Fiona Templeman | BSc, MSc
After graduating from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen I worked in the NHS gaining varied experience in all areas of physiotherapy including neurology, orthopaedics and respiratory care.

I treated sports injuries, rheumatological conditions and post-surgical cases, working alongside a large multidisciplinary team. My varied experience from the UK and abroad have made me a compassionate therapist skilled in differential diagnoses.

I aim to build a good repoir with my patients, working together to give them confidence to return to exercise and the activities they enjoy. I use a variety of evidence-based treatment techniques to do this including exercise-based rehabilitation, electrotherapy and manual therapy.
I have a specialised interest in running injuries. This is something I enjoy in my free time along with swimming and surfing. I also love travelling and experiencing different countries and cultures.

Bethany Eganda BSc, MCSP, HCPC
Bethany studied the BSc Physiotherapy course at Brunel University qualifying in 2021 and then went on to complete an MSc Veterinary Physiotherapy degree following.
Since graduating she has worked in private clinics across South-East London, specialising in MSK physiotherapy and also training in treating neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease and Stroke rehabilitation both within clinic and the community.
She has found much reward in helping individuals return to function and achieve their goals with these diagnoses. Bethany has worked treating semi-professional athletes from a variety of sporting backgrounds including football, boxing, and cricket, as well as professional athletes in the equestrian eventing industry due to her background in competitive riding.
She has also treated clients with injuries from the dance, theatrical and film industry. During her time in London Bethany has worked in the prestige David Lloyd gym groups and one of the leading private MSK and neuro physiotherapy clinics in South London, where she received specialist training in injury rehabilitation within the clinic’s top quality rehabilitation gym facilities.
Bethany completed a mentorship programme with the Pro Sport Academy to enhance her skills in combining the best manual therapy techniques with evidence-based rehabilitation exercises to achieve the best recovery pathway for patients. She is keen to move away from the traditional ‘stretch and strengthen’ guidelines that tend to be given to most patients but to look at rehabilitation from a holistic approach by applying the principle of desensitising tissues and then re-loading the tissues, as well as incorporating proprioceptive, balance and stability, mobility and impact training that can often be missing into exercise programmes alongside strength training.
Bethany has also completed a separate qualification in sports massage therapy as she has a strong belief that manual therapy with exercise rehabilitation should be combined for the best results. She also is fully trained in performing therapeutic ultrasound treatments for ligament and tendon injuries.
Bethany moved to Glasgow and joined the team in the summer of 2024 with a keen interest to continue using and developing her skills to help treat a range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. Bethany has worked closely with top private shoulder, knee, and ankle private consultants and surgeons across London, often receiving referrals for post-operative clients to perform their treatments. Therefore, Bethany has a special interest in shoulder, knee and ankle injuries.
She also has widely treated women during their pregnancy and post-partum journeys and can help with women’s health or pelvic health conditions.
