About
Eimear Keane.
Chartered Sports Physiotherapist
VIA Physiotherapy is a private physiotherapy clinic based in Drumcondra Dublin 3. We offer expert, evidence-based care for people of all ages and abilities. Whether it's everyday aches and pains or high-level sports injuries, VIA aims to help you understand your injury and get back to doing what you love.
I deliver consistent, evidence-based care across all settings — from professional sport and private practice to my other post as a Clinical Specialist in Musculoskeletal triage at Tallaght University Hospital where I work in outpatient Triage clinics with various orthopaedic surgeons. My work is grounded in clinical reasoning, with a strong focus on accurate diagnosis, structured treatment planning, and individualised care aligned with each person's goals.
I value clear communication and education, supporting people to better understand their injury or pain, restore movement, and return to meaningful activity and performance.
My approach to strength-based rehabilitation has been shaped by my work in professional sport and working within large multi-disciplinary teams, where I developed a structured, data-driven model centred on objective assessment and progressive loading — principles that underpin how I practise today.
The name
'Via' originates from the Latin word for 'way,' 'road,' or 'path' — a route taken or a method used. The word indicates a stopover, an intermediate step, or the channel through which something is achieved. Perfectly applicable for how we help you get back to things you love.
Career
International experience.
A varied career in sports physiotherapy across the Pacific Rim and Europe — public health, professional sport, and private practice in each.
Eimear qualified with a BSc in Physiotherapy from Trinity College in 2013, then spent ten years in Singapore, Melbourne, and Sydney before returning to Dublin in 2023. Career highlights include team physiotherapist with the Sydney Swans Football Club for the women's team's inaugural season; clinical educator with one of Australia's leading physiotherapy private practice groups across six clinics in Sydney and Melbourne; and team physiotherapy roles with Randwick Rugby Club, Yarra Ariels Netball Club, and youth teams with Singapore Rugby.
Since returning to Ireland, Eimear has worked for two years as clinical specialist physiotherapist at SPARC Dublin, alongside part-time roles at Blackrock Clinic and Tallaght University Hospital.
Eimear holds a Masters of Sports and Exercise Physiotherapy from La Trobe University in Melbourne (2018–2021), with learning placements at the New South Wales Institute of Sport, the GWS Giants AFL team, and the Melbourne Orthopaedic Group's hip and groin clinic. Postgraduate study includes diagnostic radiology prescribing (UCD), dry needling, athletic shoulder rehabilitation, ASCA Level 1 S&C, DMA Pilates, and Complex Pain with the NOI Group.
Eimear contracts to Swim Ireland, Paralympic Ireland Swimming, and Australian Sailing for international training camps and competitions.
