UNA BURKE
BSc (Hons) Physio, MISCP
Una is a Chartered Physiotherapist with a special interest in Musculo-Skeletal and Sports Injuries. She graduated from UCD in 2001 with an Honours Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy. Upon completion of her degree, she spent four years working in St Joseph’s Hospital, Raheny, gaining valuable experience in the core areas of neurology, respiratory, rheumatology, and orthopaedics. In 2006, she moved to New York, where she spent over six years working in a private physio setting. She returned to Ireland in 2012 and joined a physio clinic in Lucan. Here, she also worked in an Occupational Health setting and, through this role, gained valuable experience in ergonomics, manual handling, and patient education.
Una’s approach combines manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient-focused education to enable and empower people to lead fully inclusive lives. Throughout her career, Una has made clinical education a priority. She has completed numerous postgraduate courses, including orthotic prescription, dry needling, and courses focused on assessing, treating, and restoring normal biomechanics.
Outside of work, Una likes to maintain an active lifestyle through running and hiking. Since retiring from playing Gaelic Football and Camogie, she continues to keep her links with GAA strong by working with her local GAA club, Blackhall Gaels.
