Gina Durcan

BSc Hons Physiotherapy, Manchester Metropolitan University


Gina joined the team here at Westport Physiotherapy Clinic in September 2021.
She obtained her BSc Hons Physiotherapy degree from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2016 and began her career working for the NHS in North Manchester General Hospital. Here she gained valuable experience completing the core rotations as a junior, then working as a senior in the Musculoskeletal Outpatients Department before returning home in 2018 to work in the community in Mayo.

Gina is also a qualified acupuncturist and uses acupuncture to treat musculoskeletal related conditions. Both acupuncture and physiotherapy are known to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Many people think of these modalities as separate and unrelated, but when combined together, there are synergistic effects that can improve musculoskeletal injury and provide pain relief. providing lasting results.

Gina is from the lovely village of Turlough and has always had a grá for sport, both watching and playing. In 2019 Gina sustained an ACL knee injury and as part of the rehabilitaiton she started attending Physio-led Pilates classes which first sparked her interest in Pilates. Since then Gina have qualified as an APPI Pilates Instructor and runs several classes per week here in Westport and at Turlough Community Centre.

When she's not working she love socialising with her friends and family, running, kayaking and climbing mountains galore. She love to travel and explore new places, Mayo really is a wonderful county to explore.
