About

What makes Lori Wynn Physical Therapy Unique?

My purpose is to offer individualized (ALWAYS one-on-one) holistic treatments for acute and chronic conditions including headaches, neck and back pain, foot, knee and hip pain, rotator cuff tendonitis, athletic injuries, fibromyalgia, deconditioning, etc.

Physical Therapy Techniques 

In caring for my patients, I will be utilizing both traditional & non-traditional physical therapy techniques; myofascial release; electrical acupuncture; energetic reflexology; research and evidence-based exercise influenced by my decades-long background in Yoga (2017 teacher certification) & Pilates; Thai & therapeutic massage, with an emphasis on lifelong wellness & a sharp focus on physical, emotional & mental fitness.

Masters of Physical Therapy from the University of Pittsburgh

Dr. Wynn achieved her Masters of Physical Therapy from the University of Pittsburgh in 1999, followed by her Clinical Doctorate Degree from Chatham University later in 2009. Throughout these years of treating patients with complaints of pain, she observed that many people were suffering from myofascial and musculoskeletal restrictions which would resolve with stretching, strengthening, joint mobilizations and body work, only to return again, sooner or later. Frustrated with these temporary results, her quest has always been to get to the root of such deep seated physical pain, to locate its true origin in order facilitate in her patients their own self-healing mechanisms, resolving their pain once and for all.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Realizing the importance of this system of meridians in helping patients to find and achieve both physical and energetic balance and thus, not only have the chance to find a complete resolution of symptoms once present, but to prevent them in the first place, she took her studies one step further by delving deeper into studies of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has become increasingly clear to Dr. Wynn that integrating Reflexology into her holistic physical therapy practice has significantly helped to uncover the deeper rooted causes of her physical therapy patients’ pain.

With the knowledge I have been gifted, the experiences that have come my way, my hands and my time, my goal is to do what it takes to care for the whole you. 

What most people think of when they hear the term “Physical Therapy” is very far from what you experience at Lori Wynn Physical Therapy. You do not enter a busy clinic type setting with exercise machines and hi-tech e-stim and ultrasound units.

You enter a peaceful, inviting space in my home with a few key components: a treatment table, my diagnostic skills, and my hands.

All of my patients are viewed and evaluated in a holistic way. Every part of the body is connected with all other areas, and you may be surprised by the implications of this when looking for the true underlying cause of your pain. From the first visit, you will have a thorough understanding of your condition and exactly what it is that you can do in order to heal. I will be here to help you along that process.

Chronic Pain

It was upon return from a recent year-long sabbatical in South America with her family in 2014, having gained a new perspective on life, both personally and professionally, that Dr. Wynn decided to leave the traditional outpatient orthopedic physical therapy world. Though she had enjoyed spending her career in this setting, she felt her patients, especially those with chronic pain, would thrive from the treatments she could only offer in one-on-one, hour long sessions, utilizing a holistic treatment approach, rooted in the fusion of eastern and western philosophies.
