Practitioner
Kings Hill Osteopath, Leanda Clarke decided to train as an osteopath as she knew her time as a jockey was limited. She has been fortunate enough to call her work in the horse racing industry her passion for 15 years and had a successful career as an amateur jockey travelling all around the country. She was lucky enough to have 55 winners during her career and had some great rides on professional courses, a few favourites being Cheltenham, Aintree, Kempton and Exeter. The highlight of her career was riding in the fox hunters race at the Cheltenham Festival for trainer Rebecca Curtis and the prestigious owner Mr JP McManus. Luckily, following her retirement as a jockey she found a replacement career that she could immerse herself in, with equal amounts of enjoyment and commitment. Leanda has enjoyed helping patients benefit from sports massage alongside osteopathy enabling her to provide patients with good quality multi-disciplinary care.

Leanda graduated from the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in Maidstone with an M.Ost Hons and had the privilege of working with children, babies and maternity patients. Her patients range from newborn babies and their mothers through to older generation patients, incorporating structural skills and functional techniques such as cranial and myofascial treatment.
Leanda’s grandmother was an Osteopath for more than thirty years as well as the main physio for the Kenyan men’s football team, observing her perform her treatments and provide the comfort she created in people’s lives and experiencing the relief from treatment herself, Leanda was inspired to help others in a similar fashion. “What I love most about the profession is the vast variety of techniques we have at our disposal to accommodate the various morphologies, ages and different complaints of patients. We have a huge tool box to work with when it comes to resolving a problem, whether its a baby suffering from colic or reflux, a sports person with an injury or general aches and pains from daily living, we are here to help. I will always take the time to listen to my patients and work alongside them and their body to find the best solution to resolve the problem”.
“I love treating babies, especially as I have a daughter of my own born in May 2021, she is my absolute world and anything I can do to make her feel more comfortable is such a relief. I can appreciate all the trials and tribulations mothers go through just to keep their little one’s safe, so helping a baby feel more comfortable and thereby helping the mother feel at ease fills me with joy. Additionally, I really enjoy treating sportspeople, particularly horse riders as I feel I can relate to any concerns they might have about returning to their sport as quickly as possible. Enabling individuals to return to their peak fitness and performing at their best again is very rewarding and enjoyable”.
Leanda is friendly and approachable. She goes above and beyond to make sure her patients feel comfortable and involved during the examination and treatment process. She is a good listener and will always consider her patients’ expectations and concerns, providing an individual approach towards their management and journey back to optimal health.
Outside of work, Leanda likes to spend time with her family and walk her two dogs Ruby (Jack Russell terrier) and Oscar (Labrador) in the countryside. She enjoys riding race horses out at a local racing yard near where she lives and plays netball once a week. She also likes eating out, reading crime novels and watching films (especially Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and all Disney!).
- Ruben Cooper04/03/2023Have been coming here seeing Leanda for a month or so now. When I first started had a lot of issues affecting me daily and after the first session I felt amazing, and every week from there I have been able to live the quality of life again and not had any aches or pains for a long time. It really is amazing what the practitioners do here! Thanks leanda! Recommend to everyone.read moreread lessBryony Clark13/11/2022I first went to Future Proof Care 2 months ago, not expecting much and a little bit apprehensive as I’ve suffered with back issues for over 10 years and have been brushed over by my doctors. I went to see Leanda who was so friendly and sat and listened to my issues and worked through them one by one. Fast forward to today and I’ve been signed off weekly visits feeling so much better! Able to get back into the gym and riding as usual with no pain! Cannot recommend enough as it’s been such a change that I never would have anticipated!read moreread less
- Sophie McDougall13/05/2022I’ve been seeing Leanna for a couple months now and I can’t begin to describe how fantastic she is. Every time I visit she takes the time to listen to how I’m feeling and tailors each session to help me. Excellent treatment with thorough explanations of what she will be doing and why with hints and tips of things I can do. Friendly, personable and a truly great experience. Can’t recommend her enoughread moreread lessShirley Paton29/03/2022Having suffered with back pain that had got progressively worse whilst working from home during Lockdown, I decided that I needed to seek treatment and did a Google search for a local Osteopath. I am so pleased that I discovered Future Proof Care and Leanda. I was a bit nervous at my first appointment as I had hardly ventured out and mixed with other people for two years due to Covid but Leanda was very professional and friendly as are all the staff at Future Proof Care. Her initial assessment was very thorough and she took time to listen and explain her diagnosis and treatment. After a few treatments with Leanda my back pain has vastly improved as have some other health issues that I did not realise could be connected. Leanda has advised me of some changes I can make at home and given me some exercises to do at home to maintain her good work. I highly recommend Leanda, she takes an interest in you personally, she is kind, professional, explains everything and I felt safe and relaxed during her treatments.read moreread less

- Andrew Gregory28/02/2021After 25 years of working long hours in front of a computer (with bad posture) my back had pretty much seized up. My friend recommended FPC and I went along to see Leanda. From assessment to diagnosis to ongoing treatment the whole experience has been excellent. Leanda has worked wonders on my back. Everyday tasks are now so much easier, the pain has stopped and the ongoing treatment and exercises are really helping with my running and golf swing. Leanda explains things very well and I now know a whole lot more about the body and how it works. Highly recommended.read moreread less
- Alan Matthews30/01/2021I have been going to Future Proof Care now for a month and it has genuinely been the best decision I have made. I pulled my back badly over the Christmas period and could barely walk. I wasn’t a client but called the practice and they managed to get me in on the 30th December as they could tell I was in significant discomfort.Leanda has been my practitioner since then and she has transformed my back in just 5 sessions. Leanda is very professional, explaining why she uses the techniques she does and how they would benefit me. Leanda is very dedicated to her work and is the best practitioner I have had over the years.If you are looking for a friendly, professional and customer focused practice then trust me this place is the place.read moreread lessHelen Stokes30/01/2021I seeked advice from Future Proof Care after being recommend by a friend. I had fallen and hurt my knee... I was very happy with all the Covid measures implemented in the practice and under these conditions, staff made me feel safe. Leanda was amazing and I was very confident she listened to me and I was impressed with her skill set. The exercises set helped me to strengthen my knee in-between sessions and each time I visited the practice, felt much better afterwards. I would highly recommend and would definitely use again in the future.read moreread lessMelissa McInnes30/12/2020Leanda is a fantastic practitioner, listening carefully to my concerns and then putting a treatment plan in place always explaining what she is doing and the anatomy and physiology behind the treatment. I love the varied treatments she uses and I can honestly say that I finally feel I may soon be pain free and be able to avoid further injuries. Thank you!read moreread less
