Miss Aoife Whelan
Physiotherapist
Originally from Ireland Aoife is an experienced senior physiotherapist who has made Queenstown her home for the last 7 years. She loves the variety of the incredibly active community here and the value they place on physiotherapy. Her practice revolves strongly around manual therapy including dry-needling and massage to calm injured tissues but ultimately her goal is to get you into the gym to bridge the gap from injury to performance and getting you back to doing what you love. Alongside gym-based training she has over 4 years of experience as a pilates instructor so can confidently tailor a rehab program that is right for you. She appreciates clients who are curious and motivated who want to take their rehab to the next level. Over the past 2 years she has also completed further education in the area of pelvic health after a 6-month stint working in a maternity hospital in Dublin. She loves being able to combine her knowledge of the pelvic floor and her musculoskeletal background to provide a full systems approach particularly to her female population. Over the years she has worked with various sports teams including soccer and rugby. She loves training herself and takes part in both Gaelic football and muay thai at competitive levels as well as being a keen trail runner and mountain-biker View details »
Recovery Area
Recovery
Our recovery space is equipped with Normatec compression boots and percussion therapy. $30 for 45 minute recovery session Normatec is the leader in rapid recovery - giving you a competitive edge that only elite athletes have access to. Compressed air massages your limbs, mobilizes fluid, and speeds recovery with the Normatec pulse massage pattern. You will first experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the connected attachments are moulded to your exact body shape. The session will then begin by compressing your feet, then calves, and then your upper thigh. Similar to the kneading and stroking done during a massage, each segment of the attachment will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release. This will repeat for each segment of the attachment as the compression pattern works its way up your limb. What are the benefits? INCREASES BLOOD FLOW/ CIRCULATION - Normatec’s patented pulse massage pattern employs three key techniques – pulsing, distal release, and gradients. PROMOTES HEALING AND RECOVERY - Integrate your recovery session seamlessly into your training plan. DECREASES MUSCLE FATIGUE AFTER ACUTE EXERCISE - Flush out soreness and bring oxygenated blood to the part of the body furthest from the heart. When should I use the Normatec? Anyone involved in physical acivity who wants to optimise recovery, promote healing and reduce muscle fatigue. The Normatec is ideally suited for use after physical acivity - directly afterwards or within a few days of exercsie. View details »
