Laura Franklin has been a Physiotherapist for 15 years and has experience of professional football, semi-professional rugby union, the NHS and private practice. For the last 10 years, Laura has combined Physiotherapy with Pilates having completed mat, reformer and comprehensive equipment training. Laura's main area of interest is persistent pain and complex musculoskeletal injuries. Helping those that have been living with symptoms for a long period, who have often tried other approaches with little success or short-lasting effects.
Laura has engaged with continuous professional development throughout her career, her latest qualification in musculoskeletal rehabilitation with one of the UK's most respected Sports & Private Practice Physiotherapists.

Instructor - Laura Franklin

Laura's approach is:

  • Provide a world class assessment.
  • Listening to a client's story, understanding what is causing symptoms and combining this with a whole body assessment.
  • Pinpointing the cause of the problem, not treating the symptoms.
  • Explain what is causing symptoms in a way that is simple to understand.
  • Where appropriate, provide hands on techniques that give quick results.
  • Combine specific rehabilitation with Pilates to help you get back to doing the things you want to do.
  • Build strength & resilience to stop symptoms coming back.

Here at LPS we have the privilege of working alongside Laura Franklin Rehab which is based in Guiseley. For all clients who require a Physiotherapy diagnostic assessment, you can book an assessment with one of their highly trained practitioners.

Once you have had your assessment your diagnosis and rehabilitation exercise plan will be forwarded on to one of our instructors. This enables us to implement the correct rehabilitation exercises to support your recovery and ensure the problem does not return.
