It’s time to achieve your optimal health and function

Please arrive at least 5min before your appointment as our practitioners do aim to treat on time. If this is your first visit you are asked to arrive 15min early as you will be required to fill out your new patient paperwork. This helps our team get to know you a little better.

On occasion the care being provided for our patients may require a practitioner to run a little over the stated appointment time.

There is parking when you drive into the practice.
Please note, to access the practice car park, you will need to enter Selby Street via Cambridge Street as there is an island in the middle of the road.
There is also parking on Newry Street.

Damaged muscles collect waste which can act as pain producing toxins in your body. During your treatment these chemicals are released out of the soft tissues and into the blood. Your body then begins the process of removing them. As a result you may feel tired, slightly nauseous or you may experience a headache. The best way to assist your body in eliminating those toxins is by drinking a glass of water every hour.

  Note that tea and coffee can inhibit this process and dehydrate the body

Yes, we are a pay on the day clinic. Our clinic has HICAPS for your convenience.

There is no simple answer to this question. The rate of recovery does differ for each individual. We would strongly recommend you follow the advice given to you by your practitioner who is the best person to tailor your treatment plan.

If you are a current client at Health Central and your Practitioner has recommended the use of the equipment, then you may use the clinic machines during any of our opening hours.

Soft tissue occupational therapists will utilise both standardised and non-standardised orthopaedic assessments to professionally and correctly diagnose a wide range of injuries, illnesses and conditions.

Soft tissue occupational therapists implement myofascial therapy techniques which improve circulation, remove scar tissue and increase neuro-muscular function.  This therapy technique will also reduce pain and improve your strength and mobility.

Your soft tissues contain chemicals which are nerve sensitising substances. In treatment sessions these chemicals are released which can stimulate the nerve endings, hence the reason you may at times feel some discomfort.

Health Central occupational therapists work in the area of soft tissue and take a more holistic approach to their treatment. They want to understand what causes the pain, what might be affecting your rate of healing and how the therapy they provide will best fit into your lifestyle. They will individually tailor your treatment plan to meet your specific health needs.

Health Central Occupational Therapy International is a private practice with a team of health professionals all of whom are held in high regard within the industry for their expertise in the treatment of soft tissue.

Although the benefits to be had from soft tissue occupational therapy are becoming increasingly well known within the community, it remains a relatively under-appreciated area within allied health. We are doing all we can to ensure this important area of health care continues to develop and expand into the future and we’d love your help in getting the word out.

If you think you’ve benefited from the treatments you have received and are happy with the service we’ve provided,  your recommendation to family & friends would be a much appreciated compliment
