Susan Fitzgerald

Lynn was extremely helpful in diagnosing and treating the pain I was experiencing in my hip and leg. I am so sorry she will not be here to help me with any further problems I may have with arthritis.

Lynn provided gentle PT and I have been pain free for many years since - all in just two sessions.

I was a client of Lynne's in Silver Spring. When I fell and sprained my knee, I used Lynne's expertise in healing my knee. She first made a plan for my recovery. During my sessions with her, she did both manual therapy and exercises for my healing. She also gave me specific exercises to do at home in between our sessions. She also was a call or an email away at all times. I couldn't have asked for a better PT provider.

I saw Lynne over the course of many years for a range of issues - chronic muscle tension and pain, mobility and sports injury - and have yet to meet another therapist that holds a candle to the breadth of knowledge and amazingly gentle yet effective manual therapeutic skills possessed by Lynne. She has studied many complementary and alternative modalities and combines them into a treatment style that is uniquely her own. If I were still within her geographic locale, she would continue to be my PT in a heartbeat!

Lynne Gist is an amazing Physical Therapist! She is very respectful, caring, honest, and kind, as well as knowledgeable and highly skilled. I highly recommend her, for anything from a sore shoulder to a pelvic floor issue! She knows her stuff!

Maryland’s Loss is Oklahoma’s Gain: Many times from 2008 through 2011, Lynne treated me for various types of pain. I was in my 60’s then and had had a seriously bad back since age 30. I was also beginning to “re-experience” pains from various athletic injuries that happened throughout my life from high school and later. Many age-related ailments were beginning to nag me daily, as well. I had seen other Physical Therapists and numerous Chiropractors by the time I found Lynne. Some had been somewhat helpful. But for the most part I had become very cynical about the claims any of them made about how effective their techniques would be. During my first session with Lynne, she was explaining a technique called Biovalent Manual Therapy. (At least this is the way I remember it.) She would push on a painful spot and hold the pressure for a few seconds. She explained the process in a way that I interpreted as being a lot like acupuncture, but without the needles. She just applied pressure with her thumbs or fingertips. Without her noticing, I hope, I was rolling my eyes and thinking that this was just another bill of goods that might sound great to some, but I wasn’t buying them. But I kept an open mind and figured I’d just get through the hour and go on my way. Then by the end of my session, some of the pain seemed to be reduced. What? My first reaction was that this was just my mind buying Lynne’s story and doing its part to make it work. But a day or two later, I was still feeling better. As I said earlier, I saw Lynne periodically for four years. She improved my back significantly. She also completely eliminated an extreme problem with my neck that had rendered it virtually frozen stiff for more than a decade. This caused me great difficulty in looking to either side to assess traffic conditions while driving my car. She also helped greatly with some joint pain and a badly bruised collar bone I got from riding a mountain bike down a ski slope that contained a patch of loose gravel. Lynne was so effective in helping me with these issues, that I took my son-in-law to her for his persistent bad back. She got him walking a lot better in just a few visits as well. Not only did she provide effective on-site treatment, she suggested helpful exercises that I could fit into an often insane work schedule. For instance, twenty relaxed toe touches in every warm shower I take has kept my back problems at bay for years now. (The key is stretching muscles that get too tight when not used enough.) Plus, 10 reps of twisting my head as far as possible from side to side, in that same warm shower, has kept it easy for me to observe traffic for ten years now. The exercises turned out to have their downside. They helped so much that I stopped having to see Lynne for years. I’m now (in 2019) having more joint problems, and would like to see Lynne again. But I just learned I’d have to fly from Baltimore to Oklahoma to do so. Sigh, maybe we’ll schedule a cross-country road trip sometime soon and make an appointment while we’re in the area.

I was Lynne's patient for 3 years while I was in Silver Spring. She provided me with gentle and effective treaments for a back aliment. She is not only a telented practicioner but also a terriffic person.

Betty Sitka

Lynne Gist is extraordinarily gifted! I have been to scores of PTs through the years - with 2 hip replacements and a new knee replacement, and in very short order she identified a key structural issue for me to address. I wish she was still in Maryland and able to help me ... and happy for Oklahomans who will now have access to her talents.

Leslie Loker

Lynn was very capable and helpful in treating my neck problem. A nice person and good listener. I recommend her without reservation.

Emily Weir

She is able to help with pelvic floor issues and helped me during my first pregnancy.

Catherine Varchaver

Lynn is a gifted physical therapist and healer. She is knowledgable and compassionate, and has many tools in her toolbox to resolve a wide range of complaints. You are in truly great hands with Lynn and will feel better when you leave her office!

Cecilia Munoz

Three members of my family and countless friends have sought pain relief from Lynne Gist and none of us has been disappointed. She is a true healer, and I highly recommend her!

Lynne Gist is the consummate professional. A highly skilled manual physical therapist, her wide range of experience, advanced and specialist training allow her to identify and successfully treat many conditions and complicated cases that often have not responded completely to standard types of therapy. While her approaches are gentle they are also precise and powerful, promoting long lasting change. I can't recommend Lynne highly enough.

Kelly Tuchman

Lynne has a very calming presence that is very therapeutic.
