"I initially made contact with Miley in December 2024 when my son was diagnosed with
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and Benign Hypermobility Joint Syndrome. At
the time, Miley was still in the process of setting up his practice, yet he took the time to speak
with me in detail. He helped me to better understand my son’s diagnoses and clearly
explained how physiotherapy could support his development. Miley assured me he would be
back in contact to arrange an assessment appointment in February 2025.
True to his word, Miley scheduled the appointment for February, and my son has been
attending the clinic regularly since. During this time, my son Jake’s progress has been
remarkable. We have seen significant improvements in his core strength, balance,
coordination, and overall physical ability. Miley’s sessions are always engaging,
encouraging, and tailored specifically to Jake’s needs, which has resulted in Jake always
being happy and excited to attend.
Miley is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the children he works with.
He takes the time to explain goals, progress, and exercises in a way that is easy to understand,
and he always makes Jake feel supported and comfortable. Miley has gone above and beyond
to support Jake by sharing additional resources and exercises for us to work on between
sessions, and he has even taken the time to speak with Jake’s SET teacher to ensure Jake is
receiving the best possible support at school also.
I cannot recommend Miley highly enough and am extremely grateful for the positive impact
he has had on my son’s development".

"We have been working with Miley Joyce for physiotherapy, and we are very thankful for the support our son has received.
Miley was available very quickly, which was so helpful for our family, as waiting times are usually very long. Being able to start therapy without delay made a real difference. It is also very reassuring to have consistent therapy sessions, rather than gaps or changing therapists.
Miley wrote an extensive and detailed report, which clearly shows how well he understands the full medical situation and the challenges involved. He looks at the whole picture, not just individual symptoms.
What we especially appreciate is how well Miley works with our son. He does not just follow exercises in a rigid way. He understands that repeating the same exercises for a long time can become boring, especially for a child, and he is very flexible, changing things when needed while still working towards the same goals.
Miley has a great connection with our son and gives full attention during each session. He is calm, kind, and focused, and our son feels comfortable and understood.
Communication is excellent, emails are answered promptly, and everything is handled in a professional and reliable way.
Overall, it is a pleasure to work with Miley Joyce, and we feel confident in the care our son is receiving. We would highly recommend him".

"Miley is absolutely amazing with our son who has complexed needs. He is exceptional in his WORK, he has brought our Son on so much in the last 3yrs.
Miley is so kind and patient and really understands our boy and what works best for him and his needs. He takes great interest in him and gives us so much support.
Our boy is hitting milestones in his physio with Miley through fun & play that will carry him through life. We can't recommend Miley enough, he is the best kids Physiotherapist by far & an absolute gentleman with a lovely way about him.
For anyone needing physio for their child, Miley at Kids Physiotherapy Waterford is the way to go. We would be lost without him.
Thanks Miley for all your hard work with our son".

"Really can not recommend Miley Joyce from Kids Physiotherapy enough. He has done amazing work with my daughter who has hypermobility and retained reflexes. Miley has gone over and beyond to help her. Since she's been attending Kids Physiotherapy I see a huge improvement with her balance, co ordination and confidence, and her joints are not as painful. My daughter loves going to see Miley and she is really comfortable with him as he makes her physiotherapy fun!".

"I would highly recommend Miley. I have been bringing my 2.5 year old son to Miley for over 6 months. My son has additional needs, including very low muscle tone. Miley could see the potential in my son and always pushes him to do the most that his body is capable of, which is amazing to see. Miley is such a trustworthy, compassionate and intelligent person. He truly cares for the progression of your child and holds such a passion for his job. My son loves attending his sessions and has the best fun.
On a personal level, and as a physiotherapist, Miley is the best you will find".
