The Cottage Clinic

I have been availing of the TECAR Therapy over the past 6 months. I have found it an excellent preventative therapy for a long term lower back problem. After the first couple of sessions I noticed that the problem area was gaining strength and resilience, something I hadn’t experienced with traditional physiotherapy treatments in the past. The treatments are further enhanced by Brian’s empathic approach, which adds greatly to the overall wellness experienced from the session. Would highly recommend Brian and the Cottage Clinic .

I cannot recommend Brian of The Cottage Clinic enough! I went in with really bad knee pain at the start of a weight loss program that required an hour’s walk every day. I could barely go up the stairs at home at that stage. 12 weeks on and after regular treatment from Brian, I am walking well over an hour a day and I totally forget the pain some days! Brian is very thorough, knowledgeable and explains the treatment in depth at the start. Anyone with pain should give it a go. Thank you, Brian

I damaged my cruciate ligaments in a work incident in 2019 and attended a different physio at the time at least once weekly, sometimes twice weekly, for almost 6 months before Covid brought a halt to treatment. I continued with some exercises recommended by that physio and wore a very restrictive brace support on the knee for day to day physical activity. It never healed properly and became manageable until a second incident in late March 2023.

I was recommended to try Brian's TECAR treatment by some of the local GAA players who had used his treatments and I first attended on 28th March. After just 1 session I couldn't believe the relief and reduction in pain.

I attended on a total of 5 sessions over 3 weeks, the last being 20th April and I have no pain or discomfort and have full movement in the knee. I do house removals every day (so my job is very physical) and I'm working full time without any knee issues at all.

I had no prior knowledge of Brian's treatments and no idea what TECAR was about or how it worked but the results are fantastic and after only 5 visits I don't have to do any joint exercises or strength work. If I had only known this existed when the original incident occurred I would have been completely recovered in a fraction of the time and saved a fortune on both regular physio sessions and a very restrictive (and expensive) knee brace.

I can't recommend Brian and his TECAR treatment enough. Thank you Brian for your time and patience in explaining the whole treatment to me as it proceeded.

I made an appointment with Brian for neuromuscular therapy on a couple of recurring knee and shoulder injuries. I had a few sessions following this, including dry needle treatment, all of which really helped my recovery. Brian is very knowledgeable, very friendly and gives excellent advice.

I recently went back for TECAR therapy, a new non-invasive treatment, that really worked wonders on my super-tight thigh and hamstring.

I would definitely recommend Brian for any treatments.

I got in contact with the cottage clinic about a pain on the inside of my elbow. It's been bothering me for a good while, but the past week it got unbearable. After talking to Brian we decided to try TECAR Therapy.

I was a bit sceptical at first because I never heard of it, but decided to try it. I'm glad I did, after one session I had full movement back in my elbow and the pain was gone. I still really can't believe it. I couldn't recommend the cottage clinic enough. Nice, clean modern clinic and Brian was a pleasure to deal with.

Coming into Christmas (2022) I was struggling with chronic pain as a result of issues with SI Joint pain. Movement was difficult, and the pain was a mix of consistent dull ache in my lower back and left hip area; with the odd spasm being triggered. It was very draining.

I undertook treatment twice during the week between Christmas and New Years with Brian, who applied TECAR Therapy - this is something Brian is set up to do - and the results were great! The TECAR treatment resulted in relief from both the chronic pain as well as the stiffness in movement. It also reduced my need for anti-inflammatories and pain killers.

I would highly recommend this therapy and the treatment by Brian to anyone suffering in a similar fashion. The relief was almost immediate; the difference between before and after the session was impressive.

Having never done any distance running before I decided to sign up for the Barcelona Marathon! I started training last January and everything was going great until mid February when the injuries started – shin splints, calf strains, knee pain. After getting to know Brian a couple of years previously and knowing his experience of running marathons, competing in triathlons, Ironman etc I decided to turn to him for help and advice. The rest is history – I completed my first marathon on May 8th in 3hr:58min.

Thanks a million Brian, couldn’t have done it without your treatment and advice.
