BALLINCOLLIG CLINIC BACK UP AND RUNNING

Well, after a few months digging in here in Clonakilty, I have decided to relaunch the clinic in Ballincollig. This week, I had an editorial in the Cork Independent and the feedback I have received has been huge. The editorial seems to have hit the nail on the head when it comes to people just not feeling right in their own bodies! We all know what it feels like to pull a muscle, or to injure your shoulder or indeed to wake up after a late night in front of the computer.
Most people feel a bit silly going to their GP or Physio saying, 'Well, I just feel a bit achy when I wake up in the morning and it takes me a while to be able to move comfortably'......this complaint is so much more widespread than we would think. However, as life sees us move away from 'hunter gatherer' type rolls and more towards 'search engines and car engines', we have also become less mobile and less active. That ache between your shoulder blades when you try to lift your baby after a days work, that niggling pain that repeatedly rears its head when you try to run after the dog....these can often be caused by old neglected, tight soft tissue injuries that healed but were never fully 'ironed out'.
Not only can I stretch, lighten, relax and relieve tight muscles, but I will also show you what to do at home so that you can keep them limber.
Clinics continue on an ongoing basis in Clonakilty, and the Ballincollig clinic returns on the 18th of July at the Old Town House at the entrance to Muskerry Estate (where the Osteopathy clinic is by Cronin's Dentist). This clinic now has only 3 appointments left folks -although if these book up soon, I may put on a second day. Hope to stretch you soon ;))

COMPETITION TIME - 3 FREE FST SESSIONS

Good Morning All,
It is a cloudy but warm morning here in West Cork and with the impending arrival of a heat wave (come on people....posiive thinking please).... I find myself in a particularly good mood.
That is why I am going to launch a competition today. So, if you are a runner in the middle of race season, if you spend your days in the gym lifting heavy, or if you sit at a computer 35 hrs a week, you will benefit from this competition. I would like you to email me on fiona@westcorkfit.ie and tell me why you need to be stretched. Do you hold tension in your shoulders, have you got a niggly pain that is preventing you from achieving full range of movement in a joint, do you have an injury that is slow to recover?.....maybe you would like to enter this competition worth €170?
Again.....all you have to do is email me on fiona@westcorkfit.ie and tell me why you think you should win.
This competition is open to all my previous FST clients as well, so don't delay in emailing me today. This competition will run until next Saturday and the winner will be announced on Sunday. The only fine print about this comp is that the winner must be willing to be interviewed about their experience.
Get writing in folks, and let's get you stretched!
