After injuring my knee at work, other 'specialists' had told me it was mearly a strain and not to worry about.
I had a couple of sessions with Leah who was convinced it was a cartilage tear and advised me on what to do next. An mri scan confirned her diagnosis, after others said it definitely wasn't, I am now awaiting surgery. Leah's knowledge along with her professional yet friendly approach has been much appreciated in what has been quite a stressful situation. Thanks very much.

Leah gave me excellent treatment my for my back. In a single visit she was able to identify, solve and offer ways to prevent the aliment repeating. Before I saw her I couldn't bend to put on my own socks or shoes and after that was a thing of the past. Not only was she incredibly proficient in her discipline but also relaxed, friendly and jovial. I cannot offer a higher recommendation. Craig Haufek

I arrived at Leah's clinic, from a recommendation from a fellow ultra runner. I was quite broken and couldn't run 4 miles without any pain. Leah had a professional but understanding approach to my injury. Having my injury identified with a very thorough examination, a programme of rehab was formed. Acupuncture, massage, personal exercise plan to strengthen weakness, whilst as a runner not being told to stop running was music to my ears !! A steady progression and increase in miles, led me to finally being discharged this week. Today I have run 18 miles totally pain free. So Leah a huge THANK YOU

Having seen many physios over the years with a painful lower back, Leah immediately spotted my problem which no one else had (one leg quite a bit shorter than the other) she organised proper ‘homework’ exercises, massage and inserts for my shoes. As long as I follow that advice I am pain free. Leah is friendly and professional and I shall miss my visits. Highly recommended.
