Lori Robinson, a native of Cleveland, Ohio, grew up in Shaker Heights, where she enjoyed playing a variety of sports. After graduating from high school, Lori moved west to play softball for the University of Oregon Ducks. However, a torn ACL two days before the season opener against UCLA prevented her from making her college athletic debut. This injury inspired her to pursue a career in physical therapy.
Lori graduated from the University of Oregon with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and a minor in Biology. She then obtained her master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Des Moines University. She began her career as a valued member of the Cleveland Clinic Sports Health Department, where she worked for nearly ten years. Following her tenure there, she worked at a private practice before starting her own physical therapy clinic in 2015.
Once an avid runner, Lori specializes in working with athletes who are training for races or returning to running after an injury. She now has a newfound love of all racquet sports. She is McKenzie-trained and certified in pilates and dry needling. With over 20 years of experience in physical therapy, Lori employs proven techniques and approaches to treat various orthopedic injuries.
Osteoporosis became deeply personal to Lori after her mother passed away from complications following a hip fracture, and her husband was later diagnosed with the disease. These experiences brought a new level of awareness to the seriousness of this often silent condition and sparked a commitment to helping others protect and improve their bone health.
With a strong interest in wellness and longevity, Lori works with individuals of all ages, focusing on helping them age well through improved posture, balance, and strength. Her approach emphasizes safe, effective movement that supports long-term independence and quality of life.
Lori is accredited in the Onero Program, a clinically developed, strength-based regimen created at The Bone Clinic in Australia. Backed by over a decade of research, this program is designed specifically for individuals with osteopenia and osteoporosis. Through brief, targeted strength sessions clients work to build strength, improve function, and support bone density over time.
Lori is passionate about empowering her clients with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to move safely, stay strong, and live fully.
