ABOUT
Synergistic Movement brings together two key factors to human movement and recovery. Mobility: the ability to move or be moved freely and easily. Stability: the property of the body to maintain or restore it's original condition when disturbed from a condition of equilibrium or steady motion. Through a movement based assessment, I will assess your body’s ability to be mobile and stable. The results of this assessment will guide the treatment and what needs to be treated using any combination of Acupuncture, Fascial Stretch Therapy and Muscle Activation.
Lin Duffyhill is a soft tissue specialist with experience in sports recovery, sports injury rehabilitation, and overall wellness. She has worked with individuals of all ages, sports and lifestyle backgrounds. Her focus is to get your body moving as efficiently and pain-free as possible by restoring both mobility and stability. The body responds to stress, trauma, overuse, injury, and inflammation by decreasing range of motion and muscles “shutting down” (muscle weakness) which results in improper body mechanics. This often presents itself as pain. Restoring proper body mechanics will increase the efficiency of the body and decrease pain.
MEET LIN
I grew up in Denver, CO and received my Bachelors of Science at Oregon State University with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science with a minor in Psychology. At Oregon State, I was a Division I Rower for four years. I also worked at Denver Sports Recovery for four years, treating a wide variety of clients with Fascial Stretch Therapy and Lokte Method, as well as working as a Recovery Specialist in the recovery room.
Being an athlete all of my life and playing a different sport each season, I found myself in the high school training room on a regular basis. Seeing how my high school Athletic Trainer was able to help bring people back to their sport and witnessing firsthand the impact that had on their lives, I instantly knew sports medicine was the field for me. You start to find purpose, identity, and happiness in the things you do. When you lose the ability to do those things because of pain or immobility, it starts to weigh on you, both mentally and physically.
My goal is to help get you back to the things you love - whether that’s back to a professional sport, weekend hiking adventures, running around with your kids, (or whatever you're passionate about), and give you the tools and knowledge to keep you there. I have worked with a wide range of people - anywhere from professional football and lacrosse players, ultra runners, ironman athletes, rock climbers, and cross fitters to weekend warriors, casual hikers, or that person who threw out their back while moving. You should never have to stop doing the activities you love or have to deal with pain on a day to day basis.

testimonials
“I really liked Lin’s approach. As an NFL player, the key to being a great athlete and staying healthy throughout such a long season is optimizing recovery and flexibility. Lin was more than accommodating and had many techniques to help keep my muscles feeling good and my joints mobile. ”
“As a Masters Weightlifter I regularly have tight muscles and joint pain from training. I have been getting Fascial Stretch and Lokte Method with Lin regularly for the past two years and it is the best thing I have done for my mobility , movement, and overall wellness. Lin always does her best to get me moving better and back to training hard. She is an amazing Recovery Specialist!”
“As a professional MMA fighter and coach frequently holding and hitting pads, I had severe pain in my elbow. I tried many things to relieve the pain: massage, electrical stimulation, cryotherapy etc... It would temporary relieve the pain but it would come back shortly after. I tried the Lokte Method with Lin. It was long and pretty uncomfortable for about 20 mins, but I was completely pain free after the treatment and the pain didn’t come back. It only took one treatment and it completely fixed my problem. I fully recommend people to try Lokte Method with Lin. She is amazing and gives just the right amount of pressure that you can handle to fix your problem.”
“I cannot recommend Lin enough as an acupuncturist! When I first came to her, I was dealing with significant neck and hip pain, tightness, and tension—so much that it was impacting my sleep and daily life. I’d wake up with kinks in my neck, and my posture from working long hours as a lawyer left me with persistent, throbbing neck pain and headaches throughout the workday. On a scale of 1 to 10, my pain often hovered around a 6 or 7, leaving me exhausted, irritable, and desperate for relief.
Lin’s treatments have been life-changing. Her clinic is warm, welcoming, and incredibly comfortable. She uses cutting-edge tools that not only look impressive but work wonders. Each visit is a relaxing and deeply healing experience. I’ve gone to her for acupuncture, cupping, and e-stim, and I can’t say enough about how much e-stim has elevated my treatments.”
