Brad Lyons
Maitland-Trained Manual Therapist with 26 Years in Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Brad Lyons has spent twenty-six years in physical therapy, twenty-three of them treating workers’ compensation cases — the injuries that don’t resolve cleanly, the post-surgical patients who’ve already been through the system, and the people who’ve run out of easy answers.
His manual therapy foundation is built on Maitland methodology, which he trained in through the Australian Physiotherapy Association in 2003, completing the program as a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT). That training runs through his daily clinical work in nerve flossing, joint mobilization, and spinal and peripheral mobilization. He’s also highly trained in Myokinesthetics, a soft-tissue approach that targets muscular imbalance and dysfunction at the nerve level — a technique that pairs naturally with Maitland-based work across both joint and soft-tissue presentations.
At Synergy Healthcare, where he has practiced for the last four years, Brad’s caseload tends toward orthopedic and neuromusculoskeletal cases that benefit from a heavily hands-on approach. Additional training in Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (StemWave) extends his range into regenerative and neurological pain applications.
Beliefs Behind My Therapeutic Approach
“Most chronic pain isn’t actually chronic. It’s just been treated badly long enough to look that way — and the right hands-on work, applied to the actual driver, can move things the patient had given up on.”

WHO I HELP
Built for Injuries Others Gave Up On
If you’ve been passed from provider to provider with the same pain still showing up, you’re the kind of patient my practice was built around. Most cases that look complicated are just untreated drivers wearing a chronic disguise. The work is finding the right structure, mobilizing it correctly, and giving the rest of the body permission to settle.
