Leo Chen
Leo integrates evidence-based practice that utilises the latest available research and collaborates with clients to achieve client-centred goals at every point of care. Leo understands how it feels when the body is not moving well and strongly focuses on identifying and treating the underlying cause of problems and promoting self-management strategies to maintain results, reduce recurrence and practice Barefoot’s philosophy to empower clients to confidently live the lives they choose.
Leo recognises that every person has a unique story and is keen to work with clients under a shared decision-making model to derive the best treatment strategies that work for you. He is passionate about all areas of physiotherapy, with a special interest in ankle, shoulder, back, headache, neck and jaw.
Having worked on an honours project for two years, he understands the bi-directional link between psychosocial factors on short/long-term pain and has also developed a thorough understanding of test statistics. Leo actively applies these principles into practice to provide clients with a holistic and evidence-informed assessment and treatment.
Outside of work, Leo can be found fetching and playing soccer with his dog Potato in all sorts of parks and out in nature. He also loves getting his family and friends to come together to play volleyball, table tennis and badminton! Leo also enjoys playing a variety of cooperative video and board games with his partner and friends!
