The Team at Cheltenham Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic

After completing her junior rotational training at Cardiff, she went on to work in Canada.

Here Jane gained lots of experience working with amputees, where the patients were followed through from surgery to discharge, so included extensive fitness, exercise and gait rehabilitation. Skills which Jane still draws upon today.

Whilst at Cardiff, Jane worked with some of the very first anterior cruciate reconstruction surgery, and this sparked her ongoing interest and extensive knowledge of knees and their rehabilitation post- surgery.

On returning from Canada, Jane joined the knee team at Westhill hospital, Dartford, where she worked closely with the knee consultants, and the rehabilitation of pre and post operative knees.

Prior to joining Cheltenham Physiotherapy Clinic Jane worked as the extended scope practitioner in the knee clinic at Cheltenham General Hospital, where she was involved with diagnosis and triage of all types of knee injuries.

In recent years Jane has developed a further interest in tendon injuries, and has attended courses to learn about the current thinking and management of tendon problems, for example shoulder, Achilles, elbow and patella.

She is also a trained Ossur fitter for ACL and osteoarthritic knee braces. Jane is a keen skier and squash player, enjoys the theatre and loves to cook.

Jeremy Gowan joined the Cheltenham Physiotherapy in August 2020. He joins us fresh from a senior physiotherapy position in both a private hospital and a private practice in Dubai. Jeremy is a physiotherapist who gains great satisfaction from getting to the root cause of problems.

He became a Chartered Physiotherapist in 2008 having gained a BSc in Physiotherapy at Bournemouth University. Prior to that he had graduated with a Bsc in Sport and Exercise Science; where his research focussed upon running shoe design’s influence upon injuries.

As a graduate physiotherapist he gained valuable experience rotating through various specialities within the NHS, before concentrating on his chosen speciality of musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Within this field he has enjoyed enhancing many skills including acupuncture, dry needling, clinical pilates, spinal manual therapy, both in the Uk and overseas.

Whilst overseas he expanded his experience working with colleagues from around the world, treating a large spectrum of patients including high level athletes and many work related injuries.

His passion for treating patients comes from the satisfaction of getting to the root cause of problems and allowing patients to maximise their quality of life. This requires tailoring treatment to each patient’s needs, ensuring they are able to not only resolve problems, but also gain an understanding of how to prevent future issues.

Outside of work Jeremy is kept busy with family life, and likes to keep himself fit by running.

She works with patients who have dysfunctional breathing patterns and hyperventilation syndrome, as well as other respiratory diseases such as bronchiectasis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Hannah applies a variety of different treatment methods such as breathing control, chest clearance techniques and relaxation, alongside education and advice to ensure patients fully understand their condition and enable successful self-management. With these tools, patients can gain benefits of increased exercise tolerance and improved sleep, as well as a reduction in anxiety and depression, leading to an overall improvement in their quality of life.

Outside of work, Hannah is a committed member of British Military Fitness and trains 3 times a week. She is also a keen runner who completed the 2015 London marathon and likes participating in mud runs.
