🦴 LOOKING AFTER YOUR BONES: WHERE CAN PHYSIOTHERAPY HELP? 🦴

Osteoporosis can affect bone strength without causing any obvious symptoms. For many people, the first indication that their bones have become weaker is a fracture.
The good news? There are things you can do to support your strength, mobility and independence. 💪

🌟 How can physiotherapy help?

🏋️ Build strength
A tailored exercise programme can help improve muscle strength and physical function. Stronger muscles can also help you stay active and confident.

⚖️ Improve balance
Falls can have serious consequences when bones are fragile. Balance and stability exercises can help you feel more secure when walking and moving around.

🚶 Keep you moving
Regular, appropriate physical activity is important for maintaining mobility and overall health. Your physiotherapist can help you find exercises that are suitable for your individual needs and bone health.

💆 Help manage pain
If osteoporosis has contributed to back pain or you've had a fracture, physiotherapy can help you understand your symptoms and work towards improving movement and day-to-day function.

🧍 Work on posture and movement
Your physiotherapist can advise you on safe and comfortable ways to move, exercise and carry out everyday activities.

❤️ Don't wait for a fracture
Osteoporosis doesn't always give you an early warning. If you're concerned about your bone health, have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, or have had a fracture, it's worth discussing your options with your GP and/or physiotherapist.
Your bones may be the focus — but keeping you strong, active and confident is the bigger picture. 🌿

Dear Patients,
We would like to let you know that from 1st October 2026, our physiotherapy consultation fee will increase from €65 to €69.

This is the first adjustment to our fees in over five years. During this time, we have worked hard to keep our prices unchanged while continuing to provide the high standard of individualised care that our patients have come to expect.

Due to the continued increase in the costs of running the practice, we now need to make a small adjustment to our fees.

We greatly appreciate your continued support and, most importantly, the trust you place in us with your care.

If you have any enquiries please feel free to get in contact with us.

Thank you for choosing Tyrrell Physiotherapy.

From 1st October: €69 per consultation

📱 TEXT NECK — WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING? 🤔

“Text Neck” is a term commonly used to describe neck and upper-body discomfort associated with prolonged use of phones, tablets and other screens. 📱💻

But here’s the important bit 👇
❌ It’s not about saying that one particular posture is “bad” for your neck.

The HSE advises that keeping your neck in the same position for a long time can contribute to neck pain, while prolonged screen work and static or awkward postures can contribute to musculoskeletal discomfort.

So rather than worrying about having “perfect posture” ✅, try focusing on movement and changing positions regularly. 🔄

💥 Shoulder Pain When You Lift Your Arm?

Your rotator cuff could be involved. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that helps keep your shoulder stable and allows you to move your arm.

👀 Common signs include:

🔸 Pain when lifting or lowering your arm
🔸 Pain reaching overhead or behind your back
🔸 💪 Shoulder or arm weakness
🔸 🌙 Pain at night or when lying on the affected side
🔸 🔄 Clicking or reduced shoulder movement

⚠️ Rotator cuff problems can develop gradually through repetitive activities, or happen suddenly after a fall, heavy lifting or sporting injury.

🏃‍♀️ How can physiotherapy help?

A physiotherapy assessment can help identify what may be contributing to your shoulder pain.

Your treatment may include:

✅ Targeted exercises
✅ Strength and mobility work
✅ Advice on modifying activities
✅ A personalised rehabilitation plan

Don’t let shoulder pain stop you from doing the things you enjoy! 🙌

We're living longer than ever before... but are we staying active enough? 👣

Ireland's population is ageing fast. In just 10 years, the number of people aged over 65 has grown by more than 40%, and by 2051, it's expected to reach around 1.6 million people.

The good news? We know that staying active is one of the best ways to stay healthy, independent and doing the things you love as you get older.

The worrying part is that only 1 in 3 adults aged 65–74, and fewer than 1 in 5 people aged 75+, are getting the recommended amount of physical activity.

The HSE's Every Move Counts campaign has a simple message that we love:

Every bit of movement counts.

You don't have to run 10Ks or spend hours in the gym. A daily walk, some strength exercises, swimming, gardening, or even getting up and moving more often throughout the day can make a real difference.

Regular movement can help you:💙 Stay stronger for longer🚶 Improve balance and reduce your risk of falls🦴 Keep your joints moving🧠 Support brain health😊 Maintain your independence and confidence

At our clinic, we help people of all ages keep moving, recover from injury, manage pain and stay active for the long term.

Because healthy ageing isn't about slowing down—it's about keeping moving.

If you're finding it harder to do the things you enjoy because of pain or stiffness, we're here to help.
