Jack McGowan Physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: Jack is a great Physiotherapist. I went to him after getting steroid injections in both knees. In a few short months he had me pain free and lifting 2kg weights from my ankles, something that I didn't think that I would be able to do. He is a very genuine person and was keen to help me in any way he could. Thanks Jack, and the best of luck for the future. Ernie

Fantastic experience: Jack has been my physio for 4 years since I was 16 as a competitive swimmer. From the start he was very helpful, knowledgeable and always was able to find the roots to my problems, no matter how complex, quickly and successfully. I would highly recommend him !

Fantastic experience: Jack was very reliable and thorough. I consulted with Jack through various sports related injuries and he helped me recover and strengthen the injured areas to avoid future problems. Couldn’t recommend enough. Very genuine provided a great level of treatment.

Fantastic experience: I came to Jack 8 weeks out from an Ironman with an injured calf. He was extremely thorough in his assessment, immediately identified my problem and what I could do. He was also calm about the tricky timeframe which was very encouraging. Happy to say I completed the Ironman and the calf held up. I’ve worked through multiple sports injuries with different physios and Jack was excellent.

Fantastic experience: Jack is patient and thorough. He worked with my teenage son to solve a sports-induced complex problem. Delighted to give him a 5 star rating and recommend him as a physio.

Fantastic experience: We used Physio Jack McGowan in 2026 and 2025. My son had a hamstring tear the first year and on the second occasion in 2026 he had a back injury sting from the physicality of competitive ddsl league soccer. Through these two periods of time getting physio we would recommend others to put their trust in Jack for the following reasons 1. He is a Good listener and asks the right questions to tease out the injury at hand. 2. He is very knowledgable and inspires confidence that he will advise on the right treatment, which he demonstrates or got my son to familiarise himself with physio exercises you need to do. 3. He sends follow up emails outlining the treatment plan promptly and he is very personable, making time to ask my son about his soccer team and where he played and the team were doing which helped to set my son at ease. He gives realistic advice on how long to recover/heal and will tell you what you need to hear rather than what you like to hear about recovery time I liked that approach for my son so he didn’t rush his injury. 4. Finally, we did three physio sessions in total on both occasions and based on what needed to be achieved to heal and recover, it was what I expected maybe other physio might have asked us back for more sessions for no good reason but Jack was honest once you were healed he d tell you that’s it - good to go to ease back into soccer training and matches. So we would recommend him to family and friends, truly sorry he is leaving Lucan Physio area, have to find a new physio now, one can’t always be sure one can find another physio as good as Jack , it’s a pity to lose him. We wish Jack every success with his new Physio enterprise.

Fantastic experience: Over the past two years, I've struggled with both shoulder and knee injuries from Crossfit and running. While Jack's ability to quickly diagnose the root causes of my problems is impressive, it's his holistic approach to recovery that truly sets him apart. He doesn't just identify the issue, he explains why it's happening and provides practical solutions to get me back on track. Unlike other physios who might keep me sidelined, Jack's focus is always on getting me back training. He tailors his approach to my lifestyle and sets realistic expectations from the start. My knee injury had been a recurring problem for months. After just one session with Jack, he provided two simple exercises that helped me address the underlying issue. Despite some initial discomfort which he had warned and assured me about, i was able to get back training. Within a week, the pain was gone, and I was back to normal. I highly recommend Jack for his ability to accelerate recovery. My only regret is not seeking his help sooner. It would have saved me a lot of unnecessary frustration.
