Lindsay McGraw

PT, DPT, OCS, CEAS, RYT-200

 

Lindsay McGraw is a doctor of physical therapy and wellness advocate who is passionate about prevention and whole-body health.

During more than ten years working at top physical therapy clinics in San Francisco, Lindsay recognized that many of the injuries she was treating were preventable. As a biomechanical expert and orthopedic clinical specialist, she knows the factors that lead to pain and injury and how to prevent them—and she wanted to share that knowledge more broadly.

She started Marka Health in 2016, working one on one with individuals looking beyond a single body part and instead at their overall wellbeing and function, as well as with companies and organizations wanting to become more health conscious and grow their wellness programs. Lindsay knows the challenges of the modern worker, and combines her western medical training with an eastern medicine approach, while being aware of the challenges people experience navigating the modern health & wellness landscape. She combines these into her signature realistic and holistic approach to care, becoming your friend, educator, and advocate. Just think of her as your personal guide along the path of wellness.

Lindsay currently splits her time between California and North Carolina, where she aspires to be a gentlewoman farmer but mostly tries to keep up with her two daughters and rambles on about one day getting chickens.
