Your progress is our purpose.
“My mission is to provide a well-rounded staff to enable each person to perform at their best.”
— Robert Malone, Owner & Physical Therapist
Robert Malone, Owner and Physical Therapist at Lystra, graduated from the University of Alabama in Birmingham and has been working as a Physical Therapist for 15 years. Prior to his therapy career, he spent eight years as an Army Nurse and completed his graduate studies at the University of North Alabama.
Robert opened Lystra Physical Therapy & Fitness in 2015 with a very specific goal in mind, to treat like no other! With a heavy focus on manual, one-to-one physical therapy, we at Lystra tackle issues that have otherwise remained as nagging pain to keep you living the life you love and deserve to live.
Our approach.
-
Empowerment by Education.
We believe that patient driven healthcare is the future of healthcare. You are in the driver's seat as an active participant in making decisions that ultimately determine your future health and well-being. We strive to educate you with relevant and sound science, empowering you to understand your condition fully so that we can work together as a team to accomplish your health goals.
-
Wellness & Injury Prevention.
We are focused on wellness & injury prevention, not just recovery. As vehicles require routine maintenance, so do our bodies. Waiting until you are injured requires a significant amount of healthcare services and time lost doing your favorite things. We believe that everyone benefits from regular physical “tune-ups” to keep their body operating at maximum potential.
-
Proven Treatment Methods.
Our therapists go beyond the basic education to pursue specialized training in manual therapy, dry needling, e-stim, ultrasound therapy, and activity specific exercise, continually furthering their expertise. Our staff think critically, care passionately, and keep your best interest in mind by referring out to our network of healthcare professionals when needed.
