Clinic Notes
On this page we will post articles and news items for you to download and read.
These could be about health and fitness topics that are in the news, issues that concern people about their health, or explanations of the treatments that Rob McGuinness uses at the Munster Treatment Rooms Clinic. Sometimes the articles may be seasonal, or they may concentrate on a specific condition or problem.
Good health isn’t just about fixing things when they go wrong, it’s also important to understand what you can do to prevent problems in the first place, and that too is one of the prime functions of the Clinic and the work that Rob does.
If you have comments or questions, then please contact us.

 Back to School – Back to Bags and Backs!
A message for Primary & Secondary Students from September, 2011
You’re only barely back at school and I’ve already treated some of you for lower back problems!
The media frequently carries stories about the weight of schoolbags and while many schools are being creative in how they are tackling this – iPads and the like – the problem persists.
