About Us

Paddy O'rourke

chartered physiotherapist

Paddy O’Rourke qualified as a Physiotherapist from Northumbria University in Newcastle in 2011. Remaining in the UK he gained 3 years experience under the guidance of a Premier League Physiotherapist primarily treating sports injuries, acute neck pain, back injuries, sciatica, whiplash and general aches and pains. 

Continuing his career in Canada he added Dry Needling, Functional Movement Screening (FMS), advanced massage techniques and instructing mat Pilates to his skill set. Working in Treloar Physiotherapy in Vancouver provided a platform for Paddy to rehabilitate more extreme spinal, shoulder and lower limb injuries related to skiing and mountain biking.

 Working closely to highly experienced international physiotherapists has helped Paddy stand out from the crowd and he has gained a reputation for improving injuries quickly and efficiently no matter how acute or chronic the issue is. He goes through a rigorous assessment in the initial appointment and usually begins treatment with effective hands-on treatment techniques to improve pain and function. He will then provide the most effective movement techniques to continue to improve the quality of the injured area and to ensure the pain does not return.

 Paddy is a member of the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists and CORU registered.

Eoin Keating

chartered physiotherapist

The Physio Guys were very happy and lucky to add Eoin to the team in 2023. Eoin is a very experienced MSK physiotherapist with over 12 years of private practice experience in Canada and Ireland as well as being associated with Rugby teams in Limerick. He blends traditional and modern treatment philosophies to get to the main driver behind your movement dysfunction that’s causing your pain. He is excellent at finding areas in your body that may have been over looked previously and he enjoys the challenge of getting even the most chronic of injuries back to 100%.

Eoin has a keen interest in biomechanics, and in particular treating pain arising from poor movement and posture. Eoin enjoyed a long Gaelic football and soccer career, before running his first Marathon this year and these interests give him a deep understanding of the injuries associated with them.

Eoin uses manual therapy (including dry needling) corrective exercises and strength work to treat a whole host of musculoskeletal issues.
