Business Of The Week

Body Balance Neuromuscular Therapy, which originally opened at the beginning of 2020, is based in Whitebridge Manor on the outskirts of Killarney town.

Owned and run by Kieran Slattery, NMT, it is a hands on bodywork therapy specialising in the treatment of soft tissue pain and injury.

"My background has been heavily influenced by my participation and interest in various sports," Kieran told the Killarney advertiser.

"This combined with spending many hours under the care of therapists of different disciplines trying to work through various sports injuries and back problems has led to my interest in the human body; how it functions, and what can be done to minimise the risk of injury and improve overall physical health. This has led to a passion in health and well-being and the idea to study Neuromuscular Therapy with the National Training Centre."

After completing his studies Kieran opened Body Balance NMT to help people with their physical health.

"As a health care professional I aim to examine each individual and develop a plan to promote the ability to restore full pain free function and movement whether in daily life or a sports and exercise capacity."

A number of services are available including Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Injury/Pain Treatment, and Event/Pitch-Side Services.

Treatment sessions last for one hour at a cost of €50. You can find Body Balance NMT on Instagram @bodybalancenmt, email bodybalancenmt@gmail.com, or phone at 083 0697422. Fully insured and ANMT certified. Available evenings and weekends.
