Lindsey is a GYROTONIC®  Level I Master, GYROKINESIS® Level I and Level 2 Master Trainer,  and a Jumping Stretching Board Master Trainer. The GYROTONIC® principles have helped reshape Lindseys Chiropractic practice into one that now emphasizes cranial-sacral therapy, acupuncture and soft tissue techniques.
