PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT
Lindsay approaches rehabilitation with a deeply compassionate perspective grounded in years of hands-on clinical experience, believing that personalized, one-on-one treatment combined with collaborative care creates the foundation for meaningful recovery. Her dual background in massage therapy and physical therapy assistance—combined with her expertise in instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization—allows her to guide patients through comprehensive healing that prioritizes both functional restoration and genuine confidence in their bodies.
With a clinical focus in orthopedic rehabilitation and post-operative care, Lindsay works with a wide range of patients across the recovery spectrum, bringing particular expertise to complex procedures including total knee and hip replacements, rotator cuff repairs, and ACL injuries. She also supports patients managing balance and gait issues, helping them improve overall strength and mobility through tailored therapeutic exercises and skilled manual techniques. Her Certified Graston Technique Practitioner credential reflects her commitment to advanced instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization integrated with collaborative patient care—she understands that effective recovery requires both expert technique and genuine partnership between clinician, patient, and Physical Therapist.
Lindsay holds a certification as a Licensed Massage Therapist from Cortiva Institute and an Associate degree as a Physical Therapy Assistant from Pima Medical Institute. Her professional certifications as a Certified Graston Technique Practitioner and licensed Physical Therapy Assistant in Washington State demonstrate her dedication to evidence-based, integrated care. Her background in health communication and years of therapeutic practice have shaped an authentic understanding of what it takes to help people feel heard, supported, and empowered. This lived experience—combined with her collaborative approach working closely alongside the Physical Therapist on each case—allows her to ensure every patient receives cohesive, compassionate care tailored to their unique needs.
A Kitsap County native with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest, Lindsay values the region’s wild, quiet spaces and active outdoor lifestyle. Outside the clinic, you’ll find her exploring the forests and waters she loves—foraging for seasonal mushrooms with genuine attention and care, fishing local waters, or simply wandering with her family through the natural world. The Pacific Northwest has a way of always offering something new, and Lindsay is happiest when she’s out there looking for it.
