HOW WE HELP
At The IBS Clinic we take a natural and practical approach to supporting people with IBS and digestive problems. We use Nutritional Therapy alongside a range of approaches including dietary therapy, nutritional supplements, herbs, stress management techniques and lifestyle support.
We understand that digestive problems can be complex and that what works for one person may not work for another. We take time to look at your symptoms, diet, lifestyle and health history before putting together an individual programme to suit your needs.
Our aim is to help you better understand your digestive health, identify possible triggers and make practical diet and lifestyle changes that may help improve your symptoms and quality of life.
Nutritional Therapy is tailored to the individual. By considering your digestive symptoms, eating patterns, lifestyle and health history together, we can develop practical recommendations that are appropriate for your circumstances.
Nutritional Therapy may include dietary changes and lifestyle strategies designed to support digestive health, with recommendations adjusted over time according to your needs and progress.
You can learn more about Nutritional Therapy from the Nutritional Therapists of Ireland (NTOI).

At the clinic we use a number of dietary interventions to help manage digestive problems. What you eat can play a significant role in digestive health. A good quality, balanced diet can support digestive health and overall well being, while poor dietary choices may contribute to digestive symptoms.
At the clinic we use our professional knowledge and experience to help determine which dietary approach is most appropriate for your individual needs.

Nutritional supplements
Although we believe a healthy diet can provide you with the optimum nutrition your body needs. We use nutritional supplements when needed to support the management of digestive problems. At the clinic we use our professional expertise to help guide you through the maze of supplements, if you need them and what type to consider.
Herbal remedies
Herbal remedies are a traditional natural healing method. We use herbs in a variety of forms such as supplements, tea infusions or tinctures at the clinic. Where appropriate, herbs may be included as part of an individual programme to support the management of IBS and digestive symptoms.
Hydrotherapy
The general aim of hydrotherapy is to stimulate blood flow. This is important because blood carries nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and in turn carries cellular waste away. We use hydrotherapy as a tonic, to detoxify the body and to stimulate vitality. At the clinic we use hydrotherapy in a number of different ways. This includes a variety of methods such wraps, compresses, showers, sprays and baths.

Physical therapy
Chronic muscular imbalances can also lead to postural problems. An imbalance in your muscular/skeletal system can affect your digestive system. This in turn can worsen disgetsive problems such as IBS. At the clinic we use therapeutic massage, lymphatic pumps, muscle energy and neuromuscular techniques to help resolve muscular issues. We also work directly on the digestive system with various massage techniques.
Mental/emotional therapeutics
Stress management is a core component of our work at IBS Clinic. The is a strong association between stress and digestive problems such as IBS. A variety of exercises are taught to help manage stress such as progressive relaxation, breathing exercises, meditation, visualization, positive affirmations & emotional freedom technique. We also provide an understanding environment at the clinic to help support your journey back to health. Our approach is informed by an MSc in Applied Psychology.
