I have attended Garrett Dockery\u2019s clinic on several occasions and his assessment and treatment of my symptoms has always been first class. He is always punctual and reliable and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. <\/em><\/p>\nBernard Campbell, Clane (2021)<\/p>\n
Garrett is an amazing and very caring physical therapist. I have been seeing him few times over the last couple of years to fix my tight muscle issues on my shoulders, neck, legs and most recently my foot which has caused me some pain when out walking. Whenever I come in Garrett asks me questions, listens and writes down my symptoms where the problem could be located. He puts me at ease and starts the work with music or radio on to keep me calm. After the session Garrett offers to show me how to do exercises with different tools followed by an email with details of the exercises to do or an app to download on your phone with videos of the exercise. I am pleased with his service and would certainly recommend him. <\/i><\/p>\n

”I was referred to Garrett by Gerard Hartmann after a serious sports related back injury.\u00a0\u00a0 Straight away I knew I was in good hands, Garrett is one of the few therapist who matches the treatment to the cause.\u00a0 Treatment was over and above what anyone can expect with detailed follow up, email of various additional exercises to help between sessions. Can\u2019t thank him enough!”<\/em><\/p>\nLisa Yourell (February 2018)<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAs 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.<\/em><\/p>\nFive weeks out from my goal marathon I unfortunately picked up an unfortunate \u2018freak\u2019 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\u2019s skill and dedication I not only completed the race but did so in a PB time.<\/em><\/p>\nI 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nC. Lavery (November 2017)<\/p>\n

‘I visited Garrett over a number of months with a muscular injury to my left \u00a0arm. Garret takes a detailed history and\u00a0completes a thorough assessment. I appreciated Garret’s professional but very personal approach, which inspires confidence and makes the client feel relaxed.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0I like Garret’s holistic style approach, in an unrushed environment,\u00a0treating the body as a whole, and not just a\u00a0an isolated body part!\u00a0Garret displays immense knowledge and enthusiasm for what he does, and is genuinely interested and committed to improve a clients well being, and overall flexibility .<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I most definitely have an increased range of motion and less pain and discomfort following my course of treatment, and I wholeheartly\u00a0 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\u00a0 e mail follow up to assess my progress and adherence to my exercises! Also, \u00a0I am also much more aware of paying attention to my posture on a daily basis, as my job is office based.’<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Many Thanks Garrett<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

‘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.\u00a0 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.<\/em><\/p>\nFrom 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.<\/em><\/p>\nThe 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.<\/em><\/p>\nI 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\u2019s \u2018work with\u2019 approach to treating clients has helped me develop a better understanding of my body and the lifestyle changes needed to affect positive results.<\/em><\/p>\nI 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’.<\/em><\/p>\nVivien N\u00ed Dhuinn\u00a0 (November 2016)<\/strong><\/p>\n‘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\u2019t visit him sooner! I found him to be very competent, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and flexible with appointments.<\/em><\/p>\nHe 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.<\/em><\/p>\nI would recommend him to any of my colleagues or friends’.<\/em><\/p>\nMl Fahey, Castlebar (September 2016)<\/strong><\/p>\n‘I originally came to Garrett with a serious muscle injury. I had a full thickness tear of the soleus muscle in my calf. I believe that all the treatment I received was critical to my recovery and it the reason why I have full mobility and great strength in the leg that was injured.\u00a0The care I received was not just limited to the sessions but was followed up with homework exercises.\u00a0Garrett’s in-depth knowledge also\u00a0helped me to fully understand the extent of my injury, this\u00a0put me at ease knowing that I was in good hands. I would highly recommend Garrett to anyone’.<\/em><\/p>\nCaoimhe Delaney (January 2016)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n‘I started attending Garrett after a particularly vigorous vacation had left my lower back in a spasm.\u00a0 After spending almost a week on heavy duty drugs it was to his credit that I was back on my feet and able to travel to work on the bus again in very short order.\u00a0 I continue to go to keep my back in good shape as I have a sedentary job and have to travel on the bus for about 3 hours every day.\u00a0 I can only recommend his services.’<\/em><\/p>\nEva Muhlhause (November 2015)<\/strong><\/p>\n‘I found Garrett to be very professional and full of knowledge about the body. He takes his time and listen to all your concerns. Overall a very positive experience , I would definitely recommend him to a friend’.<\/em><\/p>\nMichelle Guidera (September 2015)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\u00a0“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.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

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.”<\/em><\/p>\nMartin F (July 2015)<\/strong><\/p>\n‘During my pregnancy I suffered with severe back, shoulder and neck pains. I went to Garrett, and in saying that he helped me would be a massive understatement! He dealt with each muscular ache I had and leaving there each session, I felt an incredible amount of relief. \u00a0I had knots all over my back that I didn\u2019t even know I had and thanks to Garrett they all disappeared. He dealt with all these issues while still being very gentle and conscience of my pregnancy continually. He went over and beyond to help me throughout my pregnancy-emailing me videos showing exercises that would help me and articles that would assist me on my posture, taking into account the pregnancy at all times. I have been to numerous people, even before my pregnancy, about the multitude of muscular pains I had and even though these pains were multiplied while pregnant, Garrett was the only person that completely cleared the constant throbbing aches that I had – even now, 6 months after the pregnancy, I haven\u2019t had a single pain. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in his profession, but he is so helpful, friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend Garrett to anybody and couldn\u2019t praise him highly enough.\u00a0Thank you Garrett for your extreme professionalism, understanding and outstanding patience!’<\/em><\/p>\nFiona Butler (October 2014)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
