She attended Skodsborg School of Physical Therapy, Skodsborg Denmark, and received her Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy. After moving to the US in 1989, she became dual licensed as a physical therapist in the US and Europe.

She is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association - Section on Women's Health.

The attraction towards treatment of women was kindled, while treating obstetric patients during a clinical affiliation, and strongly supported by faculty and medial doctors. This experience generated an interest in the treatment of pelvic floor, bowel, bladder, and pelvic pain disorders. The treatment methodology she employs is broad-based with integration of biomechanical, orthopedic, musculoskeletal, visceral mobilization principles and neuromuscular reeducation. Therapy interventions are patient participation focused with appreciation of the individuals underlying bio-psychosocial position. Lone established the Pelvic Rehabilitation Program in two physical therapy owned private practices in Georgia and has lectured at Georgia State University, School of physical therapy in Pelvic Rehabilitation. She has also served as a clinical instructor for Emory University students, University of St. Augustine and Georgia State.
