About Us
Your Partner in Health and Wellness
At Dalton Physiotherapy, we believe in not only relieving you of your pain and symptoms, but helping longer-term prevention and management of your pain.
Owned and operated by Ciaran Dalton MISCP, with over 20 years of experience, he has adapted a proven pathway to help you, once and for all, get in control of your pain.
3 Core Processes
How We Get You Pain-Free
We believe in not only relieving your pain, but in long-term prevention and management. We do this by promoting our three core processes.
Reduce Pain
We reduce pain through our 1:1 treatment sessions. We offer a variety of treatment techniques from manual therapy, exercise therapy, dry needling and orthotic prescription. These are just to name a few.
Restore Function
This is where most go wrong. It's important to tackle the why you are in pain. We isolate where you are having dysfunction and devise a long term treatment plan and exercise programme to restore the function.
Prolong Relief
Prevention is often where people struggle most. We help by providing a long-term exercise plan to manage your symptoms, alongside tailored Pilates classes. Pilates is highly effective for back pain, neck pain and lower limb issues, with each class adapted to the needs of those attending.

Testimonials
What Our Patients Say
Rated 5/5 from 106+ Google reviews.
3rd Physio I visited with a lower back/nerve problem which transferred to the neck. The previous ones seemed more intent on talking about the issue, rather than solving it. Ciaran is a great fella, straight down the middle and honest, and an expert on what he's doing. The girls at the front desk are lovely and follow up on what they promise too. Couldn't recommend Dalton Physio enough. Loads of parking in Lidl across the road too.
Gavin DBack & neck painHave worked with Ciaran for about 5-6 sessions to help with a neck & nerve problem. An excellent service, explains what he is doing and why, along with the need for rehab and maintenance. Very happy with the results.
Mick MNeck & nerve painLorna is a great instructor. I just finished out a 4 week course of Pilates with her and I have never felt better. Lorna explains everything so well and makes sure you are doing everything correctly. I suffer with a neck issue and she was extremely helpful making sure all movements were comfortable and safe for me to do.
