PHYSICAL THERAPY

WITH A NEUROLOGICAL BASIS

DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING?

At Yellow Brick Physical Therapy, we help active people stay fit, healthy, and mobile while avoiding medications, injections, and surgery. We help people who have tried "everything," are tired of risky or short-term quick fixes, and want a thorough, holistic, long-term solution!

​

The human body- YOUR body- is such a fascinating system of systems! It is also amazingly capable of healing itself. IF we know what to do to help it. All we have to do is allow it to do what it does naturally. And then follow a clear path to health. This may sound simple, and yet it takes great courage to look at the reality of a difficult situation and to decide to do something about it for the better. While it may sound stressful to be at the start of a process, we believe it is always best to start at the beginning.

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT

Your highly educated and scientifically trained Doctor of Physical Therapy takes a holistic approach, caring for your body as a whole connected entity, and for you, as a whole person.

 

We are different from your average Physical Therapy in 3 main ways:

 

1. We always treat the nerve first

​

  • Nerves control muscles and muscles attach to bones, in that order (ie. a nerve tells a muscle to pull a bone)

  • By treating the nerve first, we restore the signal to your muscles so they can function fully,

  • And then your postural patterns can change naturally

  • Giving you long-term results instead of a short-term quick fix.

 

2. We look at the whole body to get to the root cause

​

  • In order to solve the whole problem, not just treat symptoms

  • So you get long-term freedom of movement PLUS pain relief,

  • To address all of the areas that are part of the problem, and

  • Prevent bigger problems/injuries in the future

 

3. We help you form simple habits and understanding 

 

  • To keep you healthy and injury-free long-term,

  • Without adding stress or over-complication.

  • So you can sustain your health and wellness long past our time together, becoming independent and empowered,

  • And able to stay healthy, active, and injury-free long-term.

Once I looked into how Lara works, I really was bummed I didn’t start seeing her sooner! The icing protocols, the focus on the nervous system and attention to detail - it all helped me to shift a limiting hip injury from having a truck hit me. I do not enjoy driving and I drove 50+ miles each way to get treated and it was worth it! I saw improvement from the first session to the last and beyond. I can’t wait to iron out more patterns from other old injuries!  Lara listens to you and works with attention and respect for who you are and your particular goals. She brings great physiological expertise and great sensitivity and an amazing amount of tools and techniques to her work and she’s a lot of fun to work with as well. A fantastic professional to add to your recovery team!

Lara is a true holistic pro. I came in with an extremely sore elbow and she diagnosed issues that were far from the elbow. Working on my neck and psoas she got the nerve issues in the elbow to recover - without really ever approaching the elbow. Great experience, a wonderful, present woman, and a gifted healer!!

After seeing many doctors who could not diagnose my condition (pain in my groin area), on my first visit to Lara she was able to quickly determine what was wrong AND heal me after a handful of visits. It was so refreshing to feel like she cared about me as a person rather than just a body part that needed to be diagnosed and treated. Highly recommend!

IF YOU KEEP MOVING WITH PAIN, WHAT IS IT GOING TO COST YOU?

You don't have to keep trying to figure this out on your own. Let's set up a phone call, discuss your specific problem, and discover exactly how we can help you.

"I went to see Lara Johnson because of nerve pain in my elbows, lower back, and right SI joint. I was skeptical at first that her ice regimen would help these things, but was very pleasantly surprised. The icing schedule, in conjunction with her techniques for helping my psoas muscle release, ended up largely taking care of all my symptoms.  The procedure she used to release muscle fibers was occasionally painful but very effective. I found her treatment very successful and have recommended her to my friends who have problems with their lower backs and necks. Lara was also very good at explaining the theory behind why the various treatments work."
