Dr. Lori Lantzy

At each session, Lori performs a holistic, biomechanical assessment of each patient to determine his or her weaknesses and deficits. She is a keen listener and identifies clinical nuances that may contribute to pain or pathology. Lori is an expert in muscle testing, joint positioning, posture, body mechanics, strength, and range of motion. She provides a high level of care to patients of all ages, including elite athletes, weekend warriors, or anyone looking to feel or move better.

Lori specializes in pain management, specifically low back and neck pain as well as sport injuries. Each session with Lori will give you a better understanding of your condition, why the injury occurred, decreased pain, and the ability to self-manage future pain.  As part of treatment, Lori offers manual therapy, joint mobilizations, specific muscle
strengthening, postural training, stretching, and neuromuscular re-education.
