Delighted & honoured to be nominated…
Fiona Costello Chartered Physiotherapist and APPI Pilates Instructor
Health and wellness
I am honoured to have received nominations in the category of ‘Health and Wellness’. My career choice began with an active farming upbringing in Armagh and a passion for making people better. I studied in Glasgow graduating top of the year. This cemented a love for a holistic approach to physiotherapy and exercise rehabilitation. Having gained experience in UHK and abroad I made the daunting leap to establish the physiotherapy practice within Fairies Cross Medical Centre in 2006. With support of GPs , fantastic associate physios and a loyal client base this resulted in a successful physio clinic over the last 16 years. I teach Aqua jogging classes in Tralee. Regular participants are a testament that 'exercise works' -hence the growing waiting list. I’ve been teaching Pilates since 2008; COVID -19 required change and pushed me online, initially as a support group and now a with an online virtual audience following in their own time & convenience from home. My husband Joe and I have 4 active children with a love of sports .. I now hold the role of Healthy club officer within our local GAA club and am working on initiatives for club and community health.
