About me

My name is David Cowan, and I am a Private Physiotherapist based in Dunfermline, Fife.

I have extensive knowledge of sport, having been an ex-professional footballer for 16 years, playing for Newcastle United FC, Motherwell FC, St Johnstone FC, Dundee FC, Gretna FC, and four other clubs, winning four league and cup trophies.

After suffering several major injuries and retiring from professional sport in 2015, I made the decision to study physiotherapy, graduating with a First-Class Honours degree. Since 2017, I have worked alongside one of Scotland’s top Physiotherapists, Stuart Barton, at his main clinic in Anstruther. In December 2022, I opened a new Physiotherapy clinic room in Dunfermline, bringing my knowledge and experience to the west side of Fife.

 

I specialise in Musculoskeletal, Orthopaedic, Neurological, and Sports Injuries, focusing on diagnosis and treatments ranging from Spinal Manipulation, Joint Articulation and Mobilisation, Acupuncture, and soft tissue massage to Sports and K-Tape strapping, Exercise prescription, Gym programmes, and early- to late-stage pre- and post-operative rehabilitation.

Steven
Top physio and top guy

Top physio and top guy. Been seeing David for years now and he always gives a spot-on assessment of the injury, then the right treatment and rehab to get me fixed and back playing. He has a great setup and gym beside his studio which is perfect for the rehab side of things… 

Johnny
Exceptional service

David has been my Physiotherapist for almost two years, prior to and post ACL reconstruction surgery. He has been a joy to work with, providing me with detailed, personalised plans and sessions to help me with my recovery process. David has given me the confidence to push myself on a consistent basis which has led to me getting back to playing football which was my main goal. I would recommend David to anyone who is considering Physiotherapy treatment! He has been a pleasure to work with…
