Kim Leith MCSP
I qualified from Coventry University in 2010 with a BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy. I am a Chartered Physiotherapist, a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. I am also goPhysio’s Clinical Lead. I treat a wide range of musculoskeletal problems, with particular interests in low back pain, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, pelvic girdle pain, Pilates-based rehabilitation and helping people move with more confidence.
I am a fully certified APPI Matwork Pilates instructor and have completed APPI Reformer Pilates Levels 1–3, as well as APPI Ante & Post Natal Pilates training. This means I can combine physiotherapy, Mat and Reformer Pilates, core stability and progressive exercise rehabilitation to help people recover, rebuild strength and feel more in control of their body.
My approach is thorough, calm and practical. I take time to understand the whole picture, not just the painful area, then prioritise what matters most so we can work through things step by step. Treatment may include hands-on physiotherapy, acupuncture, Pilates-based exercises, home exercises and clear advice.
At goPhysio, I help people with a wide range of MSK issues, from back and pelvic pain to movement confidence, stiffness, strength loss and recurring niggles that are stopping them doing the things they enjoy. I particularly like helping people understand what is going on, what they can do about it, and how to build a realistic plan that fits into everyday life.
Pilates is a big part of my clinical work. I enjoy helping people start Pilates safely, return to Pilates after injury, or use Pilates as part of their rehabilitation. This may include Clinical Pilates, Reformer Pilates, core stability work and progressive strengthening.
I also support pregnant and postnatal women with back, pelvic and sacroiliac joint pain, especially when symptoms are affecting everyday life, exercise, sleep, lifting, carrying or caring for children. As a mum of two young children, I understand that recovery has to work around real life and that it is not always possible to simply stop doing the things that aggravate symptoms.
Working as a team is central to my approach. I’ll help you understand the key priorities, set realistic goals and build consistency between sessions. Patients often tell me they feel listened to, reassured and relieved that there are positive steps they can take, even if they have been putting up with symptoms for a long time.
Outside of work, life is busy with two young children, and I love baking — there is never a bad time for brownies.
