Ms Erin Lahay

Erin Lahay is a physiotherapist at Better, Soho & Pure Sports Medicine, Moorgate. She has been working as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist for 18 years after having completed a Master of Physiotherapy from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. She has also completed the Manual Therapy Levels 1–4 in mobilization and manipulation with the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapy. Her clinical experience as well as her involvement in sports throughout her life has helped her understand the importance of addressing both the physical and mental challenges associated with injuries. Specializations: • Running-related lower limb injuries, including in-depth running assessments to improve performance and prevent injury • Back and neck pain • Post-surgical rehabilitation and joint injuries (especially knees, hips, shoulders, feet and ankles) • Complex injuries and persistent pain • Women's health • Reformer Pilates supporting:Pre- and post-natal care and pelvic floor strengthening Joint hypermobility Spinal conditions Inflammatory conditions including arthritis For the past 13 years Erin has worked in London in sports medicine where she has established long-standing relationships with some of the leading sports and orthopaedic consultants. She works within multidisciplinary teams to enable more personalized treatment and quicker recovery for patients. Approach: She uses a combination of exercise (including Reformer Pilates), manual therapy (joint mobilizations, manipulations and soft tissue techniques)and education to empower individuals to regain control of movement and achieve their goals. She enjoys treating all musculoskeletal conditions and especially loves problem-solving complex cases and treating persistent pain. She believes the best treatment plan relies on determining the underlying cause of an injury as well as an accurate diagnosis. A good exercise program is often the best form of rehabilitation and it is paramount in preventing injuries from recurring. In her free time Erin enjoys playing with her four-year-old daughter, running, travelling to places off the beaten track and playing piano in a funk band.
