True Pilates & Physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: Lindsay..Lindsay..Lindsay…she is just simply amazing! She goes above and beyond for her patients. Very knowledgeable & understanding! I seriously have not met anyone else like her..no joke, she is literally top notch. Very resourceful as well!

Fantastic experience: After years of back and hip pain, and loads of treatments (steroid injections and trigger point injections in my spine, hips, and facet joints) and medications, Lindsay Branzel helped me get strong, flexible, and focus on both my posture and other ergonomic considerations (like how I drive and sit in my car). After visiting her weekly for a few months, my strength increased, and my pain decreased substantially. Because she is both a Physical Therapist AND an extremely knowledgeable pilates instructor, she has been the best practitioner I have worked with. Her knowledge, gentleness, and modifications when necessary, have made the most significant reduction in pain and increase in strength and ability that I have ever had…and I’ve been going to both PTs and Pilates instructors for over a decade. The studio is spotless, private, light and airy…and there is a large variety of pilates equipment (Cadillac, reformer, chair, standing wall units) and a huge variety of handles, loops, ankle cuffs, pilates poles, rollers…the list goes on. Depending upon my trouble spots for the week…Lindsay is able to use props and exercises to help work out the painful spots and show me straggles to both strengthen the muscles and release the spasms —helping to break the pain cycle. She is a very gentle and caring practitioner, patient and supportive of where you “are” from week to week. I’m so lucky to have found her. My highest recommendation!

Fantastic experience: I found Lindsay after struggling w years of back pain. I did lots of PT but found I really wanted that I wanted a whole hour w a PT. she’s Pilates based and helped me w body position awareness to prevent back pain while doing pilates or riding my bike. Gaining greater awareness of my body positioning helped me make small modifications to relive my pain. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Lindsay!

Fantastic experience: Lindsay is heaven sent. Let me start there. Then, let me ask you: do you have a complicated ailment that no one seems to be able to help you with or need help in figuring it out? Like, do you need someone who *knows* how the body and brain connect and work together? Do you consider yourself in need of someone who listens and understands what you know about your body and how it's not operating properly and can be empathetic and completely focuses on helping you get back to working right? She's your answer. I have literally been around the country looking for someone who could understand me in my frustrations and see through it and help me understand how to fix it, with the additional hands and knowledge to help. This woman is incredible. I cannot wait to get back to Reno and work with her again. She is able to see the body in ways not many can with the common sense ability to explain what's moving, and where, inside, and how to correct it, plus your breathing and mind connections. It's hard to explain, but she's got the gift. If your have something going on that's hard to explain, try Lindsay; She will understand and guide you to healthy movement. As an aside, I wasn't able to experience much of the pilates part of what she does. I can only imagine that if one would work with her on the equipment, you would not only have fun, but you'd also learn how to move the most effective and safely throughout life. Have fun. Thank you, Lindsay. I will be back, and maybe just move to Reno in order to work with you on a LT basis. I appreciate you.

Fantastic experience: I am thrilled to recommend Lindsay Branzel because she has given me so much insight into my alignment and movement. After a Total Knee Replacement 4 years ago I began having chronic pain in my hip. I signed up for the Rehabilitation Package and have made vast improvements. Recovery from a TKR is much more than the degree of bend in your knee. With Lindsay's questions and observations she was able to show me how to walk in a more aligned manner and strengthen areas that had become weak and painful. She has taught me to become aware of pain triggers and to adjust by literally walking my way out of them. Lindsay has given me a map to the physiology of my body--making it a much better place to live within. I am eternally and internally grateful!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Lindsay for a couple months now. I started going to see her for physiotherapy after I had an excruciating pain develop in my coccyx as a result from surgery on my lower leg. I could not even sit on the couch for 10 minutes and no one could figure out what was causing this very focused and intense pain. After one session of work and home exercises I started to see some improvement. Two months later, I am mostly pain free (depending on how consistent I am on my side to do my physiotherapy exercises). Lindsay is now working on treating a year and a half old rotator cuff injury that she noticed without me even saying anything. The thing that I have been most impressed with going to Lindsay versus a regular physical therapist (which I have also had great success with in the past) is that she looks at the whole body and sees what ALL needs to be re-aligned or strengthened. If you have pain or just feel out of balance, I would highly recommend giving her a call.

Fantastic experience: Genuinely a thoughtful and caring person. I appreciate her sense of curiosity and openness to try new methods. I love how she is continually educating herself on the human body. Her positive attitude is contagious and I quickly trusted her and knew I was in good hands! After working with Lindsay , I have been able to sufficiently rehabilitate my back issues. I grow stronger everyday practicing the suggested alignment improvements and strengthening movements from true Pilates and Physiotherapy!! Thanks!!

Fantastic experience: Lindsay blew me away with her ability to look at my movement and give me a simple plan towards relief of the sciatic nerve pain I have been dealing with for close to 15 years. After the very first visit, I felt more hopeful than I have in years! Thank you Lindsay, I will for sure be sending my birth doula and childbirth education clients home with your information!

Fantastic experience: Not only is this a great place for physical therapy, it's also a wonderful place to work with a true Pilates expert. Lindsay is so knowledgeable and insightful when it comes to working with the body. She is a great listener, takes her time working with you and really gets to the root of any pains your body is experiencing. I came to Lindsay for rehabilitation after breaking my foot and have had wonderful success. I highly recommend this studio.

Fantastic experience: Lindsey Branzel is so well in tune with her clients. I have observed her in clinics and see her weekly. She figures out where the true problem lies with pain. For example, I went to her for my elbow pain and she found that it originated with my shoulder girdle along with my posture. My posture has improved due to her teaching me awareness of my body position. I am extremely happy with my results in that I have less pain and my success in physical activities has improved. I believe the physical gain is worth the cost. Lindsey's knowledge of the body is phenomenal.

Fantastic experience: My daughter’s physical therapist and her dance instructor referred her to Lindsay to strengthen certain muscles and stabilize her alinement. Lindsay is knowledgeable, able to assess my daughters strengths and weaknesses. She quickly identified my daughters needs, personalizing her workout. Lindsay clearly and precisely explains the movements with kind yet purposeful corrections. We are thankful for expertise and help!

Fantastic experience: Lindsey Branzel was recommended to me by a friend and fellow yoga practitioner and instructor as someone who may be able to help me with a nagging hamstring and rotator cuff issue and I can't say enough how glad I am I came to see her. Lindsey's vast body knowledge and ability to assess and rehabilitate is beyond compare. Different than traditional physical therapists, Lindsey's approach allowed me to continue my current level of activity and blend her recommendations to my current yoga practice resulting in less pain and a better body awareness as a whole. Regardless if you have past or current injuries or are simply seeking a highly-skilled Pilates instructor to take your practice to the next level, True Pilates and Physiotherapy is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: After three sessions with the gifted Lindsay Branzel, I want to sing her praise from the mountain tops. I feel great! I've gained so much insight into some of my nagging chronic pain issues. I'm excited to integrate these insights into my personal yoga practice and to remember them as I'm moving through the world. If you are searching for quality private Pilates sessions for fitness or rehab or are trying to find a highly skilled physiotherapist who gives personalized one-on-one attention, give Lindsay a call.
