Ailish Toomey

Qualified from:

University College Dublin

Past employment:

Started off in the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Ireland, then in private practices in London, Melbourne and Sydney, and finished up at Six Physio

Working background:

Whilst doing a rotation in the maternity wing of the MWRH shortly after graduating I started training in Pilates, which then lead me to move to London for further training. From then I have only worked in places, around the world, where I can teach pilates and incorporate it into my rehab work.

I have also worked at many running events over the years providing tips on how to prep for events and how to look after your body well in the process. Running lots and doing triathlons myself helps with giving advice, and enables me to lead the Running service at Six Physio. The same goes for golf as I have been playing since I was a teenager and got down to a handicap of 13, which since becoming a fair weather golfer in more recent years, I only occasionally play to!

Your almost most-outstanding achievement:

Getting a hole in one on a par 3, but it was actually a recovery shot after losing my first ball so was only a par in the end

What would you cook if I came round for dinner?

Something carb heavy

Where should we go on holiday?

Somewhere by the sea

If you could take one thing into space, what would it be:

A space ship

What’s the one thing you haven’t confessed to your parents?

If they don’t know, I won’t be telling you either!
