Lisa’s hometown is Overland Park, Kansas. She came to Lincoln in 1995 to accept an athletic scholarship and work towards an undergraduate degree in biology. She was a member of the University of Nebraska volleyball team from 1995-1997.

After finding success with a treatment approach termed Postural Restoration, Lisa decided to attend physical therapy school. She received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2005. Following her training she went to work at the Hruska Clinic for four years, and then accepted an opportunity to practice at the Rejuvenation Center in Omaha.  Lisa joined Crossroads in 2011.

Lisa has been certified in using Postural Restoration techniques since 2008.  Lisa has been a consultant to several university sports medicine departments and authored numerous articles regarding biomechanics and preventative training strategies.
