Spectrum Health – The Physio Experts

Everything you need to know about your appointment.

From arrival to aftercare, here’s a quick guide to help you feel confident, prepared, and informed before your appointment.

Your first session will involve a detailed assessment of your condition, hands-on treatment where appropriate, and then we’ll develop a tailored treatment plan. It’s all about understanding the issue and starting you on the path to recovery.

Your initial appointment and follow up appointments will last about 30 minutes and costs €60 per session.

Please note that treatment fees are chargeable. Depending on your health insurance plan, you can claim up to 50% back on the total cost.

Physiotherapy benefit information is available in the Member Area of the Laya app, or through the Laya website.

Alternatively, if you have questions regarding your benefits you can contact member of the Laya Customer Service team on 021 202 2000.

We treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and sports-related issues: e.g. back & neck pain, ligament sprains, tendon/muscle problems, sports injuries, balance/falls issues, post-surgery rehabilitation, and much more.

Each location may offer slightly different specialist services.

That’s absolutely fine. Our chartered physiotherapists are experienced in post-operative rehabilitation and serious injury management. 

Please bring any relevant medical notes including imaging (MRI/X-ray) reports ,where available, and any GP/surgeon instructions to your first appointment.

Both — after initial assessment you’ll receive hands-on treatment (if appropriate) and we’ll build a prescription exercise programme tailored to your individual goals.

Active-management is the ultimate goal and leads to sustainable changes.

We aim to offer very short waiting times. Many patients can be seen within days (or sometimes same day) depending on availability and urgency.

Please bring your health insurance details, any referral or imaging you have, a list of current medications, and wear comfortable clothing so your physio can assess movement freely (e.g. shorts for knee, tee-shirt for shoulder). Arrive a few minutes early to complete any administrative paperwork.
