Dr Tim Leith, Principal Chiropractor
Dr. Tim has spent over 20 years supporting athletes and active people with rehabilitation planning, movement coaching, and return to sport progression. His care considers the whole person, including physical capacity, nervous system responses, and day-to-day stressors, because injury rarely has a single cause and progress is not always straightforward.
“My approach looks at the whole person physiologically, neurologically, and emotionally. Injury doesn’t happen in isolation, and recovery is rarely linear. I take time to identify contributing factors and develop a plan that fits your life and goals. Nobody is a textbook, so generic rehabilitation plans don’t suit everyone. I draw on established, evidence- informed frameworks and tailor them to the individual, applying, reviewing, and adjusting along the way.”
Dr Tim’s care may include manual therapy, progressive loading, and movement retraining. When appropriate, he liaises with your coach, GP, sports physician, physiotherapist, or strength and conditioning specialist to support coordinated care.
Clinical Focus
Dr. Tim commonly works with runners, with crossover into HYROX, team sports, and cycling. He also sees people experiencing back pain, disc-related symptoms, headaches, neck pain, load management challenges, and rehabilitation progression needs.
His Philosophy
Performance for Life
Dr Tim’s approach isn’t only about sport. It’s about supporting movement and capacity that fits your day-to-day life, whether you’re training, working, parenting, or getting back to the activities you enjoy. Care is guided by your goals, your history, and what’s realistic to maintain over time.
Beyond the Clinic Walls
Outside of work, Dr. Tim is a husband and father of three and values time with his family above all else. A lifelong athlete, he enjoys chasing the next challenge, whether that’s surfing, racing bikes, or building his own capacity for whatever comes next.
