Fantastic experience: Such an amazing and friendly staff, special shout out to Hugh Hogan for helping me and for guiding me through an injury and preparing my upcoming season!
Fantastic experience: Attending here for physio, Paraic is lovely very attentive to the pain i have. Im getting some relief from physio. Would recommend
Negative experience: Never sent me my exercises, called to say so and the physio said "yeah well I'm busy". Never got them. Don't recommend
Fantastic experience: An incredible center with a great amicable staff that are both competent and truly knowledgeable with fantastic equipment. Personally my experience was highlighted by the exceptional care of senior clinician Isabel Slater. Her willingness to work a complicated case with a holistic and graceful approach was unparalleled in my 10 years of physiotherapy across Europe. I can only encourage anyone with chronic pain or chronic back issues to seek out DBC at UCD and, in particular, senior clinician Isabel Slater for the best care in Dublin and arguably across Europe.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, professional service from Pádhraic Linehan. I had very limited movement in lower back/hips and a good deal of pain, which is now resolved. A steady pace with very clear instructions on what to do between appoinments, taking account of my circumstances. Would highly recommend. Thanks Pádhraic.
Negative experience: Fairly disappointing.. .. no real one to one focus
Fantastic experience: Superb physiotherapists, expert in injury and surgery rehabilitation.

Hi Tommy, Thanks for the review, glad we could help.
Fantastic experience: Friendly enviroment and excellent service.Definitely recommended.
Thanks for posting such a lovely 5 star review and recommending !
Fantastic experience: My experience of DBC Belfield – the clinicians, approach to rehab, and facilities – is completely positive. Over the course of two treatments for two different injuries, the quality of care and aftercare I received from Karl was second-to-none. Through Karl’s expertise and the specialized physiotherapy gym in Belfield, I am back training injury- and pain-free having been to several physios before without any luck. In short, I can’t recommend DBC Belfield enough: expert physios, excellent facilities.
Thanks Damhan for your lovely review, recommendation and 5 stars ⭐️ Sorry for the late reply! We will be sure to pass on to Karl! Hope you’re keeping well! Best wishes for all the team at DBC UCD!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with DBC. Karl Fullam is a very talented and knowledgeable physiotherapist. The care I received was second to none. Their equipment is fantastic and treatment is affordable. The entire team worked hard to make sure my appointment times suited my schedule and I always got a reminder the day before. I would highly recommend DBC for everyone, no matter how big or small your problem is.
Hi Aodh, Sorry the delayed reply. Karl will thrilled to read your lovely review and 5 ⭐️ recommendation. Thanks so much for taking the time to post. Much appreciated! Hope you are doing well Best wishes from all the team at DBC UCD!
Fantastic experience: Good overall experience, Stephen is really good. Had gone for a muscular pain in my back.
Thanks a million Yash for posting a super review!! Sorry about the delayed reply. Stephen will be thrilled. Hope you are keeping well. From the DBC UCD Physiotherapy Clinic team.
Negative experience: I had been experiencing lower back pain for several months and made my way to DBC for treatment. I received exercises that were aimed at relieving my pain but to no avail. I later went for an MRI and found that I had a bulging disk. This was particularly troubling because I was encouraged to continue my training which involves loading my lumbar spine.if I had continued to train under load the disk in my lumbar spine would likely have herniated.
Fantastic experience: I can`t thank enough DBC Physiotherapy at UCD specially to PhD, BSc (Physio), MISCP Karl Fullam. I came across this clinic online and I am so lucky for had found them. I had a re-injury on my right shoulder back in 2017. I was assessed within few days since I first contacted them. I had been also referred by my GP to be seen by a shoulder specialist. The appointment wasn`t going to be in at least 5 months time. Karl helped me to be seen by this doctor in a shorter time and my appointment was rescheduled already a month after. The sessions were focused on strengthening, deep tissue massage and recovering my movements back. The whole treatment was very affordable and also DBC is well equipped for all kind of sport injury treatment. For these reasons I highly recommend DBC @ University College Dublin.
Thanks Gill for posting such a fabulous review!!Sorry about the delayed reply. Karl is one of the best Physio in the DBC Clinic. He will be delighted. Thank you so much for taking the time to post such a lovely review and to recommend DBC! Hope you are still keeping well. From the DBC UCD Clinic Team.
Negative experience: I have gone twice once for ankle sprain once for shoulder injury, first time was good, decent rehabilitation exercises fine knowledge. Second time I went was left waiting while the physio was chatting then received some needling that was not needed and made my shoulder stiffer and more painful.
Fantastic experience: Great 1st visit , knowledgeable team and great facilities- I'll be on the mend in no time :)
Thanks Paul for posting such a fabulous review. Sorry for the late reply! Hope you are still keeping well. From the DBC UCD Clinic Team.
