Dr. Lisa Brekke, PT
I am a licensed Physical Therapist in Iowa and earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Sacred Heart University. I am a board-certified clinical specialist in neurologic physical therapy with advanced training in brain injury, vestibular rehabilitation, and manual therapy. I am also a Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS), with Dry Needling certification through IAMT and Craniosacral Therapy training through Michigan State University.
My practice focuses on complex neurological conditions, including dizziness, migraine, concussion, and autonomic nervous system regulation.
Through Brekke Rehab, I provide individualized, evidence-informed physical therapy and wellness services centered on each client's goals and needs.
Through Brekke Rehab Consulting, I provide mentoring, education, and consulting to healthcare professionals seeking to strengthen their clinical reasoning and confidence with complex neurological populations. I also help connect out-of-state clients with appropriate collaborative care providers.
​
Across both practices, my goal is to promote thoughtful, collaborative care that empowers clients and equips clinicians to provide meaningful, high-quality rehabilitation.
Mission
To improve care for people navigating complex neurological conditions by providing thoughtful, individualized rehabilitation and equipping healthcare professionals with the knowledge, clinical reasoning, and confidence to provide meaningful care.
Vision
A healthcare community where complex conditions are met with curiosity instead of assumptions, thoughtful clinical reasoning instead of one-size-fits-all care, and collaboration instead of working in isolation.
Values
Clinical Reasoning
We value thoughtful decision-making, reflection, and the ability to connect the pieces of a complex presentation.
Collaboration
Better care happens when patients, families, clinicians, and other professionals communicate, share expertise, and work toward a common goal.
Individualized Care
There is no single path through a complex condition. We consider the whole person, their goals, environment, and unique presentation.
Education & Empowerment
We believe understanding creates confidence. We help patients better understand their experiences and help clinicians build the knowledge and skills to provide better care.
Evidence With Context
We value research and evidence while recognizing that good clinical care requires thoughtful application to the individual in front of us.
Meaningful Impact
The goal isn't simply to improve a test or treat a diagnosis. We focus on changes that matter in real life, whether that means helping a patient return to what they love or helping a clinician feel more confident caring for a complex patient.
