Our clinics specialise in exercise-based rehabilitation and apply treatments with a foundation of strong scientific support and clinical reasoning. This is especially true of our back and neck rehabilitation programs which utilise medical devices developed in Finland by DBC International. DBC International has a treatment support base that has been consistently growing since the mid-1990’s. Since its development in Finland led by one of the world's foremost experts - Prof. Simo Taimela;  they have proven to be steps ahead of the global physiotherapy market. We see ourselves not only standing on the shoulders of the pioneering work of Prof. Taimela and his team, but as leaders in it's application at a clinical level.

Dublin Back Clinic started life in Ireland in 2001. We were founded by Chartered Physiotherapist Liam Heavin when he established a pilot clinic based at the Ashleaf Centre in South Dublin. This 2,500 square foot facility was purpose built to house a full range of Back, Neck Shoulder, Upper and Lower Limb rehabilitation devices in addition to a state-of-the-art physiotherapy centre. Over the last 15 years, Ashleaf has grown to become a celebrated centre of excellence; particularly in the provision of specialist back and neck rehabilitation. Well over 1,000 back and neck pain sufferers have successfully passed through our doors since 2001, and our reputation as a specialist treatment provider has grown along with this success.

Our goal is to expand the reach and access to our specialist services and state-of-the-art clinics to patients across the Island of Ireland.

The first clinic outside Dublin was opened in Naas, Co. Kildare in 2006 led by well-known Irish Physiotherapist Mary O'Connor.
