Victoria grew up in Tampa, Florida where she got her Bachelor of Science degree, but moved away to escape the heat. She attended her Doctor of Physical Therapy program at High Point University.
During her studies, she developed a deep interest in pelvic floor physical therapy. Her passion for the field was solidified after experiencing her own pelvic floor issues following the birth of her son, Clark.

This experience further fueled her passion for the field.
She enjoys breaking the stereotypes around pelvic health and providing a safe space for her patients to share their questions and concerns. She carries a special empathy with her patients after experiencing her own pelvic floor dysfunction and knows how important it is to be heard.

Dr. Lindsey Karamihalis
DPT, DN-CERT, ORTHO AND PELVIC HEALTH SPECIALIST
Lindsey is originally from Florida where she attended the University of Florida for her Bachelor’s degree! She then moved to North Carolina where she received her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at High Point University. She has continued her journey north to join the OrthoPelvic team!
As Lindsey learned more about pelvic health therapy in school, she was drawn to the openness and connection that is born while engaging over a topic not widely discussed.
Lindsey is fascinated by the body and the way in which we can use our understanding, strategies, and tools to heal. She believes that knowledge is power and the more understanding we have of our bodies the more we start to feel at home.
Her drive comes from helping men and women enjoy life without worrying about where the closest bathroom is or pain getting in the way of connecting with their partner.
Dr.Lindsey is certified in various manual therapy and hands on techniques such as myofascial release. She has taken several pelvic health courses and is also certified in functional dry needling.
Lindsey is an advocate for body neutrality, “prioritizing the body’s function and what it can do rather than its appearance.” She believes that healing and self love is for everyone and enjoys creating a safe space for her patients to come as they are.” Lindsey treats patients who identify as male and female.
Dr. Veronica Thornton
DPT, DN-CERT, ORTHO AND PELVIC HEALTH SPECIALIST
Veronica is originally from Fredericksburg, VA. She attended Virginia Tech for her bachelors degree and then decided to move west to sunny Austin, TX where she attended the Univeristy of St. Augustine for Health Sciences to receive her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She quickly realized how much she missed Virginia and moved back east upon graduation!
In school, Veronica had several professors who were very passionate about pelvic floor physical therapy that piqued Veronica’s interest! This lead to Veronica requesting clinical rotations in the pelvic health field.
Veronica has seen how much pelvic floor dysfunction can affect individuals and how treatment can help them be comfortable and confident again. Her desire to treat pelvic floor patients stems from the pelvic floor providing basic functions that can limit us so greatly and wanting to reduce those restrictions.
She has taken pelvic health courses from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and is currently an active member of the APTA Pelvic Health section.
In her spare time, Veronica likes to spend time at the farm riding horses, baking sourdough bread at home, and spending time with her family.
Veronica is passionate about assisting patients in their journey towards comfort and confidence.
