Clinical Lead & Director

Leanne has worked with Arsenal women’s reserve and first team footballers, students at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts and Tabard Rugby Club.  She has extensive experience in both the NHS (Kingston and Barnet) and in the private healthcare industry, including Spire Bushey, BMI Kings Oak and Cavell, Physio on the River in Barnes and The Physiotherapy Clinic in Welwyn Garden City.

By background Leanne is a semi – professional gymnast, so she understands what it means to be committed to sport and the impact that a sporting injury can have on your life. Currently she belongs to St Albans Shotokan Karate Association.

She is a highly skilled physiotherapist who has a Masters in Physiotherapy. Combined with her friendly approach she immediately puts you at ease with your complaint and swiftly provides effective solutions to resolve them.

Distinct Physiotherapy is now available at three locations; the award winning Verulam clinic in St Albans, the prestigious The Gym and Tonic Club, Radlett and the multitherapy space at Restore Health and Wellbeing. Leanne thoroughly enjoys the different dynamics of the three clinics and looks forward to providing you with an invaluable tailored physiotherapy experience.

“I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2003 from King’s College London and worked as a junior rotational physiotherapist at the QEII hospital before obtaining a senior position at Barnet hospital, now part of Royal Free London NHS Trust. I have worked in the NHS for a solid 20 years, principally in musculoskeletal outpatients and orthopaedics. I treat patients with acute and complex musculoskeletal injuries, sports injuries and post- operative elective and trauma orthopaedic surgeries of the upper and lower limb. I also have extensive experience in treating complex hand injuries, including those that require splinting. For the last two years, I have been working as an advanced practice physiotherapist in a shoulder and elbow clinic and in a spinal orthopaedic clinic, working alongside a team of top orthopaedic surgeons. Additionally, I have also worked as a first contact practitioner across three GP surgeries in North London assessing and managing patients with complex musculoskeletal conditions. I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and the Advanced Practice Physiotherapy Network. I completed a Masters in Advanced Clinical Practice at London South Bank University in 2020 and am passionate about holistic patient care. I love exercise and empowering patients to better understand their condition and how to reach their goals. I have worked closely with Leanne in the past and know that we share this ethos. I am very excited to join her at Distinct Physiotherapy. “ 

Lynsey will be working every Tuesday and Thursday. She will be accepting new patients but will also be on hand to treat any of my established patients that might need her assistance.
