PREP Physio

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Murillo. His Knowledge and professionalism are outstanding, and they explain everything in a way that makes it easy to follow and stay motivated.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to many physios over the years, but Murillo stands out as exceptional. He obviously has a deep knowledge of the body with an approach that gets straight to the root of the problem. On two separate occasions I came to him with issues that had been nagging me for weeks, and through his highly skilled deep tissue massage work he not only relieved the pain but also restored full function. I am bad a stretching and always get injuries and strains. His technique is firm, precise, and hugely effective, you feel you’re in the hands of someone experienced and genuinely invested in helping you get better. Murillo is excellent. He doesn’t just work on the pain, he actually explains what’s caused the problem, what he’s doing to fix it, and what you need to do so it doesn’t come back. He’s already sorted two issues for me with proper deep tissue work, and I’ve felt the benefit straight away. He knows his stuff, but he’s also really easy to talk to, which makes the whole thing much easier. If you need a physio who actually gets results, he’s the man.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Murillo for a few months now and am incredibly happy with the results. He is one of the few physiotherapists who really listens and then designs the session based on what is said and what the tests show. Not a single session has felt like a routine review, but specifically focused on building results. For me, it's not about healing an injury but optimizing the body and I can say that the results I've had so far make me wonder why I didn't get on with this a long time ago. Professionalism - 5 Stars Quality - 5 Stars

Fantastic experience: I had been having back problems for years and went to multiple physios who were not able to solve the problem. After one trip to Laura she identified through taking a data drive approach and strength testing multiple parts of my body that there was an imbalance on my right hand side. After 4 weeks of following a detailed strength plan I was pain free for the first time in years and was back playing football when I thought I was retired.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Murillo for a few months now and I am beyond satisfied with the progress! We are doing deep tissue sports massages on my neck, upper back and arms - after each massage I feel better! Murillo is very thorough and you can see that he is very knowledgable. What I love the most is that he remembers everything - what we did the previous time and what we agreed we will do for the next one. I would recommend Murillo to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Murillo at PREP Physio! I had reached out to him earlier this year hoping he could help with severe lower back pain. I was so happy with the treatment! I've done a total of 3 sessions with him, and he also recommended exercises to do at home in between sessions. By the end of the third massage, the pain had gone and I had re-gained full mobility in my back. Before each massage, Murillo would take the time to explain the nature of my injury, any progress made, and what he would focus on during the session. I've always felt incredibly heard by Murillo, and left each session feeling satisfied with the results. I would definitely recommend Murillo for sports therapy- you will hardly find a professional more knowledgeable, kind and patient than him!

Fantastic experience: As well as being informative, Murillo is great at what he does. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of PREP Physio for a year now and have had excellent professional care from Laura Bhreathnach. From assessment to deep tissue massage to her targeted exercise program, issues have cleared up. She is also a great Pilates instructor. I will continue to avail of Laura’s services as the need arises. Highly recommended. Emer O’Reilly-Hyland

Fantastic experience: 10/10 Highly recommend the Sports Massage w/ Murillo and Physio w/ Laura! Been back multiple times for different reasons (desk job/ tension/ tennis pain). I have tried other places before but Prep Physio is a different level - professional, extremely knowledgeable, and most importantly EFFECTIVE.

Fantastic experience: I had major spinal surgery and while successful, my rehabilitation was very slow. Someone suggested I go to Laura, who has experience with post spinal surgery patients. Best decision I made. Within three months she had strengthen what needed to be strengthened and, equally important, built up my confidence to get back to Golf and Tennis. She really is an excellent Physiotherapist. Extremely knowledgable, professional and even manages to make it enjoyable. I have recommended her to a number of people and all, without exception, are delighted with her.

Fantastic experience: Laura is a fantastic teacher of Pilates for golf. Every class has variety and increases the difficulty on each part of the body. She is enthusiastic, encouraging, fun and we know she is always looking out for us.

Fantastic experience: Laura runs the best pilates class I've ever attended. Every class has something new or a fresh challenge so remains interesting.

Fantastic experience: Laura is an excellent Pilates instructor…goes with every individual’s pace without inhibiting those who are more able. Clear communications and a hands (or knees) on approach when needed to guide and instruct…The best classes I have ever attended…thank you Laura

Fantastic experience: I'm truly excited and grateful for Laura's exceptional, thorough, and fantastic work as a highly professional physiotherapist. I had been struggling with a knee injury for several months, and ever since I began attending sessions at PREP, Laura invested time to deeply understand my injury and developed a personalized, tailored recovery plan. I'm delighted to say that the results have consistently surpassed my highest expectations. I greatly appreciate Laura's attentive care and her detailed instructions. Without hesitation, I would recommend PREP to anyone dealing with an injury!

Fantastic experience: Laura Breathnach is an outstanding physio who runs her clinic from Ballsbridge. As a patient with recurring back problems I have been hugely impressed by the effectiveness of her treatment. She is highly qualified in her area of expertise, and so was able very speedily to diagnose what was causing my back pain and take me though a treatment and exercise regime that worked like a treat. Her personable friendly manner is highly professional, she is a delight to deal with. Laura is an excellent physio, I am delighted to recommend her

Fantastic experience: Laura took her time to thoroughly exam me and understood the underlying issue of my pain. Her plan was easy to follow and I have been pain free since working with her for a couple of weeks. Highly recommend PREP Physio.

Fantastic experience: Laura is an exceptional physiotherapist! She is incredibly knowledgeable and approaches your concerns with genuine care. She takes the time to understand your unique situation and doesn't just offer a one-size-fits-all solution. I love that she uses data and measurements to track progress, it is very motivational to see the results of your hard work. I had upper back pains for as long as I remember myself and no professional could previously help me with it. Laura discovered all the imbalances and created a step-by-step strength programme that was feasible and fun to do. She constantly updated exercises based on my progress. I am not done with my programme yet but I already feel so much stronger and my back is not bothering me that much anymore. Definitely recommended for a visit!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Laura for her outstanding expertise and extensive experience in physiotherapy. Her unwavering commitment to patient well-being is evident in every session, and her effective treatment plans have been instrumental in my recovery.

Fantastic experience: I attended my first session with Murillo last week as I had a lot of neck and shoulder problems. My range of motion was very restricted on one side and was causing a lot of tension. After one session with Murillo I could feel such a difference, and I felt like a weight had been lifted of my neck and shoulders, my range of motion was much better and I felt no tension in my upper back. I had been to a lot of physio’s with this problem but I never felt this good after just one session. I will definitely be booking another follow up session with Murillo.

Fantastic experience: I have had a long standing problem with my neck, left shoulder and left arm. I had physio with Murillo and he managed to relieve the pain which is something other physicians have been unable to do. I will definitely be returning. Could not recommend him more highly. Excellent at what he does.

Fantastic experience: Laura is just an amazing pilates instructor - loved every class

Fantastic experience: Never experienced anything like this from a sports massage! Had a session recently with Murrilo following a recommendation. I've had upper back pain for years following an old accident. Murrilo was determined to get to the root of the pain and figure out the best way to treat it. He explained where/ why I was having referred pain etc and how he was going to try to release it. This was the first time I got any real relief from physio/ massage. It was followed up with exercises I could do at home to help strengthen the muscles. Can't recommend Murrilo highly enough. And I have been to alot of phyisos over the years. I finally found something that worked!

Fantastic experience: I've attended Murillo for a sports massage after I've sprained my ankle playing basketball. He helped me to speed up the recovery using kinesiology tape and exercise rehabilitation. I felt way better straight after the treatment, great experience.

Fantastic experience: I can't remember the specific problem that first brought me to Laura's door, but I keep going back, whether for general maintenance (she is a wizard with needles) or to repair damage I've done to myself (currently a torn rotator cuff). Her knowledge is immense and her professionalism shines through.

Fantastic experience: I am currently undergoing treatment for a cartilage tear in my knee . I have to tell you Laura's rehab has gotten me from a situ where I could only walk with difficulty, 7 weeks ago, to a position where I am now looking forward to playing golf again within the next 3 weeks. The exercises were most beneficial in building muscle where I needed it to protect myself from further injury . Might I add I am had polio as a child and have only 1 good leg,my right. Unfortunately that was the leg I injured. As a 67 year old this undertaking was not easy for Prep Physio but the programme was one that pushed me but boy am I glad.. I now walk again for 40 mins daily and will be tramping the golf course again very soon. But now I will be pursuing my happy, happy I the knowledge that doing my exercises I'm protecting myself totally from injury. Thank you Laura and Prep Physio. Jim Walsh
