Manipulation, Pelvic Health,
and Yoga for Physical Therapists.
Dr. Madelyn Lamar Altman is a Doctor of Physical Therapy that can treat conditions from your head to your toes and everything in between, because she has training in all areas of Physical Therapy with additional specialized training in Pelvic Health. This allows her to treat everything from neck and shoulder pain to pelvic floor dysfunction. Dr. Madelyn believes that all people deserve to feel empowered on their journey to optimal health, and she provides a nurturing, collaborative space where the patient can feel seen, heard, and understood.
Dr. Madelyn’s practice is integrative – what does that mean? It means that Dr. Madelyn takes an extensive history and uses her knowledge of functional medicine, frequency medicine, the human body, and the human condition to see YOU as the magnificent being that you are, instead of just a person with knee pain, back pain, or pelvic pain. Instead of seeing only the pain, Dr. Madelyn strives to answer the why – She focuses on getting to the root cause of dysfunction by providing customized, whole person care with Physical Therapy which allows you to reach your goals faster and feel better!
Dr. Madelyn takes a contemplative, holistic approach to help clients identify the underlying causes of dysfunction through the use of established Physical Therapy modalities such as soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and therapeutic exercise, as well as Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), behavioral strategies, mindfulness, meditation, pain science, and visceral manipulation to encourage healing, facilitate optimal recovery, and move toward embodied awakening from the inside out. What makes FSM with Dr. Madelyn different from other providers? - Not only does Dr. Madelyn use FSM in almost all of her treatment sessions, she tailors the frequencies to support the client and what is happening in their body, because individualized protocols result in better outcomes.
Dr. Madelyn equips patients with knowledge about what is happening in their bodies and why, empowering them with choices about their course of treatment. Her style is connecting, compassionate, affirming, and trauma-sensitive. Her goal is to give clients agency as they embark on their journey to healing. “I’m just a facilitator, and I’m here to help them and guide them, but they have the choices,” said Dr. Madelyn. “I think that’s really important, especially with clients who have either been in chronic pain or suffered trauma and have gone through the traditional medical model and likely eight to ten providers. I’m here to give them a personalized experience in a safe environment.”
Dr. Madelyn’s journey into integrative physical therapy was shaped by her personal experiences with injury, surgery, and recovery. In 2008, following her own recovery from an ankle fracture, Dr. Madelyn was inspired to pursue a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Her understanding of the human body's healing potential deepened further after being diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia and labral tears, leading to two complex surgeries aimed at realigning her hips and pelvis. While the recovery process was challenging, it was during her months of physical therapy that Dr. Madelyn gained a profound appreciation for the body’s resilience and developed an intimate understanding of the physical and emotional aspects of healing.
After the birth of her third child, Dr. Madelyn experienced pelvic dysfunction firsthand, which required pelvic physical therapy. This personal experience further fueled her passion for pelvic health and, since then, she has made it her mission to educate and empower patients about their bodies. Dr. Madelyn is committed to creating a safe, judgment-free environment where patients can openly discuss pelvic health concerns, helping to reduce stigma and foster confidence in their healing journey.
