I’ve seen Leon before for PT and I needed to return for some other issues and he’s always great. Super helpful, works with what’s possible, encouraging, and super personable. He’s also super clear about at home exercises. Highly recommend him!

More about Leon Zhao, PT, DPT
Leon received his Bachelors of Arts in Economics from the University of Rochester and his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Pittsburgh. He was initially on a pre-medical track and had a change of heart his junior year, after finding his calling in physical therapy while working as an intern at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in his hometown of White Plains, NY. Leon is also a TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) certified expert, which gives him insight into golf-related injuries and swing analysis.
Following his training at the University of Pittsburgh, Leon embarked on traveling assignments for the past 3 years, working in New York, Connecticut, and North Carolina, experiencing both outpatient and inpatient aspects of Physical Therapy. Having been born in China, raised in Canada, and educated in America, Leon is well-versed in diversity and welcomes it in his clinical practice. In his free time, Leon enjoys playing golf, soccer, and exercise. Being familiar with recurrent low back pain since high school, Leon is keen on prevention of low back injuries with all these activities. On the leisure end, Leon is fond of experiencing different foods, and attempting to recreate recipes.

Every visit, I am greeted by first name and feel as the staff and therapist (Leon & assistants) are very thorough and dedicated in helping their patient reach their therapy goal. I can definitely say I have improved and learned a lot from my therapist and enjoy coming to my visits at SPEAR. The whole staff are great:)!!
