My name is Leigh Boyle and I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). For the past 10 years, I was the co-owner of a private physical therapy practice in Southern New Hampshire. I am currently living and working out of Austin, Texas and enjoying a much needed break from the snow and cold. Professionally, I’ve treated injuries ranging from mild ankle sprains to advanced surgical reconstructions and most everything in between. I am certified in the Graston Technique and Active Release Therapy (ART), both of which are soft tissue mobilization techniques. I am also certified in functional taping applications and functional strenghtening. I’ve coached triathlon, cycling, and running teams on injury prevention and helped them develop off-season programs to focus on core strength and self body maintenance.
