle or holding my phone to my ear. It also affected my driving, as I was unable for long journeys. My sleep was affected as well. After beginning my treatment at Advance Physio I noticed a reduction of pain in my back. I was able to return to the gym and work, after being out for over two months. I wasn’t waking up in the nights anymore with pain. I am happy with the treatment I received. It was a quick recovery and fixed the problems I had previous to the accident. The treatment was very informative throughout.”
Ms. Gillian Quinn
Clonmel, Co. Tipperary
“I started going to Advance Physio with upper back pain and headaches that were making everyday life unbearable, since starting physio there I have very little discomfort and I am back to myself, would highly recommend them.”
Ms. Janette Reid
Mooncoin, Co. Kilkenny
“Excellent experience in Advance Physio. I had issues with my knee and back which were extremely frustrating. I’m happy to say they are a lot better now. Anthony is thorough and really listens to the person’s needs. I suffer from migraines also and had one for 3/4 days and after telling Anthony he worked on my neck and I literally couldn’t believe the relief I had almost straight away. I would highly recommend Advance Physio. You won’t regret it.”
Ms. Kathy Rolle
Waterford
“There are three of us in my family who have attended Anthony Phelan in Advance Physio. 1. A 50-year-old male with long term back pain. Doctor said it was just wear and tear.
2. Myself aged 55 working as a care assistant. I really thought I was going to be forced to retire with pain & no sleep.
3. My 14-year-old daughter who had spinal surgery but still didn’t have full range of movement.
After attending Advance Physio, we have improved quality of life. Our daughter is now able to attend school and sit on a chair for periods and is now very active.
Myself – I now have increased energy due to getting sufficient sleep. No pain when working.
Husband after years of pain now has full movement and can even cut the grass.
None of us have ever attended physio before. Assessments and exercises given seemed very thorough. When we did attend, the sessions often appeared very short but amazingly, gradually they worked.
I would liken Anthony to a magician for the success we have had. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Advance Physio.”
Ms. Mary Schneider
Tramore, Co. Waterford
“I have been with Anthony here for treatment for the past 12 weeks. On arrival my posture was off balance and I damaged my joints on the lower end of my spine. There were a lot of daily things I could not do. He took great care of me over this period of time and today my posture is really good. I have no more pain and doing daily tasks is great again. I would highly recommend Advance Physio Waterford.”
Ms. Vera McDonald
Waterford
“Christmas Eve 2017 I injured my back, it was so painful that my mobility was affected, it was painful to walk, sit and bend. I run my own business so it was very important for me to get myself well as soon as possible. I called Advance Physio and was seen within days. An old injury, which had also been causing me pain, was discovered. After four weeks of gentle treatment I felt so much better, so much so that I could resume my exercise routine and work comfortably. After six weeks of treatment I felt better than I had in years. The treatment I received was gentle, effective and did not take up much of my time. My husband is currently attending Advance Physio for back pain and like myself is delighted with the results.”
Ms. Laura Sinnott
Campile, Co. Wexford
“I was involved in a road traffic collision in May 2000, and I suffered ongoing chronic back and neck pain as a result. My pain became increasingly worse and worse through the end of 2017, and I made a new year's resolution to get good care and improve it as it was affecting my general wellness, sleep, and ability to work for sustained periods. Through word-of-mouth I heard about Advance Physio and Anthony, and I decided to give it a go. Over the years I have had many different types of pain management interventions and treatments, and many provided some bit of relief; however, Anthony's work with me has been transformative. Over a 4 week period, and through relatively gentle manipulation and some basic exercises on my part, my pain has almost disappeared, I'm sleeping much better and more consistently, and my posture and alignment have significantly improved. I highly recommend Advance Physio and Anthony to anyone - as a long-term pain sufferer I had become resigned to that being my lot, but Anthony took the time to explain new thinking and practices and was positive that he could make a difference. Anthony has certainly done that, and now that he has helped me to this point I look forward to continuing to attend each month to help sustain the improvements.”
Mr. Darrin Taylor
Tullogher, Co. Kilkenny
“I had a tingling in my right hand, making it hard to hold items e.g. phone, steering wheel. I woke up a few times at night with a pain in my elbow.Following treatments and exercises to do at home the tingling is gone and my grip has strengthened. I don’t experience my discomfort in my elbow any longer.Both Anthony & Kate are very professional and friendly. A great service is provided in a friendly and efficient manner at all times.”
Ms. Marguerite Twomey
Ferrybank, Waterford
“Absolutely brilliant service and Anthony & Kate are so lovely to deal with. I couldn't recommend them more.”
Ms. Coriosa Walsh
Ferrybank, Waterford
“I’m a 22 year old nearly-qualified nursing student. All my life I’ve loved participating in sports, from camogie, badminton aswell as other outdoor activities. As any other ordinary student, I also enjoy going out with my friends.When I got injured, all of what I enjoyed doing, my work and all the usual household tasks became very difficult to do. I was in constant pain at work, being a nurse it’s a very physical occupation and the hours are long when you’re standing for at least 12 hours every shift. I had to resort to wearing a back brace for support as there were days where I couldn’t even bend down to pick something off the floor for a patient. With camogie and exercise, both were pretty much out of the question. I was in pain when walking so I knew myself that I would not be able to play sport for some time, which killed me. I was too sore to go places or go out with family and friends, even trying to do the normal everyday tasks were a struggle. There were days where I couldn’t move in bed as I was in so much pain, which also caused severe lack of sleep and discomfort. Life was pretty much miserable before I began my treatment at Advance Physio.
When I began my treatment at Advance Physio, I noticed positive changes nearly straight away. After one or two treatments I eased my way back into exercising and playing camogie. Although I still had to wear the support, I noticed I wasn’t in near as much pain as I had previously been. It wasn’t long after that that I got back playing with my club and was much happier.
As for work, work is still tough but that’s understandable with the hours I do. But I am in nowhere near as much pain as I had been in which is great. I am enjoying the remaining weeks of my training as opposed to the starting few, because I don’t have as much pain and my movement is better.
Life has been so much better; I can go out, go places with my boyfriend, family and friends and not have to worry about when the pain will start when I was out. There’s no problem with household tasks either anymore, overall my quality of life has improved greatly over a short few months.
My experience with Kate and Anthony were very positive. Both were very friendly and pleasant to deal with throughout the treatment, I would highly recommend Advance Physio if anyone suffers from any sort of back pain as the team will surely help you out like they did for me.”
Ms. Marianne Walsh
Mooncoin, Co. Kilkenny
“I suffered very debilitating lower back pain since an injury when I was 16. A life of painkillers when the pain was too bad is no way to live. It blighted my life. The first treatment from Anthony and I floated out of the clinic. The pain has not returned. I sleep very well all night, I do not take painkillers, creams or gels. I have a more active and enjoyable life at home and work. Anthony is a genius without him I would be constantly suffering. He is very professional. It has been the easiest recovery from pain ever. Anthony does what he says. Very handy clinic location and very easy treatment. “
Mr. Paul White
Waterford
“My right arm was giving me a lot of pain, both when working and also at night trying to sleep. The pain gradually went away over the course of 5 treatments at Advance Physio. I appreciated the exercises that were recommended to help prevent future problems.”
Mr. Daniel Yoder
Dunmore East, Co. Waterford
“The professionalism with which I was treated by Anthony and his receptionist Kate. I've been having treatment for my back and shoulder for some weeks now and am happy to report that I'm now pain free as a result of these treatments. The Clinic is absolutely clean with all Covid-19 precautions in place so it's a relaxing environment in which to be treated. I'm delighted to give Advance Physio a five star rating and urge anyone with back problems to give them a call. You won't regret it.”
Ms. Penny Nordell

“Lovely calm relaxed practice. Very friendly and accommodating staff! I've been going to Anthony for a couple of weeks now with back and neck pain and have had huge improvements. It’s very clean and has all Covid-19 precautions in place. Easy to get to and good parking outside the door. I would highly recommend.”
Ms. Gemma Shanahan
Tramore, Co Waterford
“Anthony has been treating me for years and years. First in Limerick where he originally had his business and now in Waterford. Anthony is the best in the business. Not only did he treat me for ongoing back pain, he also treated my brother who is a plumber with a serious back injury, but also treated my elderly mother who had Parkinson's disease and had ongoing neck pain. She trusted Anthony implicitly as we all did. Anthony is an expert who is constantly working on his skills and his craft and takes great pride in doing so. He is an innovator when it comes to pain relief. I am so grateful for all he did for my mother and my family. Nothing is more important than taking away the pain of a loved one and his ongoing care, expertise and diligence was a huge sense of relief to my mother and our family. We will always be indebted to Anthony. A gent through and through. With thanks, The Lynch Family.”
Mr. Richard Lynch
Limerick
"I contacted Anthony when the treatment I had been receiving for a leg injury wasn't working. By the time Anthony saw me, I was in a lot of pain and could hardly walk, as the pain was so intense. I was really shocked when Anthony told me that I had a bone out of place in my ankle. My first session provided me with pain relief and I saw an immediate improvement even after one session. Anthony was able to sort my ankle out after a few sessions and I only need further treatments as and when required. From the very beginning, Anthony put me at ease, and I found him to be very professional, thorough, and pleasant to deal with and I was very happy with the treatment that I received. I would have no hesitation in recommending Anthony to my friends and family and I would definitely use him again in the future."
Ms. Sarah Clohessy
Crecora, Co. Limerick
"Before meeting Anthony I had had two years of back problems, often unable to walk or stand for more than an hour without the aid of painkillers or some kind of physical support. I was 43 and at times felt like I was 70. I had always been very active and worst of all was the feeling that this was my future. I had tried everything and everybody possible, from GPs, to Physiotherapists, more exercise, less exercise and everything in between. After a particularly bad few weeks, I walked in to Anthony’s clinic unable to stand straight, with my right side completely collapsed over. I walked out of his clinic upright. After six sessions, at times and days that suited me and without needing to take time off work, I was pain free. I have not looked back. Any time I had an issue, Anthony saw me immediately but he worked with me over a period of time and slowly reversed all the damage I had done over the years. I have seen him for ‘maintenance’ as there is no way I am going back to where I came from. Not everyone takes this approach but I really recommend it. Now I can walk all day, every day if I want to, with no pain. I don’t even give it a second thought. And, for the times I go too far and do something silly, when I do need him, he is always there. The biggest thing for me, in addition to the treatment, is Anthony’s accessibility. He understands that when you are in pain, waiting for an appointment can mean putting your life on hold, which none of us like to do. This, in addition to his evening appointments, really sets him apart. Over the years many friends and family have also used Anthony and all have similar results."
Ms. Jacquie Doyle
Meelick, Co. Clare
"I became aware of a constant and getting worse pain in my shoulder. I estimate that I had the condition for about two years and the pain was now chronic, and a lot of simple daily activities were unpleasant. Worse, the biggest impact was at night and was a constant source of interrupted sleep. Exhaustion and frustration ruled. Finally, after doing some research on my condition I decided that I was in bad need of physio. During this research I came across the clinic in whose information pack I recognised the injury and I had and more importantly - that despite the length of time I had ignored the injury in the hope that it would ”go away”, it could in fact be cured by physio. Overtime I noticed that the physio sessions were beginning to have results: A little less pain after each couple of sessions - Greater and improving movement span in my shoulder and most important, improved sleep. I find Anthony most helpful and accommodating and prepared to answer any questions, which the patient might have in relation to his/her condition. As a consequence I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in need of physio."
Mr. Tom Barron
Corbally, Limerick
"A few months ago I attended Anthony with a number of injuries that had been troubling me for sometime. After a consultation, Anthony explained to me what the likely causes were. He treated me from that point, and within a very short time, I started to feel results in my back and neck that I knew were going to improve my everyday life. I had previously attended many physios and tried numerous other treatments that initially claimed to be the answer to all my problems, but after much money spent and lots of my valuable time wasted, I did not see any tangible results. I was beginning to feel that there was no possibility of improving on the situation until I started my treatment with Anthony. I have since made huge progress, and Anthony's very reasonable pricing and friendly and professional manner means that I will not hesitate to recommend him with the highest possible confidence into the future. Thanks Anthony for the great results !"
Mr. Keith O'Donoghue
Lisnagry, Co. Limerick
"I visited Anthony after trying and being disappointed by many other practitioners. I was truly 100% satisfied with the outcome. Back pain was completely gone. Anthony himself is a gentleman, easy going and puts you straight at ease. Comfortable clinic too."
Mr. Mark McGarry
Old Cratloe Road, Limerick
"I went to Anthony at his clinic in July 2011 with back pain. Anthony was very helpful and sorted out my back. When I needed him for help he was only a phone call away. I refer a lot of friends who found him very good. Thanks Anthony you are a back saviour."
Ms. Mary Byrnes
Caherdavin, Limerick
“I recently went to Anthony in the Advance Physio Clinic with a shoulder and hip injury. I couldn't exercise with my hip pain, even a walk hurt and my shoulder prevented me from getting a good night’s sleep. Anthony is excellent, he explained in detail how my spine and ribs were contributing to both problems, and after completing my program he has achieved amazing results. The pain in my hip is completely gone and my shoulder has full movement again which I struggled with for years. The digital photo of my spine showed how crooked I was going in and was almost at 100% straight on completion. The clinic has free parking right outside the door and the girls in reception are super friendly and helpful. Even with the covid restrictions I felt very safe there. I would highly recommend Anthony and his team.”
Ms. Clare Furlong
Waterford
“In summer 2020 I had pain radiating in my hips. I contacted Anthony and he immediately diagnosed the issue and set about a program that helped ease the pain and solve the nagging problem! Thankfully I’ve fully recovered and have had no problems since! Highly recommend this practice.”
Ms. Trisha Lonergan
Waterford
“I attended Anthony due to an issue with my lower back, hip and pelvis. I was in a lot of pain, and my mobility was hindered greatly. From the first session I could feel relief. After a few sessions the pain had subsided, I no longer needed pain relief. Thanks so much to the team in Advance Physio they were friendly and professional - where your ailments are heard and dealt with accurately. I would highly recommend Anthony and the team at Advance Physio.
Ms. Noranne Cahill

Ms. Laure Salvemini
Waterford
“I attended Advance Physio last year with back and sciatica pain. I had ongoing back pain with severe flare ups which would cause painful spasms, resulting in problems sleeping, and pain while driving, bending etc. Since completing the treatments, I have been pain-free for the first time in years and I'm very grateful to Anthony and the team.”
Ms. Tracey Lumley
Waterford
“Can’t recommend enough, I came to Anthony in mid 2020 with pains in my neck/shoulder, as I work in the service industry this was severely affecting work. Anthony made me feel extremely comfortable and had me back up and running within a few sessions. Kate was extremely friendly and efficient in getting me booked in and sorted quickly. Very reasonably priced and professional, thank you to the lads!”
Mr. Conor Freyne
Waterford
“I went to Advance Physio with a very bad back and leg problem, I could barely walk with it and as soon as I started the treatment, I was seeing results. it was a slow process but very worth it, I can walk again my back has no pain, the exercises given were very effective. I would definitely recommend them, very friendly people and very good at their job. Thank you.”
Ms. Jenya Kelly

Mr. Tom Sinnott

“Friends recommended Anthony when I told them of my shoulder and knee pain... I could hardly move my shoulder and my knee hurt from walking . . . Anthony gave professional and caring help and after a few visits, I'm good to go with no pain in either my knee or my shoulder (which I can move as normal!!) Thank you so much, Anthony. And Alma and Kate were also very welcoming and friendly.”
Ms. Anna Grace Heinzel

Mr. Dominick O’Brien
Waterford
“Went in more or less 1 year ago with severe neck/arm pain and after the treatment, today I am pain free and I am able to train my body and do whatever physical activity that I use to do before having that pain. After receiving the treatment, I can say even today that I feel great and have no pain at all. I highly recommend Advance Physio. Anthony is amazing at what he does and the staff are great also. Very professional and very efficient.”
Mr. Arnold Leka
Waterford
“I have attended Advance Physio Waterford several times and have received excellent help each time. The last time was when my neck and shoulder muscles were so tight that I had to take pain relieving medication to relieve the pain.
After one treatment by Anthony, the pain left within a few days. Months later, it has not returned.
I can highly recommend going to Anthony for any back or leg pain. The receptionist is very friendly and efficient, and will look after you very well.”
Mr. Daniel Yoder
Waterford
“I had ongoing knee pain and contacted Anthony about my injury. A very professional and friendly service and my knee was back to normal after a few sessions. I would highly recommend Advance Physio after my experience with them.”
Mr. Brian Atkins

“Very professional from start to finish. First session was great to diagnose my issue and treatments start straight after. Great service.”
Mr. David Cooley
Waterford
“I came to Advance Physio having injured my back. From the beginning I had confidence in Anthony’s approach to my problem. After a few treatments I was good as new and haven’t looked back since.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this practice. My late mother was a physio so I think I know professionalism when I see it!
Thank you all!”
Mr. Bill McConnell
Waterford
“Excellent treatment and very professional approach. Follow up was also very good by Anthony and his team.”
Mr. Aidan Deegan
Waterford
“I was suffering with lower back pain on and off for some time. I went to Anthony for treatment and after about 6 sessions, my back had improved greatly. If you’re suffering with back pain I would recommend giving Advance Physio Waterford a try.”
Mr. Freddie Robinson
Waterford
“I had hurt my lower back in my mid-teens, but had put up with it for years without ever having it seen to. I had been to other physiotherapists in my early twenties, but never seemed to make any progress. By the time I went to Advance Physio I had started to suffer from quite bad sciatica, which affected my ability to work/study and had also kept me sidelined from competing as a cyclist for a number of years. The initial screening was very comprehensive and the issue I had been suffering from (regarding alignment and stiffening of joints in my lumber and lower thoracic spine) was diagnosed straight away. This allowed for effective treatment to commence immediately. Despite the length of time I had been suffering from back problems, my sciatica symptoms were relieved within the first two to three weeks and I was back exercising within two months, which was a major change having spent the last two to three years struggling to string together any sort of routine without a relapse of symptoms. Major positives of the experience included a fast efficient service (I never found it took up much of my time and I was always seen to on time), I was given the opportunity to discuss my condition in depth and ask questions, which proved invaluable and not only helped me better understand what was causing my problem, but has also enabled me to manage my back and continue to improve long after receiving treatment from Anthony.”
Mr. Brendan Murphy
Waterford
“I went to Anthony with back and neck pain after a few treatments, I felt great. My son also went as he had hurt his knee in soccer training, and he also had remarkable results. I would highly recommend Advance Physio the staff are professional and accommodating and work around your schedule.”
Ms. Rebecca Ellickson
Waterford
“Advance Physio offers an excellent and reliable service. Anthony was very knowledgeable, efficient and thorough. I've had no recurrence of the issue since the treatment ended.

Ms. Angela Ryan
Waterford
“Excellent service, I would highly recommend Anthony and his team at Advance Physio. Professional and knowledgeable.”
Mr. Corwun O’Brien
Waterford
“I went to see Anthony in the Advance Physio Waterford with severe lower back pains. After a quick diagnosis and a very effective treatment plan, my back problems were sorted. Finally, Anthony gave some very useful tips and exercises to avoid lower back pain to re-occur. A very professional service by Anthony and his team.”
Mr. Bert Schneiders
Waterford
“I have had pain all my life from being born with an extra vertebra that caused many different issues with pain I have tried reiki, acupuncture, chiropractors, doctors and rheumatologists. All helped for a while or not at all - then I went to Anthony and after 12 sessions my pain had reduced considerably and that's where I'm at right now. I am off all opioids just using paracetamol for pain, it's the best outcome I have ever had and I can go to Anthony anytime I need to, thanks Anthony.”
Ms. Christine Browne
Waterford
“Advance Physio Waterford has a tremendous reputation over the past few years. Anthony & his team are very professional and give advice and treatment to their clients. I suffered from lower back problems, so I came to see Anthony and he did a full diagnosis.
After a few weeks of consultations I was back in action and feeling great.
I have kept up with the exercises prescribed on a daily basis, & I would definitely recommend his practice to anyone going through similar conditions as mine.”
Mr. Matthew Chumbley

Ms. Trudy Flynn, Stradbally
Co Waterford
“I attended Advance Physio with bad lower back pain that I had with years.it was causing me problems at work making exercise and simple things like walks difficult but after treatment from Anthony week by week got so much better that even now I feel like a different person. I can now get on with my life pain free. I would like to thank Anthony and staff and would highly recommend to anyone.”

Mr. Cian Sullivan
Waterford
“Fantastic treatment and amazing people. I was unable to work, walk or sit without pain, I
felt immediate improvement after the first session. After following sessions and doing the exercises I was soon back to work with no issues since. Some of the sessions may seem short but they definitely do the job. I would recommend Advance Physio Waterford to anyone. Thank you all so much!”
Mr. Alex Tootal
Portlaw, Co Waterford
“I had the regular aches and pains that you deal with on a daily basis but when I began to suffer from sciatica it was a different story altogether. I made an appointment with Anthony in Advance Physio who was recommended to me by my daughter as she had suffered awful pains and was cured by Anthony. People were telling me that sciatica could last a very long time but after two sessions in Advance Physio it was gone! I couldn't believe it. Then Anthony began to work on the other aches and pains that I had and has sorted all of them. I am now going to Anthony one session a month for maintenance. I highly recommend Anthony Alma and Kate for their pure professionalism and patient care. I am now living pain free thank God. And by the way I'm 70 years of age. No problem with parking as it's free which is also a bonus. Thank you. Robbie O’Keeffe.”
Mr. Robbie O’Keeffe
Waterford
“I have struggled with back pain most of my life. I had trouble sleeping, sitting down, walking, exercising… practically doing all the everyday things that other people do.
Anthony was able to sort me out to the point that I normally without pain can walk, swim, spend time outdoor with my family and lift up my toddler daughter.
Brilliant and professional service which I would highly recommend.
Big thanks to Anthony and the girls!”
Mr. Lovro Coric
Waterford
“I have just finished my treatment with Advance Physio Waterford. When I went to this practice I found getting out of bed so painful my back was stiff and sore and I was unable to get a full night's sleep. After my treatment, I am now sleeping all night with no pain or stiffness in the morning. It’s such a relief. Everyone in this practice is so professional and so friendly, I am so grateful to them all.”
Ms. Christine Tebay
Co Waterford
“I have attended Advance Physio for my neck and shoulder pain that I had for years. After an initial assessment, Anthony explained the cause of the pain. I could notice some improvement after couple of sessions and had a great pain relief at the end of my sessions. I had issues doing simple daily chores which were painful before treatment and now I'm so thankful for the team for their care towards me during my sessions. Highly recommend Advance Physio for anyone suffering with body pain.”
Ms. Sathya Thirumoorthy
Waterford
“Anthony and his staff are fantastic.
I can't recommend him highly enough. After months of incredibly painful back aches, he was able to show me a few exercises and work with my back which took the pain away. If I have any issues regarding aches and pains again, I will be heading to Advance Physio. Thanks again Anthony.”
Mr. Martin Haddow
Waterford
“I couldn't recommend Anthony and the Advance Physio staff any higher. After just a couple of weeks treatment I am currently pain free for the first time in months. Thanks Anthony and team.”
Mr. Kevin Kelly
Co. Waterford
“Anthony and his team provide a fantastic service. To begin with, everyone is so friendly in the clinic. I was suffering with severe back pain, which meant some mornings I was struggling to get out of bed. Within 3 sessions I started to feel some serious improvement. After a few more, I've been pain free. I'm delighted with the progress that's been made.”
Mr. Arran Murphy
Waterford
“When I hurt my lower back, I thought I was in for the long haul trying to get it sorted but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I met with Anthony and Kate at my first appointment and both of them talked me through everything from diagnosis to treatment and aftercare. After my first session, I was sore but from then on - it steadily improved and after a couple of weeks I was pain free and have not looked back. Anthony gave me exercises to do at home which helped and I still do them twice a day. Also, Anthony gives a little talk (about 15 mins) to newbies explaining the workings of the back and shows exercises to keep the back healthy. I would highly recommend this practice if you are having any back issues as Anthony and his team are very welcoming and knowledgeable about what they do.”
Ms. Deirdre Oates
Waterford
“After a broken upper calf and three surgeries with major stiffness and very weak leg muscles I visited Advance Physio. From the first treatment, I could already see improvement. After only six weeks, I don’t need my walking sticks anymore and I can go for a walk with my children to Winterval. I cannot thank Anthony and his great team enough for the best Christmas gift that I didn’t believe could happen.”
Mr. Pantelis Protopapas
Kilmacow, Co Kilkenny
“Highly recommend anyone to Advance Physio. They were very kind, caring and helped me with a major back problem in a quick amount of time and I have had no problems since. I Would be confident of any issue being resolved under Anthony's help.”
Mr. Gary Penkert
Waterford
“After birthing my child, I expected to start feeling better as the weeks were passing by but that wasn't the case - I was actually more in pain physically as the weeks were passing.
Ms. Alpha Kalela
Waterford
“Would recommend Advance Physio Waterford if suffering any type of back pain. They are very friendly and professional. When I suffered severe back pain Advance Physio Waterford offered an emergency appointment and a quick diagnosis. The treatment worked extremely well and I was back to full health within a couple of weeks.”
Mr. Anthony Clooney
Waterford
“I fell in the shower and hurt my back. I had extreme back pain when trying to walk or carry out simple household chores. Also, severe pain turning in bed. After several treatments the pain eased and eventually I was free from pain.”
Mr. Dickson Patterson
Waterford
“Great company so helpful and excellent service. I would highly recommend them if you have any back pain or leg pain.”
Mr. Owen Ryan

“The Advance Physio team did a wonderful job at sorting out the back pains and headaches I was dealing with. Very informative process throughout. Great people to work with.”
Mr. Duane Yoder
Waterford
“First time I came into Advance Physio, I couldn't walk and had a curved spine, my right leg was numb and I had really bad back pain. That left me with no other option, then to call emergency but after my wife found this clinic, I had to give it a chance. After the very first session, I felt much better which gave me hope, after attending all sessions I can say that back pain never happened to me again. Anthony is a magician and I love his work, and the service is excellent, even though you might think it’s only 10mins, but that got me back on my feet. A big thank you to the staff and Mr. Anthony."
Mr. Denis Onofrei
Waterford
“4 weeks into treatment for a chronic long term shoulder condition and the transformation is absolutely miraculous. Pain is significantly reduced and there's no doubt that day to day my quality of life has been transformed. This is especially impressive as my previous physio exasperated the injury. And it is so easy to unintentionally make it worse. After every treatment with Advance Physio there are measurable improvements and I'm daring to think it may completely recover. This was unimaginable less than 4 weeks ago. Treatment is not complete - I'll update this review when it is. However, I've absolutely no hesitation in recommending Advance Physio. They are friendly, professional and extremely effective at what they do.”
Ms. Jo Parsons
Waterford
“When I started with Anthony I had chronic back and leg pain. After a short few sessions, I noticed great improvement and I am still improving every day. Anthony did a full assessment and diagnosis and gave me exercises to do every day at home. This has made a huge difference to my well-being. I can’t thank Anthony and Kate enough for all the Excellent care and attention.”
Ms. Audrey O’Neill
Waterford
“Excellent service from Anthony, Kate & Alma at Advance Physio -always so welcoming and my son’s back is back to normal now. Highly recommend!”
Ms. Sinead Kinsella
Waterford
“I have suffered with chronic lower back pain for a long time, but a few months ago it got so bad, that I could not sleep at night because of the pain, had to take lots of medications, miss work few times and stop exercise altogether. Only few weeks into the first cycle of treatment with Anthony and I felt so much better and by the end of it, the pain was gone. He also recommended a couple of exercises to do at home. My posture improved a lot as shown in my last posture analysis. I haven't taken painkillers in months now and I am finally able to start exercising again. Anthony was honestly a great help. Kate and Alma are lovely and very helpful. I recommended Anthony to my partner too for a bulging disc issue, he started few days ago the treatment and he is already feeling an improvement in his symptoms. Thanks again Anthony, Kate and Alma.”
Ms. Federica Cossu
Waterford
“Had a bulging disc in my lower back, my doctor recommended Advance Physio. Anthony and Kate were great. After 4 sessions, I am pain free and back to my old self. They were very professional and fixed my problem. I would definitely recommend them to anyone with back problems. Thanks Anthony and Kate.”
Mr. Anthony Horan
Slieverue, Co Kilkenny
“I suffer with arthritis in my knees for 20 years and they got worse as time went on. Very limited with what I could do. I used to do a lot of exercises and had to stop because it got worse as time went on, to the point where I couldn't even run to catch the bus. I was told I needed both knees replaced and was going to be put on a waiting list. I decided to do something about this, so I contacted Advance Physio and after the first treatment I was walking more confidently and instead of using knee supports - Anthony used tape just below the knee. I couldn't believe what I was experiencing. With follow-up sessions, I am moving more confidently and I am able to go up and down the stairs easily, this was an effort before. I would highly recommend Anthony to anyone who may be thinking about using physiotherapy in the future.”
Mr. Desi Flynn
Waterford
“Simply the best. I had a sharp lower back pain for over a year which turned out to be sciatica. After a few sessions, the pain was gone. Anthony was really clear and easy to understand when sharing information about my problem and how to avoid it in the future. Staff are great, very friendly and extremely professional. There are sufficient parking spaces available, which is very helpful. Price is fair.”
Mr. Rogerio Sandim
Mooncoin, Co Kilkenny
“I went in to meet Anthony with a pulled neck muscle that seemed to be happening regularly over the past few years. I’d been to physios before to get it treated when it was sore, but it never lasted. Anthony did a full assessment and instead of doing a quick fix, wanted to try fix the problem long term so he came up with a treatment plan. It’s been a month since I started and the pain has decreased almost to nothing and my movement is 100 times better. I still have a few more sessions to go but I can’t wait to see the final outcome. I can’t thank Anthony and Kate enough for all the care and attention and their friendly yet professional attitude.”
Ms. Katie Breen
Waterford
“Can’t recommend enough, really friendly professional staff. Anthony got rid of my hip, back and neck pain in a matter of a few sessions, I feel so much relief and no pain.”
Ms. Rachel Bolger
Waterford
“I went to Anthony with a long-term ankle and lower back issue. The pain previously had been unbearable at times and kept me from playing sports.
After a few weeks of treatment, I am once again playing and enjoying football. On top of this, there are many examples of little things I wouldn’t have been able to do - which I can again.
I couldn’t recommend Anthony enough! Thanks so much.”
Mr. Sean Darcy
Waterford
“I was suffering with a lot of pain for many years due to years of pulling and dragging in work. I cannot recommend Anthony highly enough. It has been only a couple of weeks and I'm truly amazed at the improvement in my body. This guy truly knows his stuff and I cannot thank him enough. The team Anthony has are highly efficient and so nice to deal with. 10 /10.”
Ms. Gayle Slattery
Waterford
“I learned of Advance Physio Waterford from reading all the reviews from people who have attended. I would like to share my experience of Advance Physio Waterford.
From the moment I rang to book an appointment this has been a life changer for me. I suffered for over 10 years with chronic back pain, soreness, stiffness, frustration, more sleepless nights then I care to remember, never ending prescriptions of anti-inflammatory drugs, gels, injections, MRI, back clinics, numerous consultants in private hospitals -everything.
At the point of giving up and accepting my faith I came across this wonderful place. From the minute you walk in the door you are treated with kindness, understanding and respect. Kate's professionalism is second to none. After my first consultation with Anthony, he diagnosed my problem and set about a program of treatment dedicated to my particular problem.
The progress I have made is simply astounding. No pain at all. No soreness or stiffness after exercise, it truly is remarkable.
It is not easy as you have to put in the work at home as well but Anthony gives you the tools to do this. I now have an understanding of my back and how to care for it that I never had before and this is priceless.
Anthony is a gentleman and an absolute pleasure to deal with. This guy really is superb. If you read this review don't suffer like I did for years, go out and see for yourself. I only wish I had the chance to go to Anthony years ago.”
Mr. Clifton Power
Waterford
“Absolutely fantastic!!!! I’ve had back pain for years, to the point where I would be on my hands and knees with pain, simple things like putting on shoes I couldn't manage, I was struggling both mentally and physically and luckily, I got an appointment for Advance Physio Waterford and that's when things started to change for me and for the better. You’re greeted with a warm, friendly smile at reception and a relaxed comfortable atmosphere. Your treatment starts and in my case the road to recovery, after a few short weeks I’m a different person mentally and physically. I can look forward to enjoying life again. I would highly recommend Advance Physio Waterford. Thank you Anthony.”
Mr. Niall Egan
Piltown, Co Kilkenny
“I got great relief from long term back pain in the short space of a few weeks at Advance Physio. Anthony and Kate were always friendly, flexible and professional. I would highly recommend.”
Mr. Francis Ward
Enfield, Co Meath
“Top class service by Anthony on my 15-year-old son’s rugby injury. We were worried it could be the ACL but thankfully it wasn’t. Anthony explained everything in everyday language, relieved the pain over a short course of treatments and advised on exercises to strengthen the ligament. I would strongly recommend Advance Physio.”
Ms. Geraldine Dermody
Mullinavat, Co Kilkenny
“I had a back injury in December where my lower back got hurt.
I had trouble walking, sitting and even sleeping in the beginning.
Advance Physio’s team was very fast to see me for my initial appointment where an assessment and the first treatment was made!
I felt immediate relief after the first treatment.
Throughout all my follow up treatments, Anthony always been engaged with me, was professional and always ensured I understood what the treatment was and how it would resolve my problem.
Words can't describe how amazing I feel after my treatment in Advance Physio!
Kudos to Kate at the reception who always made sure to accommodate my booking requests!
I would give 10 stars if the option was available!”
Mr. Igor Kelava
Waterford
“Clean clinic, well organized, very friendly.
I had a good response regarding my back pain.”
Mr. Mohammed Alkhalifa

“Visited Anthony with lower lumbar pain after a light injury. After the initial consultation and 2 follow up treatments, the condition was fully reversed. Anthony also provided a series of suggested exercises to continue as a preventative measure. I found the whole process very easy and both he and Kate offer a very friendly, welcoming and most importantly an effective experience.”
Mr. Keith O’Sullivan

“I had a fantastic experience while attending Advance Physio. Anthony's expertise & knowledge helped me recover from my injury very quickly. Time was taken to listen to my concerns & address them accordingly with a kind and gentle approach.
Kate was a pleasure to be greeted by & time management was never an issue attending any appointment, you knew there was never going to be a half hour wait due to a backlog throughout the day.
Everything is so well run within the facility and a pleasure to attend.
Thanks Advance Physio for all your help. Marie”

Ms. Sofia Tomeckova

“After 25 years plus of neck and back pain, having different therapies and medications Advance Physio Waterford was recommended to me by my GP. My first appointment was in October 2023, after a few weeks I began to have less pain and my movement was improving. This had a knock-on effect in my daily life i.e. sleeping better, less medication and able to get through a day without being in acute pain. I would without hesitation recommend Anthony, he has given me a quality of life I didn't think was possible. I would also like to thank Kate; she is so welcoming and obliging when it comes to appointments etc.”
Ms. Angela Deasy
Waterford
“I have had issues with long-standing back pain and Anthony was recommended to me. I am so grateful to have been treated by him and delighted that my troublesome lumbar and thoracic back pain has abated after several sessions. Anthony is very personable and a highly competent and effective therapist. I felt very confident in his management and all the gentle reassuring advice. I’m really glad I kept going with the plan; as each session brought a bit more improvement slowly but surely. I am now able to exercise again and have much greater flexibility and movement.
Kate the secretary could not have been more helpful and kind with bookings etc. and I enjoyed our chats.
One very satisfied customer. Thank you.”
Ms. Lorraine Horton
Waterford
“Have gone to Anthony for two running injuries and after a few sessions, each time I was back running with no issues! The care and attention Anthony takes to get to the root of the problem on the first visit is super and likewise with the treatment to follow. No issues with getting appointments in the evenings or with short notice either - thanks Kate! I have and will continue to recommend Advance Physio to anyone I know with aches and pains!”
Ms. Esther Varley

“Both Anthony and Kate were very welcoming from my first appointment onwards. Anthony is adept with troubleshooting to determine the problem and works on it as soon as possible. Would highly recommend, and they are very accommodating and always contactable which is a nice personal touch.”
Mr. Sean O’Keeffe

“I can only highly recommend Anthony ! When I first came to Advance Physio I could barely walk! I had shooting pain down to my leg for a couple of months and nothing was helping.
Anthony helped me so much! It took a few appointments for me but the only thing I regret - is that I didn’t go to him sooner. I am fully back to my every day activities without any pain. Thank you very much.”
Ms. Esther Varley

“Great service and efficient. Would highly recommend.”
Mr. Kevin Allen
Waterford
“I had pain in my lower back & hip for a few months. It was painful to even get dressed and really bothered me while playing tennis. A work colleague recommended Anthony in Advance Physio. On the first visit he identified the issue and recommended a dozen sessions to resolve the problem. I am now completely pain free and I have no hesitation in recommending Advance Physio. Also, a shout out to Kate in reception, always very friendly & professional.”
Mr. Aidan Hackett
Waterford
“My experience with Advance Physio has been great. I had already visited a number of practices to deal with ongoing back pain. And while they provided short term relief, it always came back as bad as ever. I happened to be on holiday in the South East and looked up what was available there. I started treatment in August 2024 and finished in December and I have none of the back pain I used to have. Thanks so much to Anthony and Kate who run a very professional and effective service. Pat.”
Mr. Patrick Kenny
New Orchard, Kilkenny
“After birthing my child, I expected to start feeling better as the weeks were passing by but that wasn't the case - I was actually more in pain physically as the weeks were passing.
At my 6 weeks postpartum checkup, my GP suggested a physiotherapist. At 8 weeks postpartum I was in severe pain basic things like walking, dressing myself, getting off the bed, sitting down or getting up became very difficult for me so I told myself that it's about time I find myself a physiotherapist. I then conducted my own research and I came across Advance Physio. I went in not knowing what the issue was that I need to be treated for. All I could tell them was I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN - so Anthony and his team helped to identify the problem.
I was diagnosed with spinal shift. This happens in pregnancy due to the weight of carrying the fetus, so I commenced my treatment on the same day and after just 3/12 sessions the pain dropped by 85%. I can now carry on with my daily routines such as walking, dressing myself, sitting down or getting up without grunting! All thanks to Anthony and his team. Alma and Kate are so friendly.
At Advance Physio they don't just treat your problems but they also educate you about your body. Anthony explained to me about the spine and its elements. That gave me a clearer picture on what I was dealing with, which I think helps the healing process in your mind.
I strongly and highly recommend Advance Physio.”
