Meet the Business Owner: Leanne B.
Leanne L. Burns, PT, MPT, CEAS has 30 years experience in physical therapy. She received her undergraduate degree in Biomechanics/Movement Science from Western Washington University where she was active in gait and sports analysis research. She then received her commission in the US Army to attend the US Army Baylor Physical Therapy Program where she graduated with a Master of Physical Therapy degree in 1986.
After 4 years treating acute orthopedic injuries and stress fractures in the military (US Army), Leanne began working in the civilian sphere in outpatient orthopedics. She quickly saw a need for biomechanics training to recover from injuries and to prevent further injuries. Leanne regularly teaches a behavioral-based Back School, Neck-Arm School, and "Bellies, Bottoms, and Backs" (pregnancy back school). In the community, she has been a guest speaker for ergonomics, workplace safety, and for osteoporosis education.
