About

Colin O'Shaughnessy is a rehabilitation specialist and performance coach, and the founder of Elite Fitness Cork. With a background in elite sport as a World Kickboxing Champion, Colin brings a unique blend of high-performance experience and practical rehabilitation expertise to his work with clients of all ages and abilities.
Colin specialises in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, injury recovery, and return-to-performance programming. His approach focuses on identifying the root cause of pain or dysfunction, restoring strength and mobility, and building long-term resilience — not just short-term symptom relief. He works with individuals recovering from acute injuries, chronic pain conditions, post-surgical rehabilitation, and sports-related issues.
Through Revive Recovery Room at Elite Fitness Cork, Colin integrates advanced recovery modalities into structured rehabilitation plans, including:
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation
Shockwave Therapy for targeted treatment of tendon and soft tissue injuries
Compression Cryotherapy to accelerate recovery and manage inflammation
Colin’s philosophy centres on education, movement quality, and progressive strength development. He believes rehabilitation should empower clients — helping them return not only to baseline function, but to a stronger, more capable version of themselves.
By combining hands-on rehabilitation expertise with cutting-edge recovery technology, Colin provides a comprehensive, results-driven pathway from pain and injury back to full performance and confidence.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”

— Mr Colin O'Shaughnessy
