My appointment with Kirwan Physical was excellent, spent time to understand the reason for my issue and immediately addressed the underlying problem and provided me with a programme to ensure that it does not re-occur. First nights sleep in months with no pain, thanks,

Excellent service. I was having issues with tension in my upper back & Barry pinpointed the source and ironed it out real good. Feeling 100%. Highly recommended :-)

What most impressed me about Barry was his ability to digest what I was telling him and translate that into results. Not to mention those magic hands. Barry is very approachable and a really good guy to top it all off.

I have been attending Barry for many years for various muscular and spinal issues of the back . I find him to be a dedicated therapist applying his many years of expertise and skills to arrive at a pain free or management outcome . He respects the clients viewpoint and experiences of pain and incorporates into his treatment . He displays an empathetic approach and general positive attitude to successful outcomes . As someone whom has experienced quire resistant issues at times I always find that Barry works tirelessly in treatment to achieve results . He also advises on what techniques after treatment that clients should follow to compliment therapy .
