Additional Treatments & Techniques
“Empowering our clients in their own healing process”
At BodyRight Physio, we complement traditional physiotherapy with a wide range of evidence-based treatments designed to reduce pain, speed recovery, and restore natural movement.
All treatments are delivered by Chartered Physiotherapists using safe, sterile, and scientifically supported methods.
Acupuncture
Originally developed in traditional Chinese medicine and now widely used in Western healthcare, acupuncture involves inserting fine, sterile, single-use needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain, improve circulation, and promote healing.
Most clients experience little to no discomfort — in fact, many find it relaxing and may even fall asleep during treatment.
Common conditions treated:
-
Headaches and migraines
-
Whiplash and neck pain
-
Tennis elbow
-
Chronic pain
-
Lower back pain
Acupuncture helps restore balance, reduce inflammation, and support your body’s natural healing process.
about us
Dry Needling & Medical Acupuncture
Fast, targeted relief for muscle tension, trigger points & stubborn pain
At BodyRight Physiotherapy, our Chartered Physiotherapists use Dry Needling and Medical Acupuncture as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to relieve pain, release muscle tension, and improve mobility.
Both techniques use very fine, sterile needles — but with different clinical intentions.
Together, they offer an effective, evidence-based approach for musculoskeletal pain.
about us
Electrotherapy
about us
Electrotherapy uses gentle electrical or sound energy to promote healing and relieve pain.
This may include Ultrasound, Laser Therapy, TENS, or Interferential Therapy.
These techniques can:
-
Decrease pain and swelling
-
Accelerate tissue healing
-
Increase muscle strength
Electrotherapy is particularly effective for acute or painful conditions, offering a gentle yet effective treatment option.
Manual therapy involves hands-on treatment techniques used by our physiotherapists to restore mobility, relieve pain, and release soft tissue tension.
It may include:
-
Massage and trigger point release
-
Stretching tight muscles or ligaments
-
Cross-friction techniques for healing tissues
-
Joint mobilisation or manipulation
All BodyRight physiotherapists are experienced manual therapists who use their hands to assess, diagnose, and treat the full range of muscle, joint, and soft tissue injuries.

about us
Taping (Kinesiology & Sports Tape)
Kinesiology Tape (KT Tape) is a flexible elastic tape that supports muscles and joints without restricting movement.
It enhances circulation, reduces pain, and helps the body heal naturally — ideal for sports recovery and muscle imbalances.
Rigid Sports Tape, on the other hand, provides stronger joint stability after injuries like ankle sprains or shoulder dislocations.
Both taping methods can improve posture, reduce pain, and optimise muscle performance.
about us
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and occurs when the cartilage that cushions a joint gradually wears down over time. This can lead to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced movement — most commonly affecting the knees, hips, hands, spine and shoulders.
While osteoarthritis is often associated with ageing, it can also affect younger adults, particularly following injury, surgery, repetitive strain, or high physical demand.
about us
Sports Injuries
Sports Physiotherapy is the specialised assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries that occur during exercise, sport, or physical activity.

-
reduce pain and restore movement
-
build strength, stability, and resilience
-
improve sport-specific performance
-
prevent injuries from recurring
Whether you're recovering from a strain, sprain, overuse injury, or looking to optimise your biomechanics (like improving your golf swing), sports physiotherapy helps you return to action safely, efficiently, and stronger than before.
about us
Soft Tissue & Joint Injuries
Soft Tissue & Joint Injury Physiotherapy is the specialised treatment of injuries affecting the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints.

At BodyRight Physio, our Chartered Physiotherapists design individualised post-operative rehabilitation programmes to help you:
-
Reduce pain and swelling

Restore joint mobility and movement

Rebuild strength, balance, and confidence
Step by step, we guide you through each phase of recovery so you can return to daily life, sport, or work with stability and long-term resilience.
about us
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition where bone becomes thinner, weaker, and more fragile — increasing the risk of fractures, especially in the spine, hip, wrist, and ribs.
Typical signs may include back or hip pain, loss of height, or a rounded upper back (kyphosis) — though many people experience no symptoms until a fracture occurs.
At BodyRight Physio, our Chartered Physiotherapists create personalised bone-health programmes to help you stay mobile, confident, and independent.
about us
Shockwave Treatment
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate tissue repair, reduce chronic pain, and speed up the healing of stubborn injuries.
If you’re dealing with chronic pain, tendon issues, or slow-healing injuries, Shockwave Therapy at BodyRight Physiotherapy provides an advanced, non-invasive treatment proven to accelerate recovery, stimulate tissue repair, and reduce pain.
Shockwave Therapy is available in Drogheda, delivered by trained clinicians using medical-grade technology.
about us
Custom Orthotics
Orthotics play a vital role in addressing pain and movement issues that often originate from the feet but affect the entire body.
Because your feet form the foundation of posture and movement, poor alignment or inefficient gait mechanics can contribute to knee, hip, back, and even neck pain.
Properly prescribed orthotics help optimise how forces are distributed through the feet and lower limbs, improving alignment, reducing strain on joints and muscles, and supporting more efficient movement.
When combined with physiotherapy, orthotics can enhance treatment outcomes, reduce recurring injuries, and allow patients to move more comfortably and confidently in daily life, sport, and exercise.
about us
Custom Orthotics & Biomechanical Assessment
“Empowering our clients in their own healing process.”
At BodyRight Physio, our Chartered Physiotherapists are experts in biomechanical assessment and custom orthotic solutions designed to improve posture, gait, and overall comfort.
Each patient receives a comprehensive foot and gait analysis — assessing movement in non-weightbearing, weightbearing, and dynamic motion (walking or running).
This allows us to identify any abnormalities in foot alignment, walking mechanics, or load distribution that may cause pain or imbalance.
Based on your assessment, we recommend the most suitable orthotic option for your condition and activity level.
Our orthotics range from standard insoles (€20) to fully customised devices (€270), depending on your specific needs.
For children, we closely monitor development and adjust orthotics as they grow to ensure ongoing support and optimal foot function.
Our Drogheda and Phibsboro clinics provide professional guidance on the best orthotic solution for your comfort, mobility, and budget.
Book your biomechanical assessment today and take the first step toward pain-free movement.
