Lianne PhD, MSc, BSc, is a clinical academic advanced practice spinal physiotherapist, currently working as a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Exeter as trial manager to support the MEMOIR Trial for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Lianne is an honorary Senior Research Fellow at Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) in the Centre for Pain IMPACT. She also maintains a clinical caseload as an Advanced Spinal Practitioner. She completed her PhD in 2021, exploring the treatment targets and outcomes of exercise for low back pain. She holds a post-doctoral Early Career Research Fellow of Orthopaedic Research UK, investigating how exercise creates change in outcomes of importance in low back pain. Her research interests focus on spinal pain and pathways to support improved diagnosis and management of spinal pain, particularly from an advanced physiotherapy perspective. She is an invited member of the International Working Group for Diagnostic Criteria and Perioperative Management for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy, the Research Officer for the Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner Network, and a general committee member of the Society of Back Pain Research. She has published and presented at national and international conferences regarding pathways for spinal conditions, advanced practice, triage and emergency care pathways, and the management of exercise for low back pain.
