Therese Leigh is an accomplished physiotherapist with over 25+ years of clinical practice with a focus on athlete preparation and rehabilitation. She is involved locally with the Canada Sport Institute Pacific in developing better care for our community athletes at all levels of competition. Therese was Physical Therapy Lead with Canada Snowboard , Canada Ski Cross and Alpine Ski Canada from 2002-2024 and had the privilege of working with outstanding winter sport coaches and athletes during multiple Winter Olympic Games.

Therese is passionate about using evidence based practice to develop, implement and promote preventative physical injury screens, post surgical protocols and return to sport protocols. This knowledge as well as graduate diplomas in sports, manual therapy and needling, has led to a strong skill set in physical assessment, diagnosis and treatment of injury whether small or significant/post surgical. Patient centered care, that allows the patient to clearly see and participate in the path to recovery is an important standard of care that Therese embeds in her practice.

Therese loves kiteboarding, yoga, hiking and skiing/riding and has learned through her own injuries, as well as ongoing education, what works to ensure recovery and return to activity. Her treatment philosophy is straight forward:

“Combine manual, hands on treatment with education and active exercise and you will get results. The goal is to have the client not only feel better that day but to stay pain free and strong for the long term.”
