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.
