Elite Physiotherapy & Pilates Clinic, Ashtown

Fantastic experience: I had two simultaneous injuries, one affecting everyday life and the other when I ran and both were remedied through Emma's treatment and exercise programme which enabled me to run the half marathon for which I had signed up. A real asset for the area to have.

Fantastic experience: For quite some time I had lower back pain to a point where I couldn’t tie my shoelaces without pain. Based on the very positive reviews I went to Emma and she helped me a lot. After three sessions (including one acupuncture) with her the pain is gone. Her hands have the ability to „see“ what is wrong with the Body. Emma is also offering Pilates classes which I can highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Emma is so lovely and more importantly so good, she pushes you to try harder, but is kind with it, which is especially important for me trying to build core muscles from what feels like scratch?!?! Pilates has been life-changer, as is amazing how such small movements can make such a huge difference. It is helping me build strength and resilience to enable more exercise. Emma is great at explaining the different moves, as focus is always on form and doing the movement properly, so you feel in very safe hands (she is qualified physio too and I can highly recommend her for that too!). We’re so fortunate to have this level of expertise locally, am very grateful for that - thank you!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Emma over the years with numerous injuries,sorted me out quickly everytime,1 particular injury where I was barely able to walk or sleep due to back pain,which turned out to be sciatica,got me back on my feet in a few weeks Always courteous and professional and would highly recommend Also her pilates class is excellent and keeps challenging you,Emma keeps it very interesting by varying the class each week

Fantastic experience: This physio led pilates class is class. Fantastic instructor, great vide, really good stretching and core strengthing and a bit of laughs also.. highly recommended

Fantastic experience: "I've been attending Pilates with Emma for a few months now, and the difference it has made in my life is truly amazing. I feel so much stronger and healthier since starting the classes, and I genuinely look forward to Wednesdays—it’s my chance to reset, recharge, and prepare my body for the week ahead. Emma creates such a positive and supportive environment. Highly recommended!"

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this physio-led Pilates class that really focuses on pelvic floor and core stability—and honestly, it’s been such a game changer. The instructor is a physiotherapist, so everything we do has a purpose and is super safe. She explains things in a way that actually makes sense, especially when it comes to those deep core muscles and how to properly engage the pelvic floor (which, let’s be real, most of us don’t think about until something feels off). The vibe in the class is really welcoming and supportive—no pressure, no judgment, just a bunch of people working on building strength from the inside out. There are always options to scale things up or down depending on how you're feeling that day, and she’s great at giving little tips or corrections that make a big difference. Since starting, I’ve noticed I feel stronger, more stable, and way more aware of how I move—especially in my hips and lower back. Plus, I’ve got better posture without even trying that hard. If you’re looking to strengthen your core, improve posture, or just reconnect with your body (especially after having a baby or dealing with back issues), I can’t recommend this class enough.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Emma’s Pilates classes. The classes feel really well planned and Emma is a great teacher! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Never been to a better Pilates class. Delivered with energy and good humour and makes me feel I could do anything

Fantastic experience: Recently I needed to have physio for a back problem. My physiotherapist recommended Pilates to help ease my pain. I have now had eight sessions and I would recommend it to anyone. Noticed a huge difference in mobility and overall everyday movements! . Emma is great, makes you feel very welcome and creates lovely atmosphere. I’ve already signed up for the next 4 weeks and I am looking forward to it.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Physiotherapist. I am a marathon runner and developed an issue with my hip. I seriously thought my marathon days were over. After a few sessions with Emma I am back running with no issues. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Pilates classes with Emma were great exercise and real fun, exactly what I needed to manage my back problems. Her passion and dedication could be clearly felt during the classes, and the way she paid attention to and corrected all my mistakes was remarkable. Love the way she encourages the team from start to finish. Melissa

Fantastic experience: I attended physio with my daughter with a damaged foot and she was unable to walk After a number of classes with Emma my daughter is now perfect and able to walk 5 k a day .Thank you Emma you changed my daughters life Highly recommend Emma Catherine

Fantastic experience: Emma is a literal life saver. I had been in pain for years and within a few sessions she had me sorted. Excellent at holding me accountable for my progress and showing me how to do particular exercises. Overall I recommend Emma to anyone I know who needs a physio.

Fantastic experience: Emma is a great physiotherapist.

Fantastic experience: Very nice and patient doctor.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best in the business! I brought my daughter to Emma in January after being to other physios, with pains in her ankles, knees and hips. The pain was bad enough that she had to give up her sports training for the best part of a year. Emma took her time finding out what was causing the pain and from that, came up with a rehab programme. Now six months later my daughter is pain free and back playing both football & camogie. None of this would have being possible without Emma’s incredible knowledge and experience.

Fantastic experience: I have struggled for a number of years with calf issues and have found any and all other forms of clearing up the injury have not worked for me. Emma's expertise in dry needling has given me great relief and I have made noticeable improvements in a short space of time. I would not hesitate to recommend this physio practice to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Emma is a professional, experienced and kind physiotherapist. I have visited different physios and Emma really stands out. I recently visited her for some back problems and significantly improved. She would always start with careful questions and diagnoses; she is very thorough in her approach and if I have any follow up questions, she was responsive and checked in with me. I can’t remember her enough!

Fantastic experience: I totally recommend Elite physiotherapy clinic, Emma was my Physio. She treated my lower back pain, she is very knowledgeable, very professional, answered all my questions, and made significant difference in my back.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, really helped me when I needed it. Really accommodating and positive. Couldn't recommend more.

Fantastic experience: Emma, helped me build mobility back into my ankle after an unfortunate break this year. I will be using Emma for any future Physio needs going forward. Her attention to detail and clear advice in my opinion expedited my recovery. Thank you Emma

Fantastic experience: Emma has treated me for a number of injuries this year. She has always been very accommodating when making her appointments with me, often opening up the clinic on a day she had not intended working. She set me rehab exercises to do and I did them religiously (she will know if you don’t do them). Emma encouraged me to consider using HRT explaining that the drop in oestrogen can have a loading on your joints. Without her encouragement, support and expertise I would not feel as good as I do now. I would highly recommend her services.

Fantastic experience: Emma is a fantastic physio especially if you have back problems. Accurate diagnosis and treatment for an issue missed by my previous physio got me back moving in quick time.

Fantastic experience: I've been recommending Emma to all my friends and family since visiting her in August. I went to Emma first for lower back pain that had been going on for 3 months -I'd had medical treatment but was still needing pain relief almost daily. Within 3 sessions with Emma, I was almost 100% better! Even after the first week with Emma, I was so much improved. I should never have put up with the pain so long. Emma is really professional and knowledgeable. She is so caring and easy to talk to and I love that she provides a very holistic approach. As well as doing back massage/adjustments and giving me exercises, Emma also recommended vitamin supplements and getting a different type of shoe. I felt really well cared for and the treatments worked. I 100% recommend her and will be back to her if I ever have pain again in the future. Thank you Emma!

Fantastic experience: I was treated by Emma in Elite, she came recommended to me. She was excellent, so knowledgeable and thankfully she resolved the issue without me having to refer for injections (which my GP was very impressed with as he had said I might need them!). Thanks Emma, I would highly recommend you

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Emma highly enough! I had a physio appointment regarding a back injury which I was able to book easily and get surprisingly fast. Emma was fantastic, knew exactly what needed to be done. We did some techniques after which I could feel an instant improvement. She also gave me a few easy excercises to do at home. She clearly demonstrated how to perform these and I must confess I'm feeling the better both after my visit and the home excercises. Brilliant job!

Fantastic experience: I cannot express my gratitude enough for the incredible care I received from Emma at Elite Physiotherapy. I was suffering from severe pain in my left leg and ankle, and it was affecting my daily life. After just two sessions with Emma, I experienced a remarkable improvement in my condition. Emma's expertise, personalized treatment, and compassionate approach made all the difference in my recovery. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of physiotherapy. Thank you, Emma!

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Emma enough and for going the extra mile for me. I had been suffering a long time with my back, and I just put it down to wear and tear. After 2 visits with Emma, she knew there was something more to it, and referred me for an MRI, and I now know I require an operation on my back and now on my journey for that procedure. I would have never of known if it wasn't for Emma pushing for for an MRI, sending a referral to my GP. I will be recommending Emma to everyone needing treatment.

Fantastic experience: Emma is excellent. She diagnosed and treated my injury and gave me follow up exercises to build my strength back up. I have recommended Emma to friends and family. Thank you so much Emma.

Fantastic experience: Lower back injury sorted after two sessions. Emma did a great job. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. I went to Elite Physio for two separate issues - a shoulder impingement and patellar tendonitis. Emma was very efficient at the scheduling and even let me know of cancellations if I needed something sooner. Sally and Roisin treated me and my experience was of caring, friendly, and very capable professionals. Both my issues are clearing up nicely now with their recommended exercises. Their COVID protocols are good and their offices clean and well-run. Hopefully nothing else goes wrong but if it does then they'll be the first people I contact! Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: Went there for a small issue with calf, got great treatment and advice. Roisín was the physio that my appointment was with. I got what I wanted the session in terms of diagnosis, return to play timeframe, along with exercises for rehab so was really happy with the treatment. Thanks again

Fantastic experience: After a sudden and debilitating running injury which left me struggling to walk, Emma accurately diagnosed the cause and prescribed exercises to rehabilitate me. After 2 weeks, I was running again. She followed up with exercises to strengthen & prevent recurrence. I'd recommend Elite Physio without hesitation. Thanks Emma; I'm so grateful!

Fantastic experience: Great physio. Friendly atmosphere. Emma was very knowledgeable. Provided great treatment and great follow up exercises that were really effective. Highly recommend.
