Twenty-seven years of gentle, hands-on osteopathy, now in Sandycove, for adults and children.
Eva McGovern has 27 years in clinical practice. She qualified as a physiotherapist in Germany in 1999 and has worked as an osteopath for over two decades, now as a registered osteopath in Dublin. She brings her physiotherapy knowledge and postgraduate training in Atlas therapy, FDM and the Spinal Flow Technique into her osteopathic work.
Her approach is holistic and individual. She looks at how the whole body is working together rather than treating a single symptom in isolation, and she takes the time to find the real source of the problem.
More about EvaEva works mainly as an osteopath. Within osteopathy she draws on several postgraduate methods, choosing what suits you and your body. Sessions are gentle by default.
A holistic, hands-on therapy that recognises and treats functional disorders of the body, helping it return to balance.
Gentle treatment for babies and children, including colic and restlessness.
Focused work on the top vertebra of the spine, combined within osteopathic treatment.
A gentle technique to support the spine and nervous system, combined within osteopathic treatment.
A structured way of reading and treating the fascia, the connective tissue that shapes how we move, combined within osteopathy.
Coaching and simple techniques you can use yourself, offered separately as self-help.
Treatment is usually quite gentle. Eva can adjust and "crack bones back into place" where it helps, but most of the time that is simply not necessary.
The first appointment is a full assessment: you will be listened to, examined and treated in the same session. The goal is always to find why something hurts, not just to quiet it for an afternoon.
A proper conversation about your history, your pain and how it affects your daily life.
Hands-on examination of how your body is moving and where it is holding tension.
Gentle, individual treatment using the method that suits you and your body best.
Simple self-healing techniques so progress continues between appointments.
