Leigh Negin

Leigh is excited to be joining the Cedar and Sage Physiotherapy Clinic team after managing the University of Victoria Physiotherapy Sports Injury Clinic for many years. She graduated from the University of Toronto and has worked in Toronto, South Africa, Vancouver, Whistler and Victoria. 

Throughout her career, Leigh has taken a wide variety of continuing education courses and since becoming a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT), she has been an instructor in the National Orthopaedic Division Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Program.

She completed Dr. LJ Lee’s ConnectTherapy™ Series in 2015 and assisted in the Series that year and continues to take further courses as this approach evolves. ConnectTherapy™ is a functional, hands on model that takes into consideration the whole person, not just the area that is painful or symptomatic. This holistic approach considers all regions of the body to find the true driving cause of an individual’s pain and dysfunction. It can be used with all clients from those with acute and chronic injuries, to those with complex multiple areas of symptoms or recurring muscle strains and ligament sprains. This approach to assessment and treatment has been a phenomenal framework to understand the root cause of a problem helping you reach your optimal physical goals.

Leigh’s knowledge and passion for teaching is evident in her approach to treatment as she helps you understand your problem or symptoms so that you feel empowered to help yourself.

When not in the clinic, Leigh enjoys ocean kayaking around our beautiful gulf islands, hiking, playing golf and tennis and travelling around Southern Africa, hiking in the desert south western states or lush New Zealand coastline.
