BackAware Physio Services

BackAware Physio Services is at Springmount on the Waterford Road in Smithsland South, Kilkenny, so you can visit the practice in person. Ask which surrounding areas it serves and whether home visits are available as well as clinic appointments. It also helps to check the journey and parking before your first visit.

A physiotherapist in Ireland has to be registered with CORU, the regulator for the profession, and you can check the register online before you book. Ask the practice to confirm the physiotherapist is on the relevant professional register, and ask about their training and experience with the problem you need help with.

Before the first session, ask what the appointment includes, how long it lasts, and whether you will be given exercises to do at home. Ask how your history and movement are assessed and how a treatment plan is explained. Also ask your health insurer whether it reimburses physiotherapy, as that is usual to check in Ireland.

You can book BackAware Physio Services by phone, through its website or through its Locufy page. When you get in touch, say what the problem is, how long you have had it, and whether you have a referral or recent scan results. You can also ask what to wear and bring to the first session.

Ask the practice whether it takes a deposit, how payment is taken, and what its cancellation policy is before you book. It is usual in Ireland for a clinic to ask for notice if you cannot attend, so ask how much notice is needed and whether a late cancellation is charged. It helps to have the answers in writing.
