With over 20 years of clinical experience, Louise is the founder and Clinic Director of Physio 64, located in the heart of Merrion Square. The clinic provides expert, evidence-based physiotherapy for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, with particular expertise in complex spinal pain, pelvic health, and pregnancy and postnatal rehabilitation.

Louise has a longstanding clinical interest in the assessment and management 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, she adopts a comprehensive, personalised approach to spine care—focused not only on pain relief, but on restoring function, improving resilience, and reducing the risk of recurrence through long-term management strategies.

She completed her Master’s in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at the University of Queensland, internationally recognised for excellence in spinal pain research, and holds a Eurospine Diploma in Interprofessional Spine Care, reflecting her commitment to best-practice, evidence-informed spinal rehabilitation.

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.
