Meet Leo 👋 the newest member of our Meridian physiotherapy staff!

Once a dedicated powerlifter, Leo's frequent recurrences of lower back and shoulder injuries led him to understand the importance of understanding the root cause of injuries for effective long term relief. 💪

In the past, he has worked extensively as a strength and conditioning coach for varsity athletes at the University of Western Ontario. In his current physio practice, he blends the precise, rehabilitative science of physiotherapy with the performance-based principles of strength training.

Whether it be through patient-specific exercise plan prescription, dry needling, manual therapy or shockwave therapy, Leo's goal is to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to not only recover but to prevent future injuries and perform at your best!

There’s more to ankle mobility than just “stretching it out.”

Limited dorsiflexion doesn’t just make your ankles stiff, it affects your whole body.

👉 Squats: Poor mobility = heels lifting, knees caving, unstable movement
👉 Running: Every stride depends on ankle dorsiflexion, stiffness changes your gait and slows you down
👉 Knees & hips: When ankles can’t move, the joints above take the hit

Skipping ankle mobility means:
⚠️ Higher risk of sprains & overuse injuries
⚠️ More compensation through knees, hips, or low back
⚠️ Performance plateaus from poor mechanics

Your ankles are the foundation of every step, jump, and lift. Treat them like it. 💪
