🤲 What is Essential Tremor?

Essential Tremor is a nervous system disorder that causes involuntary and rhythmic shaking, most commonly in the hands—but it can also affect the head, voice, or legs. It’s often confused with Parkinson’s disease, but it’s a separate condition and usually less serious.

While it’s not life-threatening, Essential Tremor can impact daily activities like writing, eating, or dressing. The good news? Occupational and physical therapy can help manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.

💬 Concerned about tremors? Our team at Monaghan Therapy Clinic is here to help.

One dive. One moment. A lifetime changed.

Every summer, we share this reminder because it genuinely saves lives.
Before you ever dive into a river, lake or sea, always check how deep it is and what’s beneath the surface — rocks, debris, or shallow spots can turn a fun jump into a tragic injury in seconds.

Sadly, each year we see patients with devastating spinal cord injuries caused by unsafe diving. Some will never swim again, some will never walk again. Some will never get to kick a ball with their kids or wave friends off from the doorstep.

A single careless dive can fracture the neck (cervical vertebrae), leading to paralysis or worse.

✨ Please: check the depth, check the bottom, talk to your friends. Remind them.
✨ Please: share this message — it might make someone pause and think twice.

Together, we can help keep our community safer this summer. 💙

👣 Struggling with Fallen Arches or Flat Feet?
You’re not alone, and the good news is, physical therapy can make a real difference.

At Monaghan Therapy Clinic, we help you strengthen, stretch, and support your feet so you can move with less pain and more confidence.

🧠 What Are Fallen Arches?
Flat feet (aka pes planus) happen when your foot’s arch collapses or never fully forms.

This can lead to:
Tired, achy feet
Knee, hip, or lower back pain
Overpronation when walking or running

✅ Our Therapy Goals:
Build up the intrinsic foot muscles
Improve ankle mobility and balance
Relieve pain and reduce fatigue
Prevent future strain or injury

🏋️‍♀️ Simple, Effective Exercises Include:
🦶 Short foot lifts (to engage the arch)
🧈 Toe curls with a towel
🧦 Marble pickups to improve coordination
👣 Heel raises for arch control
🪵 Arch rolling with a ball or roller

Plus: targeted stretches for tight calves and balance training for ankle support.

👟 Supportive footwear and custom orthotics can also help, and our team can guide you on the best fit for your lifestyle.

🚨 If you're experiencing persistent pain, stiffness, or uneven wear on your shoes, don’t ignore it. A personalised physio plan may be just what your feet need.

📍 Visit us in Monaghan or DM us to book a consultation today.
Let’s get you back on your feet the right way.

What Is Plantar Fasciitis, and How Can Physical Therapy Help?

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot. It often feels like a sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, especially with your first steps in the morning or after long periods of rest.

While it’s common in runners, people who stand for long hours, or those with flat feet or high arches, anyone can develop it.

✅ How Physical Therapy Can Help:
➡️Physical therapy plays a key role in both relieving pain and addressing the root cause. Treatment may include:

➡️Stretching exercises to loosen the plantar fascia, calf muscles, and Achilles tendon

➡️Manual therapy to reduce tension and improve mobility

➡️Strengthening exercises for foot and lower leg muscles to support better movement

➡️Gait analysis and correction to reduce strain during walking or running

➡️Taping, orthotics, or footwear advice to support the foot during healing

With the right plan, physical therapy can speed up recovery and help prevent the condition from coming back.
