The Planet

Here at Monkstown Movement Clinic we try and do our bit for the planet. We want to identify and promote physiotherapy as an environmentally-friendly healthcare practice as our emphasis is on low-tech, hands-on and interpersonal approach to therapy. In this way, we can encourage rehab through movement and reduce the increasing dependence on resource intensive technologies like diagnostic imaging, medical screening, electrotherapy devices and surgical repair.

We try to use recycled paper where possible and avoid giving out paper exercise plans.  Furthermore, any paper used for bedroll, for hygiene purposes, will be recycled appropriately. We try to reduce our plastic use and look for more sustainable alternatives. Additionally, we will continue to work towards being as green as we can and are open to suggestions as to how we can improve.

We understand that being green may not be at the top of the list for somebody in pain looking to choose a physiotherapist. However, this is simply our way of expressing what is important to us and what might be important to you too. Getting our patients fit, healthy and pain free is of course our number one priority. We care about you but also the bigger picture.

We encourage our clients to do their bit too. Where possible, walk or cycle to the clinic. The views by the sea are stunning after all! And small ‘green’ changes can make a huge difference.
