Back and Neck Pain
Back and neck pain is one of the most common complaints we treat at Somerton Physiotherapy Clinic. At our Blanchardstown, Castleknock and Tallaght facilities we successfully treat back and neck pain on a daily basis. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) low back pain is the leading cause of disability in the general public and a leading reason for work absenteeism. Latest research estimates that up to 80% of the world’s population will suffer from back and/or neck pain at some point in their lifetime, with a large portion of these going on to develop long term issues.
VO₂ Max Testing
VO₂ max (short for maximal oxygen uptake) is a measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercises and is widely recognised as the gold standard for measuring cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance.
