Vincent M. Burke, PT, DPT, MPT, BS, CSCS
President and Director of Physical Therapy
I take pleasure in introducing myself, Vincent M. Burke, a Licensed Master Physical Therapist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and a Work Hardening Specialist. I have over twenty years of broad-based experience and have attained optimum results. My area of expertise in rehabilitation is Orthopedics and Sports Medicine no mater the age, gender or movement dysfunction. My other specialty is in personal training and athletic performance training. This I do for the individual, small group, team, and/or speaker/presenter/facilitator for professional higher education clinics to camps for training and/or injury prevention programs.
My didactic credentials consist of a Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with Summa Cum Laude honors, where I recently completed for the Doctorate Program in Physical Therapy. My undergraduate degrees were awarded from Farleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey and Barry University in North Miami, Florida. I am an active member in both the American Physical Therapy Association and Orthopedic Division, along with the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the National Safety for Youth Sports. I am also on nationwide forums sharing my expertise for treatment and training.
While practicing in Florida, I taught athletic trainers at Florida Atlantic University. I also was the strength and conditioning coach for Chris Evertt’s Tennis Academy and Chris Carter’s Fast Program. As a physical therapist, I was the team therapist for the Harrid Dance Conservatory Academy and many of the local high schools and colleges while working for Palm Beach Institute of Sports Medicine. Here in New Jersey, I was the therapist for the Newark Bears and the New Jersey Nets for SportsCare Institute. I also was the strength and conditioning coach for figure skaters at the Ice House in Hackensack. Infinity Fitness & Sports Institute is presently the training team for the New Jersey Mariners and many of the youth athletes in the area. I have twice been a guest speaker on News 12 New Jersey, where I spoke of athletic injuries and treatment, as well as children and weight training. I have also been a guest on ESPN’s NFL Countdown, performing functional rehabilitation for professional football players, and have published several articles relating to youth training, athletic performance and injury reduction.
Over the years, my Orthopedic and Sports Medicine practice is in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, which includes all types of patients of all ages, from the active aging with medical and orthopedic post operative pathologies such as joint replacements, Achilles tendon tears, rotator cuff tears to obstetrics. As for the pediatrics who may have typical growing pains, severs disease, osteochondritis dissecans, labrum tears, rotator cuff injury, little league elbow, scoliosis and obesity to name a few. Additionally, I treat numerous athletes, from Olympians, professionals, and amateurs, including, but not limited to the fields of football, basketball, baseball, soccer, softball, ice-skating, karate, tennis, dance, golf, and hockey. However, many of my patients require care simply from work-related injuries, neurological impairments, wound care, home care, and the like.
As for my personal training, I have the same outcomes as my rehabilitation…RESULTS. I have trained great athletes and hopefuls from all sports, ages, and genders. I have trained the five year old figure skater,the female ALL State Softball players and college and professional athlete. I am also a two-time NPC NJ body building champion. My photos have been published in, Body Building,
A Realistic Approach, by Frank Melfa.
My passion is fitness and wellness, but my love is my family. I have my wife of 15 years, Toni, my 7 year old- son Cavan, and my 5 year-old daughter Casie. We enjoy the being with family,outdoors and boating.
I would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in Infinity Fitness & Sports Institute. I can assure you only a great experience that will be professional, purposeful, fun and always with RESULTS.
Best, Your Therapist and Trainer,
Vince
