Meet the Integrative Physiotherapy Team
Dr. Lindsey Karlin, Clinical Director
Physical Therapy has been a part of Dr. Lindsey’s life since she was a child. At birth, Dr. Lindsey was born with a nerve injury, resulting in a loss of mobility of her right arm. Growing up in a baseball centered family, she had always dreamed of playing softball. For years, she worked with a physical therapist to restore mobility and function which allowed her to succeed with her softball career where she played at the collegiate level and internationally. Because of this lifelong experience, she has gained a passion for functional based movement. Lindsey strives to be a motivator to incorporate movement-based medicine into her patient’s lifestyles to help them achieve their goals and improve quality of life.
Since joining the IP community in 2021, she received direct mentorship by John Kummrow, shaping her multifaceted treatment style. She implements a holistic, biopsychosocial approach to her neuromuscular-based foundations. Dr. Lindsey has clinical experience with orthopedic, post-operative, and vestibular based therapies, however has a special interest in treating athletes, complex chronic patients, and spinal related pathologies. She is Functional Dry Needling I and II certified.
Born and raised in Berthoud, Colorado, Lindsey graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona. In her free time, she enjoys skiing, hiking, backpacking, cooking, and picking up on any local sport teams. An avid foodie and dog lover, Lindsey loves spending time outside with her husband and two pups, Rhea and Roo.

A Tribute to Our Founder
Dr. John Kummrow first found his passion and respect for physical fitness as an athlete. He explored an array of athletic outlets, including football, bodybuilding and martial arts. John experienced the worst injury of his life as a student athlete on the football field, just prior to graduation from Colorado State University. The medical community at that time concluded that due to the severity of the injury, John would lose full use of his right arm and shoulder. Despite the medical community’s opinions, John believed that he could recover. He took that perspective to graduate school and earned his DPT. Along the way, he applied his instincts and his education to his own injury, which resulted in nearly complete function of his right arm and shoulder.
In 2009, Dr. John opened Integrative Physiotherapy, thereby providing a unique, fast-paced, high-performing and multi-faceted form of physical therapy in Northern Colorado. His practice stemmed from his personal experience of severe injury, and his respect for both eastern and western philosophies of medicine. These philosophies and treatment styles are foundational to the I.P. Approach and the legacy the clinic continually strives to uphold.
