DEIRDRE RODDY
BSc (Hons) Physio, MISCP
Deirdre Roddy qualified from the University of Brighton in 2005 with a BSc (Hons) Degree in Physiotherapy. She completed her junior rotations in the Bons Secour Hospital Cork. Her love for travel then brought her to New Zealand and Australia, where she worked in private practices for a further 8 years. It was here that she continued to improve her knowledge, skills, professional development, and experience. She was also involved in treating high-level athletes from various backgrounds with an array of injuries and has become accustomed to the treatment, diagnosis, and management of acute injuries, such as knee and shoulder injuries.
She also enjoys the rehabilitation involved with all postoperative surgery. She has recognized the need for more women’s health physiotherapists in Ireland and is now specialized in the treatment of bladder and bowel dysfunctions, such as stress/fecal urine incontinence, urgency and frequency issues (pelvic floor dysfunction), pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, ante- and post-natal issues. Buttressing her Physiotherapy Treatment, she is also qualified in dry needling and the use of kinesio taping.
Deirdre has several years of experience teaching Pilates classes with her underlying training in DMA Pilates.
