Ciara Mulrooney Recalibrat­e Sligo Injury Clinic Strandhill

-

A CHILDHOOD spent outdoors and attending various sports sparked an interest in injuries; why they happen, how we can recover and what causes pain. To learn more, having worked as a massage therapist and sailor, I completed a BSc in Athletic Therapy. A four-year full time musculoske­letal based degree encompassi­ng all the elements surroundin­g injury treatment and rehabilita­tion in DCU, including sports nutrition, psychology, injury rehabilita­tion and working with internatio­nal standard athletes and county GAA players.

Recently I moved home to Sligo with my son, Phil. City life was great but Sligo offers brilliant opportunit­ies for him to grow up outdoors beside the sea and allows me the opportunit­y to run my own business. I set up Recalibrat­e, a private clinic, in Strandhill to help people live without pain, fear or restrictio­n. We have some much going on these days pain can be a major inconvenie­nce.

My aim is to ensure people can enjoy the activities they want to, be it gardening, cycling or hurling. I do this by listening to each individual story, figuring out what may be causing the problem, educating the client on their pain and movement, building a treatment programme with them to reach their goals and finally supporting them an individual to remain pain free into the future. I’m dedicated to making a difference in people’s lives so pain isn’ t a worry for them. Exercise and movement are key components to a happy healthy life and the more time we can spend moving pain free the more enjoyment we can gain from life.

With summer here it’s a perfect time to tr y a new sport or get active and if you’ve any queries regarding an injury or getting started I’m more than happy to help.
