The elbowroom clinic stress clinic offers a comprehensive diagnostic and stress management service. Chose from our BASIC or PLUS package to get a clinical diagnosis of your current stress. This programme runs in conjunction with our partner in the UK, a global leader in functional laboratory testing. Once we have your results, together we can action a plan for change.
Stress is an everyday part of being alive. However when it reaches a certain level it can begin to have a detrimental effect on our ability to enjoy full health. There comes a point when, either due to its intensity or duration, stress can begin to take its toll on the functioning of the adrenal glands.
The hormones produced by the adrenal glands are central to numerous functions in the body. When the adrenal glands become fatigued many seemingly unrelated symptoms can begin to present.
Do any of these seem familiar to you?
Thank you so much those of you who gave us feedback about the unlimited passes. We have listened to you and would now like to introduce the new changes.
The main objective is to increase your enjoyment of the studio and make classes more accessible to everyone who wants to participate. The incidence of those not showing up or cancelling at the last count, has now reached a critical level so this now must be addressed to ensure people get the classes they wish to take. Roughly 5 per class are now not showing up.
So based on your feedback the following changes will be implemented by Wednesday 28th of September which gives us a couple of weeks to get used to them:
Whilst your baby or babies grew in your abdomen, the muscles at the front of your belly were pushed out and pulled apart. About 3 months after the birth of your baby, the muscles should have returned back together.
At the elbowroom clinic we come in contact with hundreds of postnatal women every year availing of classes and clinic services. A growing issue we have become aware of over the last 24 months is that of diastasis or postnatal abdominal muscle separation.
This is not a new phenomenon. One study shows 39% of women’s abdomen’s will typically not recover fully with other studies indicating up to 65% of women will suffer from diastasis post giving birth. Furthermore, the gap can worsen if women do sit-up type exercises or use a baby sling.
“It was only when at The elbowroom that during my mum and baby yoga class the teacher tested my stomach muscles. I was alarmed to feel a three finger gap between my muscles,” said one client. “I was experiencing back pain and seeing a bulge appearing on my tummy when doing sit ups.
In response, over the past 24 months we have developed a full treatment protocol with … Read More

We are looking to run a competition for a new design of a logo. There is an online site in the US to which I can submit my design to a group of designers and only the chosen design gets paid for. However, in light of buying Irish – we are going to do the same thing here.
The name of the initiative is Trust in Birth and we are going to move it to it’s own facebook page along with showing it on our parents related web page http://www.the-elbowroom.com/pregnancy-postnatal/
Submit your design and the winner will get two months of free classes, 3 free clinic treatments or €150 cash.
Here is a logo we were using before
And here is the palette of colours we want to use
It will need to sit along side our elbowroom logo in some situations so keep that in mind. Keep it contemporary and stylish.
Please submit all logo’s by the 20th of August for entry into the competition. Send entries to info@the-elbowroom.com. If we need any tweaks we will let you know. Once we have picked the winner, all ownership of the … Read More
Great news, Lisa Wilkinson has been nominated in this year’s Business Parent of the Year for the Maternity and Infant awards.
We hope that the panel of judges will recognize the brilliant work done by The elbowroom in providing great services for pregnant women and new mums. Fingers crossed! We are feeling very proud.
Maternity and Infant magazine is an excellent publication and we recommend you pass on news of their awards schemes (people, products, creches) to anyone else you might know who deserves a pat on the back and a bit of exposure.
Lisa Wilkinson was pregnant with her now 8-year-old daughter, Tuilelaith, when she opened The elbowroom in February 2003. She has since given birth to her 2-year-old little boy, Sean. For the past 9 years Lisa has juggled life as a mum and self-employed business person to provide a centre with the pre and post natal needs of women and children at the centre of her business.
The elbowroom has grown from a yoga, Pilates, fitness centre into an important community resource for physical and mental health. Every year so many women benefit from the care and antenatal education they receive through the elbowroom’s prenatal … Read More
