Meet Alan Burke DO
Osteopath and Exercise Physiologist
I have 30 years of experience in manual therapy mostly working in West London until moving to Kerry in 2020.
I used to be an International standard pole vaulter and Irish record holder competing for the Republic of Ireland. As an athlete I found that Osteopathic treatment worked better for me and my initial interest in Osteopathy was formed.
I trained at the College of Osteopaths in London graduating in Osteopathic Medicine in 2000. I have also studied Cranial/Sacral with the Sutherland Cranial College in the UK.
Since then I have worked mainly in Richmond Surrey in a busy multi-discipline practice and I have worked with many International athletes including World and Olympic Champions.
I have many years experience working with elite young athletes. I spent 5 years treating club and International standard gymnasts at the top gymnastics club in the UK. As well as sports people I also have many years of experience treating all age groups of the general public.
I have previously lectured and examined Osteopathic students at two Osteopathic colleges and have lectured for the Osteopathic Sports Care Association.

Why Osteopathy?
Joint and muscle pain
Using stretching and mobilising techniques as well as joint manipulating, an Osteopath works with the body to create the perfect conditions to facilitate the healing process.
Conditions
Osteopaths treat back and neck pain, joint and muscle pain, headaches, sciatica, foot pain, neuralgia, sports injury plus many other conditions.
Treatment
Osteopathic treatment and rehabilitation advice will be personal to you and will aim to balance your bodies biomechanics to promote a speedy and safe recovery.
Sports Injury
Correct diagnosis of your injury is essential if you want to get back to training. The treatment plan will take into consideration your biomechanics and will include hands on treatment and an exercise protocol for you.
Orthotics
Wearing custom orthotics in your shoes can help treat many problems that cause joint and muscle pain. They work by improving foot position and altering your body’s biomechanics.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy also known as Cranial Sacral therapy is a subtle but effective treatment that can help adults and babies. I have studied with the Sutherland Cranial College in the UK.
