The Children's Physio Ireland
About Us
Welcome to The Children’s Physio Ireland, a physiotherapy service set up by Aoife McCarthy, specifically for the physiotherapy needs of children of all ages. Before we delve into who we are, we would like to tell you the story of how this service came to be.
The Children’s Physio Ireland was founded from both personal experience and professional insight.
After returning to Ireland 2017, following 13 years of training and working in the UK, our founder unexpectedly found herself drawn into private practice while caring for a newborn of her own. This experience sparked a deep understanding of the need for accessible, expert physiotherapy care for children.
What began as a small client base has since evolved into a specialised, thriving service. In 2021, The Children’s Physio Ireland was officially launched to meet the growing demand for a dedicated paediatric physiotherapy service.
Today, we are proud to offer expert physiotherapy care exclusively for babies, children, and teenagers. Our team provides support across a wide range of clinical areas, always focused on ensuring each child receives the tailored care and attention they need to thrive.
Tailor Made Treatment For Your Child
Keeping Kids in Sport
At a time when dropout rates from youth sport are increasing, we believe it’s more important than ever to keep children active, engaged, and injury-free. Sport offers far more than physical fitness it builds confidence, social connection, resilience, and routine.
An injury at a young age, if not properly managed, can not only lead to long-term physical issues but can also discourage a child from staying involved in something they love.
By taking a proactive and informed approach to rehab and recovery, we aim to not just get kids back to sport, but keep them there performing at their best and enjoying every moment.
As Featured In the Irish Independent
Over the course of this year, Aoife has been asked to contribute to two articles featured in the Irish Independent concerning child health. The first was in August 2021 for which Aoife was asked to give a Paediatric Physiotherapist’s perspective on what to look for when buying school bags and School Shoes in their Annual Back to School Edition.
More recently in December 2021, Aoife was asked to advise readers of what steps to follow when considering your child returning to exercise and sport post Covid-19. A subject which will, in no doubt, be a hot topic for the foreseeable future. To read the above mentioned articles please click below
