Women’s Health Lead & Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist

Leah co-founded Run Serve Health Physiotherapy to create an innovative clinic that helps people get back to the things that are important to them. As the women’s health specialist lead and sports injury physiotherapist at Run Serve Health, Leah also has a background as an NHS clinical specialist, where she continues to work within Trauma and Orthopaedics.

She treats both men and women with musculoskeletal, running and sports-related injuries, with a particular interest in helping people bridge the gap between rehabilitation and returning to the activities they love.

A key part of Leah’s assessment and treatment is bridging the gap between rehabilitation and performance. For women, this means supporting the transition from pregnancy and labour through postpartum recovery and progressive rehabilitation, before building the strength, capacity and confidence required to return to running and higher-level sport. This may include addressing pelvic floor or abdominal symptoms, rebuilding strength and impact tolerance, progressing running load and preparing the body for the demands of training.

As a regular runner and former national-level competitive rower, Leah understands the demands of training and returning to sport from both a clinical and personal perspective. She combines this experience with an evidence-based approach to help patients move from rehabilitation to performance, whatever their goals.
