KIRA-LEIGH RULE, PHYSIOTHERAPIST & PILATES TRAINER

Growing up on the northern beaches of Australia, Kira-Leigh’s passion for Physiotherapy arose from being an elite gymnast for 12 years. Suffering an array of injuries in her gymnastics career fostered her immense appreciation for the value of physiotherapy in effective rehabilitation and improving quality of life.

​Kira-Leigh draws on her comprehensive understanding of the human body from completing a Bachelor of Physiotherapy, alongside her extensive experience as a qualified Pilates Mat and Reformer trainer (Cert IV) and Diploma in Clinical Pilates Rehabilitation. Her athletic background also provides an authentic insight into the impact of injury, rehabilitation, and pain management.

Her aim as a Physiotherapist is to implement a collaborative approach to reach the client’s goals - combining clinical education and individualized rehabilitation. Looking beyond the injury itself and remodeling the physical and emotional body, aiming for sustainable changes.

​Outside of the clinic, Kira-Leigh loves a wide range of physical activities including coastal walks with friends and running around Narrabeen Lake.

Her keen interests lie in sporting injuries, pediatric patients, and chronic pain.
