Leah Kelleher adds
to Westview Sports Medicine
DAYVILLE — Leah Kelleher PT, DPT, recently joined the Westview Sports Medicine staff. She is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and that is rooted in an early keenness towards medicine developed through family experiences. Through Leah’s education and experience she has accumulated a wide array of knowledge spanning from enabling pediatric populations to helping patients with neurological challenges. She said she wishes to help her patients live and move to their fullest potential: to aid their ability to live actively, and if needed, to equip individuals with assistive devices to reach their goals.
Raised in Methuen, Mass., formative experiences in Kelleher’s early life manifested inspiration and motivation for a career in medicine so she focused on that mission all the way through her college education and graduate work. She attended the University of Hartford; earning a bachelor’s degree in health sciences and doctorate of physical therapy. She worked in the acute care setting of a large hospital in Rhode Island.
Competitively riding horses since childhood, she was no stranger to overcoming obstacles. Just months before her wedding, her father suffered a massive stroke. His unwavering commitment to walk her down the aisle stood firm. His resolve amazes her, and his continued inner strength despite these challenges ignites her efforts as a Physical Therapist. “My father’s experience emboldens me to challenge my patients and empower them in recovery.”
She and her husband looked to establish their home in a quiet New England setting while maintaining access to pursue their respective professions so she sought opportunities for Physical Therapists in Windham County. She sought daycare options near their home and discovered Westview Child Care Center. Then she joined the team at Westview Sports Medicine, in May 2025.
Westview Health Care Center Administrator David T. Panteleakos promotes the facility’s credo of ‘Caring for Generations’ as a guiding concept for team members. “Leah joins our amazing team with an impressive amount of physical therapy knowledge and patient-focused experience.”
