We’re absolutely thrilled to officially welcome Jake Leonard as the newest member of the Elite Performance Therapy family!
Jake joins us as Owner and Sports & Remedial Therapist here in Hereford, and his arrival means even more availability, more expertise, and more slots for clients who want to move better, feel better, and get back to doing what they love.
Who is Jake Leonard?
Jake is a highly qualified Sports Therapist with a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Sciences and an MSc in Sports Therapy. He brings a fantastic mix of scientific knowledge and hands-on experience to the clinic.
With a background working in elite sports academies and non-league football, Jake has spent years managing both acute and long-term injuries in fast-paced, high-performance environments. He’s used to working closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver the best possible outcomes — and now he’s bringing that same professional, results-driven approach to everyday clients and active people right here in Herefordshire.
Jake’s philosophy is simple: treat the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. He’s passionate about helping clients overcome pain, improve movement, and regain confidence in their bodies — whether you’re returning to sport, getting back to work, or simply wanting to enjoy life without nagging aches.
What Jake Specialises In
Jake offers a full range of treatments and programmes, including:
- Musculoskeletal Injury Rehabilitation – Comprehensive assessment and treatment of sports injuries and everyday aches
- Biomechanical Assessment & Movement Analysis – Identifying movement patterns that cause problems and fixing them for good
- Sports Massage & Soft Tissue Therapy – Advanced techniques to release tension, improve mobility, and speed up recovery
- Functional Exercise & Return-to-Sport Programmes – Tailored strength and rehab plans that get you back stronger and safer than before
Whether you’re a golfer looking to swing without pain, a footballer recovering from an injury, or someone dealing with persistent back, shoulder, or knee issues, Jake has the skills and experience to help.
What Clients Are Already Saying About Jake
“When I first met Jake at the clinic, he was very professional… I would definitely recommend Jake! Not only is he professional and highly effective in what he does but he is understanding with a caring nature to support your recovery.” — Rhys Willcox

Why Jake Joined Elite Performance Therapy
Jake was drawn to our clinic because of our shared focus on high-quality, personalised care and our fantastic locations — The Rickyard in Shucknall and our brand-new clinic space at Herefordshire Golf Club. He’s excited to work alongside Isy and help even more local people move better and live pain-free.
Outside the clinic, Jake is just as active as you’d expect — he loves hiking beautiful UK trails, playing paddle ball, kickboxing, and hockey, and he’s always up for trying a new sport!
