I am passionate in making a positive impact on people’s lives. After studying Physiotherapy in the UK, I then started my career in Hong Kong. Having spent years working in hospitals and private clinics, I have extensive experience across different specialties which led me to discover my interest in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. I have also completed a Masters in Clinical Physiotherapy at Curtin where I co-authored a research paper in chronic low back pain.
I like to problem-solve and tailor my treatment plans and goals to your specific needs. I love using hands-on techniques with clinical exercise as a functional approach to rehabilitation. In addition to my Masters qualification, I have also done specific training in Mulligan’s technique for neck and lower limb and McKenzie technique for back pain.
I am empathetic, client-focused and goal driven. I provide holistic treatment which is individualised and evidence based. Whether it is a painful condition, injury prevention or return to sports, I always listen and provide practical and realistic solutions. I believe empowering people with knowledge and the ability to manage their conditions is crucial to enhancing their physical and mental wellbeing.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends, exploring hiking trails, watching sunsets and cooking. I am also a travel addict who loves to carry her camera to explore beautiful places around the world.

Leah Kubale
I have over 15 years experience as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist, treating a whole range of musculoskeletal disorders using a combination of hands-on physiotherapy, dry needling and exercise rehabilitation.
I knew from a young age that I wanted to work in career that was hands-on and in health care. I initially qualified as a Registered Nurse and after working across various specialities, I eventually specialised in theatres, ending up in theatre management. Keen to return to clinical work and further expand my knowledge, I returned to university as a post-graduate and received a Master of Physiotherapy from Curtin University. I then worked in Physiotherapy private practice.
After the birth of my daughter, I realised the huge importance of Pelvic Health Physiotherapy and the shortage of services available, so I returned to university again to obtain a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Physiotherapy (Pelvic Health).
These days I split my time between being a mum, working as a Physio and nursing to keep me up to date with the current specialists, procedures and medications out there in the clinical setting.
I find Pelvic Health is a fascinating field that is a perfect amalgamation of my nursing and physiotherapy experience. I find working in Pelvic Health an incredibly rewarding career and I love listening to clients say that visiting a pelvic health physio has been life changing and they should have done it ages ago! Pelvic health involves multiple, interrelated body systems, and I really enjoy fitting all the puzzle pieces together to achieve the best optimal outcomes.

Emma Reid Physiotherapist
I possess extensive expertise in treating musculoskeletal conditions, catering to both private and athletic environments. My passion for learning has persisted since university, as evidenced by my accomplishments in courses such as Dry Needling, Strength and Conditioning, and G:LAD Training (Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis management). My next venture involves taking Clinical Pilates sessions in the Nedlands clinic, which I eagerly anticipate.
I have always been a curious individual, seeking to comprehend how things work. This trait has made me an ideal fit for my chosen profession of physiotherapy. Nothing brings me greater satisfaction than empowering individuals with knowledge about their body, along with the necessary tools to achieve their objectives. As a lifelong hockey player who has represented both WA and Australia in the Indoor game, I have an exceptional understanding of how physiotherapy can prevent, manage, and rehabilitate injuries, having sustained my fair share over the years.
When I am not playing hockey or at work, I enjoy unwinding by going to the beach, reading, indulging in Netflix binges (I welcome all recommendations), and spending time with my two feline companions.

Adam Lin Physiotherapist
I have been helping people recover from pain and maximise their performance for over 15 years. By using a proven system of treatment I am able to help you to become pain free.
My practice involves a range of hands on treatment techniques and I combine these with DMA Clinical Pilates to achieve the best movement of your body. I use dry needling extensively and have full faith in the results, especially when dealing with longstanding pain. I have recently come from working in an osteopathic clinic, and use elements of this highly specific, gentle manual philosophy. I see the important relationship between all body structures, and apply this in the way that I work.

Whether you strive to complete the Rotto Swim, run up Jacob’s ladder or simply walk comfortably along the river, I will work with you and guide you in meeting your expectations.

Jane Leslie Physiotherapist
I have over 15 years experience and an established skill base in Clinical Pilates and Yoga practices.
I started my career in hospital, military and overseas aid physiotherapy, and have since focused my development in movement-based and mind-body approaches in private practice Physiotherapy.
I enjoy working with a broad client base in these areas including rehabilitation, arthritis, osteoporosis, chronic pain, pre/post pregnancy, pelvic floor pain as well as sports people.
I studied lumbo-pelvic dysfunction and Clinical Pilates (BET) in the early 2000’s, then became interested in the principles and benefits of yoga during my 9 years in Hong Kong. I became a qualified yoga instructor there in 2008. Applying yoga knowledge and skills to my existing practice has been a thrill to witness the positive changes in both physical function and quality of life in my clients.
In 2011, advances in research, directed my study to DMA Clinical Pilates in Melbourne. Implementing these techniques, I saw rapid and measurable results. I’ve completed all 4 levels of DMA Clinical Pilates since relocating to Perth in 2012 and it forms the core of my pilates practice.
I enjoy focusing on this approach to Clinical Pilates in a progressive environment with like-minded practitioners at Wisdom Physiotherapy Nedlands.
I also work with the Arthritis and Osteoporosis Foundation (WA), and provide a unique Yoga for Arthritis program; an evidence-based program developed at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. Currently I’m the only instructor in Australia who teaches this course. In 2016 I started working with Yoga for Pain Care Australia, conducting an arthritis education module for yoga instructors.

Courtney Lethridge
My favourite part of being a physiotherapist is being able to help people live a better, healthier, pain-free life. I love working with a variety of patients to help achieve their individual goals.
I found my way to physiotherapy after an active adolescence of playing soccer, cross-country running, dancing and gymnastics landed me with many aches and sprains that sent me to the physio on a regular basis. I learned early the benefits of both manual therapy and exercise-rehabilitation in the recovery process and wanting to return to sport as soon as possible.
I have treated newborn infants right through to the elderly and across the entire journey from day one to full rehabilitation. My experience as physiotherapist in both private practice and acute hospital settings, has allowed me to spend much of my time assisting patients in their recovery from sporting injuries and orthopaedic surgery.
Having worked extensively with some of Perth’s best orthopaedic surgeons, I am extremely well versed in pre and post-operative rehabilitation, and love providing solutions that can improve your pain and function without the need for surgery.
Having worked with WAFL and amateur football clubs, I enjoy empowering both professional athletes and weekend warriors to take an active role in their rehabilitation.
I also have a special interest in the treatment of neck pain and cervicogenic headaches; having personally experienced this I understand how debilitating it can be and how much physiotherapy can improve your symptoms and long-term recovery. Pilates and regular strength training became my norm to manage these symptoms and I hope to help others with similar issues.
I thoroughly enjoy working with women and adolescents with a variety of conditions; and have a special interest in treating hypermobility syndromes that stems from my own history in dancing and gymnastics. I’m a strong believer that you can always do something; there is always an exercise or way you can move that can improve your pain and it’s my role to help you find it!
If I’m not at the clinic, you’ll probably find me at the dance studio training regularly for Latin and Ballroom dancing, down by the river for a run, or cuddling up with my dog Winston.
My areas of special clinical interest include:
- Neck pain & stiffness
- Cervicogenic headaches
- Jaw pain/stiffness (TMJ)
- Back pain
- Hypermobility syndromes
- Dry needling
- Pregnancy pain and pilates
- Sports and running injuries
- Pre and post-surgical rehabilitation
- Clinical Movement Therapy – private and small groups
Paediatric-Specific conditions: - Movement disorders (coordination problems, hypermobility) - Gait abnormalities (in toeing, out-toeing, knock knees, toe walking) - Orthopaedic conditions including growing pains, Osgood Schlatter, Severs disease - Torticollis (neck muscle shortening in babies) and Plagiocephaly (flattening of the head) - Club foot and flat feet - Brachial Plexus Injury
Pregnancy related conditions: - Breast feeding (mastitis, cracked nipples, blocked ducts) - Rectus abdominus diastasis - Pelvic girdle pain, wrist pain - Back pain - Returning to exercise, pregnancy & postnatal pilates

Jeremy Wisdom Physiotherapist
(Jeremy treats at Nedlands on Mon, Weds, Fri & Claremont on Tues)
For more than 15 years I’ve been treating people from all walks of life.
From elite athletes to new mothers to desk-bound workaholics. I’ve seen people searching for help to relieve their aches and pains, and frustrations with their inability to perform to expectations.
I’m passionate about providing a better way to service the community – this is why I started Wisdom Physiotherapy in Nedlands.
Over the years I’ve refined my Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates techniques. I grew up in Nedlands and completed two degrees from Curtin University and the University of Western Australia, I then gained experience working in Kalgoorlie, the Sunshine Coast, Melbourne and Perth.
I enjoy working with a diverse client base to improve function and reduce pain. I like to find out what is causing the pain and then treat it to address both short term and long term outcomes.
I have an open mind when it comes to my clients, everyone is different and requires a unique approach. I have a strong appetite for implementing evidence-based techniques such as the neuromuscular theory of DMA Clinical Pilates with functional rehabilitation and dry needling.
I understand the importance of achievable goals and a streamlined program, so I take my time to design and communicate your optimal journey to wellness.
I treat the body as a whole. I find clients have the most success with treatment when we work together to improve the whole body, which is why I love to use the movement of Clinical Pilates.
I’m particularly interested in improving posture and muscle control to relieve and prevent back pain. My areas of clinical interest include:
- Shoulder pain
- Chronic back pain
- Cervicogenic (tension) headaches
- Postural issues
- Jaw clenching (TMJ)
- Neck stiffness
- Pre & post surgery
- Vertigo
