Lynne Breister, PT, LMT

Credentials: B.S. in Physical Therapy; Licensed Massage Therapist

Lynne Breister, PT grew up in the Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin area and graduated from St. Croix High School, in Solon Springs, Wisconsin. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, in 1990.  She recently obtained her Massage Therapy Certification and is licensed in the state of Wisconsin, as well as the city of Duluth, MN.

Lynne has had extensive experience working in a variety of physical therapy settings. These include:

• General out-patient and sports facilities
• In-patient acute hospitals
• Spinal cord and stroke and long-term rehabilitation facilities
• Home care settings
• Traveling therapy which sent her to a variety of settings all around the country including Oregon and Hawaii. 

While Lynne has enjoyed treating in a variety of settings, what she enjoys most is treating general musculoskeletal complaints in her own private practice setting, where she can treat the patient, and not just the complaint. She enjoys the challenge of determining the underlying cause of the complaints and developing a plan to address it. She utilizes a combination of hands-on techniques, including various massage and other soft tissue techniques, joint mobilization and muscle energy techniques, along with modalities and exercise to address these issues. 

Lynne regularly attends continuing education courses on a variety of topics, many of which emphasize manual therapy techniques, and is certified in:

•  Complex Manual Lymphatic Drainage Treatment 
• Graston Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique
• Cupping Therapy/Massage
