Massage Therapist Leah Dwyer is one of the most dedicated healthcare professionals I've met. I first interacted with her through the various Pain Science groups on Facebook, and was lucky enough to hear her story as both a person living with persisting pain and a healthcare provider.

Leah was diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia, and living well with chronic pain is an ongoing challenge. She uses her own experience with pain management in her work with clients, providing evidence-based manual therapy with updated narratives.

In recent times, Leah has worked with Painaustralia, discussing her experiences with chronic neck pain. In a variety of television, newspaper and radio interviews, Leah has shared her experiences with Chronic Pain and Codeine, and how an accident 10 years ago led her to have a keen interest in massage and pain management. She has appeared on ABC News, Channel 9 and 10 news, and House of Wellness sharing her story.

Sydneysiders, you can catch Leah at Ryde Natural Health Clinic.
