Our Rehab Team

Adam Gibbins

Owner and Hydrotherapist (NARCH)

RCH

I am passionate about the health and well-being of the dogs in our care. I am a firm believer that we should be caring for dogs and advising owners in equal measure about how we can collectively improve the day to day life of all the dogs that we treat.

Over 10 years ago I was lucky enough to have a career change which allowed me to train as a canine hydrotherapist and then work full time within the hydrotherapy world as a qualified NARCH Registered Canine Hydrotherapist. Since 2017 I have held the role of Chairperson for National Association of Canine Hydrotherapists, who are the largest register of hydrotherapists with the highest ongoing standards within the industry.

Working as a hydrotherapist and business owner allows me to have a thorough understanding of all elements that we need to bring together. My team consists of hydrotherapists and physiotherapists, with a pool and underwater treadmill at the centre. We additionally include electrotherapy in our offering which can treat a wide range of canine conditions: OA, cruciate damage, hip dysplasia and spinal cases making up the majority of our work.

Hydrotherapy is an ever improving and changing industry which is great news for our patients. The developments in knowledge/learning directly stream down into how we treat our patients, and working so closely with the veterinary world enables the team to continually learn and develop their skills and knowledge base.

Chloe Jones

Hydrotherapist (NARCH)

Growing up in a miniature schnauzer household, Chloe has had an affinity towards working with animals from a young age. During her Animal Science BSC studies, one of her family dogs was diagnosed with a spinal condition requiring post-operative hydrotherapy treatment. After attending their hydrotherapy sessions during the holidays, Chloe decided to pursue a rewarding career in small animal hydrotherapy.

Chloe holds qualifications in the Level 3 certificate in hydrotherapy for small animals, Level 4 applied water treadmill techniques for canine hydrotherapy, and canine aquatic massage. She is currently working towards a degree in veterinary physiotherapy.

Hannah Towers

My love for animals, especially dogs, began at an early age. Growing up surrounded by a variety of breeds through my mum’s dog boarding business, I developed a deep passion for animal care and welfare.

This inspired me to study Veterinary Nursing at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC), where I discovered veterinary physiotherapy and knew I had found the career I wanted to pursue.

I went on to complete a master's degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy at Writtle University College and further expanded my knowledge by gaining Level 4 qualifications in Canine Hydrotherapy, an area of rehabilitation that I am particularly passionate about.

Since working in the industry, my love for this role has continued to grow, and I feel incredibly fortunate to work in a profession that allows me to make a positive difference to the lives of dogs and their owners every day. Since joining Dogtown, I have loved being part of an experienced, supportive, and collaborative team that is dedicated to providing loving care.

There is nothing more rewarding than supporting dogs through their recovery, helping them regain confidence, strength, and mobility, and enabling them to live happy and healthy lives.

Klaudia Jasmiewicz

My love for animals started long before my career in veterinary physiotherapy. Growing up in rural Poland, I was always surrounded by animals, and having dogs of many different breeds, from little crossbreeds to Rottweilers, played a huge part in shaping my passion for canine care.

I turned that lifelong passion into a career, graduating with a Master’s degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy from Anglia Ruskin University, Writtle, in 2024. I have since furthered my professional development with additional qualifications in canine hydrotherapy and a certificate in kinesiology.

What I love most about my work is being able to make a positive difference to a dog’s life. Whether supporting recovery, improving mobility, or helping maintain overall wellbeing, my goal is always to provide compassionate, individualised care to help every dog live a happier, healthier, and more comfortable life.

Francesca Campani

Francesca's passion for veterinary physiotherapy began when her own dog was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at a young age. At the time, this service was not available in Italy, inspiring her to move to the UK to pursue the training needed to help animals like her own. This experience shaped her career and continues to remind her how much a positive rehabilitation journey can mean to both a dog and their family.

She holds a Foundation Degree in Equine Physical Therapies and Rehabilitation, a BSc (Hons) in Equine Science, and an MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy. Although she also works with sport horses, her greatest fulfilment comes from helping dogs recover from orthopaedic and neurological conditions and surgery, supporting them in regaining their comfort, confidence and quality of life. She also enjoys working with active and sporting dogs, helping each patient return to doing what they love after injury.

Mia Shingler

Mia’s passion for veterinary physiotherapy began at a young age, growing up surrounded by animals and competing in sport. Having experienced several injuries herself, Mia developed a firsthand understanding of the importance of physiotherapy in recovery. This sparked her interest in veterinary physiotherapy, leading her to complete her Masters degree at ARU Writtle university.

Keen to further develop her skills and knowledge, Mia went on to achieve her level 3 hydrotherapy qualification, alongside a level 4 qualification in advanced underwater treadmill techniques.

What Mia loves most about her job is seeing the progress patients make throughout their rehabilitative journey, particularly dogs recovering from neurological and orthopaedic conditions. Watching their strength, mobility and confidence improve over time is incredibly rewarding.
