Leah Hanson
Physiotherapist and Pilates Instructor
Biography
Leah started her journey in sports rehabilitation before moving into physiotherapy, turning a passion for movement and helping people into a full-time career. After achieving a First Class degree in Sports Rehabilitation, she went on to complete her Master’s in Physiotherapy, gaining experience across everything from hospital wards to specialist clinics and learning how to function on very little sleep along the way.
Now working as an MSK Physiotherapist in private practice, Leah treats a wide mix of conditions, from gym injuries and niggling aches to post-operative rehab and long-standing pain that just won’t shift. She is trained in acupuncture and shockwave therapy, but she is not about quick fixes. Her approach combines hands-on treatment with clear, realistic rehab plans and explanations that actually make sense, without the usual physio jargon.
Alongside this, Leah also works in palliative care, supporting patients with complex conditions to stay as comfortable, mobile, and independent as possible. This has shaped her calm and empathetic approach, as well as her ability to really listen, which her patients value hugely.
Having worked across paediatrics, stroke rehab, hand therapy, and even pitch-side rugby, Leah brings a broad and adaptable approach to her sessions. Whether the goal is getting back to sport, feeling stronger, or simply moving without constantly thinking about pain, she keeps things practical, personalised, and focused on what matters most to each individual.
