Special Interest – Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) management

Leah graduated in 2015 from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. From a young age Leah has been interested in science, anatomy and human movement.  This led her to study osteopathy, beginning her lifelong passion for helping people live injury free lives. After graduating Leah travelled around the East Coast of Australia working as an osteopath in some interesting fields – from cane farmers and crocodile handlers, to students and office workers, and everyone in-between.

Leah carries out a biotechnical assessment on every patient to ensure that she has an accurate and appropriate diagnosis. She has a structural approach to treatment and specialises in high-velocity low amplitude manipulations (HVLA), Muscle Energy Techniques (MET), as well as soft tissue and myofascial release work to ensure that she gets the best outcomes for all of her patients. Leah has worked extensively with patients with ADHD and ASD and understands the different needs when it comes to treatment and consent.

When Leah is not at work she enjoys watching sport and is a passionate Hawthorn Hawks fan in the Australian Football League. She is also a house plant enthusiast and works hard at keeping all the clinic plants thriving, as well as being a passionate traveller and reader.

She has completed further training in medical acupuncture and office and vehicle ergonomic setup. Leah is a valuable member of our team at Bearsden Osteopaths and works tirelessly to get her patients out of pain and able to achieve their goals.
