Nancy Lehman, PT
Nancy Lehman, PT though originally from Pennsylvania, received her physical therapy degree from Georgia Health Sciences University in 1979 and moved to Washington State in 1980. Nancy has lived and worked as a physical therapist in the Issaquah/Sammamish community for 25 years. She opened Squak Mountain Physical Therapy in 1997 so that she could practice physical therapy in a setting where she could work one on one with each patient for an hour and could focus on that patient’s needs and goals every session. She enjoys working with people to overcome their physical challenges and move toward being a healthy balanced active person.
Nancy moved to Washington because of her love of outdoor recreation. She enjoys hiking, backpacking, xcountry skiing, biking and kayaking. Nancy seeks to motivate her patients to learn the tools and techniques for returning them to whatever they want to pursue without pain. She assesses each person’s unique injury/pain situation in the context of their lifestyle: work, home, and recreation. She then works with people utilizing a combination of manual therapies and exercise programs. She has had extensive continuing education training in a variety of soft tissue and joint mobilization techniques and exercise programs. These include, but are not limited to: spinal/extremity joint mobilization, strain counterstrain, myofacial release, craniosacral therapy, and core exercise training. Nancy is dedicated to helping her patients determine what is needed to promote healing, educating them in how to better care for their bodies, and assisting their return to an active lifestyle.
