About

Damien is the Clinical Director and founder of DT Physio, an independent physiotherapy service focused on delivering high-quality rehabilitation within the home environment.

He has extensive experience working with individuals following illness, injury, and hospital discharge, with a particular focus on neurological rehabilitation, older adults, and complex mobility presentations. His work centres on supporting people to regain independence, improve function, and build confidence within their own home.

Damien takes a structured and considered approach to rehabilitation, focusing on meaningful, functional outcomes that translate into everyday life. Sessions are tailored to each individual, with an emphasis on safe progression, consistency, and long-term recovery.

Approach to Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is not simply about exercise, but about enabling individuals to return to meaningful daily activities.

Damien works closely with patients, as well as family members and carers where appropriate, to create structured rehabilitation plans that support independence within the home. This includes mobility, transfers, balance, and task-specific training relevant to each individual’s goals.

The aim is to gradually reduce reliance on support, while ensuring safety and confidence are maintained throughout the rehabilitation process.
