flag New Zealand physiotherapist Lance Easton lost his license for misconduct involving inappropriate conduct with female patients.

flag New Zealand physiotherapist Lance Easton had his registration canceled after being found guilty of professional misconduct involving multiple female clients. flag The Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal ruled that Easton breached patient dignity and consent by removing his shirt during treatments, asking women to undress without explanation, and creating inappropriate, uncomfortable conditions. flag Incidents occurred in 2013 and 2018, including a session where a client felt pressured and violated during prolonged close contact. flag A second client reported similar misconduct on a public lawn. flag Though Easton has not practiced since 2019, the tribunal deemed cancellation appropriate due to the seriousness of the breaches and prior disciplinary history.
