As a qualified Physiotherapist, I am particularly discerning when choosing a therapist for myself. I began working with Garrett primarily for some manual work and soft tissue release during a training cycle for the Dublin City Marathon 2017. I found him knowledgeable, professional, thorough and genuinely committed to helping me achieve my goals. Above all else the standard of his practice was excellent and even from an early stage I saw significant improvement in results in my function and performance.
Five weeks out from my goal marathon I unfortunately picked up an unfortunate ‘freak’ injury during a race and for the month prior to the event I was not confident of being able to take part. However, thanks in no small part to Garrett’s skill and dedication I not only completed the race but did so in a PB time. I highly recommend Garrett to any person experiencing pain or reduced function regardless of whether they are actively involved with sport or not. I will certainly be returning to him for my next marathon training programme.
‘I visited Garrett over a number of months with a muscular injury to my left arm. Garret takes a detailed history and completes a thorough assessment. I appreciated Garret’s professional but very personal approach, which inspires confidence and makes the client feel relaxed.
I like Garret’s holistic style approach, in an unrushed environment, treating the body as a whole, and not just a an isolated body part! Garret displays immense knowledge and enthusiasm for what he does, and is genuinely interested and committed to improve a clients well being, and overall flexibility .
I most definitely have an increased range of motion and less pain and discomfort following my course of treatment, and I wholeheartly recommend Garrett for a really personal client based service, and attention to detail. Garrett will provide a tailor made stretching and exercise program for each client, and he also provided e mail follow up to assess my progress and adherence to my exercises! Also, I am also much more aware of paying attention to my posture on a daily basis, as my job is office based.’ Many Thanks Garrett
Garrett treated me recently for an Achilles tendon running injury. He dealt with the injury over a number of sessions. I am sorry that I didn’t visit him sooner! I found him to be very competent, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and flexible with appointments.
He also provided aftercare in the form of emails with advice on foam rolling and exercises to build up the injured and surrounding muscles. Overall, I found his service to be excellent value for money and I intend to keep visiting him monthly for injury prevention.
I would recommend him to any of my colleagues or friend
I had been struggling with chronic jaw, neck, shoulder and back pain for several years when I contacted Garrett Dockery at the Premier Physical Therapy Clinic. I was pretty much at my wits end after failing to find any help or understanding from the medical profession. From my own research, I knew it had to be muscular-skeletal related. Close to breaking point one day I did a Google Search for a Physical Therapist in my area. The Premier Physical Therapy Clinic appeared on the first page of results. When I spoke to Garrett on the phone later that day he could not have been more helpful and understanding of my situation. He found an appointment for me that week as he could sense my distress.
From the moment I entered The Premier Physical Therapy Clinic I knew I was in the hands of a therapist who took his work very seriously. The therapy room is laid out to a very high standard; professional, but not at all clinical. I was very tearful that first day, but Garrett immediately put me at ease and showed great compassion and empathy. This was such a change from the attitude I had received from hospital doctors. Garrett took a genuine interest in my condition and conducted a comprehensive background medical history before any treatment commenced.
The treatment was precise and very intense. Garrett meticulously zoomed in on all the areas that were causing so much trouble and worked on bringing about better alignment in my body. Throughout the session he explained exactly what he had found or was doing. He named the offending muscles or fibres and described the process they were undergoing. The whole experience was relaxed and unrushed.
I have since been attending Garrett on a regular basis along with following the personal home-care program he created for me. I have found the treatments of great benefit and support on my road to recovery. Garrett’s ‘work with’ approach to treating clients has helped me develop a better understanding of my body and the lifestyle changes needed to affect positive results.
I cannot thank Garrett enough for the tremendous work he has done, his ongoing support and interest in helping me re-claim my physical strength. With such in-depth knowledge and passion for his work, he could ideally create a series of online videos for tackling the repetitive strain injuries that afflict so many of us today
I had three one hour treatment sessions with Garrett. He was mainly working on the sciatica issue that I’ve been having. It was excellent value for money and he really takes his time. I would certainly recommend him to friends and family.
Garrett is an excellent therapist. I’ve had sciatica for a few years and after a few sessions with Garrett it had improved a lot. He lets you know what he is doing and why and is great at explaining how the body works and what is causing the problem(s). He also provides lots of useful information and exercises for aftercare.
