ELDOA is a method created by French osteopath Dr Guy Voyer. ELDOA is a French acronym which means deep longitudinal osteo decoaptation. There’s an ELDOA for every joint in the spine. Basically we are trying to create space in the joints for better circulation, blood flow, posture, muscle recovery and to decrease the risk of disc degeneration and much more. Classes are online.

I’ve witnessed work his craft for about 25 years.

Even though I’ve seen him present at fitness conventions; facilitate workshops & courses; coach Olympic athletes & support the healing process with those who feel broken with his comprehensive and incredibly thorough assessment process, it still brings stars and love hearts to my eyes 🥰

He may be “brutal” or “abrupt” with his approach - he won’t bulls% and will tell you straight up. (With your best interest at heart)

Passionate is an understatement. He is a technician and has finesse when it comes to assessing the body - it still blows me away how brilliant he really is at this work. He was the only person that hit me walking and preventing surgery when I had a back injury and I know literally thousands who have had the fortune of working with D (that’s what some of us call him).

I asked Donal how many assessments he’d done over his last 30yrs in the industry, (24 as a chek professional) and he was stumped to come up with a figure 🤣

He did remind me of the time we were part of the fitness team at the opening of Westwood Clontarf - where we assessed 1000 members prior to the gym opening. We then assessed the trainers and taught them….that was 24 yrs ago! So literally thousands of assessments!

A post of gratitude and recognition to you Mr Carr. Thankyou for your work, passion and care for your clients.

Love wifey
