Evidence-based physiotherapy, strength and movement care for sports injuries, everyday pain, and performance goals.
Activities can place high demands on the body, which is why our assessments go beyond symptoms.
We assess how your joints move and perform under load together, not just focussing on where the pain is.
If we can support runners through high-impact, repetitive training, the same approach works
extremely well for any other joint and everyday injuries – benefiting runners and non-runners alike.

I’m Will, a Chartered Physiotherapist and the founder of Be Proactive Physiotherapy, based in Rothwell, providing physiotherapy services across Leeds, Wakefield, and West Yorkshire as a whole. I specialise in running physiotherapy, sports injuries, back pain, and musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
Treatment combines hands-on physiotherapy, evidence-based rehabilitation, and tailored exercise programmes designed to support long-term recovery, resilience, and confident movement.
Every appointment starts with a detailed assessment to understand not just where you’re feeling pain, but why it’s happening. This includes looking at how your whole body moves and responds to load — whether you’re running, training, or managing everyday activity.
Treatment is individualised and evidence-based, combining hands-on physiotherapy with targeted exercise and movement strategies. The focus is on addressing the root cause, improving capacity, and supporting recovery — not just short-term relief.
The final step is about progression. By building strength, movement control, and confidence, the aim is to reduce the risk of recurring issues and help you return to running, sport, or daily life feeling stronger and more resilient.

Why keep guessing what’s wrong, resting for weeks, or hopping between stretches and YouTube advice – only for the pain to come back as soon as you run again?
Most runners I see have already wasted months doing exactly that.
With an indepth assessment, you get clarity straight away. No guesswork. No generic advice. No wasted training.
Instead, you get:
A clear understanding of what’s actually causing the issue
A plan built around your training, not generic advice
A faster, safer route back to consistent, confident movement
Think of it like a shortcut – helping you avoid the stop-start cycle, missed events, and frustration most people experience.
If you want to get back to running comfortably, build strength without constant setbacks, and stop second-guessing every niggle – this is the first step.

Frequently Asked Questions
