About Leah
Leah Franco is a registered physiotherapist who truly enjoys working with patients of all ages and abilities. Her drive to help others, coupled with her passion for sports and athletics has built the foundation of her career as a physiotherapist.
Leah has experience playing sports at leisure and highly competitive levels, including soccer, basketball, and volleyball. She continued to pursue volleyball as a member of the women’s varsity team at Queen’s University while completing her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. She then trained with the school’s Athletic Therapy department and became the women’s volleyball team’s student athletic trainer. Experiencing sport from both a personal and clinical perspective helped Leah understand how critical it is to prevent and properly manage injury.
Since obtaining her Master of Science in Physiotherapy from McMaster University in 2014, Leah has been treating patients with a wide range of injuries and conditions, of both acute and chronic nature. Her additional training in pelvic health, concussion management, and vestibular rehabilitation have provided her with the knowledge and skills to assess and treat pelvic girdle pain, post-concussion symptoms, headaches, dizziness, and vertigo, just to name a few! Her treatment plans incorporate hands-on and manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, taping, and acupuncture, with the goal of reducing pain and optimizing function. Leah finds that educating her patients is crucial in rehabilitation, including understanding the nature of your injury or pain, and ways to modify your lifestyle to accelerate recovery.
Leah believes that her patients’ needs and goals are equally important to her own knowledge and skills as a physiotherapist. Her mission is to build a treatment plan that reflects your unique lifestyle, and maximizes your recovery to return to your favourite sport, hobby, or work — whatever you love to do!
