March 19, 2025From Mat Leave to CEO: How This Mom Built a Thriving Clinic with Lindsey Walker
In this episode of The Clinic Boss Show, Manju sits down with Lindsey Walker, clinic owner and mom of two, to talk about the real struggles of juggling motherhood and business. Lindsey shares how she went from "never wanting to own a business" to running a thriving physiotherapy clinic—while raising two young kids. She breaks down the mindset shifts, systems, and key hires that helped her scale without burning out.
Lindsey is a physiotherapist and owner of Fulcrum Physiotherapy in Calgary, Alberta. She never planned to be a business owner, but after feeling stuck in traditional practice, she took the leap and opened her clinic in 2022 (during COVID). During her second mat leave, she hit a major fork in the road—either scale or shut it all down. She joined Clinic Accelerator, doubled her revenue in a year, expanded to a second room, and built a powerhouse team of three PTs—all while juggling life as a mom of two.

1. Leaving the 9-5 & Taking the Leap
Why She Walked Away from a Steady Paycheck—and If She Regrets It
Leaving Private Practice: The Best or Worst Decision?
From Burnout to Business Owner: The Moment Everything Changed
