Lisa Lavene Joins Horizon Physical Therapy

Horizon Physical Therapy (www.horizonpt.net) is excited to announce the addition of Lisa Lavene to its team of professionals. Lisa joined Horizon Physical Therapy in May of 2016. She graduated from UNMC in 2001 with a Master of Physical Therapy degree. She has worked in a variety of settings including acute hospital care, acute inpatient rehab, home health care, skilled nursing, and general outpatient therapy. Lisa recently completed a Therapeutic Pain Specialist (TPS) certification from International Spine and Pain Institute.

Pain can be complex and involves many factors. Lisa’s treatment approach focuses on educating people more about pain, not just anatomy, with an evidence-based biopsychosocial approach. She combines pain neuroscience education (PNE) with other physical therapy treatment strategies such as manual therapy, neural tissue mobilization, therapeutic exercise, aerobic exercise, relaxation techniques, and many more. Lisa empowers patients to learn strategies they can do themselves to calm a sensitive nervous system and improve well-being.
