Louise Clarke

Meet Our Clinic Director | Chartered Physiotherapist | Spinal & Musculoskeletal Specialist | Pelvic Health Physiotherapist & Certified Mummy MOT® Practitioner

CORU Registration: PT033215

With over 20 years of clinical experience, I’m proud to be the founder and Clinic Director of Physio 64, located in the heart of Merrion Square. Our practice provides expert, evidence-based physiotherapy for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, with a special focus on complex spinal pain conditions, pelvic health, and pregnancy and postnatal recovery.

Over the years, I’ve developed a particular interest in the assessment and treatment of chronic and complex spinal disorders—including persistent back and neck pain, disc-related conditions, nerve-related symptoms, and post-surgical rehabilitation. At Physio 64, we take a comprehensive, personalised approach to spine care, aiming not only to reduce pain but to restore function and minimise risk of recurrence through long-term strategies.

I completed my Master’s in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at the University of Queensland—renowned for its spinal pain research—and hold a Eurospine Diploma in Interprofessional Spine Care, which reflects my commitment to staying at the forefront of spinal treatment and rehabilitation. I also bring advanced training in dry needling and Clinical Pilates, using both matwork and specialised equipment like the Reformer to support recovery.

In addition to spinal care, I’m a Certified Mummy MOT® Practitioner with specialist training in pelvic floor dysfunction, postnatal rehabilitation, and pregnancy-related musculoskeletal pain. My experience spans public and private healthcare settings in both Ireland and Australia. I’m passionate about multidisciplinary care and regularly collaborate with consultants, GPs, and other health professionals to ensure the best outcomes for my patients.

Jessica Rynne

Chartered Physiotherapist | Pelvic Health Specialist | Pregnancy & Postnatal Rehabilitation | Clinical Pilates Instructor

CORU Registration: PT06552

I am a Chartered Pelvic Health Physiotherapist with a specialist focus on women’s health, pregnancy-related pain, postnatal rehabilitation, and pelvic floor dysfunction. I hold an Honours Degree in Physiotherapy from Trinity College Dublin, where I received an ISCP Research Award for my work on urinary incontinence.

I am passionate about supporting women throughout their lifespan—from early pregnancy through postnatal recovery and beyond—helping them rebuild strength, restore confidence, and return to the activities they love. My approach centres on accurate diagnosis, education, and evidence-based rehabilitation, taking a thorough look at muscular, postural, and movement contributors to pelvic floor dysfunction beyond the basics.

I have completed specialist Pelvic Health training with the Pelvic Obstetric & Gynaecological Physiotherapy (POGP) group in the UK and the National Maternity Hospital, including further training in Pelvic Organ Prolapse assessment and management. I have additional training in Pregnancy and Physical Activity with the Faculty of Sports & Exercise Medicine.

Alongside my clinical work, I am a certified Reformer Pilates instructor (Pilates Performance Academy) and APPI Matwork Clinical Pilates Instructor, with particular interest in pre- and post-natal patients. While teaching Reformer Pilates and rehabilitation sessions, I m constantly assessing and tailoring programmes to individual needs and adapting exercises to optimise long-term function, strength, and performance.

I work extensively with antenatal and postnatal women, integrating my knowledge of pelvic health, biomechanics, and the muscular adaptations that occur during pregnancy and throughout life. My goal is always to help women feel strong, capable, and like themselves again.

I am also involved in women’s sport, providing physiotherapy support to AIL women’s rugby and ladies’ Gaelic football.
