Sara Leach

PT, DPT, NMSK-DN
Physical Therapist

I grew up in West Orange, went to Rutgers University for my undergraduate studies and later went to Seton Hall University for graduate school. I first worked at an inpatient acute physical therapy facility, but realized that outpatient orthopedic physical therapy is a much better fit for me.

I enjoy helping patients with difficulty with proper muscle activation and core muscle recruitment and I specialize in dry needling. I enjoy working at Carroll Physical Therapy because I love having more quality time to spend with my patients.

When I’m not working. I enjoy spending time with my husband, family and friends as well as taking walks with my dog.

I have been to a handful of local PT clinics over the last 15 years for various reasons. My current PT needs stem from rotator cuff surgery to fix ongoing shoulder calcifications/painful tendinitis. I would give 10 stars if that was an option. Carroll is simply the best PT place around in all aspects. I will never go anywhere else for myself or my kids (if needed) for as long as I live in NJ. I see Mary and Sara specifically however every therapist is absolutely awesome along with the front desk staff. Special shoutout to Stacy on all things insurance related.

I needed physical therapy for my foot this past winter and chose Carroll Physical Therapy. I was assigned to Sara Leach who is amazing. Not only did she genuinely care about my situation but she was able to help me get relief from pain. This past spring following a knee replacement I used Sara’s skills again! This was my second knee replacement and it went so much better than the first one. She even helped me with my other knee! I highly recommend Carroll Physical Therapy!!

Three years ago I received physical therapy at another facility for my neck arthritis and it was not helpful, so when I made an appointment at Carroll with Sara Leach I was not optimistic. But after six weeks with Sara I was amazed. Not only was my neck much better, but my back and knee pain were gone! Sara knows what questions to ask and how to get the best results. I highly recommend Carroll Physical Therapy and especially Sara Leach.
