Wexford Massage Therapy, Leanne Harpur

Leanne Harpur

BSc Sports Medicine
Dip Massage Therapy

Hello, welcome to Wexford Massage Therapy, I'm Leanne Harpur. I opened WMT in 2015. After a long career of working for other people I decided it was time to open my own massage therapy practice. This has been a labor of love for me, as I really do love my job! When a client walks out of the treatment room saying how much better they feel, or how much better they can move, it's a great feeling for me!

My Story

I've known since I was 13, and first sprained my ankle playing baseball, that I wanted to be a sports physio. Then when I started rowing at 15, I added massage therapist to my career path. A rowing scholarship led me to study Sports Medicine at Mercyhurst University, Erie, PA, USA where I got my degree (BSc Sports Medicine) in 1994. I completed a Massage Therapy Diploma at the Austin School of Massage Therapy (Austin, TX, USA, 2000). I have worked in several therapeutic settings including professional ice hockey, collegiate, chiropractic clinic, physiotherapy clinics and spas before deciding to venture out on my own as a massage therapist.

After a car accident in 2000 I became a true advocate for massage as a medical treatment. After the accident I had neck and lower back pain which resolved within a few weeks with regular physio treatments, but I was left with a burning sensation down the back of my right arm that persisted for months. I had x-rays, nerve conduction tests, chiropractic and physio treatments, but none of it relieved the pain. Finally I went to a massage therapist colleague and within 3 massage sessions the burning pain was gone!

Massage can't fix all pain but is very effective in treating muscle related pain patterns.
