Accelerating Recovery
through
Tailored Movement & Exercise
Elaine Harrington is a Chartered Physiotherapist and Pilates instructor with over twelve years experience in Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Graduating from the University of Limerick in 2008 with a BSc in Physiotherapy, Elaine has worked primarily in private practice managing a range of acute and chronic conditions including spinal pain, headache, upper and lower limb pathology and sports injuries. Elaine has also worked closely with a number of senior and semi-professional rugby, soccer and hurling teams in both New Zealand and Ireland. In 2017, Elaine completed a Masters in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy with the University of Queensland, and received a certificate in Women’s Health Physiotherapy in 2018 with the Women’s Health Training Associates Pty Ltd.
During her time practicing overseas, Elaine’s interest in Pilates grew as she found using precise movements and guided, prescribed exercise, enhanced and accelerated the recovery of her clients. She completed her clinical Pilates training with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute in 2013 gaining full certification in both mat and equipment Pilates. Elaine believes in facilitating recovery through movement and exercise, and has found Pilates to be particularly beneficial in achieving pain free movement, restoring mobility and improving strength, balance and flexibility in clients of all ages and abilities.
In recent years, Elaine has worked more and more with pre- and post-natal clients, offering pelvic health physiotherapy and physiotherapy treatment for a range of pregnancy related conditions. She is especially interested in guiding pre- and post-natal women through safe exercise during pregnancy, and offering a safe, individually tailored pathway back into activity postpartum.
Following the birth of her first child in 2020, Elaine decided to apply her knowledge and experience as a physiotherapist, a Pilates instructor and a new mum to start InForm Physiotherapy & Pilates, and help deliver the high quality care she experienced overseas to service her local community in the west of Ireland.
