Physiologic Smithfield
It is with a very, very heavy heart, due to the current crisis, future uncertainty and high operating costs I have with much regret had to cease practicing in my Smithfield Clinic. This was a very hard and emotional decision to make.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my patients, friends and colleagues that I have gotten to know over the years. Your support and inspiration made my work a truly memorable experience that I will always remember with great fondness.
I wish all of you the very best, good health and happiness in the future. I maintain my presence in Lucan and you are of course welcome to attend this clinic in the future, I would be delighted to see you. If you need to get in touch with me, please feel free to email me at
The amazing team in our Plaza Health Clinic in Smithfield will be offering Physiotherapy Services under the care of Abby Daly (MISCP) should you need a Smithfield Physiotherapy Treatment. And of course Bobby, Ronan and the rest of the dental team will be continuing their friendly, enthusiastic and uncompromisingly high standard in dental care.

What's changed???
As Chartered Physiotherapists we are regulated and governed by the ISCP (Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists), the HSE/Department of Health.
As physiotherapy is a considered a medical / allied health service, our profession falls within the scope of essential healthcare services.
While in private practice we have been informed that it is up to individual clinics to determine if they should remain open or closed for the duration of this current virus outbreak. We have decided to remain open until advised otherwise by our governing body. With more people working from home, unable to attend for other treatments for various reasons, many people are still in pain and require ongoing treatment.
With this in mind and in the interest of infection control, we have made changes to how we work and the types of treatments we can perform and techniques we use.
As per current advice, should you be displaying any symptoms, however minor (cough, temperature, loss of smell or taste) We would ask you to please not attend for physiotherapy treatments and contact your GP or the HSE for immediate Covid19 testing. The more testing we do, the better in helping to contain this virus.
If you are symptom free and have not been in contact with anyone displaying symptoms in the past 2 weeks, please feel free to attend for an appointment.
​
Physiotherapy Treatments not currently available
​
Respiratory Physiotherapy- due to the nature of respiratory physiotherapy there is increased risk of aerosol droplets in the air and risk of cross infection so this is no longer a treatment option until further notice.
​
Manipulations and other Treatments
As a specialist in spinal and peripheral joint manipulations, I have adapted certain techniques in order to reduce the forced sudden expiration that can occur during these techniques. This will be assessed on an individual basis.
​
​
Attending the clinic
​
Should you wear a surgical face mask or respirator?
This is a decision you should make on an individual basis, if you feel more comfortable wearing one then please do. If you do not have one then I can supply you with one in the clinic as we have them in stock for just €2 each.
I will be wearing a surgical face mask for all treatments
​
Surface and cross infection
While we have always had a policy of fully disinfecting our treatment tables between patients, we are currently allocating extra time in between each appointment to ensure complete disinfection of all surfaces and equipment used.
In that regard, we have stopped the use of pillows and towels in our clinic. When attending, please bear in mind that during examinations and treatments you may need to lie on your back, feel free to bring your jacket/jumper to be used as a pillow. This can also be used for partial cover during certain assessments or treatments where we require you to remove items of clothing such as your top or trousers etc. Please bear this in mind when attending.
​
When you arrive at the clinic please use the hand sanitiser provided at the front desk.
​
Any questions please do not hesitate to email me at:
I look forward to seeing you in the near future.
Stay healthy, stay safe.

WELCOME
Physiologic are Chartered Physiotherapy, Sports Injury & Pain Clinic based across Two locations, Smithfield Dublin 7 and Lucan Co. Dublin .
We operate within Multidisciplinary Medical Centres where we can offer a full range of Physiotherapy, Medical, Diagnostic and Rehabilitation Services in order to provide prompt diagnosis and treatment for your Injuries and Conditions.
Our aim is to provide the best possible care for our patients enabling you to return to pre injury levels of activity in the shortest possible timeframes. Our Physiotherapists are all practicing members of the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists (MISCP). The cost of your treatments are tax deductible and covered by all major health insurers.
ABOUT US
Physiologic was set up by Michael Sheridan (MISCP) Chartered Physiotherapist in 2010. Michael had the intention of opening a clinic whereby the patient comes first. He has a very hand on approach to Physiotherapy and believes no patient should be hooked up to a machine, left there for 30 minutes just to be told to come back again in a few days time. This has never and will never happen at any of his clinics. He believes patient education is paramount to their recovery and actively involves his patients in their own recovery ensuring they have a full understanding of their underlying pathology, why he believes a particular treatment is appropriate and advice on how to avoid reoccurring injuries.
​
Physiologic has now grown to two clinics based in Smithfield and Lucan. Both clinics are furnished with a fully equipped gym in order to obtain the maximum level of patient recovery to pre injury levels of activity.
Both of the Physiologic Physiotherapy Clinics operate within a Multidisciplinary Setting so that we can offer unparalleled service provision including Medical & Consultancy Services, rapid access to Diagnostics (MRI, X-Ray,DEXA,Ultrasound) with our partners in Charter Medical and Alliance Medical. Because of this we have a very fast turn around for Diagnostic and Consultant Referrals to maximize treatment times and outcome measures. In a nutshell, if we can’t help you, one of our colleagues can!

HAPPY CLIENTS
I was suffering from chronic lower back pain for months. I attended Michael at physiologic in smithfield and found him very helpful and friendly. I got an MRI within one week and he explained my condition in plain english. Michael showed me how to manage my back pain at home and it is now a distant memory. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
I was treated by Niamh at physiologic in Lucan after my ACL reconstruction. I found Niamh very helpful and knowledgeable. I was also surprised to see the full Gym setup in the clinic so I could do my rehab in the clinic , it really helped speed up my recovery.

I attended Michael from physiologic at his Maynooth clinic for ongoing tension headaches. pain killers just didnt work anymore. Michael treated me with some Dry-Needling and after 3 treatments my headaches were gone. He also showed me some exercises to do to prevent them coming back. Fantastic service, great staff.
