James Physio

Truly an Excellent Physical Therapist... After having major foot and leg surgery, I finally hobbled my way into my Gym, the Training Zone. When the staff asked about my recovery, they found it hard to believe that I was released by my Doctor with no mention of Physical Therapy. Concerned they mentioned that they thought I might want to see their Physical Therapist, Dr. James Lambert. I hesitated to contact him because I really didn't want to let anyone touch my poor foot nor my leg because of the severe pain I was still experiencing. Two days later I rec'd a call from Dr. Lambert telling me the Staff at gym had told him they were concerned and asked him to contact me.  He asked about my surgery, my recovery, symptoms and my pain level. Then he said if I wanted to stop by he could demonstrate some exercises and stretches that would be helpful in my recovery. Thinking it over, I knew I had to start with restoring my range of motion, but felt overwhelmed knowing I could easily cause further damage or injury to my foot, so I decided to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lambert.  I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and polite. He is kind and his mannerism immediately put me at ease. After spending some time discussing my surgery, symptoms and my goals, he said he thought I could definitely benefit from some Physical Therapy treatments but didn’t want to rush me into a decision. He did identify and demonstrated several exercises and stretches to help with flexibility and also encouraged me to use regular shoes as soon as possible because the boot slows the recovery process. Over the next two weeks, while I contacted my Doctor and Health Care Plan to inquire about Physical Therapy benefits, Dr. Lambert contacted me a few times to see how I was doing with the exercises and stretches. He also asked how my Doctor’s appointment had gone, which I couldn’t believe he remembered. Even after finding out that I do have Physical Therapy coverage thru my Health Care Plan, I decided to schedule Physical Therapy sessions with Dr. Lambert because he truly cares and has shown genuine concern for me and my recovery. During the sessions he explains what he is doing and why he is working on that particular muscle or area and changes up the exercises and stretches accordingly. I’ve never felt rushed or felt that he is distracted.  In fact, I can tell I have his undivided attention and that he is listening to me when I’m talking to him. I am extremely pleased and Thankful that I was referred to Dr. James Lambert and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Great Physical Therapist.

I highly recommend physical therapy at Prana Physio. James is great! He is very knowledgeable finding the source of your pain and his technique is top notch. I have had two sessions and I leave feeling better each time. I have had up to 20 physical therapy sessions at other places in the past without the results I get in just two sessions with James. I have been suffering from chronic right shoulder and neck pain radiating down my arm for over 40 years from a car accident. I finally found the right physical therapist and heading in the right direction getting back to normal and doing the things I love. I will continue seeing James for my care and again I highly recommend him.

I'm waiting to see an orthopedist for my very injured hip. In the meantime, I had a long distance horseback event over the holiday weekend. Dr James patiently went through a bunch of exercises to find a couple that don't cause me a lot of pain but will help my joint stay mobile. He kinesiotaped the hip to provide support for my event, which was super helpfulness! I really appreciate him checking in with me after our appointment to see how I was doing, and after the event. Thanks, Dr James!

Pain keeps us from our full potential and from doing what we love. In the 1st consult with James Lambert, he was able to identify the exact location of my weakness which IS causing the pain in other areas of my body. Nobody has been able to do this for me. And being that he IS an Ironman, he has more knowledge when it comes to us athletes and desires for us to return to racing again asap without injury or pain. I do highly believe in Chiropractic and Symmetry also. They both work wonders and have helped me tremendously... they are needed but we cannot be one dimensional when it comes to our body. I'm happy that I now get to include James' Physical Therapy treatment in my care, it's making a huge difference.

Dr. Lambert is an excellent physical therapist. I've been doing PT for the last couple years & have never had the level of hands on care and pain relief that I've received from Dr. Lambert. Additionally, I was in a minor car accident recently & had a pretty bad headache that lingered for a couple days afterwards. Dr. Lambert was able to alleviate my headache pain after a single session. For someone who suffers from chronic pain, having someone who legitimately helps is invaluable.

All I’m gonna say is, I haven’t been able to touch my toes for YEARS, and now I can! I just kept doing it in the office over an over because I couldn’t believe it. Dr. Lambert is really good at what he does. I also appreciate his holistic approach and his gentle nature. I would ten out of ten recommend.

"Did you do you're homework?" He'd ask, "You have to do you're exercises at home to see improvements over time" was the message. Take time to work on yourself, take accountability in order to heal. Dr. Lambert truly cares and takes the time to teach proper technique and form. It's clear he has a passion for helping others , and he balances being supportive while encouraging patient's to continue their individual work to attain their therapeutic goals. I rarely rave about a professional in healthcare but Dr. Lambert is so good It would be a shame if he isn't helping as many people as possible.

Highly recommend Prana Physio and Dr. Lambert. I'm preparing for my first Ironman and Dr. Lambert was able to diagnose some mobility issues that could eventually lead to an injury if not corrected. It's refreshing to have someone knowledgeable and have experience as a traithalete.
