Hi, I’m Lindsay.
It’s time to improve your lymphatic system to promote health and healing from your cancer.
I see you struggling with fullness and discomfort
I see how exhausted and weak you are from your treatments
I see your fear, anxiety, and stress from the unknown
I see your frustration on where your body is today
THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE YOUR NORM.
I don’t want you to feel lost or hopeless any longer, allow me to UPLIFT you through your cancer journey.
Hey there, I’m Lindsay.
I am a physical therapist and owner of Uplifted Oncology Rehab based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I am a Certified lymphedema and Certified Oncology Specialist. I assist with rehabilitating everything CANCER. I have specialized programs focusing on CANCER RISK REDUCTION, CANCER REHABILITATION, AND CANCER MANAGEMENT.
My MISSION is to create a healthier lymphatic system to promote HEALTH AND HEALING for those at risk of cancer, actively fighting cancer, and survivors of cancer.
Here’s My Story
I started Uplifted because I saw a NEED for CANCER HEALTH AND HEALING. I have worked with so many patients over the years that had no/minimal guidance of how to HEAL after their cancer journey. Many of them were coming to me after SEVERAL YEARS of suffering. They went through Insult, after insult, after insult with NO FORMAL REHABILITATIVE SERVICES AT ANY STAGE!
Answer me this…
When an individual has an elective orthopedic surgery including total knee replacement, total hip replacement, ACL repair, rotator cuff surgery, etc…what is ALWAYS THE NEXT STEP??
Answer: REHABILITATION
Second question…
What happens when an individual goes through aggressive surgery to remove their cancer and/or other surrounding tissue, then jumps right into chemotherapy, then moves into radiation, and then has reconstructive surgery???
Answer: IT SHOULD ALSO BE REHABILITATION!!!! BUT unfortunately, I have worked with SEVERAL patients that went through that exact scenario, without having ANY THERAPY WHATSOEVER!
I am on a mission to CHANGE THIS! . I feel that every individual going through CANCER SHOULD AND MUST HAVE A THERAPIST FOLLOWING THEM! This will not only assist with their acute needs BUT this may significantly reduce the risk of having long term complications from their cancer and cancer related treatments.
Uplifted is dedicated to all my past patients and to all my future patients that were/are lost and hopeless. I AM READY TO PUT MY HEART AND SOUL INTO UPLIFTING YOU!
Professional Bio
The physiological impact of cancer is profound and it is crucially important that oncology rehabilitation providers address all the patient’s body systems affected by their cancers. Lindsay has successfully completed a rigorous Oncology Rehabilitation Certification Course through PORi (Physiological Oncology Rehabilitation Institute) designed to teach Physical therapist/occupational therapist/and speech language pathologists about the impact of cancer and cancer treatments on all the systems of our body including skin, muscle, skeletal, lymphatic, nerve, gastrointestinal, urogenital, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. Lindsay has earned the title of Oncology Rehabilitation Specialist and Uplifted is designated as a PORi Center of Excellence.
Lindsay graduated from Carroll College in 2008, earning her Clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy, along with a BS in Psychology. Lindsay opened Uplifted in March of 2023 after working as a physical therapist in an Outpatient/Inpatient health care setting. In 2016, became a Certified Lymphedema Therapist and began treating and teaching others on how to manage their chronic swelling. In 2019, she began her training through PORi and completed all the core courses including Foundations, Breast Cancer, Pelvic Cancers, Head/Neck Cancers, and Chemotoxicity and Cancer exercise. After completion of all the coursework, she was compelled to open her own private practice so that individuals, touched by cancer, would have a location to go to for their rehabilitation that is specific to their cancer type and their individual cancer treatments.
Uplifted is dedicated to the ones I love and are no longer present in my life. Grandma Jo taught me about faith, Grandpa Mike taught me about determination and hard work, Grandma Lillian taught me about finding the joy “In the little things”, Tom taught me about the importance of family, and Rita taught me to DANCE like no one is watching and BE A LIGHT IN THE WORLD!
