Brian McGowan

Physiotherapist | Movement + Holistic Rehabilitation

Brian is a warm, enthusiastic and open-minded physiotherapist who believes that movement should be enjoyable and that recovery involves more than simply treating an injury. With a passion for exploring how the body moves and responds to physical and emotional challenges, Brian takes a holistic and individual approach to helping people feel more comfortable, confident and connected with their bodies.

Drawing on his background in sports science, physiotherapy and therapeutic Tai Chi, Brian combines traditional rehabilitation, hands-on treatment and movement-based exercises with an appreciation of the role relaxation and nervous system regulation can play in recovery. His approach is particularly suited to those looking to improve their movement, manage persistent discomfort or rebuild confidence in their physical abilities.

A former collegiate sprinter, Brian has a particular interest in running mechanics, gait and the many different ways people move. His academic background includes a BSc in Sports and Exercise Science from the University of Limerick, an MSc in Exercise Science from Northern Michigan University and an MSc in Physiotherapy from Queen Margaret University. His experience includes working with collegiate athletes, cardiac rehabilitation patients and coaching football.

Outside the clinic, Brian is a lifelong adventurer with an infectious enthusiasm for movement. Whether dancing, skating, slacklining, sailing or swimming, he embraces opportunities to explore what the body can do. This sense of curiosity and playfulness is central to his philosophy: helping people not just recover from injury but rediscover the freedom and enjoyment of moving well.
