Dr. Sarah Zimmer, PT, DPT

A Wisconsin-native, Sarah has lived in Colorado since 2017, where she has found herself continuously exploring the beautiful mountains through various activities like trail running, hiking, climbing, and road biking. Sarah graduated with her Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She moved to Colorado as soon as she could in order to pursue her dream of working with an active population and high-level athletes of all ages, abilities, cultures, identities and backgrounds. Sarah is passionate about using her physical therapy expertise to treat patients in a very holistic manner - utilizing dry needling, soft tissue work, corrective exercise, and functional strength training to help patients get back to doing what they love to do. When she is not running or treating patients, you can find Sarah cooking, playing with her dog Sherman, reading a book, and spending as much time as she can with her friends and family. If you still can’t find Sarah, she is most likely cutting a major “rug” on the dance floor. She did win a Micheal Jackson moonwalking competition in 2014 – no big deal.

Dr. Lindsey Mayer, DPT, OCS, COMT, ATC

Lindsey graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training and Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. She is a Board-Certified Specialist in Orthopedics, as well as a certified orthopedic manual therapist. Prior to living in Boulder, Lindsey worked in the outpatient orthopedic setting for Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin and Tennessee Orthopedic Alliance in the Nashville area. She has worked with a variety of collegiate athletes, high school athletes, military personnel, all forms of weekend warriors, and everyone in between. She utilizes joint mobilizations, soft tissue mobilization, and corrective exercise to develop an individualized program based on your needs. She is skilled in trigger point dry needling and dry needling with a neuroscience-based approach for pain management, prevention, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement. In her free time, Lindsey enjoys hiking, running, traveling, spending time with friends, and family, as well as playing around with her puppies, Ace and Allie.

Learn how therapeutic memory reconsolidation helps you rewire old neural networks so that your thoughts and memories feel good and serve you. And learn a quick, easy-to-remember exercise in deep relaxation and mental rehearsal to unlock the power of your unconscious mind to enhance the change you’re creating.

Here’s what to expect:
