louise Austin23 August 2024Treatment at The Human Repair Shop is commendable. Tony and Orla always have a wide smile to greet their patients, creating a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. After detailed & appropriate questioning, physio Orla Cunningham targets each problem with obvious professionalism. Her techniques surely improve the patient's blood circulation which in turn reduce muscle tension and general fatigue. Suggested exercises are an integral part of her approach. You invariably leave the Human Repair Shop feeling refreshed and rejuvenated ... and receive a warm "Goodbye".Jean Ritchie30 July 2024Orla is a wonderful Physio, a great healer.Sheryl O'Brien12 July 2024Oral & Tony ran a fantastic group session to help us get ready and stay ready for our impending marathon challenge.

No but really she is so knowledgeable and understands how the body works deeply.
