Leanne Power

Liam Clancy

My name is Leanne Power and I am the physiotherapist and owner of Empowerment Physiotherapy. I am passionate about helping people with their injuries and concerns, and a firm believer in educating my clients so that they become empowered to handle their injury more efficiently. I also believe in making physio a more affordable service for everyone.

I have been a qualified physiotherapist since 2013. Prior to this, I completed my BSc in Health Science and Physiology at Sligo Institute of Technology in 2010, before furthering my studies at Coventry University in the UK,  where I obtained my BSc with Honours in Physiotherapy.

I started my first physio post at Hereford County Hospital, UK, where I spent two years gaining experience in musculoskeletal (MSK) physio, neurological rehabilitation, acute medical and community sectors. After gaining a keen interest in musculoskeletal physio, I travelled to New Zealand to further my career. There, I gained exceptional experience in private practice and hospitals. I progressed my way from lead physio in elderly care and junior MSK physio to a senior MSK physio, Pilates instructor and Strength and Conditioning Coach within four years. I have profound knowledge and experience with chronic pain clients, acute and chronic injuries, orthopedic clients and young athletes. I am also passionate about running injuries, and have completed a comprehensive course in Running Repairs by Tom Goom, the brains behind ‘RunningPhysio’.

Outside of work, I am a very keen runner, hiker and weightlifter - I enjoy staying active wherever possible and spending time with friends and family, all of which contribute to my passion to help others achieve their desired goals.

My name is Liam Clancy. I am a Sports Rehabilitation and Athletic Therapist at Empowerment Physiotherapy. I qualified as an Athletic Therapist in 2025 from SETU Carlow and completed my final placement under the guidance and supervision of Leanne. I am delighted to be treating people from all walks of life and improve how people feel and move in their own bodies. I share the values of empowerment physiotherapy in that education, and movement, is key for people with acute or chronic injuries. I am delighted to work with my clients to create a rehabilitation plan to attain both short- and long-term goals together.

Before beginning with Empowerment physiotherapy, I experienced life within professional sports as an Athletic Therapy assistant with the Oakland Athletics baseball organisation in Phoenix, Arizona. My experience within both settings gives me a wide perspective on injury prevention and treatment, not just in the sporting field, but also in everyday life. I strive to make rehabilitation a collaborative and empowering experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

I believe that every individual deserves a tailored approach, recognising the unique circumstances and goals they bring to their rehabilitation journey. My treatment strategies are grounded in empathy and collaboration, striving to empower clients through education, hands-on care, and progressive movement strategies. Whether working with high performing athletes or those seeking to restore daily function, my aim is to support lasting change and inspire confidence in each person's ability to move well and live fully.

Aside from being an athletic therapist, I also work at badger and dodo which is a local boutique coffee roaster. I love staying active by playing hurling with Fermoy GAA and catching up with friends on the weekends. My long term goal is to apply for my masters in physiotherapy where I can continue to help more people in a wider array of settings.
